Nearly 90 Days Later, Jurisdictional Records Still Do Not Match LA County’s Allegations

It has now been nearly 90 days since Los Angeles County filed felony charges against Giselle Smiel.
Yet San Diego County — the jurisdiction where both events occurred — recorded neither incident as a criminal matter.


The Public Deserves Answers

How can a mother be criminally prosecuted for a kidnapping that San Diego itself says never occurred?

These official records demand immediate review, transparency, and accountability.
