Case Details:

Family members describe 5 year old Hasanni Campbell as a sweet, affectionate boy with intelligence beyond his years. For over a week, Hasanni's family, friends and police in Northern California have been looking for the boy, afflicted with cerebral palsy, after he went missing from a family member's car on Aug. 10, 2009 at approximately 4:15pm. He was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt and gray pants. Authorities say that Hasanni, his foster father, Louis Ross, and Hasanni's 1-year-old sister were headed to a shoe store, Shuz of Rockridge (6000 College Avenue) in Oakland, CA. Ross was at the shop to meet with Hasanni's aunt, who was going to take the children for the evening. Ross told police he left Hasanni in his late-model BMW while he took Haasanni's sister with him towards the shop. When he returned to the car, Hasanni was gone. Police say Hasanni suffers from cerebral palsy and has trouble walking. He uses leg braces to get around. Authorities have confiscated Ross' BMW and are now looking at Hasanni's Fremont, Calif. home for clues. Cops have also been searching fields and wetlands in nearby Hayward and Fremont. So far, they say there have been no substantial leads. Police say that the family have been cooperating with the investigation. The FBI has joined the search for the missing boy.
