  • Giovanni Gonzlaez news

    Cops searched Gonzalez’ home after confession:

    Just a quick update on the story of Giovanni Gonzalez.

    His father, Ernesto Gonzalez, has pleaded not guilty to the latest charges against him of charges of parental kidnapping and willfully misleading police in the disappearance of his son.

    And while police are remaining tight-lipped about the November 28th search after Gonzalez ‘confessed’ to the Boston Globe a neighbor of Gonzalez’s said that police searched Gonzalez’s house again. The neighbor said that they heard police sawing in the bathroom.

  • New search for Giovanni Gonzalez

    New Location Searched In Giovanni Case:

    State Police in Lynn, Mass. have searched a new location in the search for Giovanni Gonzalez. Police are keeping quiet about where the location is or if it had anything to with Ernesto Gonzalez’s skeptical confession.

    The place of the search is being kept a secret as to not jeopardize the investigation.

  • craigslist prostitution on South Shore

    Prostitution thrives online on South Shore:

    This is just an article about how craigslist prostitution has taken hold on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I just wanted to post a quote from one police officer in the article…

    “For the last few years, I haven’t come across a prostitution case where (craigslist) wasn’t involved somewhere,” said Sgt. Richard Fuller of Weymouth, where police check the site two to three times a week.

    I guess that self-policing by craigslist users is really on the rise.

  • “Don’t know where Giovanni is at”

    Father Says He Doesn’t Know Where Lynn Boy Is:

    Ernesto Gonzalez was back in court again on Friday trying to get his bail lowered even though he has not assisted police in any way to help find his son Giovanni.

    “Don’t know where Giovanni is at,” Gonzalez said.

    After that, Gonzalez wouldn’t say anymore.

    In court, Gonzalez showed no emotion. Prosecutors told the judge he was the last person to see his son Giovanni.

    Thankfully the judge denied his lower bond request and it’s still set at $500K.

  • Ernesto Gonzalez may have had an accomplice

    Accomplice May Have Helped Kidnap Giovanni:

    Police in Lynn, Mass. are looking into the possibility that Ernesto Gonzalez had an accomplice in the disappearance of his son Giovanni Gonzalez.

    They are also saying that since Ernesto Gonzalez had no transportation of his own they’re looking into public transportation for clues.

    Investigators are also saying that there’s no reason to believe that Giovanni is dead.

    I wish I was that optimistic.

    Police urge anyone with information about Giovanni’s whereabouts to contact Lynn police at 781-595-2000.

  • The search for Giovanni Gonzalez continues

    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.

  • Other evidence from Ernesto Gonzalez’s home

    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.

    ‘Most Wanted’ joins Giovanni search:

    Giovanni Gonzalez will be featured on this week’s episode of America’s Most Wanted during their missing person’s segment.

    “We had a huge amount of people to choose from. This one was a no-brainer. We have a missing child. We need information,” said Most Wanted correspondent Jon Leiberman Wednesday.

    Hopefully, this will help in bringing him home.

  • AMW on Giovanni Gonzalez

    amw_logo

    As much as I’ve been complaining that the national media has not been paying any attention to the Giovanni Gonzalez story I received an e-mail today that restored my faith in humanity. The one national media outlet that is actually doing what it can for Giovanni is America’s Most Wanted. They have an extensive profile of the situation on their website.

    Every week I and a lot of other crime bloggers receive an e-mail letting us know what’s on AMW that week. Hopefully, they’ll have Giovanni’s story featured on this week’s episode.

  • The latest on Giovanni Gonzalez

    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.
