Logan's Road trip

[jessicat]

I havn't been to Victoria but maybe once late last year. I do know there is a mall there..um I went to a bookstore barnes and noble I think. I know this isn't much help but..I don't kno if this helps...my stepson lives in a town called kenedy...from SA its about one hour and 15 minutes, from kenedy, victoria is about an hour away. Also I would have to double check but I know here in SA I-37 goes to Corpus and we turn off from there to go to Kenedy. But I think if u keep going there is a turn off to Victoria and I think possibly u could take I-35, not sure on that one.

I think Nuevo Laredo is a place to look at, but it is rife with crime and therefore very dangerous.

the place works mainly for CPS FWIW, They take in the children in the middle of the night, when no foster home or other placement can be found. They take them all times of the day actually. and I think they can stay there for quite awhile. emergency removals and such. I seen the newborns, sooo sad

It is pretty hard to find also. kind of tucked in off the beaten path, so to speak. Still worth checking out though.

Because of the ads in Nov and early Dec, I think Eliz - or Tammi - may have contacted some of the people listed.

If momtective doesn't get here in a bit I'm going to poke her to come take a look and see what she thinks. She's really good with this stuff.

Hi everyone. Logan posted on the FB group Bring Home Gabriel Johnson that he is looking for any tips or suggestions for his trip to San Antonio.
Sleuthers with any idea's, please post them.

One thing he might consider is doing an interview with one of the local Spanish TV stations. I have really been wondering why EJ took a Tornado bus instead of Greyhound to Florida. Tornado primarily serves Mexicans traveling to see family. Whoever arranged the whole thing was pretty slick to send her "under the radar" so to speak, since the obvious choice for most would have been to go to main bus station downtown. Elizabeth would have stuck out like a sore thumb at Tornado on the west side of town. There is a large percentage of people here that speak Spanish and might have seen or heard something.

Just saw on the news thread that LM has hired a PI?! I think this is great! I hope this person can help him find Gabriel.

I saw this on the news thread also and was so happy. Hopefully the PI will be a big help in discovering what happened, and finding Gabriel.

 

[BeanE]

The PI is Jay J Armes. What do we know about him?

 

[mommavi1181]

Is it this guy?

He has his own action figures, and hooks for hands. He is out of El Paso TX. I think there is a book about him too.

Wow, he seems like a character. I hope he is doing this for the publicity and not charging LM anything.

 

[mommavi1181]

Oh and here is more about him.

snipped

"He is currently the "Chief Investigator" for The Investigators, an El Paso-based detective agency, and lives on a fourteen acre estate in Texas, with assorted tigers and cheetahs, a chimp, a wife and a loving family. Supposedly he's been known to use his 750 pound tiger as a "lie detector." He tools around town in a specially rigged Hummer."

He sounds pretty good. Hopefully he can help find Gabriel!

Kidnapping Investigation – Since we were founded in 1958, The Investigators have worked on well over one hundred kidnapping cases from around the world. Because of our proven techniques, commitment to excellence, and vast experience in this specialized field, our success rate currently stands near 98%. For those familiar with this area, that is no small accomplishment. While many would attribute this success rate to some kind of mystical powers or special abilities, the fact of the matter is that with each and every kidnapping case that we have worked over the years, we have been able to gain crucial insight, experience and invaluable knowledge in how the kidnappers think, and operate. While there are in fact a few agencies who offer this type of service, based upon many hours of classroom training or experience in a handful of kidnapping cases over the course of their career. Nothing can substitute for our hands-on, real world experience in this unique and complex field.

I pray they can find Gabriel.

I wish he could bring his tiger for a visit with EJ.
