She didn't post on THM or WS. From what I've gathered she tweets publicly, knowing it's a central location for folks to hear what she has to say.

Hopefully someone will find a way to let her know about RC. Twitter has capped my "following" limit at 3000 so I can't get a message to her myself (hint hint).

She often posts on findsierralamar twitter page if that helps.

Divers to Verify "Questionable" Items in LaMar Case


Sheriff’s divers are returning to Anderson and Almaden reservoirs to verify objects that divers captured via sonar last week while searching for clues in the disappearance of missing Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar. The divers will be returning to the reservoirs sometime this week, possibly to Anderson on Wednesday and Almaden on Thursday, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Sgt. Jose Cardoza said.

uh.... did they just publicly alert the would-be killer that they might want to go back and move their evidence?

well, i guess if their keeping it under surveillance, that's exactly what they'd want...

Maybe they want more multiple sightings of multiple vehicles By multiple witnesses in that general area.

God, I hate to say this but if they are for her in the water, then I would think she would just be bones now. I would think that would make her so much harder to find, unless she was put in something.

I think she's farther away than that.
Near a road.
Easy disposal.
In and out kind of thing.

That would make since if she was kidnapped, because they would take her farther from her house before they did something to her. If they don't think she was kidnapped and something happened to her at home, then I think they would look closer to the house.

That's not the video I wanted to show everyone, but there's a video in there titled, "New Clues Found by Authorities Rejuvenate Sierra Lamar Search." Notice Marlene stumbling on her words and her emphasis on "We're PRAYING"

I want to know if they have checked out the cabins the family spent time at. And the roads around the area of the cabins.

I believe that the cabins referenced by Sierra in Her SM were not owned by the family.

I had originally thought the same thing after she referred to Rick and Marlenes as psychos and did not want to go anywhere with them.

I believe the cabin was in the Tahoe area, which is a 4-5 hour drive from Morgan Hill. I think it'd be highly unlikely if it were the case that someone in that household drove her.

I feel same way but I've been thinking about the stolen vehicle thing all day today - it fits. But I went to Monterey on Saturday and the way I go is 101 and so forth through mh and gilroy. I saw searchers out and a helicopter on the way there. And i was looking around as I drove they are harvesting artichokes like no other in castroville and you have hollister on the way and Watsonville. There are so many areas out there that are possibilities. It is very scary.

http://cupertino.patch.com/articles/to-protect-sierra-detectives-share-little-info

The info on the article about the car is a little disturbing. They have had the car for awhile at least since end of march and they say "has yet to undergo forensic examination, and it’s not clear when it will happen"????? What? They are so lying or acting like it right. They have to be. Right???

I hate to say it, but I don't have very much confidence in the police department. They release all the water search locations ahead of time, they haven't tested the car, etc.

I am praying every day Sierra is found safe.

I would even go as far as to speculate that LE had this car as early as 3/24, when it was reported as recovered.

They had already been viewing surveillance as of 3/20, as per NG episode.

FBI had canvassed neighborhood 3/21.

There was ample time to get some forensics back.

I am of the opinion that the car may possess less evidentiary value than it does PR value.

Possibilites for disposing of a body?

Lesser known access roads in recreational areas????

20/30 min+ off the 101 or I 680.

It has been 2 months!! Sorry I hate the word anniversary for negative timeframes.

I missed the boat here.
When was this turned from a rescue to a recovery?
Do they have details we don't have leading one to conclude Sierra is no longer alive? I mean, while we, the lay people, may suspect this I would not think the PD would operate on such flimsy speculation.

Freckles then both of us are sitting on the dock... I thought PD still had not made any statements either way as of yet!

I don't think the police made such a statement, but when the talk about searching water, they are not looking for alive person. They already found things that they believed she had when she left the house such as phone, books, purse, and neatly folded clothes in purse. I do think they have already said that they believe she was taken close to the house. It is a sad fact that this does not end up good and very few are like Elisabeth Smart.

What happened?

http://www.kron4.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=4141

"This red Jetta was known to investigators early on in the investigation at the end of March," Santa Clara County Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Jose Cardoza tells KRON 4's Terisa Estacio. ..........
"We're just really not going to comment on in what capacity we believe it's associated, whether how big or how small, but we do believe it's connected in some way," Sgt. Cardoza adds.

Weird... they say they know who the owner of the Jetta is but won't identify he or she!!

A message from @hotsteno via twitlonger:

"Clarification... My dd (17) caught SHS bus at Palm & Dougherty in her freshman & sophomore years. We complained the bus stop was too remote to MHUSD, and they blew us off. See MH Times article "Are Rural Bus Stops Safe?" I'm interviewed and MHUSD is interviewed. The latter gave same response to paper they gave me. MHUSD completely misses the point, suggests this is about lazy kids who want to be picked up at their houses instead of safety. I'm not done with MHUSD!

My dd has never been abducted and no one has ever attempted to abduct her to my knowledge. Last summer, @mellowrose89 's bf threatened my life when I tried to keep her from going with him. She's now a full-time prostitute. None of us have heard from @mellowrose89 since shortly after SL disappeared. There is a theory SL was abducted mistakenly thinking it was my dd. My dd is blonde though. Still, it bothers me. I wish I could find @mellowrose89. I am concerned she is being kept away from family & friends by her bf & his Kumi 415 gang.

That story re @mellowrose89 may be the genesis of the confusion. Also, my 85yo gma sometimes believes my dd was abducted. I don't know if I've tweeted about that, but in case I did, that's something that's wrong in her mind. She is literally hallucinating. She has cancer, which is affecting her mind.

These are not the happiest times in our lives. All your prayers and support have truly been appreciated!

Kimi please thank Hotsteno for contributing this information. She is clearly a strong woman with what is going on in her personal life and still is out there advocating for change; and talking about the SL case... the video of the walk she would have taken.. All time consuming when her own life is complicated now..remarkable... TY hotsteno.

Awwww shucks, lol! Well, I do type 75-wpm; hopefully that's a good place to start?
I'm not going to lie, that transcription didn't exactly happen quickly! Lots of pause/playback to make sure I got it right, especially during the ML/StL/LS interviews.
I was seriously motivated for the #FindSierraLamar cause!

Thanks to @tbrownsanjo, @hotsteno has found us now and is reading the thread as she was as THM. I will do my best post her responses onto the thread, unless someone here beats me to it (lol).
Something tells me, she is reading your post as we speak....

No problem. Honestly I was tired of not knowing anything about twitter so I signed up and found hosteno. I think her insight on sl is great nothing like knowing what's going on down there first hand by her. The video of sl's walk to bus stop and other videos are very informative and the BEST source of information captured in my opinion! Thx hosteno!

A Message From Sierra’s Father Marks the Two Month Milestone of Her Disapperance

Date: May 16, 2012

Hi Everyone,

Although today marks the painful 2-month milestone since my daughter Sierra went missing, my family and I remain positive and confident that she will be back home safe with us soon.

The outstanding care, love and support that the community has shown, enables my family and I to cope with this day and all the previous days since March 16. We are so thankful for this.

We will continue to do everything we can to find Sierra and bring her back safe to us. I ask everyone to keep Sierra in your hearts, thoughts, and prayers.

With love and gratitude to all who are helping us,

Sierra’s Father, Steve LaMar

And the fact that he uses/calls her name!

Thanks to @hotsteno for this:
"However, Marlene called me some time in February, and asked for some help on how to handle a situation Sierra was involved in. Sierra was part of a cheer group (outside of school), and apparently they were treating her very badly. There was even suspicion that the girls had dropped Sierra intentionally during some routines at practice. Marlene wanted Sierra to quit the group. I don't know much more about this situation, but it seemed pretty contentious."

I re-sent the email to @hotsteno. It's the same email address I had for her. Hopefully the messages make it to her this time and don't just fly out into cyberspace, never to be seen again!
I absolutely appreciate all of her efforts and dedication to the #FindSierraLamar cause.
I will keep you all posted!

A write up on @hotsteno!


"She continues to keep us updated on the events in the case, and has been a stalwart  volunteer. She witnessed the shady character who repeatedly stole Sierra’s missing posters from the neighborhood.  Unfazed by this bizarre character, she continued to put up new posters while keeping a watchful eye over the neighborhood.

It is nice to see that there is such a thing as a “good neighbor” in a time where most of us rarely know our neighbors, and even fewer would make the effort to help us if we were in a situation where a child was missing

I applaud Hotsteno, and all I can say is, ” I wish you were my neighbor!” "

I'm going to say something very unpopular. So here goes.

I try to remain very consistent in my processing of information/people.

If I were the mother of one of the girls this man "touched" or "fondled" while at his house (as he was arrested for), I would not be thinking "poor man" -- any moreso than how I feel when I read any of the stories on these boards about men who touch or violate children. Sorry - I just can't go there with my sympathy level. My sympathy is always for the children first. I obviously think "poor Sierra". I do acknowlege he is hurting and as a human being he worthy of mercy to an extent. But the honest truth is that very likely someone who has taken and/or possibly violated or harmed Sierra is made up of the very same fiber and preference to pervsion as her own father. Very ironic. I do feel an extent of sympathy for him as one of God's creatures, but I also hope that this tragedy prompts him to ponder on the fact that people like him are the cause of why people like Sierra go missing.

I agree, Stolat. I kind of feel the same.
