this case is not closed yet! nor should it be.
The Houston Police Department is asking the Texas Attorney General's office to keep recordings of 911 calls in the Jonathan Foster case, secret.
According to Jeff Monk of HPD's Open Records division, the department is exercising its right to have the recordings kept from the public because they are a part of a pending criminal investigation.
"We do that on any case that is active," Monk said.
The burned remains of 12-year-old Jonathan Foster were found on Dec. 28, four days after the boy disappeared from his Garden Oaks home.
A 44-year-old maintenance worker, Mona Nelson, has been charged with murder in Jonathan's death. She is a friend of Jonathan's mother's roommate.
The Houston Chronicle, on Jan. 6, asked for copies of any recordings of calls "for response" to the boy's home from Dec 1-25, 2010.
That request was forwarded on Jan. 21 to the Texas Attorney General's office for a ruling.
