Valley Springs, CA...The update items for today included that the canvassing has been completed and they are starting to results back from the evidence submitted to the crime lab. They could not go into details on what the results were but did confirm a result. There is starting to be a general sense that their investigation is moving along but they are being very careful to make sure all the I's are dotted and the T's crossed so when details of the case can be release it is solid. Today's video was shot tripodless so sorry for a bit of camera motion. Updated with official release...

Calaveras County, CA...With the hot summer weather rapidly approaching, you are probably preparing yourself for the heat. Maybe you have traded those winter clothes for shorts and flip flops? Or taken that big, too-warm comforter off the bed already. Basically doing whatever it is you can do to stay cool this summer. Perhaps you prefer to spend those hot summer days relaxing outside? A deck can provide the perfect spot to kick back, relax and soak up some of that natural vitamin D! But, maybe your deck needs some work after sitting through a long, wet winter. Or maybe you tell yourself every year that this is the summer you'll have a deck installed?
Valley Springs, CA....The 1:30pm briefing just concluded and they are about 50% completed with the area canvasing and dive teams have completed searching two nearby ponds for possible evidence. On a personal note the stress of this case is clearly visible on Sheriff's Dept personnel involved in the investigation. You know that the human tragedy balanced with what they know internally but cannot release yet is not an easy line to walk. Keep them in your thoughts. Following is the release for today...
Below are a few shots of the first couple of press conferences..not from today. As the press pool starts to thankfully shrink a bit it might be interesting to some of you what the pressure of a national story can bring to the area. The pictures below show about a third of the media trucks etc that were on hand. Virtually every TV Station in Northern California and CNN etc were on hand...

Valley Springs, CA...Caroline Frederica Garrison passed away at the age of 79, on Tuesday March 26, 2013, surrounded by love in her daughter's home in Valley Springs. She was born on December 5, 1933, in Monrovia, California, to Herbert McDuffy and Caroline Frederica (DeLong) Moore. Caroline was a very loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, auntie and friend. She was an inspiration to everyone she met with her warm sense of humor and kind giving spirit. She passed down a legacy of love throughout her family that will remain in our hearts forever, she will be sorely missed. She lived in Pleasant Hill for over 30 years, working in Real Estate and was a retiree of Bank of America. Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1999, she continued to work until 2004, retiring without missing a single day of work and never complaining about a thing, she was always "fine". She moved to Jackson in 2006 to be closer to family and to experience all the joys of becoming a great-grandmother...
