Although she was later convicted in Arizona for custodial interference, Gabriel&#8217;s whereabouts remain unknown.<\/p>\n<p>Sandy Peters, Gabriel&#8217;s great aunt, expressed frustration over the lack of charges against Johnson in Bexar County, despite a recorded admission where Johnson claimed to have killed Gabriel, only to later retract it. &#8220;She&#8217;s in prison for years and never tells us anything. That&#8217;s what makes this so hard,&#8221; Peters said.<\/p>\n<p>A recent phone call has reignited hope for the family. The caller, connected to the missing child, revealed, &#8220;There are things Elizabeth told me that have been tormenting me for years. She told me she killed the baby. I really thought she was taking it to the grave.&#8221; However, when detectives traveled to Arizona, the individual denied the conversation, leaving the case unresolved.<\/p>\n<p>The family has urged the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) to transfer the case to the Texas Attorney General\u2019s Cold Case and Missing Persons\u2019 Unit. Peters noted, &#8220;The Attorney General&#8217;s Office&#8230; offered to do that in our case&#8230; but they wouldn&#8217;t let the Attorney General&#8217;s Office come in and help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SAPD stated, &#8220;He (Gabriel) is still missing. Leads are very few, but all are followed. The case is pending further investigation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adding a glimmer of hope, Lois Gibson, a former forensic artist for Houston PD, reviewed images of another child and found a striking resemblance to Gabriel&#8217;s father, Logan McQuery. Peters remarked, &#8220;The match between that child and Logan is uncanny. That gives us hope.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As Gabriel would now be 16 years old, his family continues to hold onto hope. Peters shared a heartfelt message: &#8220;Merry Christmas, Gabriel. If you\u2019re out there, know you\u2019re loved, you\u2019re missed, and we hope nothing but the best for you in your life.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO &#8211; New details have surfaced in the mysterious disappearance of Gabriel Johnson, a baby who vanished&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":476039,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-476038","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115794519343123063","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
