Logan informed officers that a custodial hearing was scheduled for the afternoon of Monday, December 28 at Maricopa County Superior Court – Family Court.
Elizabeth failed to appear at the custodial hearing. Subsequently, Logan was issued full custody of Gabriel Johnson. Investigators had received information that Elizabeth and Gabriel were in the San Antonio Texas area. Since Elizabeth was out of the state of Arizona, and no longer had custodial rights to the child, a warrant was issued for Elizabeth Johnson for the violation of custodial interference.
Tempe investigators received information indicating that Elizabeth and Gabriel stayed at either or both the Home Gate Studio and Suites and Quality Inn Fiesta Park, both in San Antonio, on December 26. Elizabeth was scheduled to check out on December 27, however she did not go through the formal checkout process. Therefore, it is unknown if Elizabeth left San Antonio on December 26 or December 27.

Dec 27 – Tempe Police made contact with Tammi Smith due to an incident which occurred on Dec 9 when Gabriel was found to be in the care of the Smith’s. Tempe Police Patrol Officers and a Detective arrived at the Smith's residence located in Scottsdale, Arizona in order to confirm that Gabriel Johnson was not in their care. Tammi Smith was interviewed at the time. A consent to search the Smith's property was granted. It was learned that Gabriel was not on their property. It is important to note, Tammi Smith withheld information from the police concerning her full communication with Elizabeth which was via text messages and phone calls. Tammi initially did not tell the police about the following text message which she sent to Logan McQueary on
12/27/09.
Dec 27 – T.P.D. Sergeant L. Lenzen contacted Elizabeth via telephone. Elizabeth was instructed to make contact with Texas Law Enforcement in order to confirm that Gabriel was alive and safe. Elizabeth refused.

Tammi Smith was aware of the scheduled court appearance. It was later determined that Tammi Smith provided her with telephone numbers of people who could possibly assist her with legal advise regarding Elizabeth not attending the scheduled court date. This investigatigation discovered that the following information occurred while Elizabeth was in the State of Texas during the week of 12/21/09 to 12/27/09.
During the course of the investigation, I learned that Tammi researched and attempted to help Elizabeth change court jurisdiction regarding the custody hearing of Gabriel, although Tammi was aware of FC-2009-007470. Tammi stated she used her computer in order to find information on changing court jurisdiction. She then provided the information to Elizabeth. Tammi telephoned lawyers asking for legal advice regarding changing court jurisdiction. Tammi admitted to attempting to change court jurisdiction during a police interview.

We love Gabriel and You, and you are going to get yourself in a lot trouble if you don'...t come forward very, very soon. As we told you all this time, if you do the right thing, everything will work out for the good. I really mean that! The lead Detective on this case really feels for you and he wants to help you!!! You can call Detective Aguilera at XXXXXXX..He truly wants to help you! He is also a Negotiator and he said that what Logan and his dad did to you was very wrong and uncalled for. He said so far you aren't in any trouble because you were technically never served yet. But if you don't come forward soon, you could be in some serious trouble. Just call detective Aguilera, Please...

Thank you so much for letting me know that your both are OK! I miss that little angel! I knew that you could never hurt him. A mother has to really love her child enough to give him up to a good family in order to give him a more meaningfully life.

Tammi then suggests that Judge McVey grant the Smith's guardianship. The entire recording is approximately 2 minutes long.

When I asked Tammi further specific questions about the reporter, Tammi could not recall if the reporter actually told her to call Judge McVey.

http://www.tempe.gov/Police/EI/Gabriel%20Johnson%20Update.htmJan 12 - On 01/12/09, a media source stated that the name of "Craig Cherry" (who was later found by T.P.D. and discovered to be Tammi Smith's first generation cousin) was on a court petition for paternity regarding Gabriel Johnson. I telephoned Judge McVey who stated paternity was not protested by the mother. Logan McQueary was determined to be the father. Judge McVey assisted with providing the means in which T.P.D. could have a copy of all court documents regarding Gabriel Johnson (FC-2009-007470.
Jan 14 - On 01/14/09, I interviewed Tammi Smith while at the T.P.D. station. Tammi voluntarily provided a hand writing analysis. Tammi admitted that Elizabeth wrote down her cousin (Craig Cherry) on the paternity document. During a police interview, I presented Tammi with the court documents regarding paternity of Gabriel Johnson. Tammi then admitted to writing her cousin's (Craig Cherry) name on the court document regarding Craig as a possible father of Gabriel Johnson. Tammi read out loud the sentence which she wrote on the court document. The sentence included Craig's name. Craig Cherry was interviewed by the Tempe Police Department. It was learned through my investigation that he has never met Elizabeth Johnson.
Tammi Smith also admitted to asking a friend if she could use the friend's husband's name on the paternity paperwork for Gabriel Johnson. I later identified the friend. The identified witness stated on the day in which Tammi was traveling to the court house with Elizabeth, Tammi telephoned her. Tammi asked her friend if she could use her friend's husband's name on the paternity court document for Gabriel Johnson. The witness became angry with Tammi due to her request. Tammi told the witness that if she could use her friend's husband's name then it would create a problem for the father (Logan). The friend refused to allow Tammi to use her husband's name on the court form. The above listed court document was analyzed by D.P.S. Detective Alan Kreitl. According to Criminalist Kreitl's findings the court document (item #47) contained the handwriting of Tami Smith based on her sample (item #57). For complete details, please refer to D.P.S. report #2010-701760.
Tammi stated that Logan threatened her on 12/28/09 after a court hearing in Judge McVey's court room. The threat was allegedly made via telephone. Unknown to Tammi, Logan recorded the call. T.P.D. heard the call and no threat was made. Logan told Tammi to stop calling him. Logan hung up the phone line. Shortly after Jack Smith called Logan. Logan, once again disconnected the phone line. Tammi and Jack Smith have used the media to make many statements which later have been found to be inaccurate regarding their involvement in the investigation.
On 01/14/2010, after Tammi Smith participated in a police interview she was then interviewed by a reported from K.P.H.O. It is important to note that on 01/14/2010 Tammi did admit to writing her cousin's name on the paternity document concerning Gabriel Johhnson. Following the police interview, Tammi spoke to the media outside of the Tempe Police Station located at 120 E. 5th Street, Tempe. K.P.H.O. (Channel 5)
released a media story on 01/15/2010 in which Tammi acknowledged the forgery by saying "I made a poor decision back when I met Elizabeth." "Yes I helped her put another name." She then told the public to pray about it.

I know you didn't kill him, but the police don't know that. There just need to verify he's not dead or hurt and you can live the rest of your life, not having to hide anymore!!! All you have to do is take a long drive and see a cop on the side of the road in a city and give him the paper and ask him to call her to va...rify you two are safe. You don't need to tell him why....As one of the officers said, you are not in trouble, you have the right to take your own child. But it's like having a parking ticket and robbing the bank to pay your parking ticket. If you never paid that parking ticket, you wouldn't be in trouble...But if you do an armed robbery at the bank they will send out a Nationwide search for you like they will in a few days if you don't show that he is safe. But it needs to be verified through a police officer in order to stop it from going to the FBI.
OTHERWISE: They are starting a Homicide Investigation! What that means is: Right now (today), your not in trouble. Your one of millions of mothers that leaves the state to keep her child safe from the horrible father. It's NOT kidnapping! You have every right to take your own child. You can even look on Public Reco...rds, there is NO warrent out for you....BUT, because of what you said, if you don't do this in the next few days, it will turn into a Murder Investigation and Detective Ramirez can no longer help. The FBI will pick the case up and you will be seen on America's Most Wanted! Your face will be seen everywhere and nobody will want to help you because they will believe you are a murderer... You will be going on with your life and when you least expect it (someone you thought was your friend wanted a $25,000.00 reward, and quitely turned you in).
