UPDATE II: Check out the TWITTER account for Sierra Lamar. Some one should have really been monitoring it.
UPDATE III: Police dogs have traced Sierra’s half mile long walk to her bus stop, but the trail goes cold beyond her driveway …
“We’ve flown most of these fields, as far as the eye can see in this direction, all the way up to the foothills on the west side as well,” said San Jose Sheriff Sgt. Brett Moore.
Working off her scent, police dogs have traced Sierra’s half mile long walk to her bus stop, but the trail goes cold beyond her driveway, suggesting she was picked up.
Investigators are mining her laptop for recent contacts.
UPDATE IV: For more updates and to read others comments, opinions and research regarding this case, go to Scared Monkeys Missing Persons Forum: Sierra Lamar.
UPDATE V: The police have found the cell phone of missing Sierra Lama about a mile away from her home in Morgan Hills, California. According to accounts, the phone was found Saturday evening. The Police have suspended their search in the areas near her home due to a lack of evidence. However, they will be focusing their attention on students at both her current high school and the previous school she attended.
Authorities say they found the cellphone of 15-year-old Sierra LaMar, a missing California teenager, late Saturday night on the side of a road about a mile away from her home in Morgan Hills, California. Public information officer Sgt. Jose Cordoza of the Santa Clara Sheriff’s Office said search and rescue personal found the phone turned off, and they are doing a forensic search for more clues. The charger for the cell phone was found in her room at home.
UPDATE VI: Missing Sierra Lamar’s father is a registered sex offender, are you kidding me? What are the odds that the father of a missing girl who many suspect may have been kidnapped by a predator has a dad who is a registered sex offender? Although the police claim that Steve Wayne Lamar is not a suspect and is cooperating in the disappearance of Sierra Lamar, however, the irony is chilling.
UPDATE VII: Investigators claim that the cell phone and computer provide no clues in the disappearance of Sierra Lamar.
UPDATE VIII: Police have located Sierra LaMar’s pink “Juicy” brand bag with clothes inside along the side of the road.

From the looks of her twitter account postings, she was pretty well advanced for her age of 15 years. She could have run away with a boyfriend or be caught up in something more serious. She talks of sex, how beautiful she is and that the last thing she wants to be is in school. She’d rather commit suicide then go to school. She may have left for the big life that I’m sure she thinks she’s going to find when she gets out from underneath her parents reign.
I sure hope they find her soon and bring her home safe. Too many missing kids out there.

She seems like a smart sweet girl with normal for her age online behavior. She was not as mature as she pretended to be online. She also did not seem to be a teen that was running around boy crazy and out all hours of the day and night. Up and getting ready for school at 6:00 a.m. Phone turned off at 9:30 p.m. and at home. Pretty strict rules by most teen standards. Rules that she seemed to adhere to without fail as far as I can see.I don’t believe for a second this is a runaway situation. None of her actions or postings indicate any intention to leave home. She would not have parted with her phone and purse easily or carelessly. Abduction.

Her online twitter account says it all. It speaks for itself. Go beyond what the media portrays this girl to be, and you will see WHY her phone was off at 930. She was into drugs and alcohol. She tweeted she’d probably be smarter if she wasn’t on drugs. She’s one of those girls who thinks she’s better than the rest. She’s pretty, but not the prettiest girl I’ve seen. She looks typical. She put herself out as a care-free girl. She seems like someone who would kick you if you were down, and laugh in your face if you hurt. Not saying she deserved anything bad, as nobody does, but if you put yourself out as a drunk and a druggie, act like a slut, and walk around with a ”JUICY” bag, are you not going to get the wrong attention. Maybe that’s why her mom made her turn her phone off at a certain time, not because she was well behaved. well behaved CHILDREN don’t have to turn their phones off. Who knows if she had the habit of sneaking out of her house, nobody knows that… But judging by her behaviors, I would deem that assumption safe. I think her behavior caught up with her. I think she willingly got in a car with someone, for either drugs before school, sex, who knows. But it quickly went sour. It doesn’t mention how she dressed, but by looking at her language and pics, for 15 she seemed tooooo high maintenance, most likely dressed inappropriately for her age on occasion. I don’t think someone was watching her movements, and kidnapped her from her driveway. Nobody heard screams? Wouldn’t she scream if someone was taking her against her will?? And didn’t the media say she left her house around 7-730… Not 6? no school in this country starts at 6… If she was leaving that early, I’d assume it was for other reasons than to get to school on time…. Because according to her tweets, she’d rather kill herself than go to school. Pardon the pun, but be careful what you wish for. Its too coincidental that the day before she says she’d rather die than go to school, and next day she just disappears??? Someone she knew picked her up. And why do they keep searching the water? If, IF the box that said handcuffs and two condoms belonged to this scenario, why would he bother to use condoms just to put get into water?? I’ve heard over and over that ” this may be an experienced offender” with an ”ocd”. Not exactly media. With all due respect, an experienced offender of any kind is NOT going to be sloppy, and leave evidence, especially a condom, which would leave his DNA. Moving on. If her bag was claimed to be found between a bush and a building, someone either has a good throw, and others must be colorblind to pink, because if IF this bag was thrown from a car, it wouldn’t be neatly between a bush and building. And the media says everything was neatly inside. I don’t think whoever put it there even looked inside. Wouldn’t this stranger try to rob her for any thing of value. Whoever she got in the car with KNEW she didn’t have money in that purse. But with that purse being an expense purse I’m assuming, one would think she may have money in it. But someone else didn’t bother checking, did they? Not someone with OCD, and not a stranger. Box labeled handcuffs may suggest OCD, but it may not have been the writing of the person to which she got into a car with. So with all that said, why would this person put her into a body of water. IF this person was carrels indeed and left obvious clues and evidence behind, that careless behavior would only say her body would be found in a semi-private area, covered partially, she wouldn’t be put under water, where she wouldn’t be found. If the trail of evidence suggests what I think, he’d want her to be found. And a body of water wouldn’t be the place. It doesn’t match up. It doesn’t make sense. A stranger wouldn’t have time to plan out. And if that purse and phone were found at the time they said it was found, people must be blind. How do you not see a PINK purse… And why wasn’t her phone broken. These items were placed the next day, or later on the same day. Common sense. Whoever did it, is smart, without a doubt. But dumb at the same time. Finger prints? Possibly. But I doubt whoever put these items where they were didn’t put gloves on before they ” placed” these items. Either she forcefully had to do it herself??? Or he came back and did it himself… As I said they seem placed. Seeing the Dad was registered as an offender, whoever is responsible maybe knew that and would hope he’d be blamed for it. And Dad seemed more upset than the Mom…hmmmm I believe this wasnt random. She was a foul mouthed, irrogant, drug and alcohol abusing, most likely, disobedient girl. I truly believe either she was set-up because her behavior caught up with her, or the Mom and boyfriend had something to do with it. Way too coincidental for someone who’d ”rather die than go to school”. Poor drama queen. Life is so hard when you gotta go to school. My heart goes out to the Father and rest of family. As for the Mother, when she actually produced ONE tear during her speeches on t.v, she’ll have my sympathy. Til then, she never appears grieving when she’s appeared on t.v and she had a few inconsistencies in her details as to where the bf was as in what time he left the house.

I hope nothing bad had happened to her. She is beautiful and there is a great possibility that if she didn’t ran away something terrible had happened. Lets pray for her safety!
