SAN DIEGO -- Sunday marked exactly two years since 2-year-old Jahi Turner disappeared from a Golden Hill area park, 10News reported.
Jahi's stepfather, Tieray Jones, told police that he left the boy alone at the playground for 15 minutes while he went to get a drink from a vending machine on April 25. Jones claims that Jahi was gone when he returned.Private investigator Bill Garcia was a driving force behind the search for Jahi and said he believed Tieray and Jahi's mother, Tameka Jones' story. However, he is doubtful now."I think they were putting a good face on it -- the best face they could given the circumstances. I believe Tameka does know what occured. I do beleive that she knows what happened," private investigator Bill Garcia said.Garcia said Tieray and Tameka have since split up and Jones is now living out of the state.
