PHOENIX -- There seems to be a rift in the camp searching for baby Gabriel.

The attorney for Gabriel's father, Logan McQueary, sent a statement Tuesday night, distancing Gabriel's family from private investigator Jay J. Armes. Armes arrived in Phoenix last Monday night to attend Elizabeth Johnson's court hearing Tuesday morning, but Johnson refused to leave her jail cell and fired her public defender.

Now, McQueary's attorney Tim Maloney has released a statement that said, "Please be advised that Mr. Jay J. Armes is not authorized to speak on behalf of Mr. Logan McQueary. Mr. Armes has refused to return my client's property and continues to interfere with an ongoing police investigation."

Maloney went on to write that the McQuearys appreciate the work Armes has done, but request he turn over any other information or evidence to the San Antonio Police Department.
