Ernesto Gonzalez, father of missing Giovanni Gonzalez, is to be arraigned on new charges of Parental Kidnapping and Willfully Misleading Police tomorrow. He was indicted this afternoon by a grand jury in Essex on the new charges. If he is convicted he'll face up to eleven years in jail on these charges.

Ever since Giovanni went missing back on August 16th Ernesto has denied involvement (at least originally) but witnesses told police that they saw the two of them together on August 16th.

Back at the end of November Gonzalez confessed to having killed Giovanni but investigators don't believe his story and launched a new search for him two days after the confession.

Remember Giovanni Gonzalez? He's the other child who went missing this summer on the east coast. I've posted about him several times since his disappearance but although the circumstances are similar it didn't have all the same sex appeal of the Caylee Anthony story so hasn't been in the media all that much unfortunately.

He had a hearing earlier this week and Giovanni's mother Daisy Colon hoped that Ernesto Gonzalez would finally be helpful and tell where he is. No such luck. As a matter of fact motions were entered to drop all charges against Ernesto even though the boy has yet to be found and he wants all evidence found at his house suppressed. A hearing on the motions is scheduled for December 11th and his trial is to be held in January.

I've written a few posts about Giovanni Gonzalez and his family. He went missing over a month ago from his father's apartment and his mother Daisy Colon is heartbroken over the fact that he's still missing. The father, Ernesto is sitting in jail waiting on his November court date and says nothing to law enforcement or Daisy about Giovanni.

The only new information that I have in this update is the fact that the bloody mop that was found in his apartment did not have Giovanni's blood on it. Law Enforcement won't specify whose it is but my guess would be Ernesto's. When he was arrested he had a cut on his hand. The blood probably came from cleaning it up. 

Police, as well as Daisy, all believe that Giovanni is still alive but every day that she's apart from her son is a chore just to make it through.

The search for Giovanni Gonzalez is still going on but police haven't had any good leads yet that they have released to the public. This is another extremely sad ongoing story. I know his mother would like to know what happened and if there is a chance that he is still alive, for him to be found and returned safely to her.

Last week I mentioned that Clear Channel was donating space on a billboard to help further the search for Giovanni at the urging of a local teenager who just wanted to help. The billboard is up now and I'm told it's huge.

About the only thing new I've heard in the case is that the police are investigating whether or not Ernesto Gonzalez may have had help from an accomplice. The article I linked to is the third or fourth mention in the last couple of days of the fact that he may have had help, which doesn't make it true, but it is a recurring theme.

The search for Giovanni Gonzalez is still going on. He was reported missing on August 16th when his mom , Daisy Colon, went to pick him up from a weekend visit with his father Ernesto Gonzalez.

Gonzalez has basically refused to help police and won't tell anyone what happened to his son. He is currently being held on a $500,000 cash bail on charges of child endangerment.

Police are planning a new search for Giovanni but won't say when or where and they are also continuing to interview people and re-interviewing some others. They are hopeful that maybe they can get new information that was previously missed.

Clear Channel is donating one of it's billboards to aid in the search. A photo of Giovanni and his father will appear on it. The idea was 16-year-old Richard Yearwood, who said he wanted to do something to help, so he called Clear Channel Communications and asked them.

Giovanni's mother Daisy says that she is worried about him, and rightly so. She sleeps with his pillow, trying to keep him close and hoping he will come home.
