7 nov 1988 anni - Police spoke to social workers and went to the boarding house asking about Montoya

Descrizione:

In November 1988, defendant gave "a couple of sleepin' pills" to one of her tenants at his request. These "pills" turned out to be flurazepam. On November 7, 1988, a police officer spoke with one of the social workers and then came to 1426 F Street inquiring about Montoya. Defendant told the police officer that Montoya had been in Mexico visiting relatives for two months and had returned from Mexico just three days earlier. According to defendant, Montoya's brother-in-law had taken Montoya away the pevious day. Defendant told the officer that he could check with the other residents at 1426 F Street to confirm her story. Defendant had asked one of her tenants to lie to the police and say that he had seen Montoya a few days earlier. She said she would "make it worth [his] while" if he lied for her. The officer spoke to two of the residents. The resident defendant had asked to lie for her told the police this lie, but he showed the police officer a piece of paper on which he had written that he was lying. He later met the police officer a couple of blocks away and told him that he had not seen Montoya recently. Defendant asked Donald Anthony, one of the inmates who had been working in her yard, to call the soical worker who had been looking for Montoya and tell her that he was Montoya's brother-in-law and was taking Montoya to Utah. Anthony did so. Defendant also had Anthony mail a letter to the social worker from Reno, Nevada which contained the same story. When the police arrived and began digging in defendant's yard on November 11, 1988, defendant told Anthony to tell the police that "I hadn't laid cement there and that I only worked outside."

The social worker received a telephone call from a man calling himself "Michel Obergone" and claiming to be Montoya's brother-in-law. This man told the social worker that he had picked up Montoya at 1426 F Street and was taking him to "Shreveport, Utah" to live with his family. The social worker's suspicions were aroused by obvious inconsistencies in this man story. She asked to speak with Montoya. The man said Montoya was "under the weather" and he refused to give the social worker any number at which he cold be reached. After this conversation concluded, the social worker retrieved her phone messages and listened to one from the same man in which he first identified himself as Donald Anthony and then as "Michel Obergone." The message gave a similar story about Montoya's whereabouts. The social worker called defendant and related this to her. Defendant said that Montoya's brother-in-law had taken Montoya away with him. The social worker told defendant that she was going to call the police. On November 10 the social worker received a letter which purported to be from "Michel Obergone." She notified the police and, the next morning, she delivered this letter to Detective John Cabrera of the Sacramento Police Department.
