Forensic Psychiatrist: 'Baby Gabriel Likely Dead'
Dr. Steven Pitt: 'I Would Be Shocked If Gabriel Is Found Alive'

Dr. Steven Pitt does not utter those words easily. As a forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Pitt has not studied the evidence in the Gabriel Johnson case beyond media reports, but some aspects stand out to him.

"You're talking about worst case scenario, child is dead. Best case scenario, 'No, I didn't kill my child I gave it away.' Either one of those would indicate a seriously twisted individual," said Dr. Pitt.

"All of those things are certainly behavioral clues that something very unfortunate happened to this child," said Dr. Pitt.

Statistically, women only make up 15 percent of violent crimes committed in this country. But when you only look at parents who murder their children, women account for 50 percent.

Whether Elizabeth Johnson adds to that statistic remains to be seen, but Dr. Pitt believes it will ultimately be the physical evidence that brings the truth in this case.

San Antonio Police: It's not a homicide investigation
Jan. 28, 2010 10:07 PM

Police in San Antonio, Texas say they are moving "full steam ahead" in the search for Gabriel Johnson. The 8-month old was last seen in San Antonio on December, 26th, "We have some things in the planning stage and will undertake soon in our attempts to find baby Gabriel," said Chief William McManus.

12 News has learned the Smith's have hired high profile criminal attorney Mike Kimerer. The Smith's say they have been advised to keep quite from now on. When 12 News reached Jack Smith he would only say he and his wife thought it was time to hire an attorney.

The couple has expressed some concern that police may be trying to build a case against them. Police recently asked Logan McQueary, Gabriel's father to send them all text messages the Smith's sent him over the past month.

Missing Baby Gabriel's Father to Retrace Elizabeth Johnson's Route to Texas to Find Son
Feeling that Time is Running Short, Logan McQueary, Father of Baby Gabriel Johnson, Ready to Follow GPS-Route to Texas
January 29, 2010
<snipped>
With no help coming from the baby's mother, Elizabeth Johnson, and leads growing fewer, the search for missing Baby Gabriel has come down to searching San Antonio, Texas, landfills for the child's body and/or hoping that Elizabeth Johnson wasn't lying about giving the child away. In short, investigators have been hoping to catch a break in the case. Logan McQueary is going on a quest in search of catching that break for them.

Armed with the route that was recorded in the GPS system of Elizabeth Johnson's vehicle, Logan McQueary is going to retrace the trip Johnson took when she headed east with Baby Gabriel just before Christmas. He will stop where she stopped in the hope that someone along the way might have seen and/or remember hearing something said by his ex-girlfriend that might help in finding the 8-month-old missing child. He plans to retrace the entire route from Tempe, Arizona, to San Antonio, Texas.

So Logan McQueary is doing what he can, perhaps the only thing he can, to help find his missing son.

A section of an east-side landfill where police have been lately now has been staked off with indicators that show how deep to dig in an effort to find baby Gabriel Johnson's body.

Eyewitness News paid a visit to the Tessman Landfill on Thursday.

Both SAPD and the FBI are keeping tight-lipped about the investigation going on there.

But we've learned from the baby's father that there are at least three teams of detectives working on the search.

Police in Texas said Friday that investigators will move forward with excavating a section of a San Antonio landfill in the search for a missing 8-month-old Tempe boy.

Investigators are expected to begin searching sometime next week a portion of the Tessman Road Landfill that has already been cordoned off.

San Antonio police plan to search landfill for missing Tempe baby

"We have not opened a homicide case," said Chief Bill McManus. "We're still considering it a missing persons case. And we're meeting to determine how to proceed in the next couple days."

The chief said the case will take a major step forward next week by searching a San Antonio landfill. The chief called the landfill "a place of interest" in the baby Gabriel search.

His officers are still in the planning process, but they've cordoned off a section of the landfill, staked it out and figured out how deep they'll have to dig and prevented any more garbage from being dumped on the site.
