well, let’s examine, shall we?
This is a high profile case. The police have been extremely tight-lipped about this whole thing. The police should know that people are going to talk.
There’s no better rumor control than the truth. If the cops want to control rumors, then they should release more details.
In other words, if there’s rumors circulating, then it’s more the fault of the secretive police than it is anyone else.
I’m gonna give my opinion…the father is involved somehow, someway. I was willing to give the family the benefit of the doubt before I heard the father’s 911 call. His demeanor and his words were all calm and routine. Hell, he sounded as if he was calling for pizza, not reporting his own child missing. I think most parents would be hysterical and have a difficult time maintaining any sort of composure if they didn’t know where their child was. Not Isa’s father though…he didn’t seem disturbed in the least.

TPD has released more than 500 pages of investigative reports in the case, which we have posted in their entirety.
@Dylan Smith
Yeah, but far from detailed. Much redacted, and feet were dragged in releasing those reports, yes? Hell, it took Villasenor almost a month to actually publicly confirm this an abduction.
If TPD wants to leave us with more questions than answers about this high-profile case then they’re going to have to accept rumors as one of the consequences of that decision. I’m not defending the gossip-mongers, but TPD complaining about them is akin to someone building a house at the end of an airport runway and then complaining about the noise.
I agree, the public has been left to conjure up it’s own story due to a severe lack of detail. Reliable detail. I feel this just goes to show how little TPD actually knows about the case. I could be wrong. But it seems as if we are all grasping at straws at this point. I hope this innocent child is still alive and well.
