Elizabeth Johnson (left) Gabriel Johnson (right)
Investigators in San Antonio, Texas have concluded their search of a landfill for missing baby Gabriel Johnson. In a press conference today, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said, “We have found no evidence of a homicide. The case remains open as a missing person’s case.” A few weeks ago, police announced the search for Gabriel through a landfill was not only a missing person’s investigation, but also a homicide investigation because Gabriel’s mother Elizabeth Johnson had told his father she killed the child. Johnson is currently behind bars in Arizona facing charges of child abuse, kidnapping, and attempted custodial interference. Her next court appearance is scheduled for 10 a.m. on March 17, 2010. Logan, Gabriel’s father, is working with private investigator Jay J. Ames, tracking down leads, putting up fliers and doing everything he can to find his son. They are traveling across the country and into Mexico in search of tips and information.

Giovanni Gonzalez-Colon MISSING
August 15, 2008 was the last time Giovanni Gonzalez-Colon was ever seen. Giovanni’s mother dropped the 5-year-old off for a weekend with his father, but he never returned the child. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children says the child may be in Puerto Rico.
Giovanni’s case made headlines last year when Giovanni’s father, Ernesto Gonzalez, said he killed his son. Giovanni’s mother, Daisy Colon, doesn’t believe those claims. Police say there is no evidence to prove a homicide took place. Giovanni is known to have a small scar above his eyebrow.
If you have any information on this case, or if you’ve seen Giovanni, please call:

Carolyn Anne Celine (left) - Casey (right)
FBI agents say Caroline Keyvani is a victim of a parental kidnapping. Authorities say Caroline’s mom, Carolyn Casey-Keyvanni sold her car, quit her job, and took her child from Pennsylvania. Caroline’s father was granted sole custody in November 2006, but sadly hasn’t seen his child since. According to a federal arrest warrant, Casey-Keyvanni is charged with parental kidnapping, and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Caroline may have lost her baby teeth and doesn’t have any freckles. Agents say Casey-Kevani used to work in Spain, and speaks fluent Spanish. She could be attending mass every Sunday at a Catholic church somewhere in the world where she is known to be active in her faith. According to the FBI website, “Casey-Kevani has an autoimmune disorder for which she has been prescribed medicine. She has had several kidney infections since her surgery.”
If you have any information, please contact the FBI.

- Heavenly Erickson found
Heavenly Erickson was found with her mother in Mexico City last night. This was a kidnapping I reported to you on December 15, 2009. Investigators say Heavenly went missing on November 24, 2009 when she was abducted by her non-custodial mother Viola Cathel. A felony warrant was issued for Cathel for custodial interference. Police thought early on that Cathel and her daughter may be traveling with 33-year-old James Worthington, but it appears at this point Worthington was not with them when they were found. The United States Marshals service is working to bring Heavenly home to her father, and to extradite her mother. Cathel is being held on felony kidnapping charges at this time. Great work by the investigators who found this mother and daughter!

Marc Bookal missing
Within the last 24 hours a second anonymous donor gave $5,000 for the safe return of Marc Anthony Bookal. This is on top of an another anonymous donation of $10,000 and Carlie’s Crusade Foundation is offering $1,000, bringing the total to $16,000. Police are asking the public to look around their homes for the boy, and they are also seeking surveillance video from anyone in the southeast section of the city so they can review. Fliers are posted throughout the community, and all police resources are maxed out. I spoke with Sgt. Toomey with the Newburgh Police in New York, and he told me Marc was reported missing by his mother’s boyfriend, Cory Byrd on December 14, 2009 around 1:10 p.m. Byrd told police he went downstairs, the door was open, and Marc was gone. Sgt. Toomey says Byrd told them he thought the child went a few steps away in an adjacent building to visit his aunt, something he did frequently. The toddler has discoloration on the back of his hands from a recent burn injury, and he was last seen wearing a red long sleeved shirt, gray sweatpants, and Nike shoes.

Susan Powell Missing
Last night, in the pouring rain, Josh Powell who is considered a person of interest in his wife Susan Powell’s disappearance attended a prayer vigil with his 4-year-old child. About 60 friends and family were in attendance outside a church in Puyallup, Washington. Reports say he spoke to his wife’s sister briefly, and gave her a hug, and agreed to speak with her later.
BACKGROUND: Police would like to question Josh Powell again, and since naming him a person of interest, they have requested all news footage pertaining to Josh Powell, specifically the interviews he gave with local stations after his wife went missing. Authorities sent subpoenas on Friday to all Salt Lake City television stations, but will not say what they are hoping to find in the interviews. Cops are looking to collect as much physical evidence as possible, and to process what they gather through the crime lab. Assistant Chief Black says Josh Powell is considered a person of interest, and earlier this week, with his attorney, Josh did submit to a DNA sample. Assistant Chief Black told me Josh answered a few general questions about his wife, but he would not answer any detailed questions about Susan (i.e. any enemies she may have had, answers about their personal relationship, etc). Josh’s position to the media is that he wants to find his wife, and investigators working the case want to find her too, but Assistant Chief Black says without answers to many questions they have for Josh, and having a working partnership with him, “it really hinders finding her in a timely manner.”

Mariana Cisneros Missing
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited children, more than 200,000 children are victims of family abductions every single year. This is another case out of California where investigators believe Mayra Cisneros kidnapped her daughter Mariana. A felony warrant was issued for Cisneros on March 30, 2009. Child custody cases are difficult on the children because the mother and father are usually dragging each other in and out of the court system for years, just like with the Jean Paul Lacombe case out of Texas. If you have any information on where Mariana or mother could be please contact: 1-800-THE-LOST

Jean Paul Missing
Investigators say Jean Paul Lacombe was abducted by his non-custodial father, Jean Philippe Lacombe, on October 15, 2009 in San Antonio, Texas. Lacombe allegedly gave the court invalid Mexican Documents to overturn the case, and the judge gave him custody. Lacombe was supposed to show back up for a court hearing on Monday, October 19, 2009, but instead he fled with his son.
HISTORY OF CUSTODY:
Cliff Herberg with the Bexar District Attorney’s office in Texas says there are 1,400 pages pertaining to this case that have accumulated over the years in Mexican court. He has not had a chance to review every single page, but Mr. Herberg was able to provide a timeline and background of custody between the parents.
2003: Divorce proceedings began
2004: Divorce is finalized, and both parties agree Jean Paul will live with his father, and his mother will have “extended access” meaning she would still see her son on a daily basis by picking him up from school, taking him home, eating dinner with him.

He has not had a chance to review every single page, but Mr. Herberg was able to provide a timeline and background of custody between the parents.
I spoke with Jean Paul’s mother Berenice Diaz early on, and she says her son likes to go by the name Paul only. He loves to play soccer, and he’s a very good student in school. When Paul grows up, he wants to be a pastry chef. Paul speaks English, Spanish and French, and was last seen with his father, Jean Paul Lacombe. Prior to October, it had been nearly two years since Paul last saw his father. Berenice says her son did not want to talk to or see his father, and he told her he would let her know when he was ready.
