Police issued the first "Amber Alert" for Jessica Cortez when they suspected she had been abducted from Echo Park on Sunday. Then officers reclassified the disappearance as a missing child case, believing that she had drowned in the park's lake. While divers were searching the lake for her body, police interviewed a witness who told them Jessica left the park with a man described as dark-complexioned. That information prompted police to again classify the case as a possible abduction. Shur said the witness described the man last seen with Jessica as 20 to 25 years old, between 5-feet-8 and 6-feet tall, 160 to 180 pounds, wearing blue shorts and a white T-shirt, with a cross tattoo on his lower left leg. The man had a brown Chihuahua, according to Shur. |

Lord, I guess these folks just can't bring themselves to use the term 'black' when describing this perpetrator! You know how it is, in California, even child abductors and child murderers still have their rights not to be racially oppressed, or in any manner discriminated against! Putting a picture out is just fine, but the 'Amber Alert' System is most effective over the radio! Eric The(OldTimer)Hun[>]:)] |
