SUICIDE: A PROBLEM IN CONTRA COSTA?

Our Rate Is Higher Than the State's 
Suicide Prevention
Gerold Loenicker, Rhonda James, and Contra Costa Mental Health Director Steven Grolnic-McClurg present the Suicide Strategic Plan to Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors

A two-year effort to develop better policy for addressing suicide in Contra Costa County culminated with the release of the Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan this month. The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the plan September 10th, during National Suicide Prevention Week. Gerold Loenicker, Prevention and Early Intervention Program Supervisor, addressed  the board and said,  "In many cases, suicide may be preventable if primary care providers effectively screen individuals who are at risk, on a routine basis, and provide links to the right resources."

Loenicker co-chaired the Suicide Prevention Committee with Contra Costa Crisis Center director Rhonda James. The committee analyzed data provided by the Coroner's Office to identify at-risk populations, common methods of suicide, and how to improve delivery of crisis-support and prevention services. Recommendations in the plan include increasing coordination between county systems and community service providers to minimize obstacles to receiving help, improving protocols for assessment, triage and warm hand-offs of at-risk people, and training about warning signs and effective prevention practices for healthcare providers and community "gatekeepers" such as teachers and the clergy. The committee includes Behavioral Health Services, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center & Health Centers, Contra Costa Crisis Center, John Muir Health, Kaiser Permanente, and other community based organizations, health care providers, and public agencies.Funding for this plan was provided through the Mental Health Services Act. Contra Costa's suicide rate is 10.9 per 100,000 in population, higher than the state average of 10.3 per 100,000.

Amber Swartz-Garcia - A

In 2015, I filed kidnapping police report with the Walnut Creek Police.  According to California Law there is no waiting period.  After years of battling for access to my legal access to my sons I began emailing FBI, State Attorney General and USDOJ.  

Between 2011 and 2016 I called Senators, Assembly Members and Police.  In 2017 the SAG charged Contra Costa District Attorney Mark Peterson with a felony.  Today I am still waiting who orchestrated the kidnapping of my sons, then totaled my car for the umpteenth time over 40 years.   
 
Reposted to Protect My Sons



The Pinole Police Department announced late Tuesday it has reopened a high profile missing child's case, citing in part, that new technology will allow them to better process age-old evidence.
The department said it no longer considers the 1988 disappearance of 7-year-old Amber Swartz Garcia closed. 

The department's decision also comes after Lea Duel, a family friend, started an online petition at Change.org last month asking authorities to reopen the case, which has more than 1,300 signatures.
"I'm ecstatic," Amber's mother, Kim Swartz told the Pinole City Council Tuesday evening. "Thank you. The whole conversation has changed.

Amber disappeared forever from her front yard while skipping rope on Savage Avenue on June 3, 1988.
In November 2007, convicted child molester and murderer Curtis Dean Anderson confessed to killing Amber. He told FBI agents he dumped her body off Highway 10 near Benson, Arizona. Anderson died a month later before he could be re-interviewed by Pinole investigators. And Amber's body was never found, and agents could never find corroborating proof that Anderson was the kidnapper.

Kim Swartz has never believed that confession; she reiterated to the city council that she'd rather have her daughter listed as a missing person forever than have the wrong person be fingered for it.

Even though a search of the area came up empty, on July 6, 2009 the Pinole Police Department and the FBI announced that the case was formally being closed based on Anderson's signed confession. Both agencies said they were confident that Anderson’s confession was truthful.

In the release announcing the case had been reopened, Pinole police said:
"No information or evidence has been received that would dispute the confession made by Curtis Dean Anderson. However, Amber Swartz has not been located and consequently, effective immediately, the Pinole Police Department is modifying the status of the Amber Swartz case from closed to open."
Investigators now say they hope reopening the case will bring out new tips that could give Amber's mom the closure she has been waiting for for more than 25 years.

Anyone with information regarding Amber’s disappearance, or location is encouraged to call the Pinole Police Department at 510-724-8950.

Richard I did a archive search for any news on her case.

I used the parameters of her first and last name. Nothing.

I used the same as above in quotation marks then I added missing.

There is one archived pay per view that popped up with her name under the link but I didn't pay to see the article. Although she isn't listed in the synopsis the article popped up so I think she might be named in the text of the article we can't see.

Here is a link to a Blog about Lisa Dickinson, disappearance. It contains a newspaper article and a long discussion/comment section about the case.
-------------------------------------------------

Here's a local kidnapping case you NEVER hear about. This happened 33-years ago, on September 5, 1976. 9-year-old Lisa Dickinson was taken from Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek.

Her bike was found in some bushes near the canal trail, but she hasn't been seen since.

The articles above are from the Oakland Tribune in 1976 (top), and one year after the kidnapping, in 1977 (bottom).

Here are some details about her disappearance....

Dickinson was last seen riding her bicycle in Walnut Creek, California at 7:00 p.m. on September 5, 1976.

She was en route from her home in the 100 block of Los Cerros to a nearby BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station at the time.She was supposed to return home by 8:00 p.m., but did not and has never been heard from again. Her parents reported her missing at 9:00 p.m.

Dickinson's bicycle was found in a grove of walnut trees at Heather Farms Park, near the Contra Costa Canal, three hours after she was last seen.A search of the canal turned up no clues as to her whereabouts, but witnesses said they had seen her at the park's entrance.

Dickinson is missing under suspicious circumstances and her case remains unsolved.One man was considered a suspect. He's been in prison for the past 30+ years for multiple rapes, but he has never been charged or even arrested for kidnapping Lisa.

At the time of her abduction, she was 4'10", 80-pounds with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a yellow t-shirt with an image of the cartoon character Snoopy printed on the front, she also had on blue shorts and white sandals.

Today, Lisa Dickinson would be 42-years-old.

Anybody who might know something about her disappearance is asked to call the Walnut Creek Police Department @ 925-935-6400.

Lisa took a shortcut through a park - I believe it's referred to as the canal trail, and her bike was found among some walnut trees. Do you know (1) was this a very heavily used trail and (2) is/was it heavily wooded?

Did LE suspect that Lisa had fallen into the canal?

It's surprising there wasn't more coverage of this.

Phillip Joseph Hughes, Jr. sounds like a really bad guy. I noticed that some of the women he possibly killed were in their teens, while there were a couple of 9 year olds. Although it's very possible he could have killed them all, a 9 year old usually tends to attract a different type of killer than teenaged women. It's possible we have more than one perp here.

Just a thought.

A quick check of newspaperarchive.com turned up 29 articles about Lisa from 9/7/76 to 9/2/77. This is a brief synopsis of what I could gather from these articles.

We know that Lisa was taken from the Heather Farm Park. Apparently the canal was in the process of being fenced and locked, but you could still gain access over a small bridge and through a fenced-off new subdivision to the north of the park.

There is a discrepancy about her bicycle. One article says it was found tossed in a walnut grove, another says it was leaning up against a tree. [To me that is an important distinction - if it was propped up, Lisa might have done that herself when she stopped to talk to someone. If it was tossed into a grove of trees, the perp might have done that to keep it from being found right away.]

Lisa was an only child.

Her parents (through her uncle) appealed to the public for any information about Lisa, offering a reward of $20,000 for her safe return or $3,000 for information as to where her body could be found. They asked the kidnapper to draw them a map and mail it to them. Obviously nothing came of this appeal.

In an article dated 9/2/77, Louis R. Fesquez is mentioned as being the prime suspect. At that time he was in prison sentenced to 27 years to life for crimes involving four young women in Contra Costa County. He was found guilty on 9 of 20 charges against him.

12/1/76 article - Fesquez was caught after a police chase. He had a 12 year old girl with him at the time - he'd kidnapped her a day earlier and raped her 5-6 times. At the time he abducted her, she was walking from her home to the county fairgrounds to feed her quarter horse that was stabled there.

Fesquez also alleged tried to entice two other girls into his car in to separate incidents.

Fesquez had an extensive record regarding sex crimes.

Now here is an interesting follow-up - a 12/10/76 article claims Lisa was possibly taken by someone on a motorcycle, and asked for any information from women/girls regarding a man identifying himself as a policeman, possibly a narcotics officer, showing a badge and/or handcuffs.

With that article coming on the heels of the arrest of Fesquez, I can't help but wonder if his M.O. was to approach young girls/women claiming to be an officer and asking them for help. Perhaps his victims even agreed to get on his motorcycle ostensibly to go to the police station for some purpose. (I am thinking of Ted Bundy - he used that ploy to get a woman into his car, claiming he was an officer and needed her to accompany him to the police station. She was the only known Bundy victim to escape alive). Three witnesses claim they saw a young girl matching Lisa's description ride off with a man on a motorcycle. She was wearing a helmet.

After this article, I can find nothing else about Fesquez in the archives. I'll do an internet search for him.

A quick check of Phillip Joseph Hughes, Jr. turned up nothing - I'll do an internet search on him too.

All that pay per view article said is:
"But, while Hughes has been cleared in some cases, he remains a person of interest in seven others : (one of which is Lisa Dickinson): Lisa Dickinson, 9, disappeared Sept. 5, 1976 while riding her bike from her home on Los Cerros Avenue in Walnut Creek toward Heather Farms Park. Her bike was found leaning against a tree inside the park, but the girl has never been found."

My mother says Lisa was her best friend when she was in elementary school. They went home from school together, played together, and my mother even had a bear she named Lisa right before she went missing. She was very sad to learn that they still have not found Lisa. They were both only children and their birthdays are only days apart. Walnut Creek is not an unsafe neighborhood. In fact its one of the safer towns of Contra Costa. My mother does say she remembers my grandmother telling her not to play by the canal. And after Lisa's disappearance my mother says her and her friends were not allowed to go out by themselves. I've seen someone note that it seems unusual that she was out on her bike that late in the evening. Its actually not that peculiar in the 1970s, especially since it would still be light out in September and the heat would have died down by 7pm. It typically stays warm here through October. It does seem odd that her mother would have let her go to the BART station on her own. The BART stations have never been quite safe. I've heard of young women often last being seen at local BART stations. Even I have been offered a ride by a stranger at one. Another thing, if I remember correctly, is that Heather Farm Park is quite far from the BART station.

Walnut Creek only 25 mins from Antioch CA home of Phillip Garrido. This disappearance occured just a couple months before he kidnapped Kathrine Calloway in 1976. Just can't help but think that he is connected to at least some of the many missing girls in the general San Francisco area. Many, many young girls and teens over the years have just vanished from this area. Someone in that area has to at least be responsible for some of the missing girls. What are the odds that these abductions could all just be random? Wish I had the link but somewhere on one of these boards a list was compiled of all the girls missing from the SF area. I am amazed at the number and close locations of many of the young girls. Lisa Dickinson and Gayle Marks are two strange cases.:banghead:

Has anyone seen any recent news articles or feature stories on her case?
cornfed
10-18-2011, 03:39 AM
Richard-

Nothing recent on Lisa. I will say that I believe that Hughes is responsible. I'm not ruling out anything, but Hughes is in CDC for three murders. One of those was of Leticia Fagot, three houses down from Lisa's home, just a year prior. Although he went to the Fagot's house because his wife had suggested Leticia as a victim (they worked at the same bank), I believe that he was very familiar with the neighborhood from younger days.

There are circumstances which lead me to believe that Hughes is responsible for at least four other unsolved murders in the central CoCo County, probably more. Four I am certain of. Three based on publicized information, and one that I have not seen anything written on.

Kellay-

What motivated me to write on this thread is that it may happen in the not-too-distant future that I am able to devote a considerable amount of time to the research and investigation of this case. Should that come to pass, I would very much like to speak with you mother. I hope you continue to follow this thread in the coming months.

Maybe there's some of that, but there's also a big element of...I don't want to say helplessness, but of resignation. The internet didn't exist, cell phones didn't exist, even the big national television networks were mostly local. You didn't have any way to send out an Amber Alert. Teletype notices or phone calls to other police departments was about it, one at a time. You couldn't sit at a keyboard calling up articles from an archive; you had to sit in a library going through one newspaper at a time looking at physical clippings and hoping you'd stumble across something.

One thing that meant is that once you'd searched the canals and ponds and walnut grove, and checked out everybody you could think of who might have been involved, and followed up leads that didn't pan out -- you didn't really have anything left to do except wait to see if something turned up. You could try to disseminate the information, but it would take weeks, most likely. Occasionally something would go national, but not nearly the way it does today.

This case seems to have had quite a lot of attention, really.

            Cold Cases



The Walnut Creek Police Departments Investigations Bureau is responsible for the investigations of serious cases that occur in our city. Most of the serious cases are investigated and solved in a reasonable amount of time. Some serious cases lack significant information to be solved in a reasonable amount of time and eventually the case becomes cold. Most of these cases are classed “cold cases” which means they are currently open, serious crimes, have little evidence or leads to identify a suspect and have not been solved. Historically, cold cases are solved through the use of technological advances (for example DNA), the case is publicized which, causes more interest in the case, a person comes forward with new information, or a suspect eventually confesses.
The Walnut Creek Police Department has approximately a dozen cases that are classed as “cold cases.” In an effort to solve these cases the department will be posting summaries of the cases on their website and in press releases in an effort to develop leads and to possibly bring closure to the families of these victims.
If you have any additional information please contact the Walnut Creek Police Investigations Bureau at (925) 943-5844.

It includes a child illegally taken, held or hidden by a parent or non-parent family member (See California Penal Code Sections 277-280).

There is NO waiting period for reporting a person missing. All California police and sheriffs' departments must accept any report, including a report by telephone, of a missing person, including runaways, without delay and will give priority to the handling of the report.
Schools are part of the network to help find missing children, not only through notices required to be given to a public school district or private school within 10 days of a child's disappearance but also through use of our Missing Person Bulletin.
By making photographs of missing persons available, we seek to aid in the identification and recovery of missing persons. According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, one in six missing children are recovered as a direct result of someone recognizing their photo and notifying authorities. We also offer resources on this website for locating missing persons and safeguarding your children.
The following offers a summary of some of our programs. Further information is available by selecting the program categories on the right menu.

PENAL CODE 
SECTION 277-280 

277.  The following definitions apply for the purposes of this
chapter:
   (a) "Child" means a person under the age of 18 years.
   (b) "Court order" or "custody order" means a custody determination
decree, judgment, or order issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction, whether permanent or temporary, initial or modified,
that affects the custody or visitation of a child, issued in the
context of a custody proceeding. An order, once made, shall continue
in effect until it expires, is modified, is rescinded, or terminates
by operation of law.
   (c) "Custody proceeding" means a proceeding in which a custody
determination is an issue, including, but not limited to, an action
for dissolution or separation, dependency, guardianship, termination
of parental rights, adoption, paternity, except actions under Section
11350 or 11350.1 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, or protection
from domestic violence proceedings, including an emergency
protective order pursuant to Part 3 (commencing with Section 6240) of
Division 10 of the Family Code.

having a right to custody of a child.
   (e) A "right to custody" means the right to the physical care,

in Part 3 (commencing with Section 7600) of Division 12 of the Family
Code. Whenever a public agency takes protective custody or
jurisdiction of the care, custody, control, or conduct of a child by
statutory authority or court order, that agency is a lawful custodian
of the child and has a right to physical custody of the child. In
any subsequent placement of the child, the public agency continues to
be a lawful custodian with a right to physical custody of the child
until the public agency's right of custody is terminated by an order
of a court of competent jurisdiction or by operation of law.
   (f) In the absence of a court order to the contrary, a parent
loses his or her right to custody of the child to the other parent if
the parent having the right to custody is dead, is unable or refuses
to take the custody, or has abandoned his or her family. A natural
parent whose parental rights have been terminated by court order is
no longer a lawful custodian and no longer has a right to physical
custody.
   (g) "Keeps" or "withholds" means retains physical possession of a
child whether or not the child resists or objects.
   (h) "Visitation" means the time for access to the child allotted
to any person by court order.

of a parent.
   (j) "Domestic violence" means domestic violence as defined in
Section 6211 of the Family Code.

278.  Every person, not having a right to custody, who maliciously
takes, entices away, keeps, withholds, or conceals any child with the
intent to detain or conceal that child from a lawful custodian shall
be punished by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year,
a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or both that

ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or both that fine and imprisonment.



278.5.  (a) Every person who takes, entices away, keeps, withholds,
or conceals a child and maliciously deprives a lawful custodian of a
right to custody, or a person of a right to visitation, shall be
punished by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, a
fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or both that fine
and imprisonment, or by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of
Section 1170 for 16 months, or two or three years, a fine not
exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or both that fine and
imprisonment.
   (b) Nothing contained in this section limits the court's contempt
power.
   (c) A custody order obtained after the taking, enticing away,
keeping, withholding, or concealing of a child does not constitute a
defense to a crime charged under this section.




278.6.  (a) At the sentencing hearing following a conviction for a
violation of Section 278 or 278.5, or both, the court shall consider

concealed outside the United States.
   (5) The child has not been returned to the lawful custodian.
   (6) The defendant previously abducted or threatened to abduct the
child.
   (7) The defendant substantially altered the appearance or the name
of the child.
   (8) The defendant denied the child appropriate education during
the abduction.
   (9) The length of the abduction.

withholds, or conceals that child.
   (b) Section 278.5 does not apply to a person with a right to

harm, takes, entices away, keeps, withholds, or conceals that child.
"Emotional harm" includes having a parent who has committed domestic
violence against the parent who is taking, enticing away, keeping,
withholding, or concealing the child.
   (c) The person who takes, entices away, keeps, withholds, or
conceals a child shall do all of the following:
   (1) Within a reasonable time from the taking, enticing away,
keeping, withholding, or concealing, make a report to the office of
the district attorney of the county where the child resided before
the action. The report shall include the name of the person, the
current address and telephone number of the child and the person, and
the reasons the child was taken, enticed away, kept, withheld, or
concealed.
   (2) Within a reasonable time from the taking, enticing away,
keeping, withholding, or concealing, commence a custody proceeding in
a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the federal
Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act (Section 1738A, Title 28, United
States Code) or the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (Part 3

279.  A violation of Section 278 or 278.5 by a person who was not a
resident of, or present in, this state at the time of the alleged
offense is punishable in this state, whether the intent to commit the
offense is formed within or outside of this state, if any of the
following apply:
   (a) The child was a resident of, or present in, this state at the
time the child was taken, enticed away, kept, withheld, or concealed.
   (b) The child thereafter is found in this state.
   (c) A lawful custodian or a person with a right to visitation is a
resident of this state at the time the child was taken, enticed
away, kept, withheld, or concealed.



279.1.  The offenses enumerated in Sections 278 and 278.5 are
continuous in nature, and continue for as long as the minor child is
concealed or detained.


279.5.  When a person is arrested for an alleged violation of
Section 278 or 278.5, the court, in setting bail, shall take into
consideration whether the child has been returned to the lawful
custodian, and if not, shall consider whether there is an increased
risk that the child may not be returned, or the defendant may flee

endangered, abducted, or removed from the jurisdiction.
   (2) Obtain an emergency protective order pursuant to Part 3
(commencing with Section 6240) of Division 10 of the Family Code
ordering placement of the child with an interim custodian who agrees

   (d) Notwithstanding any other law, when a person is arrested for
an alleged violation of Section 278 or 278.5, the court shall, at the
time of the arraignment or thereafter, order that the child shall be
returned to the lawful custodian by or on a specific date, or that
the person show cause on that date why the child has not been
returned as ordered. If conflicting custodial orders exist within
this state, or between this state and a foreign state, the court
shall set a hearing within five court days to determine which court
has jurisdiction under the laws of this state and determine which
state has subject matter jurisdiction to issue a custodial order
under the laws of this state, the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction
Act (Part 3 (commencing with Section 3400) of Division 8 of the
Family Code), or federal law, if applicable. At the conclusion of the
hearing, or if the child has not been returned as ordered by the
court at the time of arraignment, the court shall enter an order as
to which custody order is valid and is to be enforced. If the child
has not been returned at the conclusion of the hearing, the court
shall set a date within a reasonable time by which the child shall be
returned to the lawful custodian, and order the defendant to comply
by this date, or to show cause on that date why he or she has not
returned the child as directed. The court shall only enforce its
order, or any subsequent orders for the return of the child, under
subdivision (a) of Section 1219 of the Code of Civil Procedure, to
ensure that the child is promptly placed with the lawful custodian.
An order adverse to either the prosecution or defense is reviewable
by a writ of mandate or prohibition addressed to the appropriate
court.


280.  Every person who willfully causes or permits the removal or
concealment of any child in violation of Section 8713, 8803, or 8910
of the Family Code shall be punished as follows:
   (a) By imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year if
the child is concealed within the county in which the adoption
proceeding is pending or in which the child has been placed for
adoption, or is removed from that county to a place within this
state.
   (b) By imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170,
or by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year, if
