Diamond Bar: November 2007 Archives
The initial search for Jennifer Dejongh focused on a "missing" Lincoln Aviator. Up until this morning the sheriff's department was still teling reporters that they were on the lookout for the car. Our sister paper even ran a story with the information.
Just one problem. The Aviator pictured here is the "missing" Aviator. It's been parked in a Whittier driveway since Sunday. Ace reporter Jen McLain snapped this photo Tuesday morning.
Wenesday morning ace reporter Tania Chatila was chatting with deputies at Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau and this is her report of the exchange:
Okay, so I called about 7:30 - 7:45 this morning to see if there were any updates on the Miller case. I s/w a Deputy Oscar Butao who at the time told me that there was no new information and that police were still searching for the children, the mother and the car.
I asked him what car? And he said a black Lincoln Aviator license plate 5JAT330.
I got off the phone, wrote up the web update but left out the car information because I remembered the photo. Eddie called, I told him about it and he told me to call back and ask. When I did, Butao said something along the lines of "Oh, they recovered the vehicle?" He said he would check up on it. He called me back and basically said that the information was on an old, initial alert and that it was no longer valid. He said there was no new car information.
Doofs!!!!
