Isabella Grogan-Cannella 8, missing in Bullhead City AZ

[HairOfTheDog]

Thanks blueberry, your link worked. Very sad that a body was found instead of a live Bella.

Dug around a little bit. Here are the highlights.

- The body was found very close to the home

- Police say no sign of breaking and entering (but they haven't officially ruled out an abduction)

- Family members were taken to the police station tonight for more questioning (doesn't imply guilt - to be expected)

- Family friend arrested on unrelated charges and questioned in relation to Bella's case. His name is Justin James Rector of Bullhead City. Age 26.

I found Rector's rap sheet in the AZ.GOV Public Records database -- drugs, alcohol to minor, assault, trespassing, domestic violence... Also found his Facebook. He's friends with Bella's mom, Tania Grogan. Rector claims on his Facebook page that he's been cleared and the parents are crackheads.

I don't think anybody's been cleared; didn't see any such statement from LE at tonight's press conference. The police spokeswoman would not confirm or deny that Rector is a suspect in Bella's death (quoted in local media piece linked below).

Note: Bella's father is Roy Cannella -- he posted on Bring Bella Home BHC this evening.

I take off for a conference in Arizona tomorrow night; hope someone is charged before I head back on Sunday night.

RIP Bella.
