Editorial: Keep going with Hassani Campbell's investigation
Posted: 02/05/2010 12:01:00 AM PST
<snipped>
WE NOW approach six months since 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell vanished without a trace. The Fremont boy has not been seen since Aug. 8.
Yet there are a number of things about the case that have never added up. No one has reported seeing the child in the busy commercial area. Police dogs taken to the scene found no trace of Hasanni's scent anywhere near the parking lot. Then, there has been the highly unusual behavior of the foster parents. They quickly disappeared from public view. They have made no public pleas in months for the child's safe return. They have invoked their right not to talk to the police and have made no efforts to keep Hasanni's disappearance in the media.
They have not helped the volunteers — complete strangers who have kept the search for the child alive. In fact, volunteers say that when they tried to post missing fliers near the foster parents' Fremont home, Ross ordered them to get out.
Now, it appears that the foster parents have packed up and left their Fremont house. Ross is reportedly in Arizona. The whereabouts of Campbell and the couple's newborn daughter are unknown. That Hasanni's foster parents have moved away does not mean they are guilty of a crime. But their overall behavior has been, in our view, a bizarre way of demonstrating concern for their missing foster child.
It's pretty clear that whatever police uncover will be without the help of Hasanni's foster parents. After his arrest, a defiant Ross told reporters, "As long as I have breath in my body, we will search for Hasanni."
Last we heard, Ross was still breathing. Why has he skipped town rather than help the police and volunteers find his son? It is imperative that police keep the Hasanni investigation on the front burner until this child is found.

**GPS helps police capture, clear suspects**
Sunday, January 24, 2010
<snipped>
As more and more Bay Area convicts are tracked with GPS anklets, the new stream of information is cropping up in high-profile crime investigations.
In many cases, information from Global Positioning Systems has ruled out suspects. That was the case in the disappearance of 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell, whose foster father reported him missing in August in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood.
Parole agents ran a simple search before telling police that none of the parolee sex offenders they were tracking had been near the area at the time.
The search also ruled out the same pool of sex offenders in a series of attacks near UC Berkeley in which a man tried to touch women after lifting their skirts.
Both cases remain unsolved, and Hasanni is still missing.

Rally set 6 months after Oakland boy disappeared
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
<snipped>
After initially attending vigils and publicizing the search for Hasanni, Ross and Campbell are no longer working with volunteers, said Sherri-Lyn Miller, who is organizing a Feb. 10 rally for the boy in front of Oakland police headquarters.
Ross and Campbell split up after the birth of their daughter in November and have moved out of the Fremont home they shared, Miller said.
It's unclear where Ross and Campbell are living now. Ross could not be reached for comment Wednesday and a call placed to Campbell's mother was not immediately returned.
Miller said she's stunned that Campbell, who is Hasanni's biological aunt, is not working more closely with volunteers.
"(Campbell) had a pass while she was pregnant, but an innocent person would help look for, not run from him," she said.
Another volunteer, Celina Carleton, said she hopes next week's rally will inspire more people to join the search for the little boy. "We haven't given up hope," Carleton said. "We are going to find Hasanni."

Posted: 02/05/2010 12:01:00 AM PST
<snipped>
WE NOW approach six months since 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell vanished without a trace.
The Fremont boy has not been seen since Aug. 8, when his foster father, Louis Ross, reported to Oakland Police that the child had disappeared from a Rockridge shoe store parking lot. Ross said he had left Hasanni, who suffers from cerebral palsy, alone briefly. That he ducked around to the front of the store to tell Jennifer Campbell, Hasanni's foster mother and biological aunt, that he was dropping the boy and his 1-year-old sister off with her. Ross says that when he returned, Hasanni was gone.
Yet there are a number of things about the case that have never added up.
No one has reported seeing the child in the busy commercial area. Police dogs taken to the scene found no trace of Hasanni's scent anywhere near the parking lot.

Vigil Marks Six Months Since Hasanni Campbell Disappeared
Posted: 10:58 pm PST February 10, 2010
Updated: 12:12 am PST February 11, 2010
<snipped>
A candlelight vigil on Wednesday night marked the six months that have passed since Hasanni Campbell was reported missing by his foster father.
About two dozen people gathered to sing songs about their determination to find Hasanni. Though the group was small, it was passionate. "There's a lot of unanswered questions," said Celina Carleton. "There's definitely a lot of frustration."
Angry but resolute, volunteers who participated in the search for the little boy urged anyone with information to contact police.
Courtney Tascoe-Burris helped organize the vigil. "This is ground zero for the investigation," said Tascoe-Burris. "This is where we're going to be able to solve this case and bring Hasanni back home."
Hasanni's foster parents have moved and did not attend the vigil.
But organizers warmly greeted Hasanni's grandmother, Pamela Clark when she arrived. "I think it's great to have people out here supporting my missing grandson," Clark said.
Oakland's new police chief met with Hasanni's grandmother and the volunteers.
"There are some leads we're following up on," said Chief Anthony Batts. "We've had conversations with the DA. and the DA has us looking at other things. We will continue to further that investigation,"
While the chief declined to say whether the couple are still considered suspects, a source has told KTVU the two remain the focus of the police investigation. Others said Ross and Campbell have ended their relationship.
They said Ross has moved to Arizona and Campbell to Los Angeles with the couple's newborn daughter.
Ramona Tascoe asked police to make the Hasanni Campbell case a top priority. "There is no child that should be left behind, particularly a foster child," said Tascoe.
"Somebody knows something. Somebody saw something," said Courtney Tascoe-Burris. Volunteers vow to continue their search for Hasanni Campbell until they find an answer.

Fundraiser Saturday will go to continue search for Hasanni Campbell
Posted: 04/09/2010 12:44:17 PM PDT
Updated: 04/09/2010 01:02:53 PM PDT

A small group of people who are still organizing searches and vigils for missing Hasanni Campbell are holding a rummage sale Saturday in Rockridge.
Sherri-Lyn Miller with the Citizens for the Lost Society, or CFLS, said the sale will include, art work, antiques, televisions, clothes, children's toys and household wares. It will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the College Avenue Presbyterian Church, 5951 College Ave., in Oakland.
Many searches in Oakland, Berkeley and Fremont have been held, as have monthly vigils on the 10th of each month since the boy went missing. This month, Miller said they wanted to do something different — the rummage sale — to hopefully raise money to continue the searches. The group also will hold a barbecue and release 243 balloons — one for each day the boy has been missing — at 4:15 p.m. Any one who wants to sign a balloon can do so between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday, Miller said.
Also, if you want to donate items to the sale, you must take them to the church before 9 a.m. Saturday. Miller said Hasanni's grandmother will be at the sale along with many community supporters and longtime volunteers of the Hasanni Campbell Search Team and CFLS, which recently qualified as a nonprofit organization. It is not likely Ross or Campbell will be there. The pair were jailed on suspicion of murder for a few days after the boy's disappearance, but were released when Alameda County prosecutors declined to file charges. Campbell and Ross have not returned repeated requests for comment over the last five months. They are believed to have left the area.

Holding Out Hope for Hasanni
Rummage sale held to help continue searches for missing Fremont boy
Updated 2:00 PM PDT, Sat, Apr 10, 2010
<snipped>
It’s been eight months since he disappeared and even though few clues have surfaced in the case of Hasanni Campbell, there’s still hope he will be found.
Members of the group Citizens for the Lost Society have never given up the search for Hasanni. The small group gathered at an Oakland church Saturday to hold a rummage sale to help raise money to continue the searches for the boy, who would be 6 now. The group formed as a direct result of Hasanni's disappearance but aims to raise awareness and financial support for all missing kids and adults.
The sale runs all day at the College Avenue Presbyterian Church in the city’s Rockridge neighborhood. It’s in the same area where Hasanni was last seen. The supporters will also release 243 balloons – one for each day Hasanni has been missing.
The same group has held monthly vigils since the boy vanished but this month, they wanted to do more to help continue the search.

Search for Hassani Campbell Continues
Sunday, 11 April 2010 8:52AM
<snipped>
Ross told investigators that he left Hasanni inside his car to run an errand only to return and find the boy gone. That touched off a massive search for the boy. San Leandro resident Sherry Lynn Miller volunteered to help then and is still out there today.
She has since formed a non-profit group to help streamline search efforts. This weekend, Miller and several volunteers hosted a fund-raiser at the Presbyterian church on College Avenue, complete with pictures of Hasanni tacked up everywhere. "People don't remember until we do something big to let them know,'Hey, this child is still missing,'" Miller said.
Investigators never really bought the foster father's story, and Ross, and the boy's foster mother, Jennifer Campbell, were briefly jailed in the case, but were let go due to a lack of evidence. Both have since moved out of the area.
Police officer Jeff Thomason says despite that the case is very active. He says that investigator is currently re-interviewing witnesses and going over old clues. Hopefully, in the near future, says Thomason, the department will be able to bring closure to this case.
