Bay Area Counties Help Increase Hasanni Campbell Reward to $60,000
9/3/2009 5:44:00 PM
<snipped>
Oakland police say the reward for missing 5-year-old boy Hasanni Campbell is increasing to $60,000 thanks to large contributions from Alameda and San Francisco counties.

Oakland police and Crime Stoppers initially offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of Hasanni.

But Oakland police said the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and San Francisco County are contributing another $25,000 each to the reward.

Hasanni's biological parents live in San Francisco and the city's Department of Human Services had been involved in supervising him by checking in with his foster parents periodically.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom said in a statement, "We hope this award will lead to information on the whereabouts of Hasanni Campbell. If you have any leads, please contact the Oakland Police Department."

Oakland Acting Police Chief Howard Jordan said in a statement, "This case has touched everyone in our community and across the region and with the increased reward money we are hoping to bring closure to this case. The Oakland Police Department wants to thank everyone who is involved in this generous effort."

Reward For Hasanni Campbell Is Increased To $60,000

The reward for missing 5-year-old boy Hasanni Campbell has been increased to $60,000 thanks to large contributions from Alameda and San Francisco counties, Oakland police said Thursday.

Oakland police and Crime Stoppers initially offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of Hasanni.

But Oakland police said the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and San Francisco County are contributing another $25,000 each to the reward.

Hasanni's biological parents live in San Francisco and the city's Department of Human Services had been involved in supervising him by checking in with his foster parents periodically.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom said in a statement, "We hope this award will lead to information on the whereabouts of Hasanni Campbell."

Newsom said, "If you have any leads, please contact the Oakland Police Department."

Oakland Acting Police Chief Howard Jordan said in a statement, "This case has touched everyone in our community and across the region and with the increased reward money we are hoping to bring closure to this case. The Oakland Police Department wants to thank everyone who is involved in this generous effort."

Last Friday, Oakland police said they consider Hasanni's disappearance to be a homicide case, not a missing persons case. They arrested Ross on suspicion of murder and Jennifer Campbell on suspicion of being an accomplice to murder.

But Ross and Campbell were released from custody earlier this week after the Alameda County District Attorney's Office said there's not enough evidence to charge them at this time.

Saturday Search Planned For Hasanni Campbell
Sep 4, 2009 5:12 pm US/Pacific

Civilian volunteers will search for missing 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell at Lake Elizabeth in Fremont this weekend, according to event organizers.

At 9 a.m. Saturday, civilian teams will search the perimeter of the lake while professional divers go out on the water, said San Leandro business owner Sherri Miller, who is organizing the search.

Miller said she hopes Saturday's search will provide new leads in the case. She and two colleagues came up with Lake Elizabeth because it's big, it's in Fremont and it hasn't been searched yet.

"It's a large area, and we have enough volunteers to search it," Miller said, adding that close to 100 people have signed up to help search the region.

"Lake Elizabeth is our meeting point, and we're branching off into teams tomorrow," Miller said. "We won't know until tomorrow where we're sending them."

Miller said San Jose Search and Rescue, a nonprofit that helps with missing person searches and other recovery operations, volunteered their entire team.

She said she also invited Alameda County law enforcement officials to participate, but the Fremont Police Department and the county sheriff's office declined.

Volunteers were preparing to search the waters and shoreline of Lake Elizabeth Saturday in an attempt to find any clues in the disappearance of 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell, who vanished from an Oakland street nearly a month ago.

Search organizer Sherri Miller asked volunteers to meet in the main parking lot at 9 a.m. She added that donations of food would also be appreciated.

Meanwhile, the reward in the Campbell case has been increased to $60,000 thanks to large contributions from Alameda and San Francisco counties.
