Arrest Made in Case of Missing California Girl By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: February 28, 2010
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Authorities say a registered sex offender has been arrested in the disappearance of a missing suburban San Diego teenager.
San Diego County Sheriff William Gore tells The Associated Press that 30-year-old John Albert Gardner of Riverside County was arrested Sunday afternoon. He says investigators suspect Gardner is tied to the disappearance of 17-year-old Chelsea King of Poway, who went for a run on Thursday and didn't return.
Gore says investigators linked Gardner to the crime through physical evidence recovered by investigators searching Rancho Bernardo Community Park, where King vanished. He wouldn't elaborate on the evidence.

We’re all just sick of this crap. These pedophiles have to be locked up for life. It’s the same in every state.
Local FOX and other staions have local news on at 10
No Cure for Sex offinders. Letting them out
is like letting lose a rabid dog only worse
No, it is the Liberal laws.
I worked on too many cases like this with the S.D. County Attys
Right, Fox TV news is an hour earlier than the others.
I doubt I’ll make it another hour. Very cold here.
I want to get bundled-up soon. :)
Ask the Moose-limbs to send their video back to us.
Cheers!
I have a serious problem with the rationale of “registered sex offenders”. If they are dangerous, keep them locked up, if not, let them be. This sounds like a case of someone who should have still been in jail.
Amber was from Escondido. Same general area.
Won’t be surprised if it turns out Gardner is guilty of abducting both girls, attacking the jogger and others.
No need to waste the airfare.
Vigilante justice could easily be rendered locally.
off subject
remember looking for the big waves yesterday.
Look at this today at Mission Beach

Lovely! I don’t want to post my former address on Ocean Front Walk, but I must remember to show you the photos I have from the big storm in ‘82 when the surf rose above the street sign and hit my third floor balcony! I think one of the pics at the link was taken right in front of my building. :)
.45 in the skull.
Poway is down there where Westerfield was ....
a monster attacking smaller human beings.....what a big man he is.....
You’re right, Cherry.
He was arrested outside of Hernandez Hideaway off of Del Dios Hwy, based on the street locations the police provided.
This whole thing makes me sick...prayers for Chelsea, her family and friends.
Thanks for the information.
I echo your comments and prayers. There are too few happy endings. So sad and sickening.
I would see the cast of characters on the Westerfield.
Dozens of TV satelite trucks from NY, Court TV, etc.
6am the Today show cast from NY would be out front of Superior Count with cameras interviewing Asst DAs, etc.
Same on many other high profile cases.
