Baby Gabriel Investigator Jay J Armes Puts Heavyweight Investigative Team Together

The world's most famous private investigator Jay J. Armes has just taken on another high-profile investigation- that of missing eight-month-old Gabriel Johnson, who was last seen on December 26 2009, with his mother, in San Antonio Texas. The mother, Elizabeth Johnson, is sitting in a Phoenix Arizona jail on four felony charges including child abuse and kidnapping. The father, Logan McQueary, plans to follow Johnson's kidnapping road trip from Tempe Arizona to San Antonio Texas. But on the way, he will stop in the border town of El Paso to visit Jay J. Armes, whose agency is The Investigators.

Jay J. Armes, who takes on both domestic and international cases, has forty years and thousands of cases under his experiential belt. When I spoke with Armes today in a phone interview, he told me that he has brought in three other prominent investigators to search for missing Baby Gabriel. Along with Logan Clark of California, Armes named Texas-based Ralph Thomas of Austin and Bill Dear of Houston. Among the four investigators are 135 years of illustrious experience. Armes believes Baby Gabriel is alive and says he'll find him. He said that since he took Baby Gabriel's case, people have been calling his office with tips. "We are going to look at everything," Armes said.

Among the many leads that Armes and his investigative team will look at is the Wisconsin woman, Beth, who posted on the Internet that she adopted a baby Gabriel in San Antonio, Texas. When called on it, she said the baby was two weeks old- a statement that Armes questions. But Armes' main focus seems to be in the subject that he raised next- underground adoption and baby brokers. "They sell the kids in Mexico," said Armes, who has recovered over 100 kidnapped children. He added that human traffickers get '$25,000 and up for a kid'. Armes raised the subject of Jack and Tammi Smith. He stated, "It's odd that the Smiths [tried to] adopt a child who then becomes missing."

Armes said that his investigative approach is to piece together the puzzle and to follow all leads. He said a difference lies between law enforcement's approach and his. "Whether police, FBI, or CIA- we work a little differently from law enforcement toward successful results," said Armes. The world's most famous investigator believes he will find Baby Gabriel. "We're going to do this, with the Lord's Will," said Armes. UPDATE February 4- Jay J. Armes has brought his son on board, Jay J. Armes III, who has been an International Private Investigator for twenty-three years.

Jay J. Armes is a kind man who is easy to talk with. His openness to people and to all possibilities both contribute to his success in solving cases. Two of Armes' most famous cases were the Christian Brando kidnapping and the Heath Candy heir's murder of an ex-girlfriend.

Christian Brando Kidnapping. In 1972, Marlon Brando and his wife Anna Kashfi were embroiled in a thirteen-year child custody fight over their son Christian Brando, then 13. While Brando was filming on location, Christian was kidnapped and taken to Mexico where he was held for ransom. Armes and his investigative team tracked down Christian. "We apprehended the kidnappers and returned Christian to Marlon Brando," said Armes.

Heath Candy Heir Murder. Armes told me how in 1991, he rounded up Donald J. Weber, then 30, who was heir to the Heath Candy fortune. Weber shot ex-girlfriend Lynda Singshinsuk, a medical student at Chicago's Northwestern University (NU). "Donald Weber murdered Lynda Singshinsuk and then ran away to Thailand, where there is no extradition," said Armes. The private investigator traced Weber in Thailand, learned from Weber where the body was buried, and talked Weber into voluntarily returning to the U.S.

When I asked how he obtained Weber's acquiescence, Armes said he told Weber that Singshinsuk's family wanted to sue NU for $20 million but they needed corpus delicti- proof of their daughter's murder. And the best proof would be a body. Armes told Weber that he would be 'left out of it [there would be no police]' if he would come to the U.S. and show where the body was. Weber agreed.

Once in the U.S., Armes and Weber dug up Singshinsuk's body, which was buried in a forest near Flagstaff, in Arizona. Weber did not know he was under surveillance. Law enforcement showed up and arrested Weber. Armes told me that he was kept on the witness stand for several hours- law enforcement wanted to know how he had gotten Weber to return from Thailand when there is no extradition law there.
