My name is Craig Fair, Special Agent in Charge of San Francisco Division of the FBI.
First and foremost, I want to express my deepest condolences to Michaela’s family, who have been mourning her loss for so many years without closure or justice. I cannot imagine the pain you have gone through for the last 32 years, but I hope justice in this case can bring you a measure of peace. On behalf of all of the men and women of the FBI who have dedicated long hours to assist the Hayward Police Department with this investigation, I assure you that our thoughts have remained with your family, for many years. We are so sorry for your unimaginable loss.
On behalf of the FBI, I want to recognize the hard work of the Hayward Police Department and the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office on this case. The FBI was proud to work beside the Hayward Police Department for 32 years, providing any assistance necessary as they led this investigation. Over the years, we have provided agents to assist Hayward PD with interviews. Our Evidence Response Team and FBI Laboratory have assisted our partners in the processing and examination of evidence. Our professional support staff provided Hayward PD with a case management system and spent long hours manually entering every lead that Hayward PD received. We have stood by Hayward PD and supported them for more than three decades over the course of this investigation, because there is no case that deserves our attention and support more than the tragic disappearance of a child.
