Lisa...Welcome

[LisaWL7TR]

Lisa...Welcome

Thank You!

...and just for the record-

...I know nancy grace isnt well loved even by friends of mine...I posted an apology to one friend before I uploaded the photo with her on facebook. I guess I have a habit of listening to the dirt that she may or may not have...I do hate that she doesnt listen and or give her guests the respect she expects from them.
My photo op was just that I happen to be at the Atlanta airport at the same time she was.

The writing on the wall may be significant (if true) but most likely will not. Most kids like to write on the wall, both of mine did it when they were about 2-3 years old. At 6, Isa would know she shouldn't write on the walls, but in her closet she could get away with it, as who would see it?

Then again I could be wrong and Isa wrote on her closet walls when she was put in there as punishment. Until LE releases info on what she wrote (if indeed she wrote anything) we won't know.

I love how NG makes everything into a BOMBSHELL! Good Lord she cracks me up.

[Lady Cop]

just as a point of interest, this is Isa's father in his stage make-up. he is on the stage in an opera chorus. a bit of the drama queen is necessary for that.

[Sterling]

. . . this is Isa's father . . . a bit of the . . . queen . . .

BINGO! Creepy fucker makes my skin crawl. Friend of Dorothy.

[Jimbone]

Poor little angel... look at that beaming smile.

[LisaWL7TR]

Since nothing is new...on this case-
I just wanted to reply...as a child I scribbled on drawers and peeled paint off my closet doors. I was never abused. Just the baby and only girl...lol.

I keep thinking...what if the neighbor that heard voices at 6:30 had looked out...wondering what she would have seen? Also wondering if she heard the voices again...could she id them??

Friday night:

TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - The last time anyone saw Isabel Celis was exactly four weeks ago. Friday night a large crowd came together to make sure everyone knows hope remains alive and strong. Rebecca Celis was the face of the family at the candlelight walk. Noticeably absent, her husband Sergio, forced to watch from behind the walls of the Celis family home.

"It's a bad dream we can't wake up from," said Rebecca.

Almost one month later, Rebecca is still a mother without her baby daughter, but she's still hopeful, she'll find her soon.

"I know in my heart she's out there," she said. "It's just taken a little longer than I was hoping to find her."

Crowds gathered for a candlelight walk as a way to show support and solidarity with the Celis family, a family that's been split up in recent days as TPD and CPS continues their investigations.9OYS reporter Marcelino Benito asked Rebecca if she'd like to refute any of the rumors circulating about her husband.

Rebecca replied, "My husband's a great father who loves his boys, who loves his daughter. He's a great husband, a great father. At the end of the day when she comes home, everybody's questions will be answered."

Sergio was unable to attend the candlelight walk. KGUN 9 asked Rebecca if Sergio would've liked to attend. She replied, "Oh yes, but my son wants to be out here. It was one or the other, so my son's coming out here instead."

another presser just completed with no information. it is the last scheduled presser. i.e. waste of everyone's time.

[Lady Cop]

there will be a document dump later today.
blood? whose blood?
gossip and psychics. oh my.

i don't see anything substantial here:

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -

More than 550 pages relating to the Isabel Celis case were released Thursday.

Last seen on Friday, April 20, Isabel was believed to have disappeared from her room sometime after 11 p.m. that evening.

As the search for 6-year-old Isabel continues past the one month mark, police have not named any suspects or ruled anyone out. Police say they have obtained more than 1,000 tips.

The documents include write-ups from detectives as they responded to these tips, as well as evidence collected and locations searched throughout the course of the investigation.

Specifics on forensic evidence collected from the day Isabel was reported missing are described. One detective wrote, "I used a forensic light source to search the middle east bedroom of the residence for any bodily fluids." The official also photographed footprints in the alleyway south of the Celis home and "several shoe impressions on top of an electrical box located directly behind the residence."

In one of the documents, a scenario is described where a man informed a detective, while at a Bruegger's Bagels near the Celis home, that he coached baseball with Sergio Celis and that he 'knows him well.' The detective's write up continues; "(The man) went on to say that something didn't seem right about what was going on and alluded that he believed that the father was involved in some way."

UPDATE: What exactly was taken from the home is revealed in the documents, including Isabel's hairbrush and toothbrush. The window where the screen was removed was swabbed for DNA. Also, one of the documents states, "Overall interior views of the residence including views of items of evidence as marked by detectives on scene and overall views of the middle east bedroom including views of apparent blood on the floor."

Taken from a car at the residence was a white hat and a vinyl shower curtain. The items had "dark red-brown or brown stains." Tests were not performed on scene of the shower curtain because "it was decided to keep the item close to its original condition and allow crime lab personnel to screen the shower curtain for possible evidence if deemed necessary."

UPDATE: One detective reported a positive Luminol reason on the "driver's seat of the Toyota Corolla," that was at the residence. Luminol is used in forensic investigations to identify traces of blood.

On the third day of Isabel's disappearance, an investigator responded to Highland Park over a report of a child's sandals found in a garbage can that were subsequently collected as evidence.

One detective reported on April 26 that he went to "3314 E. Benson Highway regarding the report of a phone call at a payphone claiming to have the missing little girl and if police did not respond in ten minutes he would kill her." The officer responded and did not see anyone near the payphone or in the immediate area.

Multiple potential sightings were reported including one from the Tivoli Gardens Restaurant in Surprise, AZ. A person notified police saying, "A stocky man in his middle or late 30's was more or less dragging a small girl fitting the description of (Isabel) out of the Tivoli Gardens. I held the exit/front door open for them, but thought it a bit unusual...the little girl was essentially dragged out by the hand before she could respond to my salutation."

Tucson News Now has also learned that officers utilized air searches, canvassing the area from Speedway, 22^nd Street, Swan Road and Wilmot Road at an altitude of 300 to 500 feet.

Scores of evidence were collected around southern Arizona including a multicolored blanket on an Interstate 10 ramp off the Irvington exit and a doll lying in front of a person's home.

Psychic tips were also followed up by police. One psychic from British Columbia claimed Isabel was "on the second floor of a U-shaped complex at 10^th/Lenora behind Tucson Collect and AZ babies."

Another psychic told investigators, "Please check the sex abuser five doors down searching his trash, his barbeque pit and his freezer."

The full PDF of the documents will be available by Friday afternoon.

LC, what do you think about 'psychics'. I personally don't believe them, I think they can build a false hope, there are more hits than misses. However, I can only go by what I have seen on TV. What do you know about them? Good, or not good?

do you ever read the posts before yours? post 153 pretty well sums up my disdain for pychics. with this icon--->

but let me consult my crystal ball...yep. the body will be near a tree and either in or close to water. uh huh.

in this case, sand. lots of sand. the desert.

[aussiefriend]

do you ever read the posts before yours?

ah yes. I was hoping that you would provide a little more insight than

[Lady Cop]

i do not see the point in releasing this. dark red-brown or brown stains"? not confirmed to be blood? there are immediate field tests for human blood you can do at scene. this has no merit until forensics comes back:
---------------------

Police said they found what appeared to be blood on the bedroom floor of a missing 6-year-old Tucson girl and dark stains on other items during a search at her home.

Hundreds of pages of reports released Thursday by Tucson police detail the search for Isabel Mercedes Celis, who was reported missing on April 21.

The reports show officers saw "apparent blood" on the floor of Isabel's room, the place her parents say she was last seen.

ABC News reports that during one search, police collected a hat and vinyl shower curtain found in a car outside the Celis home. Both items had "dark red-brown or brown stains."

On the morning Isabel was reported missing, police took all the bedding from the home and gathered DNA and blood samples from Isabel's parents, the Arizona Daily Star reports.

Just came here looking for an update.

[Cheyne]

This is the latest I can find:

It has been nearly three months since 6-year-old Isabel Celis disappeared from her Tucson home but her mother, Rebecca Celis, has not stopped searching for her little girl.

A new volunteer center opened up last week in order to honor and help find Isabel or Isa as her family calls her.

The volunteer headquarters space was donated by the Christian Faith Fellowship Church in order for the Celis family to raise awareness to help bring back Isabel.

They are not actively searching for Isabel, but honestly where would you search? There is a lot of desert out there and with temps in the 100's it's almost impossible to put any kind of search team out.

I haven't read anything about Sergio and if he's been with his family. As far as the news media knows-the "voluntary" no contact order is still in place.
