LE is going by the scent dogs failing to pick up a scent in the back lost where Hassani was in the parked car and allegedly taken. They picked up on his scent in the car, but not outside. Wouldn't there be no scent if they just pulled up next to the car and someone picked him up and placed him in a van?
I was rather astonished to hear someone from Oakland PD announce that they want more evidence so they can go arrest the step dad or step mom.
