Search continues for boy swiped from grandmother's arms

A car pulled from a California canal Friday night was not the same vehicle a witness claimed he saw being driven into the water with a young boy trapped inside, the Stanislaus Sheriff's Department said Saturday.

Authorities are continuing to search the canal near the area where a 4-year-old boy was abducted earlier this week.

Police say Jose Esteban Rodriguez snatched Juliani Cardenas from his grandmother's arms Tuesday afternoon in the northern California town of Patterson.

Divers using sonar equipment were preparing to search the water Saturday, including one section of the 17-feet-deep canal that goes underground, said Raj Singh, a spokesman for the sheriff's department.

    This article was haphazardly put together, at best. It's confusing to me!

    I REALLY hope they find the poor kid alive and well, though.

    They will probably find several cars before they find the right one.

    Oops my bad; I read the entire article, and they are finding a TON of different cars down there!

    My next thought would be: why isn't the exact location that the "witness" saw the car being driven in being searched? I would hope that said witness called 911 immediately after seeing this...but that's just what I would do.

    Maybe they'll find Jimmy Hoffa!

    Most of all, I really hope they DON'T find young Juliani in the water, but alive and well.

    "Clearance Auto Insurance" will give you a break if you buy two or more types of insurance. You may also get a reduction if you have more than one vehicle insured with the same company.
