Grant made increasingly frantic calls to Las Vegas, including to Todd, who claimed Foster had moved out.
Hoyt said more than one man, including Todd, has been questioned in connection with Foster's disappearance, but he couldn't reveal any details about the "ongoing investigation."
Grant said Foster will turn 24 on May 27 and that she "desperately hopes" to have positive news about her daughter's fate by then.

Mother won’t stop looking for her daughter

Glendene Grant’s daughter Jessie, who disappeared two years ago, originally travelled to Los Vegas to visit a friend.
She met a man she later became engaged to named Peter Todd, who is the last person known to have seen Foster before she disappeared.
Todd, who is a British citizen but lives in the Los Vegas area, claims to know nothing about Jessie’s disappearance. He is known to the police as an individual with no legal means of support but nevertheless owns real estate worth upwards of a million dollars, has several cars and dresses in expensive clothing and valuable jewelry. He and Jessie lived together for 10 months yet he failed to report her disappearance to police.
Todd told Grant that Jessie’s disappearance has ruined his life, but Grant isn’t impressed. The well-to-do Todd hasn’t put forth any effort toward helping her locate her daughter and has a local reputation for being a pimp, according to Grant. Jessie was living with him and his twin brother before she disappeared.
The brother, who is a teacher in middle school for young kids, moved out two weeks after Jessie disappeared but claims he has no information.
Foster was returning to Canada for a visit, and had informed her mother on March 28/06 that she was packed and ready to go.
She had paid for one month’s car insurance so she could take her car, stored in Kamloops, to drive with her sister to Calgary. However, she never made it home. She disappeared leaving behind her hair blower and makeup, two items her mother feels Jessie would never forget.
Grant says she learned that Todd showed up at his ex-wife’s house one night from the desert. He was dirty, carried a gun and had $30,000 cash on his person.
He sold his Mercedes shortly afterward in California, and the car was never checked for blood traces. Todd has a police record for spousal abuse ad his ex-wife has been arrested in the past on prostitution charges.
Jessie has also been hospitalized because of a beating before her disappearance.
Todd has recently contacted Grant to inquire if the DNA results were in yet. Another girl associated with him was also arrested five times on prostitution charges and disappeared.
Her burnt remains were found, but no one has been arrested on charges connected to her death.

Colleen is the only person who ever visited her in Las Vegas and the only person to meet Peter Todd and his twin broth James.
The brothers and Jessica lived together at 1009 Cornerstone Place, in North Las Vegas.
Curiously … James moved out of the house two weeks after Jessica Foster disappeared.
He says he knows nothing about what Peter did for a living, but some folks believe that he knows.
James is a school teacher in North Las Vegas, and one might think that lots of people around there are bothered by his close connection to what is possibly his brother’s suspicious, if not overtly criminal, behaviour.

Hubrechtsen's criminal record includes three convictions of soliciting or engaging in prostitution in Las Vegas in 2004. She was also charged with two counts of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, but the charges were dropped.
Grant says she doesn't know how Jessie befriended Hubrechtsen.
However, the mother says Hubrechtsen introduced Jessie to Peter Todd, who became Jessie's boyfriend in Las Vegas and is believed to be the last person to have seen her.
