Police this afternoon drove off with David Slayter, 44, after searching his home at space No. 43 in the mobile home park where an 8-year-old Tracy girl went missing exactly a week ago.
FBI agents and Tracy detectives pulled items from Slayter's home in the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park and packed them into a white crime-scene truck. They towed two of the Slayters cars as well. A caravan of at least seven trucks and detectives’ cars pulled into the neighborhood shortly before 2 p.m. today.
Slayter voluntarily got in a police car about 15 minutes after investigators arrived, said Tracy police spokesman Lt. Jeremy Watney, but police declined to disclose where they went to talk.
Slayter was identified through a newspaper photograph that shows him and his wife, Debra, in front of their home, and another photo of the couple at a candlelight vigil.
Slayter’s name also comes up in an Internet search with an inactive Web site called www.moneymansvault.com, which indicates he lives at 812 W. Clover Road, No. 43, in Tracy.
But police have yet to identify Slayter, say why he was taken away or what role — if any — investigators think he might have had in the disappearance of Sandra. He has not been arrested or detained, Watney emphasized at a 3:30 press conference today.
The Tracy man lives with his wife, Debra Slayter, and a son. A missing-persons poster with a picture of second-grader Sandra Cantu was pasted on the Slayters’ front window. Sandra was last seen near her family’s home in the neighborhood around 4 p.m. on March 27.
Slayter was quoted in the Stockton Record expressing concern for the missing girl.
“I told her (Sandra), you’ve got to be careful with some adults,” he told a Record reporter Monday.
