The family traveled by train to Glendale to visit June Robles' grandmother and other. Her father, Fernando, also claims that June is doing very well since her rescue from the shallow pit she had been imprisoned in in the desert, having gained eight pounds. All questions June was asked concerning the kidnapping were answered with "I don't know." A similar photograph with June Robles wearing the same dress appears with the article, "Robles Girl Visits Here," Los Angeles Times, 26 May 1934: A1. Text from negative sleeve: Robles, June. Kidnap Case 1934. Text from newspaper caption for similar photograph: June Robles Frolicking With Father June Robles, Arizona kidnap victim, proved, when she arrived in Glendale yesterday to visit her grandmother and other relatives, that despite her harrowing desert experience she still enjoys riding piggy-back on the shoulders of her father, Ferdinand Robles.
