Video: Foster father of Hassani Campbell talks to Nancy Grace


Hassani Campbell

Louis Ross, 38, the foster father of 5-year-old Hassani Campell spoke to HLN's  Nancy Grace and explained what occurred the day the little boy disappeared.

He told Grace that 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 Cambell, 33, works to ask her to open the back door so Hassani could enter with ease. Hassani suffers from cerebral palsy, but Ross said he does not wear silver leg braces, but instead wears small white braces on his ankles.

Ross explained, "By the time I got there [to the car], Jennifer is already out of the store, walking toward me, asking, 'Where is Hasanni?' And I say, 'What do you mean, where is Hasanni?' And I look around to the side, and he is no longer there."

Ross voluntarily took a polygraph test earlier in the week and was questioned by homicide detectives on Friday.

See the Nancy Grace interview below:
 

 

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 authorities at 510-238-3641 or dial 911.

    They need to check the cameras on the traffic lights. If they zoom in they could see if the child was in there before he went to the shoe store or see if they see the same vehicle following them each time he went to the shoe store.

    I BELIEVE THE FOSTER FATHER OF HASSANI CAMPBELL NEVER BROUGHT HIM IN HIS BMW TO THE STORE...HE DID SOMETHING TO HIM SOMEWHERE ELSE. THAT'S WHY HASSANI'S AUNT JENNIFER NEVER SAW THE BOY. ANYONE COULD MAKE UP A STORY LIKE THE FOSTER FATHER DID...I.E....AFTER HE WENT AROUND THE STORE TO GO INTO THE FRONT DOOR AND TELL THE AUNT TO GO OUTSIDE AND GET THE BOY. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT HE WAS EVER THERE. TOO SHORT A TIME FOR DISAPPEARANCE OR KIDNAP BY SOMEONE.

    I do not understand the lack of information about this case. What has been posted varies from story to story. Why is there so little interest in this child?

    This whole story doesnt add up. I was with the Chavez, from day one in the seach for Sandra Cantu, her story was headline news,it has been a week since lil Hassani has been gone, did anyone bother to ask Mr. Ross why when he was at pick a part (junk yard) hours before, he left Hassani un attended in car while he was walking around in junk yard... it seems to me that he leaves him in car a lot.... I saw how the pain of a mother missing thier child was in person, but for some reason these people are not showing it.

    Polygraph given earlier in the week and the results not revealed......then foster father questioned. The police know something more than they are telling. I too believe that the child was never at that store or the dogs would have had somewhat of a trail.
