(08-28) 16:17 PDT Fremont — The foster parents of a missing 5-year-old boy with cerebral palsy were arrested today at their Fremont home and were being questioned by Oakland police homicide investigators in the case, authorities said.

Louis Ross, 38, and Jennifer Campbell, 33, were being held on unspecified charges in the suspected death of Hasanni Campbell, authorities said, even though the boy’s body has not been found.

John Burris, an attorney who has been consulting with the couple, confirmed the arrests.

Investigators had long focused their attentions on the foster parents, scouring their Fremont home with dogs two days after Hasanni vanished and questioning Ross and Campbell, who is Hasanni’s aunt and Ross’ fiancee. Ross also was given a polygraph examination; Campbell, who is more than six months pregnant, declined to take one, saying she feared it might harm her fetus.

Police had said the dogs were unable to detect Hasanni’s scent outside the shoe store where Ross said he last saw the boy. Hasanni wears arch-support braces because of his cerebral palsy, but he can walk on his own, Ross said.

At least over a week ago, the Oakland PD still said nothing of what they were actually thinking of doing with Ross, despite mounting public pressure of high suspicion.

I challenged the Oakland PD then to get off their butt and do the right thing — don’t call Ross a “person of interest”, be straight and call him a Suspect.

Let’s do away with all this PC BS.
