Patrick, the sheriff is looking for clues in this case. You should call them and let them know it’s not their case, and they should hand it over to RWC police. Amazing that the sheriff’s office doesn’t know where the city limits are.
The border between Redwood City and the county is on Woodside Road and most of the businesses on that side are in the unincorporated area. That’s why the sheriff responded rather than a Redwood City Police.
