Is the Isabel Celis Case Losing Public Interest?

The disappearance of Isabel Celis remains unsolved and it doesn't seem like investigators are interested in keeping the public posted on the progress of the case. Why is that? Could it be that they're keeping an eye on the missing Arizona girl's father Sergio Celis, who is still barred from seeing his own family? Could it be that they're silently gathering evidence and waiting for someone to come forward? Do they even believe the 6-year-old girl was abducted?

When Isabel Celis vanished in late April of this year it was immediately suspicious. It was that same old story of a child going missing from her bedroom in the middle of the night as her family slept -- not hearing any of the commotion. Oh, and there was certainly a commotion because among the 500 pages of evidence released by police, it was revealed that blood was found on the child's bedroom floor. So, given the idea that there was some sort of struggle, isn't it stupid to think that a family would not hear or know of any of this? Think. Think. Think!

It's been nearly a month since police acknowledged that there are suspects in this case, but they've never revealed just who these suspects are. Police admit that the amount of leads coming in have dwindled, which isn't faring well in this case. Without their frequent updates the public interest in this case may disappear entirely.

Such a sad case of bad detective work!! Should have called in San Diego detectives who have a confident group of amazing detectives who "get it done" and find these missing with intelligence, unlike this group of bungling LE's!! Unbelievable that this case will probably never be solved because of early investigation foolish mistakes! This poor child never had a chance because they blew it, she deserves so much more!!!! Disgraceful!!!!

I was one of the people that reported a possible siting of little Isa. I was inches from her but a fence divided us, I smiled at her and she just stared at me. She was with a slim Mexican looking man around about early 30's or late 20's, a blonde girl around 10 and a heavy set white lady around in her 30's or early 40's with dyed black wavy hair, shoulder length. I saw them doing laundry in our Apt complex laundry room, I have never seen them here before and I haven't seen them again. I called the tip line and the police...weeks later they called me back. The worst part...our complex has 24 hour surveillance that would have caught it all. I told them that when I called. They looked into it after the tapes were deleted. The thing that kills me now is that I should have called 911, little did I know they weren't gonna come and check it out ASAP. Also, this report of "false" siting was quite awhile after my call...was there another tip other then mine from San DIego?

I will always regret not calling 911 or jumping the fence and grabbing her and explaining later if it wasn't her. :-(

It doesn't seem like much is happening in this case anymore.

while there could be incompetence,it could also be that LE is smarter than us by half.Dollars to donuts they know damn well it aint an abduction,and as time goes by it's somewhat obvious what occured.At first I thought the neighbor's hearing voices was insignificant,but I think we can guess whose voices,and why.And the cops-they can guess it too.It's up to a prosecutor-just my guess.Wish they could plant bugs in houses because there'd be so much to hear,and not just in THIS case.
