Hassani Campbell
Court documents released Thursday indicate the foster father of missing 5-year-old Hassani Campbell sent a text message just days before the boy disappeared, threatening to the leave him alone at the Bay Area Rapid Transit station.
KTVU reports that the text message was found on Louis Ross’ phone during a search by law enforcement of the family home. The text message was sent from Ross to Hassani’s aunt, Jennifer Campbell and said, “This is [expletive] over. I will watch [Hassani’s sister] but he will be on the BART…”
Officers also said that Ross, 38, had concerns about caring for a developmentally disabled child.
Authorities also confirmed to KTVU that Ross failed an FBI polygraph test he was administered on Aug. 13. To see video of Ross on Nancy Grace, click here.
On Aug. 10, the day Hassani disappeared, Ross claims he left Hassani standing outside his BMW for two to five minutes. He went to open the front door of the store where the boy’s aunt, Jennifer Campbell, 33, works to ask her to open the back door so Hassani could enter with ease. Hassani suffers from cerebral palsy, and wears small white braces on his ankles.
Reports also indicate that on morning of Aug. 10, two employees at an auto salvage yard in Hayward, Calif. saw Hassani and Ross in the BMW.
The day before Ross was given the lie detector test the home where Hassani, his younger sister, and aunt live with Ross was searched. According to the warrant, police searched for a sword of cutting instrument and biological evidence related to Hassani.
Items taken during the search include four fingerprints taken from Ross’ car, one pair of latex gloves, and eight DNA swabs.
According to Jeff Thomason with the Oakland Police, Hassani’s disappearance is being treated as a missing person’s case, but as time passes, the chances of finding him alive get slimmer. Thomason noted there is no evidence a crime has been committed.
Hassani is African American with brown hair and brown eyes and was wearing a gray sweatshirt and gray pants when he was last seen. Anyone with information about Hassani should call the Oakland Police Department at 510-238-3641 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572 or 510-777-3211. There is a $10,000 reward for information leading to Hassani’s whereabouts.

I have known Louis Ross for about two years and was involved in recruiting him to the West Coast. One thing I can tell you about him is that honor and morals are extremely important to him. He would NEVER do something to a child or any human being inappropriately. It just isn't in him. His morality actually sometimes annoyed me as we worked for a company that didn't really practice morality. Also, I remember when he adopted the kids and, although I know he put a lot of thought into it, I was quite surprised because Louis had so many options in life. Louis is a man of great integrity and I can guarantee that he would NEVER do something so henious. The man is innocent and if he failed a polygraph test, it was due to tension. Louis is a man of true integrity and morals. He would never do something so horrible.
A samll child is missing!!!!! My concern is that the child has not been found yet. The only thing people can seem to speak about is the kind of person the foster father was or is for that matter. I could care less about the foster father's integrity. He should not have left the child alone in the 1st place. I pray that this child is found alive and well!!!!!!

He would never do something that crazy! He threatened to leave a little boy at a train station! And the fool failed a polygraph test! If you think he's such a good person then maybe the police should be questioning you too. As soon as I heard this story i knew they would be arresting the sicko soon after, story doesnt add up at all. You say he is innocent, so that means he didnt send those messages from his phone either!?! I pray you come to your senses and I cant wait for them to give this Sicko the death penalty!
all i can do is pray. i mean the truth will come out sooner or later but until then people need to stop pointing fingers and find Hassani. he's only 5 years old!!!!!!!!!
