Oakland Store Owner Calls For Help in Search for Hasanni Campbell
Created by Kimberlee Sakamoto on 8/25/2009 2:06:00 PM


OAKLAND (BCN) -- San Leandro business owner Sherri Miller says she's  looking for more businesses to step forward and help raise money to increase  the reward for information about Hasanni Campbell, a 5-year-old Fremont boy  who disappeared more than two weeks ago.

Oakland police and Crime Stoppers have announced a $10,000 reward  in the search for Hasanni, who was reported missing from the parking lot of  the Shuz of Rockridge shoe store in the 6000 block of College Avenue in  Oakland at about 4:15 p.m. on Aug. 10.

Hasanni's aunt and foster mother, Jennifer Campbell, works at the  store. His foster father, Louis Ross, was the last person to see Hasanni  alive, according to authorities.

Miller, who owns the All in One Stop store in San Leandro, said  she would like to increase the reward by at least $5,000, to a total of at  least $15,000.

She said she's planning to organize an auction to raise money but  is waiting for more businesses to donate items.

Miller said Highline Custom Jewelry in Hayward has donated a watch  worth $1,900 and Tone's Auto Detail in Oakland raised $650 at a car wash on  Saturday.

She said she's printed about 2,000 missing-persons fliers at her  shop and has also donated T-shirts to raise awareness about Hasanni's  disappearance.

In addition, Miller said a Web site, www.findhassani.com, is  expected to be up by Wednesday.

A vigil for Hasanni was held in the shoe store's parking lot  Monday night and Miller said vigils will be held there every Monday night  until the boy is found.

She said about two dozen people attended the vigil Monday night,  which she said was twice the number of people who showed up the previous  Monday night.

Miller said she got involved in the search for Hasanni after she  saw his foster parents on TV and noticed that they didn't have any T-shirts  with Hasanni's picture. She said her business makes business cards, banners  and custom clothes, including T-shirts.

Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason said today that police are  still searching for Hasanni but that there aren't any new developments in the  case.

People who want to donate items for the fundraising auction may  call Miller at (510) 276-9090.

People who have information about the case can call Crime Stoppers  at (510) 777-8572 or (510) 777-3211.

Louis is a man of Honor 
I have known Louis for about two years and I can guarantee you he is a man of honor. He would NEVER do anything inappropriate to ANYONE. I worked with him and his honor and morality were almost annoying. Morality meant everything to him. I know him well enough to know that he would NEVER do anything to a child or adult. He is the most honorable person I have ever known.
