Search Currently Underway for Ray Gagnon’s Safe

"Erik Vasys, spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio, Texas, says agents are currently searching a landfill in San Antonio, in hopes of finding a safe that belongs to Ray Gagnon, the former stepfather of Brooke Bennett, the Vermont girl found dead in Randolph, last week."
 
Another more thorough article on the search of the landfill:

Federal authorities search San Antonio landfill for evidence in case against Vermont kidnapping, slaying

"Erik Vasys, a spokesman for the San Antonio division of the FBI, said investigators have searched over the last week for the safe, which apparently was the hideaway of a harddrive belonging to local resident Raymond Gagnon ..."

"Vasys declined to say how many agents are at the landfill or for how long they have searched the Allied Waste Services Tessman Landfill, at 7000 IH-10 East, between FM 1516 and Foster Road. He did, however, say that today is not the first day that investigators have scoured through the trash, everything from bulky household items to brush.

"(We) continue to assist the FBI in Albany and the Vermont State Police in the investigation into the kidnapping and murder," of Brooke, Vasys said. "The focus of our assistance is the recovery of hard drives related to the investigation.""
 
Federal authorities search dump for Gagnon's laptop
July 12, 2008

MONTPELIER — Federal authorities in Texas searched a landfill this week where they believe a laptop or hard drive containing evidence related to Brooke Bennett's disappearance and death last month may be located.

That San Antonio landfill may be the dumping site for trash from a local apartment rented by Raymond Gagnon, Bennett's former stepfather who is facing charges in Alabama for possession of child *advertiser censored*.

~snip~

"We are working to locate a hard drive or laptop computer that was disposed of at the instruction of Mr. Gagnon," Vasys said early Friday afternoon. "Based on information we have received, this landfill is the dumping site for trash from his apartment."

Gagnon's alleged role in Bennett's disappearance and death is not clear.

PRESS RELEASE
ARREST OF RAY A. GAGNON
FOR AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT

July 1st, 2008

Contact: Sgt. Tara Thomas, Vermont State Police Public Information Officer (802-234-9933)

The Vermont State Police have arrested Ray A. Gagnon (age 40) of San Antonio, Texas for Aggravated Sexual Assault on a minor. This arrest is in connection with the aggravated sexual assault arrest of Michael Jacques. Jacques was arrested on Sunday June 29th, 2008. This arrest is a result of the on-going investigation into the disappearance of Brooke Bennett.

The arrest of Gagnon is not the result of Gagnon sexually assaulting Brooke Bennett, this arrest is a result of Gagnon sexually assaulting another minor in the Royalton, Vermont area during the summer of 2007. The details that lead to Gagnon’s arrest were uncovered by investigators assigned to investigate the disappearance of Brooke Bennett.

Gagnon was lodged at the Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield, Vermont for lack of $250,000 bail. Gagnon is scheduled to appear in Windsor County District Court in White River Junction, Vermont today (July 1, 2008) at 1:00 PM to answer to the charge of Aggravated Sexual Assault, a violation of Title 13 V.S.A. 3252(c).

The crime of Aggravated Sexual Assault carries a sentence of ten years-to-life in prison and a fine of $50,000.

No mug shot of Gagnon is available at this time.
