LOS ANGELES – The search for a man suspected of kidnapping a 10-year-old girl from her Southern California home and sexually assaulting has extended
to Mexico after he was spotted crossing the border.
Police spokesman Kevin Maiberger said Friday that video showed Tobias Summers, 30, at the Tecate border crossing east of San Diego.
Police said the video was taken after the abduction, but will not release when it was recorded.
The Los Angeles Times reports Tijuana Police Department have distributed "wanted" posters with Summers' image, and police in the Baja California
cities of Tecate, Ensenada and Rosarito Beach have been put on alert.
In the video Summers was wearing a hat, Maiberger said.
Police believe Summers has shaved his head or has closely cropped hair.
The girl vanished from her Northridge home in the early morning hours of March 27. She was found about 12 hours later wandering near a Starbucks
several miles away.
Summers is charged with kidnapping, nearly three dozen counts of sexual assault and burglary. He's described as a transient with a criminal record
including convictions for burglary and grand theft.
An alleged accomplice is in custody. Daniel Martinez, 29, has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and burglary.
I truly hope they get this scum off the street ASAP.DENNIS - 4-6-2013 at 09:39 AM

A day will come where computers monitor faces heading southbound and an alarm goes off when a "hit" returns from a law enforcement database. The gate
will close and dude will be hauled off to jail to await trial.

Back in the day, sitting at a bar in Mex, you never
knew who you were sitting next to, wonder if
the Mex Law Enforcement gets any form of
reward for finding these guys? Wouldn't want to
run across this guy, bet he is a bit desperatedesertcpl - 4-6-2013 at 10:52 AM
No I don't think I would want to run across this guy either,
people like this are just sub human in my bookBajajorge - 4-6-2013 at 11:14 AM
Some folks on Facebook seem to think he is heading for San Felipe. Where this info comes from, I don't know.
Bajaguy, that tat on his arm will give him up for sure. I doubt if he'll be wearing long sleeve shirts much past the next week or so.DENNIS - 4-6-2013 at 12:56 PM

I think they're working on a dog that can smell DNA. In the meantime, it's the ojos:

Yep, you're right Dennis. But I would think other features of the face will be incorporated as well. Space between eyes. Distance from nose to
mouth........stuff like that. I know my computer can do this in my photo program. Pretty nuts!!!!
