FBI Serves Search Warrant on Home of Relative of Missing California Girl's Neighbor
Friday, April 03, 2009

The FBI searched the Oakdale, Calif., home of a man related to the neighbor of a missing 8-year-old girl.

The relative, Chris Sinclair, has been a focus of the investigation into the disappearance of Sandra Cantu a week ago. Three vehicles connected to him already have been seized.

Feds served a search warrant on his Oakdale residence on Thursday.

If the vehicles haven't been returned tells me they found evidence connecting Sinclair to Sandra's disappearance, imo.

It's no wonder he was uncooperative. What is he hiding and why?:mad:

I'm heading out to some of truck stops here. They are great at putting up the flyers and will leave a stack for the drivers to take and spread the word. She may be out of the Tracy area. Worth a try.

I'm curious about the Hello Kitty shirt that was found in a search of the trailer park, in Paddy's posted article.

Where was this shirt found? If it was found in a trailer where a little girl lives, it's nothing.

If it was found on the ground, in a trash bin, in a home where no little girls live, I think they should get several people to look at it and determine that it isn't hers. Sometimes when a loved one goes missing, family members say and believe things that turn out not to be true and they throw off the progressing investigation -

One other REMOTE possibility is that there is another little girl in the neighborhood that owned a Hello Kitty t-shirt and upon her mother or father hearing that there may be a creepo in the neighborhood stalking little girls wearing such a shirt, they threw the shirt away.

Remote, but may have happened

It was found in a dumpster but you make a good point.

question I read a comment Sandra just had a b-day a few weeks ago so she just turned 8 omg no way did this child run away I never thought that anyway..but there is a comment from a parent who's child was at her party a few weeks ago on this just scroll down to the bottom to read comments.

http://www.kcra.com/news/19085108/detail.html

reward for information on the 8-year-old's whereabouts increased to $22,125.

I too was always overprotective (or enough protective, so far) of my children. But posts like these just serve to hurt the parents at this point. A friend of mine's teenager was just murdered this week; the perpetrator told LE where the body was yesterday, after a week of him missing. These posts by perfect people are not comforting to the family.

Sorry, this is not actually directed toward you. I was just very hurt by some of the posts in local news this week with people's opinions. He had a terrific family, and all things are not always in our control.

Note: this is in reference to the woman posting in the news article

Daniel Cantu, the father of a missing 8-year-old who's the subject of a massive search, said today that he passed a polygraph test that probed whether he had a role in her disappearance

I don't think he did anything he had not seen her for a year is what I have heard first it was never in her life then 6 then 2 now 1 still feel he would have high tailed it out of there ASAP if he did anything jmo

I am not sure if he was told he passed or not in a lot of cases they never tell them one way or another as soon as they take them. so until LE says he passed I wont go by what anyone says...

Thanks for the link happy

OK HAVE ARRESTED A MAN RIGHT NOW...

[aproudmom]

KRON said they arrested a man does anyone have a link not either one of the 2 we have talked about it is a 44 yr old guy seen in pictures at vigil...took him into custody but have not seen them arrive at Police station..they will not release name yet but should have something soon from KRON...

listening to HLN RIGHT NOW...anyone got info

[5boxersmom]

Presser on hln now.

[emdragon]

listening to HLN RIGHT NOW...anyone got info

HLN has it as breaking news.. They are raiding a mobile home in the park, took a man away in cuffs (that man was not either of the two in question) FBI evidence team at the home with a tow truck.

Presser now- served search warrant, brought man voluntarily to the station because he had no transportation but

No One has been arrested

[Riverwalk!]

Lt. Jeremy Watley (sp) said no one arrested and no one in handcuffs. A person was taken to police station for questioning because the man needed a ride. Easier/better to ? someone at the police station.

Executing a search warrant at the MH park. PER HLN presser.

MOO

[threesnugbugs]

A search warrant means they have something at least.

[Pinetree]

Dang CNN.....there is a BIG difference between a "raid" and a "search" isn't there? So, which is it?

[aproudmom]

Thanks everyone for the links I am going to check them out sorry if I am getting overwhelmed so many kids are going missing these days I am so happy I have a 19 and 13 yr old I would be scared to death if I had small children or grandchildren I am so protective of my boys and always have been actually they still get mad say I worry to much No I want to keep my kids safe...

This case is really getting to me in part because the SP for the Tracy PD thank god the FBI is on this also. I hate saying anything about LE but as Marc Klass said 11 hours before anyone knew about this little girl was reported and it has been 15 yrs since Polly K and not wanting to report to all LE and media they had the man that killed his daughter with in a hour of Polly being taken LE had no idea about a missing child so they pulled him out of a ditch and let him go on his way so we will never know if Polly was alive or could have been saved it is time for parents to do what they can I would be screaming to all the media or anyone that could help me I don't care what the Amber Alert and other tools go by if it were my child forget that crap scream out to all who will listen..We bring our kids into this world we owe it to them to protect them to the fullest...JMO

This SP was saying at the same time FBI was talking to Sandra's father that they thought he was in Mexico:thumbdown:what a joke this is not a learning experience it is a Child's life

Just so you all know I am from a family of LE so I do not bash unless I feel they are not doing everything they should such as taking 24 hours at least to check out every SO within a 5 mile radius:thumbdown:most children who are kidnapped are dead with in 3 hours. that is the stats.:sad:

I know this family is hurting so bad but for one these days we can not allow kids to walk the streets alone they can not go door to door asking for chores to make money from people such as the one that kissed her on the mouth 2yrs ago. We also have to watch people who we think are OK just because they live in our neighborhood we do not know what they do behind closed doors or if they are SO who have failed to reg. they are everywhere be sure and have alerts sent to your email when one moves or works close to you. I do below is just one of many I use.

Another home searched; man talks to police
Friday, 03 April 2009

A 44-year-old mobile home resident agreed to go with police while they searched his home today.

Debra and David Slayter attended a candlelight vigil earlier this week at the mobile home park. Glenn Moore/Tracy Press Police this afternoon drove off with David Slayter, 44, after searching his home at space No. 43 in the mobile home park where an 8-year-old Tracy girl went missing exactly a week ago.

FBI agents and Tracy detectives pulled items from Slayter's home in the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park and packed them into a white crime-scene truck. A caravan of at least seven trucks and detectives’ cars pulled into the neighborhood shortly before 2 p.m. today.

FBI Evidence Response Team members arrive at the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park as a search warrant is served for one of the residents homes. Glenn Moore/Tracy PressSlayter voluntarily got in a police about 15 minutes after investigators arrived, said Tracy police spokesman Lt. Jeremy Watney, but police declined to disclose where they went to talk.

Slayter was identified through a newspaper photograph that shows him and his wife, Debra, in front of their home, and another photo of the couple at a candlelight vigil.

Slayter’s name also comes up in an Internet search with an inactive Web site called www.moneymansvault.com, which indicates he lives at 812 W. Clover Road, No. 43, in Tracy.

Very long article, please read more at link:http://tracypress.com/content/view/17706/2268/

I still dont get it what sent them to his home? I saw comments on the above link about they should have never alerted people they were searching trash??I can not see them taking him in for telling her the below there has to be more.:confused:anyone know what this inactive website is all about?

I told her (Sandra), you’ve go to be careful with some adults,” he told a Record reporter Monday

[happy2bme]

Thank you Coldwater for giving Sandra her own link.

Please let this child be found, safe.

I don't want to see another innocent child be harmed.

[n/t]

Well colour me confused. How many more will they bring in for questioning? Why are all these people under suspicion? Suspicious enough to get search warrants to search their homes and cars. What the heck is going on over there?


Yes, thank CW for giving Sandra her own forum. I hope she's found soon. It's not looking good for this little girl. :sad:

ITA
She got her own??I was hoping CW would

[aproudmom]

What grown man in his right mind goes around kissing little 6 y/o girls on the mouth? Bet the parents of the children he teaches Martial Arts to :scared: were shocked to hear that one! As a parent of one of his students, I would be sitting my child down and asking some questions.

My mother-in-law saw him march over, sweep her hair off her face and give her a kiss on the lips,”

That was posted about the kiss that day and how it happened and as far as the parents of his students a lot are saying they do not think he did anything he was there that night (the night she went missing)OK guess that is why they did not want to be seen on camera either...jmo
I wonder what his hours are anyone know? she was last seen on camera around 5 right? so when does his class start bet the LE an FBI has checked that out. hope so anyway..jmo
seems like a lot of homes and cars being taken off from that park I know the SIL of one of the men was upset because her family is being talked about but they got to make sure they leave no stone unturned or they are letting her down it has to do with Sandra a child if you don't have anything to hide why be upset about being searched and talked to..I still can not figure out this last search warrant though..anyone else??:confused:

[aproudmom]

Dang CNN.....there is a BIG difference between a "raid" and a "search" isn't there? So, which is it?

blame that one of KRON4 actually they were the first to report that then had to come on HLN that they thought he was handcuffed. not so sure if this SP for LE knows what is going on to tell you the truth. Thank goodness the FBI has been on this case also.JMO

[aproudmom]

http://www.deltakajukenbo.com/Default.aspx

Pretty much looks as if these are his hours just don't know if he is the only teacher but I am sure he has been looked into and they know were he was and when if he was teaching these classes. I am not so sure he had anything to do with it other than the creepy kiss 2 yrs ago I sure hope cause he has a lot of kids in his class and several little girls...All is JMO he has not been found guilty of anything just called a POI early on by LE.

[emdragon]

Not just you...it's confusing as to why she's sure it's not the same. I'm sure there are a few pink Hello Kitty shirts made, but what on earth are the chances would one turn up in the garbage from the mobile home park the same week Sandra went missing from the very same place?

P.S. Thanks for the Baja map, Adalena. It illustrates how close Mexicali really is to the border - Merical, you were right, you just picked the wrong side!

Hello Kitty isn't just one image- the shirt found may have had a different picture than the one she was wearing.

[aproudmom]

Rachel I believe I read in one of the links that it was found in the city dump/landfill. Now if it was determined to have come from an area where the mobile home residents trash was dumped; that I do not know. I don't think it said. Just that it was found in the city dump.

As someone else said there are so many dif images on hello kitty shirts and many of them are pink but it doesn't mean it was exactly like the one the missing child was wearing when she disappeared. There are many dif designs of hello kitty in pink.

I am sure it is not hers but I am glad they went ahead and took it to be tested, good on there part IMO they have not ruled anyone out so maybe they felt just throwing it back in the trash meant they believed that was not the one she was wearing..NOT saying her family did anything wrong just saying I think they did the right thing

My niece was also into that Hello Kitty stuff my gosh there are tons of things..I heard a dog hit on something but never heard what or when but then someone said on HLN if it was in the park that she lived there and her scent could be picked up for that reason...

[Pinetree]

I can't believe we're just now hearing about the birthmark on her face! That seems like a pretty important detail! :confused:

[aproudmom]

http://shop.sanrio.com/hello-kitty-tops/Tops,default,sc.html

OMG thanks..lol..have they showed a pic of the a actual shirt if not they should see if they can find one to give out to media so people know what shirt it is should not be that hard to find one or if the shirt is seen on the camera before she went missing then that would be something else to get out to show just what she was wearing at that times....I am not sure how well those camera's are but would be worth a try to zoom it in...jmo

[Pinetree]

Did they release the Slayter guy, yet??

[aproudmom]

OK the jeep Cherokee they took had a canoe on it so I am wondering if that is the reason for the cadaver dog and search of the lake.
I am wondering if this is the cars of the guy that was arrested for drinking and released is his SIL still posting on here if she is maybe she can let us know if these were his cars or the other man who kissed her 2 years ago..this was from a couple nights ago but I never heard about the canoe not that it means someone is guilty...I just listened to the video on the link.

http://www.ktvu.com/news/19051010/detail.html

[aproudmom]

Did they release the Slayter guy, yet??

as far as I know they never arrested him or they said they didn't at the pressor earlier

[aproudmom]

I can't believe we're just now hearing about the birthmark on her face! That seems like a pretty important detail! :confused:

yep I agree with you Pinetree pretty much the same in the Haleigh cummings case they did not report the birthmark on her face until days later:thumbdown:

[aproudmom]

LE on the phone did say they were taking it into evidence anyway, but it just seems odd that Sandra was reported last seen with a pink Hello Kitty shirt on and some other person just happens to throw one away?

According to LE they are going through this entire weeks trash for Tracy to make sure nothing is missed. It would be too late next week to do it. Good for them.

Hi Riverwalk did you go hand out flyers there?

[aproudmom]

gapryncess, I know you fully believe in Chris Sinclair's innocence, but it seems they have reason to really be zeroing in on him...

How is he related to the Cantu family?

Bev

Bev I have to say the same I am sorry she is having to go through this but at this time I feel they do not tow cars and search homes if they don't feel they may have a reason . If there is nothing to hide let them search away I would say. I am not so sure LE even named him he went on TV along with the Old guy that kissed her and talked about it that was how it got out in the first place not by LE....JMO

He is not related BTW just gapryncess BIL and he lives in the park

[aproudmom]

On another forum where I read, there is talk Sandra's body has been found tonight.
This is unconfirmed.

http://www.mahalo.com/Chris_Sinclair

Chris Sinclair is a 49-year-old man from Tracy, California, who was arrested on March 30, 2009 for interfering with officers as they searched his mobile home trailer. He was cited and released. Sinclair is a neighbor of Sandra Cantu, an 8-year-old girl who disappeared from the same trailer park on March 27, 2009; he is one of at least three individuals who have been questioned in Cantu's disappearance.

Three of his automobiles have been impounded

Mobile home searched on March 30, 2009
Briefly arrested and then released for interfering with official actions in regard to the search of his mobile home

A search warrant was executed on the house of a relative of Sinclair's on April 2, 2009


The FBI also searched the Oakdale, Calif., home of a man related to the neighbor of the girl.

The relative, Chris Sinclair, has been a focus of the investigation into Sandra's disappearance a week ago. Three vehicles connected to him have already been seized.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,512411,00.html

I guess they returned this guys car back to him.This is the martial arts guy who kissed her a couple years ago.Someone said the shirt was not found in the park from this report it was so I can see why it was so alarming until the mom said it was not the same one she was wearing.

Frank Wohler's station wagon was returned Thursday after authorities confiscated the vehicle Monday night when they searched his home.
They also spent the day going through residents' trash.

Police said another search of the trailer park where Sandra lives yielded a Hello Kitty T-shirt like the one the child was last seen wearing.

Dont know to much about the lastest person they are talking to.

[dulcinea]

I've done a few searches and have found nothing official stating they have located her. A couple of pages did pop up saying her body was found (one of which was mentioned above). The second seemed like it was a personal page and nothing to be taken seriously. I'm not saying it is incorrect, but it was not the most reliable of sources (meaning not an official news site or anything). I'm still holding out hope for a positive outcome. Like you all, I don't believe anything until LE confirms it. Gossip flies fast and furiously, especially online!

TRACY - Authorities are ready to release a week-old surveillance tape showing the last moments of missing Tracy 8-year-old Sandra Cantu.

The video is set to be released by the Tracy police department at a news conference Saturday set for 10:30am.

Tracy police revealed a search warrant was executed on one mobile home and a subject was taken to the police department for questioning. No arrests were made in connection with Sandra Cantu's disappearance today.

According to Lieutenant Jeremy Watney, the search warrant was executed following a lead that came in to authorities

Wonder why they searched relatives of Chris Sinclair isn't this the BIL of the poster on here?

http://www.fox40.com/pages/landing_sandra_cantu/?ONLY-ON-FOX40-FBI-Searches-Home-Of-Inter=1&blockID=256595&feedID=2674

FBI agents traveled to the city of Oakdale to search the home of relatives of Chris Sinclair. He's the man who allegedly interfered with FBI agents and officers as they searched a mobile home.

Agents looked through a boat that sat in the driveway of the Oakdale home, brought out canines to sniff out the property and used ladders to help search unreachable areas.

There was also a hole dug a few inches into the ground in the backyard, sitting next to a number of shovels and metal detectors.
