Police Won’t Seek Clues for Boy in 2nd Landfill
Police Chief David Bejarano has decided against having officers search the massive Otay Mesa landfill for clues in the April 25 disappearance of 2-year-old Jahi Turner.
Bejarano said health officials warned that searchers would be vulnerable to disease from germs at the landfill. Also, he said there is no evidence that there are clues buried in the mounds of trash.
In May, police and others searched the city landfill at Miramar without success. The boy’s stepfather, Tieray Jones, 23, told police the child disappeared while left alone for several minutes at Balboa Park.
