“Hello Red Phone, I want to know why police don’t use a psychic when it comes to looking for that missing Morgan Hill teen or the missing mother in Gilroy. I know she was found about a week later. But, they are real, and they do work. It is true. There are other resources beside what they think they know.”
Santa Clara County law enforcement officials announced Thursday they found a purse containing “neatly folded” clothing that belonged to missing 15-year-old Sierra LaMar. And, they expanded their search by covering a larger area in north Morgan Hill, and devoting search dogs and other resources to the efforts.
