When the case was first reported, the dad was interviewed on tv. I absolutely believed him. He's kind of a weird looking bearded coot but absolutely believable anyway.

When the waitress who identified Shasta was interviewed on camera today, she said that she asked the little girl her name and the girl started to cry and said, "Shasta, and I want my Daddy." So there you have it.

Thank you for the info. Didn't see any of the televison coverage but did know that CDA is relatively small town & figured that LE had a 'read' on the dad and that figured into the equation. What with Brenda's run-ins with the law, Jessie's run-ins, local law enforcement is probably rather well acquainted with him.
