#StillMissing Duke Flores, 6, Apple Valley, CA.
5/20/19
VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — The search to recover the body of 6-year-old Duke Flores at a landfill has entered the fourth week.
On Monday, May 20th at 8:30 am, Homicide detectives, 5 Sheriff’s Department volunteers, 2 search dogs, 6 additional Sheriff’s Department employees, and personnel from the landfill will continue to sift through 1200 tons of material in hopes of finding Duke.
Following investigative leads, detectives believe that Duke was placed in a dumpster that was unloaded at Victorville landfill located at 18600 Stoddard Wells Road.
Duke Flores was first reported missing to authorities by his mom 29-year-old Jackee Contreras, on April 25, 2019.
Police responded to his family residence in the 22000 block of Cherokee Avenue and were told by Jackee Contreras that Duke had not been seen for approximately two weeks.
Authorities initially arrested his mom on child neglect charges for her delay in reporting Duke missing. However, her charges were later changed to include murder after investigators determined she was one of two people responsible for the death of her son.
Two days later on April 27th Duke’s aunt, Jennifer Contreras, was interviewed by investigators and also arrested for murder.
The twin sisters appeared in court on April 30th where they both pleaded not guilty. The women are scheduled to appear in court on July 6, 2019.
Sheriffs officials have not released any new details into the ongoing murder investigation.

SAN JOSE — The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office on Monday identified a man found dead near San Jose State University last week as John Hasner, 63, of San Jose.
Officers found Hasner lying between the street and the sidewalk about 8:40 a.m. on May 17 while responding to a report of a “possible dead body” in the area of E. San Antonio Street at S. 11th Street, according to San Jose police Officer Gina Tepoorten.
Hasner’s cause of death is pending, but in a statement last week, police said the circumstances surrounding the incident did not appear suspicious or the result of a homicide.
Police originally said Hasner was 75 years old, but the coroner’s office confirmed he was 63.

Our condolences to the loved-ones of 54 year old Satwant Singh Bains.
5/20/19
5/20/19 - The Merced County Sheriff's Office has confirmed that they have recovered the body of 54 year old Satwant Singh Bains from the Delta-Mendota Canal, a short distance from where his truck was discovered. Anyone with information on this death investigation should contact the Merced County Sheriff's Office at (209) 385-7445.
5/15/19 - Detectives with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office need the public’s help to find 54 year old Satwant Singh Bains of Fowler. Mr. Bains is diabetic and may be in need of medication. Around 5:00 am on May 15th, officers with the California Highway Patrol responded to Interstate 5 and Whitworth Road, which is just northwest of Los Banos. Officers received a report of a big rig truck pulling a refrigeration trailer idle on the freeway, partially blocking the northbound right lane. Officers discovered the truck’s engine running and the doors were unlocked with no one inside. Officers found a cell phone and wallet inside the truck belonging to Satwant Bains. Officers checked the immediate area and could not find Bains. His truck and trailer were towed away to a storage area. Officers contacted Bains’ family and informed them of the situation. Due to Bains being a Fowler resident, his family filed a missing persons report later in the day with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office. Bains was reportedly hauling a load to Fairfield (northern California). Family members say it is out of character for Bains to vanish without telling anyone.
The Merced County Sheriff’s Office was made aware of the case and has completed a thorough check of the area the truck was found. The CHP helicopter (H-40) also assisted on the search and there was no sign of Mr. Bains. Our office continues to work with these agencies to try and find him.
Bains is 5’8”, 230 lbs. with brown eyes and black hair. He has a mustache and goatee. He also has a tattoo of a small cross on the back of his right hand.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office at (559) 600-3111. You may also call Detective Jeff Kertson at (559) 600-8144 or Valley Crime Stoppers at (559) 498-7867. Please reference case # 19-6289.

The crimes took place about 11:15 a.m. Wednesday at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and San Pedro Street, as well as about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday at a McDonald’s restaurant at Olympic Boulevard and Central Avenue, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a written statement.

The child was with family members at the time, police said. A witness intervened and the woman ran off.
A similar incident took place Wednesday at the McDonald’s, officials said.
“The suspect approached and carried the victim,” the statement said. “The suspect attempted to enter a parked vehicle with the victim but was stopped by a witness.”
