Here the quote from the Modesto Bee.
"The family had been using the Peterson home as a headquarters for the volunteer effort. Thursday(Dec 26th) afternoon, organizers moved the operation to the Red Lion Hotel on Sisk Road to give the family privacy and to offer a centralized location with more phone lines, said Rene Tomlinson, a friend of the family."
