Landfill cordons off area for search
January 27, 2010 - 4:16PM
<snipped>
At the request of San Antonio police, managers of a garbage landfill there have closed a section of it in case investigators want to begin searching that area for the remains of missing 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson of Tempe, whose mother said she killed him last month.

Phoenix-based Republic Services, which owns the Tessman Road Landfill in San Antonio, was contacted by San Antonio police about two weeks ago and asked to close off an area of the landfill that could be of interest to them, according to Peg Mulloy, a Republic Services spokeswoman.

Although authorities have not started searching the area of the landfill, police are &#8220;considering&#8221; a search of the site, according to a San Antonio police spokesman.

The Tessman Road Landfill is close to Interstate 10 and about a mile away from a motel where Johnson stayed in San Antonio where Gabriel was last seen on Dec. 26.

Republic Services no longer is accepting refuse in that area while police consider whether they will search it, Mulloy said.

&#8220;We have narrowed down a section of the landfill that would be of interest to San Antonio police,&#8221; Mulloy said. &#8220;We have cordoned it off, and we&#8217;re waiting to hear further from San Antonio police of what they plan to do next.&#8221;

The Tessman Road Landfill site covers about 1,000 acres, and 600 acres of that accommodates garbage brought in by trucks from various parts of the city, Mulloy said. She would not say how large the area is that was cordoned off or when the landfill stopped accepting trash for that area.

Tammi and Jack Smith, a Scottsdale couple who were trying to adopt Gabriel, remain persons of interest in the case because Tempe police believe they are withholding information that can lead them to the baby&#8217;s whereabouts.

Can Father's Love and GPS Find Missing Baby Gabriel Johnson?

More than a month after baby Gabriel Johnson disappeared in Texas, his father is taking matters into his own hands.

Now McQueary is planning to retrace Johnson's steps to find his missing son. He says he will try to recreate the GPS directions he believes Johnson followed from Tempe to San Antonio and plans to stop at hotels along the route searching for anyone who saw Johnson or his son.

Texas Police Tape Off Landfill in Missing Baby Case
McQueary plans San Antonio trek
1/28/10
<snipped>
Managers of a San Antonio landfill have blocked off an area that might be searched for the body of an Arizona baby who has been missing for about a month, but police said Wednesday that they weren't searching the site and didn't specify whether they planned to do so.

A portion of the Tessman Road Landfill was cordoned off in the last few weeks as part of the investigation into the disappearance of 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson of Tempe, Ariz., according to Peg Mulloy, spokeswoman for landfill owner Phoenix-based Republic Services.

She added that the cordoned-off area was larger than a convenience-store parking lot.

"We're able to say trash from this particular neighborhood on this particular date is probably in this area (of the landfill)," she said. "We stopped placing waste in an area they may want to search, and we're waiting for them to tell us what they would like to do."

San Antonio police spokeswoman Sandy Gutierrez said she could not say whether investigators were planning to search the site, citing the integrity of the investigation.

"The information is coming in much slower, and the indicators that were once there are getting less and less to the point of becoming nonexistent," Tempe police Sgt. Steve Carbajal said. "At this point, we're looking seriously into the possibility that she killed Gabriel like she said she did."

Meanwhile, a Scottsdale couple who wanted to adopt Gabriel remains "persons of interest" in the case. Johnson gave Jack and Tammi Smith temporary guardianship over Gabriel for about 10 days in December before she picked him up and left Arizona.

The Smiths said they've been nothing but cooperative and want Gabriel to be found alive.

"We're sitting here still considered persons of interest but yet we've done absolutely everything they asked us to do," Jack Smith told The Associated Press. "If there's anything left for them to do, we don't understand what they're waiting for."

Tempe Police Requesting Public&#8217;s Assistance in Locating Infant
Last Updated: 01-10-2010
<snipped>
On Sunday, December 27, 2009 at 1:05 p.m., Logan McQueary reported to Tempe Police Officers that he had received threats toward his son, 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson, from the mother of the child, Elizabeth Johnson.

Logan informed officers that a custodial hearing was scheduled for the afternoon of Monday, December 28 at Maricopa County Superior Court &#8211; 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.

On Wednesday December 30, 2009 at approximately 10:00 PM (Eastern Time), Elizabeth Johnson was located by Police Officers with the Miami Beach, Fl Police Department. Elizabeth was placed under arrest for the outstanding custodial interference warrant. Gabriel was not with Elizabeth when she was taken into custody.

Elizabeth has exercised her right to speak with an attorney in this matter, and has not provided investigators with information about Gabriel&#8217;s condition or current location. There have been no signs of Gabriel after December 26, 2009.

On January 5, 2010 at approximately 4:40 PM (Arizona Time) the white 1995 Oldsmobile being driven by Elizabeth Johnson was located in San Antonio, TX.

Gabriel was not in the vehicle and his current whereabouts are still unknown. The vehicle was located at a Motel 6 across from a Tornado Bus Station off Interstate 35 by an FBI Agent. The vehicle is currently being processed for evidence.

Elizabeth Johnson is age 23, 5&#8217;6&#8221; tall, and approximately 135 lbs., with blond hair and blue eyes. Photos of Elizabeth, the vehicle, and the child Gabriel are attached.

On January 7, 2010, The Tempe Police Department identified Tammi and Jack Smith of Scottsdale AZ as persons of interest in this investigation. Tempe Police Investigators have indications that they have not shared information with investigators that may lead us to Gabriel Johnson.

On January 9, 2010, Elizabeth Johnson was booked into Tempe City Jail after being extradited from Florida.

Elizabeth now faces charges of Kidnapping (a class two felony), Child Abuse (a class four felony), and Custodial Interference (a class four felony). After being processed, Elizabeth was transported and booked into Maricopa County Jail and is being held on a cash only bond of $1,100,000.00.

The Tempe Police Department appreciates the media disseminating this information out to the public. Anyone with additional information as to the whereabouts of Gabriel Johnson is urged to contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at the 24 hour tip line. That number is 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678)

Joe Arpaio Sticks Up for Missing Baby Gabriel's Jailed Mom
Thu., Jan. 28 2010 @ 8:27AM
<snipped>
While the public seems to view Elizabeth Johnson, mother of missing 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson, as a couple of horns short of being the devil, Sherriff Joe Arpaio says she's been a little angel while in his custody.

"She's been quiet, cooperative, not a problem in our jail. Maybe she's got a dual personality," Arpaio tells KPHO.

Johnson's case has created a bit of a media circus, so Maricopa County's camera-hound of a sherriff has got to be happy to have her around.

Arpaio says Johnson is in isolation, where she is allowed out of her cage for one hour a day to shower.

"She hasn't been causing any problems," Arpaio says.

Here's one tidbit that could be considered a problem: her eight-month-old son is still missing, and she's done nothing to help anyone find him.

Landfill may help solve missing baby case
Published: Jan. 28, 2010 at 2:36 PM
<snipped>
The San Antonio Express-News said Wednesday a portion of the Tessman Road Landfill was cordoned off nearly two weeks ago, but police would not confirm if the site will be searched for clues in the disappearance of 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson.

Republic Services Inc. spokeswoman Peg Mulloy, whose company owns the San Antonio landfill, confirmed no garbage is being placed in the targeted section of the landfill.

"With the information (police) gave us, we located an area that may be of interest," Mulloy said. "It's a highly engineered facility, and we can locate where in the landfill items might be placed."

San Antonio police spokeswoman Sandy Gutierrez said authorities are open to any information regarding the child's whereabouts.

"We're always looking for helpful information we can utilize in the course of an investigation," Gutierrez said. "We welcome it."

Baby Gabriel's Mother, Elizabeth Johnson, Has Dual Personality?
Elizabeth Johnson May Suffer from a Mental Disorder but that Isn't Helping to Find Baby Gabriel
January 28, 2010
<snipped>
Dual personalities -- or multiple personalities (disassociative identity disorder) -- might explain some of Elizabeth Johnson's erratic behavior or perhaps all of it. It could explain why she is seen as cooperative in the Estrella Jail and why she would send a vicious text message to her ex-boyfriend from San Antonio: "You will never see Gabriel again. This is what liars like you deserve." Having distinct personalities or identities could explain the diverse behaviors, but multiple personalities are extremely rare.

Of course, Elizabeth Johnson could be more suited to the borderline personality disorder type, which is characterized by volatility of self-image, goals, and internal preferences, where the subject endures chronic feelings of emotional emptiness and engages in intense, unstable interpersonal relationships and self-destructive behavior. She has certainly exhibited the unstable relationships and self-destructive aspects of the disorder.

Still, she might suffer from a bipolar disorder, where she would exhibit a manic state followed by a depressed state. This could explain her sudden irrational actions followed by periods of seemingly normal behavior or low periods, like when she was found crying in an airport and enlisted the help of Jack and Tammi Smith, hoping to get these total strangers to adopt Baby Gabriel (plans which ultimately fell through).

Elizabeth Johnson also seems to suffer from narcissistic tendencies, an extreme self-loathing where a person's actions are ultimately detrimental to themselves. Her use of the child as leverage indicates an objectification, a tendency to see Baby Gabriel as a means to a desired end.

It is difficult to truly say whether or not the 23-year-old mother actually suffers from any or none of these disorders, but if Baby Gabriel is never found, it is certain that post-partem depression will be used or at least considered as a defense, as will various other mental disorders, including one or several of the aforementioned.

One thing seems certain: Elizabeth Johnson will have to undergo psychiatric examination.

But somewhere in all this, Gabriel Johnson went missing due to the actions of his mother, regardless of her mental state. Unfortunately for Elizabeth Johnson, her future may not hinge on whether or not they find the child or the child's body. Her reticence may soon begin to hurt her case.

Does Elizabeth Johnson suffer from some form of disassociative identity disorder or some other mental disorder that could explain her behavior? Did she murder her own child, or did she really effect a transfer of the baby to an anonymous couple in a park in San Antonio. Can her state of mind be determined in either set of circumstances?

Does it really matter?

It could to a jury.

Forensic Psychiatrist: 'Baby Gabriel Likely Dead'
Dr. Steven Pitt: 'I Would Be Shocked If Gabriel Is Found Alive'
POSTED: 10:12 pm MST January 28, 2010
UPDATED: 10:57 pm MST January 28, 2010
<snipped>
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.

That recanted confession, in itself, doesn't mean Gabriel is dead. As the doctor explained, prisons are filled with people in extreme denial. But he lists the other warning signs: the amount of time Gabriel has been missing; the potential search of a Texas landfill; and the fact that the mother remains uncooperative in jail.

"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.

UPDATED: Baby Gabriel Johnson investigation
Jan. 28, 2010 10:07 PM
<snipped>
While the owners of a landfill in San Antonio have been contacted police say they have no immediate plans to search the area. As of now they are focused on finding the baby, "If we believe the baby was dead we would open a homicide investigation, now that is not the case," said McManus. Police would not elaborate on what sort of plan they have been working on.

While the investigation in San Antonio appears to be ramping up investigators in Tempe say almost all leads have dried up. The focus now shifting more to the case against Elizabeth Johnson. Gabriel's mother has been charged with four felonies including kidnapping. Police also believe Johnson has help and continue to look at Jack and Tammi Smith. The North Valley couple had hoped to adopt Gabriel at one point.

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.

SA Police Chief Bill McManus hopeful Baby Gabriel still alive
1/29/10 Last Update: 10:07 am
<snipped>
"If we had reason to believe that the baby was dead, then we would open up a homicide case," Chief McManus told News 4 WOAI. "But right now, that's not the case, and the Baby Gabriel case remains a missing person case.

Leila asked if that meant there are indications Gabriel is still alive.

"We are hoping that he is still alive," responded McManus.

"We have been in the planning stages as to what our next move is going to be," explained Chief McManus. "And we're nearly through with those discussions, and we'll be ready to move on that decision within the next few days."

Workers at an East Side landfill have cordoned off an area there where police may search for Gabriel. Trucks are no longer dumping trash there.

"The landfill is the place of interest for us right now," Chief McManus told News 4 WOAI. "And again, we are in the planning stages, the discussion stages of what we might also do out at the landfill."

For now, Chief McManus says it is an active missing person investigation, and officers are moving full speed ahead to find Gaby Gabriel.

&#8220;We're not prepared to talk about that (the case) right now. Next week we will be. But right now we're in meetings to determine how we're going to proceed with this,&#8221; said Chief William McManus of the San Antonio Police Department.

Investigators are considering a search of San Antonio landfill. Managers of the Tessman Road landfill have cordoned off an area they refer to as &#8220;of interest to police.&#8221; But when and if a search begins in not yet known.

&#8220;I'm not going to comment on that right now because the plans are not completed,&#8221; said McManus.

Law enforcement officials in San Antonio have been extremely tight-lipped about the case. The FBI has been involved from the start in assisting the investigation that for the time being remains a missing person&#8217;s case. &#8220;We have not opened a homicide case we are still considering it as a missing person case,&#8221; said McManus.

Last Update: 5:41 pm

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.

Meantime, Tempe detectives say they are holding out hope that Gabriel is still alive and won't discuss details of the ongoing investigation.

"Signs that Gabriel is alive are dwindling, that's why we need more tips to come in," said Tempe Sergeant Steve Carbajal.

Landfill search for missing baby to begin
January 29, 2010 - 4:56PM
<snipped>
San Antonio police Chief Bill McManus announced the plans on Friday for investigators to begin excavating the Tessman Road Landfill sometime next week, according to Sandy Gutierrez, a department police spokeswoman.

&#8220;The chief confirmed and conveyed that an excavation and search will move forward at the Tessman Road Landfill, and more information on how that search and how that process will be conducted will all unfold next week,&#8221; Gutierrez said.

Gutierrez said that either information or evidence obtained through the course of the investigation was obtained to make the decision to move forward with the excavation. However, Gutierrez would not be specific.

&#8220;We have been at the landfill on and off for about a week,&#8221; Gutierrez said.

Earlier this week, managers of the landfill had cordoned off a section of it about two weeks ago that was &#8220;an area of interest&#8221; to police, a landfill spokeswoman told the Tribune.

Jack and Tammi Smith, a Scottsdale couple who was interested in adopting Gabriel, remain persons of interest in the case because police believe the Smiths are withholding evidence that could lead them to the whereabouts of the boy.
