Clear Channel Donates Billboard In Lynn Boy Search:

I’ll get to Clear Channel in a second. First, investigators have said they are going to search a new area for Giovanni Gonzalez. They haven’t said what the new area will be or whether or not they’ve received any new information. Ernesto Gonzalez, Giovanni’s father, still sits in jail refusing to give police any information.

Now on to Clear Channel. They’re donating a billboard that will contain pictures of Giovanni and Ernesto Gonzalez and contact information in case any one has seen him. The billboard will be in Lynn, Mass. where Giovanni disappeared from.

In case anyone reading this blog may have actually seen Giovanni or has any information you can contact Lynn police at 781-595-2000.

Police plot strategy in hunt for boy:

Just wanted to post something I had missed previously about the case of Giovanni Gonzalez.

I previously posted about the bloody mop found in Ernesto Gonzalez’s residence. What I neglected to post is that other evidence taken from there were cleaner, a knife, and lighter fluid.

That is very foreboding.

Lynn police scour evidence in disappearance of Giovanni Gonzalez:

Unfortunately, police have come up empty so far in their search for Giovanni Gonzalez. Police say that they are scaling back on the physical search for Giovanni and are refocusing on the evidence they have so far.

Between this and the search of the cemetery, I don’t have high hopes at this point.

However, Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett says that he is optimistic that Giovanni is still alive. He also announced that lab results from the bloody mop are back but he couldn’t comment on the results at this time.

Lynn’s Pine Grove Cemetery targeted in search for missing boy:

Yesterday Mass. State Police and police from Lynn, Mass. scoured Pine Grove Cemetery looking for missing 5-year-old Giovanni Gonzalez.

Cadaver dogs were used but police insist that this was a search and rescue mission and not a recovery mission.

Giovanni’s story may even be featured on America’s Most Wanted this week.

Disturbing evidence found in home of missing boy’s father:

A bloody mop was found in the apartment of Ernesto Gonzalez. Gonzalez is the father of Giovanni Gonzalez who has been missing since last weekend. Ernesto Gonzalez did not return Giovanni to his mother after a weekend visitation.

Ernesto Gonzalez is being held on $500K bond on child endangerment charges.

Mom Makes Plea For 5-Year-Old’s Safe Return:

With all the hoopla surrounding the Caylee Anthony story stories like this are getting swept under the rug. So effective immediately I am imposing a Casey Anthony embargo on this site. There are many fine blogs on the Coalition of Crime Bloggers blogroll who are covering the story. If you wish to receive more information about the Casey Anthony please visit them.

5-year-old Giovanni Gonzalez was reported missing by his mother, 22-year-old Daisy Colon of East Boston, on Monday night. Ms. Colon had dropped Giovanni off with his father, 36-year-old Ernesto Gonzalez of Lynn, Mass. Giovanni’s parents have been involved with a custody dispute. Gonzales did not return Giovanni at the end of his visitation.

Gonzalez was arrested Monday and ordered held on $500,000 cash bail following his arraignment in Lynn District Court. Officials were concerned because Gonzalez had a cut on his left finger, and he gave conflicting accounts of how the injury happened, the Lynn Daily Item reported.

And Giovanni is nowhere to be found…

Giovanni weighs approximately 40 pounds and is 49 inches tall with black hair and brown eyes. When last seen, he was wearing blue denim jeans, a red T-shirt, a silver braided chain and black Spiderman sandals. He was carrying a black backpack that had the Transformers robot characters on it. It contained some of his clothes and toys.

He has a faded skin pigmentation mark on the lower right side of his chest and a small scar above his eyebrow.

Anyone with information about the child’s disappearance or whereabouts is asked to call 911 or Lynn Police at 781-595-2000.

I’ll be doing updates on this story as details become available and as time allows.
