SAN JOSE, Calif. -- As detectives and volunteers searched the San Jose area Sunday for a 9-year-old abducted from her home, police released video from a neighbor's home surveillance camera they say shows that the kidnapper specifically targeted the girl.\nThe images on the tape are grainy and at times hard to make out, but it clearly shows the attack was not a random residential burglary, said San Jose Police spokesman Steve Dixon.\n"The tape makes it very clear the he was targeting this house," Dixon said Sunday. "He wasn't roaming the neighborhood looking for a house to break into. He was there for quite some time, just waiting for this little girl to come home."\nJennette Tamayo was presumed to be with the man who brutally assaulted her mother and brother at their home before driving away with the girl Friday afternoon.\nThe video did not have any clear shots of the kidnapper's license plate or his face, but it does show the man waited in his car outside the house for about two hours until the girl returned home alone around 4:20 p.m. Friday, police said.\nJennette's mother and brother arrived home about fifteen minutes later and discovered the intruder, who attacked them.\nPolice said the tape shows the girl's mother, 31-year-old Rosalie Tamayo, running out of her home and screaming for help as a man sped off with the girl in the back seat of his car, crushing rose bushes along the way.\nThe mother and 15-year-old brother told police they did not recognize the intruder.\nPolice and county search and rescue teams and some 80 volunteers continued to search neighborhoods, creek beds and parks for any sign of the missing girl Sunday.\nPolice on Saturday released a sketch of the man, described as in his 30s to early 40s, from 5-feet-2 to 5-feet-5 inches. He was dark haired, unshaven, and wore a gray beanie and silver colored shirt, police said. He may have scratches on his face or arms from a struggle with Jennette's mother.\nDixon said police still had no immediate leads and no motive for the kidnapping.
