Boy’s blood in father’s apartment
Filings outline evidence found in jailed man’s Lynn apartment
Globe Staff / April 30, 2010
Authorities investigating the 2008 disappearance of Giovanni Gonzalez have discovered the boy’s blood throughout his father’s apartment in Lynn, on a red-handled knife, on a piece of wood flooring, on the bathroom threshold, and on the cap to a bottle of pine-scented cleaner.
The latest evidence, outlined in court documents in January, deepens the mystery about what happened to the boy, who would turn 7 tomorrow.

In East Boston, Giovanni’s mother, Daisy Colon, is holding out hope that her son is alive.
Colon discounted the discovery of Giovanni’s blood, saying the energetic boy often bled from cuts received while playing or riding his bicycle. The week before he visited his father, she said, he suffered a nosebleed.
She said she feared that investigators were giving up on the search for the boy.
“I feel like a lot of people have given up,’’ Colon said. “All the fliers that I put out, people have taken them down. You go to Lynn now, and you hardly see any of those fliers. It’s just frustrating.’’
