I just got back from visiting Rockridge--the area around Shuz. I took some pictures which I hope I'll be able to upload here.
As expected, there was bumper to bumper traffic going through on College Ave, and the street was crawling with people. Of course, it's Saturday, but this is always a busy area.
I was lucky to find a parking spot on Harwood almost directly across from the alley/parking lot where LR parked his car on Aug. 10.
Harwood itself is quiet and residential with beautiful, but not extravagant, older houses and big trees; I guess if someone grabbed Hasanni and ran up Harwood with him it might have been possible to do so without being seen, but my gut feeling is: it just didn't happen.
The alley/parking lot is not as long as it looks in the pictures online. I wanted to get closer to the door and archway and snap a photo but I was a little worried about trespassing or possibly that I could get in trouble for taking pictures. However, I can say that the archway has no door and appears to go to a backyard of the apartment building. The doorway next to it that is partly hidden looks like it might be a storage area and the door looks like it is broken or slightly ajar.
On the left hand wall of the alley are windows of a store between the empty corner store and the alley, so someone in there could have seen something if a person grabbed Hasanni.
The store on the corner of Harwood and College is empty and you can see through the windows from one street to the other--hopefully this is obvious in the picture.
I walked from the alley parking lot to Shuz and since I wasn't wearing a watch I just counted 1-2-3 etc, and figure it's probably less than a minute from the alley to the store--probably would take less time if I were younger, LOL.
I peered into the Shuz shop but I did not see Jennifer; there was a poster for Hasanni in the window.
My overall feeling is that he was not kidnapped. I could be wrong but after seeing the whole scene, I just don't think so. All the people I saw were upscale, yuppies or parents, no homeless or anyone looking "down on their luck" whatsoever--NOT that homeless or down on their luck people are miscreants, but you just don't find any of that element in this neighborhood. It's just a really nice area. Bad things can happen anywhere, of course, so I could be wrong, but I just don't see Hasanni being abducted here.

keep it up picture guru....and we'll send you to pick some parts next!!!!
:blowkiss:
Bumping your post Columbo!!! Some how I missed it....Thanks so much for the pictures & your description of the area. That was so very kind of you to post the pictures & to take the time on a busy Sat. there too! :blowkiss:
I just don't see how if LR didn't go into the store as he says.....wouldn't have seen anything or heard anything at all. I really believe something happened way before he got to the shoe store.....like right around the time he was at the junk yard or before. They said witnesses said a child was crying in the car, could they have really just heard the baby crying after being left in the car alone????

Kat Not O/T at all if you ask me & I bet most here feel the same as I do! :blowkiss:
Thanks so much for working so hard, on helping to find info on him for us & the astrologers too! It would give us more insight into who & what type of guy he really is/was too!
:angel:
shoreline.....looking for car parts......do you suppose it's possible that he used something off of the car to weigh this child down? Spare tire (would that sink?)....a jack stand....and then he went to salvage looking to replace what he used, fast?
Columbo, what do those steps in the back go to? It seems there are a lot of windows around. Apartments? It's a very visable area for no one to have seen/heard anything. Is there heavy foot traffic crossing the alley way?

Thanks Columbo!
It would be nice to hear from the residents to know if they thought they'd hear/see any sort of commotion. Or even if they'd happen to notice LR pulling in there and Hassani not getting out of the car.
I still also think it's important to know if any employees, business owners or shoppers remember LR and JC frantically searching for Hassani in the area. Would be a big key if they had not.
