YW San.  I don't know why puters freeze up just about the time we get ready to do something.  It' s happened to me too.  As always, it's great to see you, San.  Thanks for changing the thread.

And I agree with both of you.  I agree there are at least two people, possibly three involved in this.

I kept clicking back and forth and I went to click on my photobucket tab and that's when it froze for a few seconds and I had to wait.

Have a goodnight everyone.

Thanks San, it just makes sense to me. Just the terrain alone where this burial was done screams to me it was not an easy job. I saw the thickness of the slab of cement tonight on Nancy Grace, and what a large area it was. It makes no sense to me that the powder was just poured over her and water from the river poured on top. It just wouldn't end up that thick. I have worked with quikcrete before, and it you don't work it somewhat, there are pockets of dried concrete that never gets wet. This looked very solid and looked like it was not a quick job. I think there were more tools and something to mix it in. I am just hung up on the fact of what a horrible place and way to dispose of a child.

The bags being 90lbs makes a difference. The would be difficult to carry by one person especially if the slope on the bank is really steep as is being reported.  I am guessing at least two people to carry bags, shovel and child with  multiple trips.

I know Fanny...he/they thought the cement would work but it didn't, which begs me to ask if GK worked at a cement company wouldn't he know how to do it right? It's also reported that there was a peice of the chain link fence around the cement factory ( coincidently by Motel 7 ((GKs residence)) ) .

You know it could easily be one person if it were planned.  Hole dug, bags waiting all they needed was to bring down the child.  That would be even worse but it is possible that one person could have done this easily.

They are right at the scene, and say she was in the hole naked, her clothes and a Busch beer can were throwing in the hole with her. FBI have traced the beer can to a Hi-lite market in Monroe.  The guy was drinking beer while he was mixing the concrete?

IDK... I think if this was a "man/woman with a plan" they would have researched the area a bit more thoroughly, realized other people come down there to fish. They would have studied up on how to bury a body and make concrete that is solid, not shifty. I wonder how heavy the two rocks that were moved were? And what was the time frame really? The neighbor says Neveah left with mutha at 330-345. She was not reported missing until 6-630? What time was GK hauled into the cop shop or his buddy there? Neveah may have been killed and buried before LE even got the call.

The neighbour is the last adult.  But they still have the two kids, boy and girl that they interviewed that said they were playing with her in the parking lot.  I am not sure how they fit into the timeline, but I believe it was later that afternoon. Who knows though, stories are changing and reporting is all over the place.

It is confirmed that Nevaeh had no dental records as she was never to the dentist.  Deputies went to the apt. to get fingerprint evidence and according to the reporter the did not get any.

Thats just it NoRose. I think tomorrow I will start looking into that.... the child that came up to the apartment to tell mutha Neveaj was missing and the six yr old. I am thinking the eight yr old was the boy who didn't see those things he said he saw because his mom said Neveah's mom picked her up from their apartment......... ughhh, long nite I am off to bed,night all ::MonkeyConfused::

This whole case has been fishy from the very beginning.  I do not believe one word that mother says.  Here she goes on the radio defending her sick boyfriend, yet I have not seen her shed one tear, not one.  We can expect this kind of thing happening to our kids from now on and it's only going to get worse because the court system will not do anything to remedy this problem.  Since the public cannot take care of these sex offenders it's up to our government.  I'm telling ya, it's really going to come back to public hangings, rock throwing etc because I don't know how much longe the America people can tolerate this happening to our children.  My gosh, you cannot let your child go out the door of your house anymore without holding their hands and never taking your eyes off them.  I was three and four years old running around my neighborhood.  That was a long time ago, but you just can't do that now.

When I read what she said I take it in a different way then you. I don't beleive she meant that statement as she wished for her daughter to be dead, but rather she would find closure. 

Now, I have answered your question

How close can you drive up to the area? 90lbs  is very heavy, I have to carry 50lb bags of material we use and it is heavy and I am strong for a woman.

WTH???? This poor child. What kind of arsehole would to this? Such as lack of care, or consideration for this child. This tells me  this person did not know her or have a personal relationship with her. Throwing a beer can on her naked body as if saying, "Beep" you. How awful!

My God!!  I truly am at a loss for words right now... how on earth can someone be so evil?  I just don't understand at all.   

Well, if the person who did this really did drink that beer, then there will be DNA on the beer can!  I wonder if they can trace the date of purchase of that beer can and if the Hi-lite market has a video camera?

NEVAEH AMYAH BUCHANAN



(Photo source www.alternativehealthjournal.com)

Hey guys - this is NOT Neveah's picture!!!!

The news surce you got it from:
(http://www.alternativehealthjournal.com/article/nevaeh_buchanan_body_found/3461) must have gotten it mixed up within their missing children files. I noticed this pic & link were shown clear back on page 83 of the thread that has been closed, posted earlier today - - - I am just getting caught up on all of today's postings after work, & was going to comment on it being posted back there - but putting it up here is even worse!!! Yikes!

The pic you have shown here is the little girl who was abducted by a parent in southern CA - we were surmising that it might be the child of parole officer with the last name Espinosa who lives in Timothy Lawless' house in Folsom, CA. I have attached the comparative collage I did way back in the Timothy Lawless discussion area weeks ago . . . because I did this layout, I recognized this little girl. . .

Could we please get this changed right away?!? This is just so wrong on a number of levels to post a giant pic of someone else's child . . .

Thank you. (with all due respect)

Post by: Tams on June 06, 2009, 04:35:50 AM
Not sure if I explained that very well - - - the man named Espinosa in the pics above has been seen in pics with Melissa Huckaby (Myspace, maybe? Don't remember) - & was a part of the attempt to link Timothy Lawless with Melissa Huckaby via the fact that Lawless rents his Folsom residence to a parole officer whose last name is Espinosa . . . No idea where all of that theorizing went, as that thread has become waaaay too confusing & difficult to stay caught up with for me!

Please don't be upset with me for perhaps sounding too harsh in my post above - seeing the mistake just really made me gasp! I, too, only want to pursue justice for sweet baby Nevaeh - and have a great fondness and respect for all of the awsome monkeys here who want to help make that happen. Have really come to enjoy everyone here!

Goodnight, my dear monkeys - hope to see you on this weekend!

Thank you Tams. I thought the child in the photo looked older than Nevaeh. It certainly does look like her though...even down to tiny features...strange. I'll fix the front page photo and most likely delete posts relating to it. Will wait for Muffy to see what she thinks. I think it is strange there are not more photos out there of the child. I have only seen a couple...strange.

Navaeh's playmate's father said on the news that Navaeh was his son's best friend and that his son and her shared that day what was probably Navaeh's last meal....he said that was around 3 that afternoon....so we know that she was alive at that time....
so, how long had this child been outside by herself? we know that she ate dinner with this boy and his family, then the child came in and told mother <term used loosely> that Navaeh was in the road...at 6 6:30....? so that is at least 3 hrs that she probably was not supervised by her mother...it sounds like there were other kids also playing out...none of those parents were sitting outside with the kids? guess not or they would have seen something....

Morning MalteseMom and 6 guests! I think any man can carry the 90 lb bag of cement over his shoulder. After the hole was dug (could have been dug well before hand), set up a bucket to mix the cement, went back up to the trunk, got the child and finished the job. The beer can.... WONDERFUL!!!  Can you say DNA? This guy was a confident ass, tossing that in with the child was contempt on his part. Whether he wore gloves or not, his spit is on the can and he so perfectly preserved everything with cement, hairs, fibers, prints, shoe prints, everything! Oh yeah, we are going to see an arrest in this cage!!  ::MonkeyDance::

BTW does anyone else find this confusing with the JB, George, etc. from the Caylee thread?  ::MonkeyEek::

  ::MonkeyEek:: That's not possible, it just couldn't be. My God, did they clean down the apt with a fine tooth comb, and even then you can bet there would be a fingerprint. On a window, tv, somewhere  ::MonkeyConfused::

The beer can should have prints ..not sure about the DNA though.  Suppose it was a beer can the person found in the area and used to mix the cement..for the water.  But still it would have the prints.   Why in the world would you leave the beer can with Neveah if it had yur own DNA on it?  Why didn't they dispose of the beer can somewhere else or just throw it in the lake..makes no sense.

OMG I am watching the fox video and I am ill.

They are right at the scene, and say she was in the hole naked, her clothes and a Busch beer can were throwing in the hole with her. FBI have traced the beer can to a Hi-lite market in Monroe.  The guy was drinking beer while he was mixing the concrete?

Good Morning, I think. I was just catching up, and I feel I'm going to vomit after reading this  ::MonkeyNoNo::  ::MonkeyNoNo::

drinking a beer while mixing cement to hide a tiny child's body...now that is cold! pure and simple evil is this person!
an arrest soon...guaranteed!
and if he isn't already in jail, when he is found, I hope that the neighborhood takes things into their own hands and beats the crap outta him/her just like they did in that one neighborhood when an 11 yr old girl was raped...the "heroes" even collected a $10,000 reward!  beat the crap outta the rapist of that child....this is going to start happening more and more...people are sick of the perverts getting outta jail quick cards and are going to take care of the pervs themselves....I say bravo!

It is confirmed that Nevaeh had no dental records as she was never to the dentist.  Deputies went to the apt. to get fingerprint evidence and according to the reporter the did not get any.

Beides DNA ..wouldn't fingerprints be on her toothbrush , or comb or hairbrush?  How can a five year old live in a house and not leave a fingerprint behind?  That's just unheard of.

And how do LE know where the beer was bought? Is it like a store brand of beer? As you can see I don't drink beer, just curious how they know what store.

Yep Cookie that incident was in Philly.  The guy raped an 11 year old one morning on her way to school.  She could ID him..so when the bros in the hood saw the dude they pounced hard on him until the cops came.  And as far as I know no charges have been filed against them.  Nor in my opinion should they be..so he got a tad roughed up until the cops got there..better that then the neighborhood not responding or turning him in.  Yep we are going to see more of this in areas that are still like a real neighborhood...no body no where likes a pedo.

The father in the rape was on TV and said sometimes justice is "just-us." Street justice is sometimes all you get.

Usually, that's all the criminal will really get except a slap on the wrists by the courts. Sad but true. I am like you. I think this is going to happen more and more. It already is. But the courts will mostly persue the attackers worse that the perp.  Also, sad but true.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Good morning Monks. As you can see by my post count, I don't post often. I do find the beer can in with Naveah a little strange. Would it be possible the mother and one of her pedo friends did this and are using the beer can to point the finger at another person? It would be easy to keep a beer can from a party or whatever. I don't want to blame anyone or take up for a pedo, it just seems a little weird to leave that kind of evidence.

   Hi everyone!     I like that justice=just us       here's something that's been bugging me. Didn't mom say that Naveah came home to change clothes to go play upstairs? Why?  now I can see if somebody said "hey do you want tp go to the store, or the river' , but just to go upstairs, nah. I really think the mom is not telling the truth.

I tried to learn a lesson from the Tori case where the Mum was a suspect and was trashed by everyone. I am not sticking up for the girl's bio Mom, but what I am trying to say is that we are all getting our opinions on this case from the media. The media does get it WRONG sometimes when it comes to FACTS. I've read different times when the girl went missing, different times of the one we suspect's alibi, his GF alibi and just about everything.
Me, I think George should stay in jail forever, his gf should be there too and so should Jennifer. Just for being a RSO, being a gf of an RSO and the stupid thinking of the Bio Mom. An RSO that is the father figure / Why not the devil himself ? 
Jennifer knew of George's history and she still let him around her kiddo. Regardless of who, what, where and the why, that's enough for her to be charged with reckless child endangerment.

  KAT  you're right about the facts as we know them. I think there's just such an outrage that a mother would publicly voice support of a RSO, much less openly give him credit for being a father figure. All the rest, LE hopefully will sort out.

Hi Kat, I don't post over here much myself. In this case, though, I think Nevaeh's mom has done it to her own self with her inappropriate comments from the beginning. They were not taken out of context by the media. She started talking about her child in the past tense on day one, and then defending her "friends" instead of pleading for the return of her child.

But you are right, she should at least be in jail for knowingly allowing more than one RSO come in contact with her five yr old child. And the grandmother too, if she knew they were RSO's. I believe she did, as Jennifer's brother stated that he had raised hell with both of them about it.

Evidence Collected At River May Lead To Killer
UPDATED: 8:20 pm EDT June 5, 2009

Investigators returned to the steep river's edge Friday to look for more evidence.

The FBI said some type of cement was found on top of the body, which appeared to be buried in a shallow grave.

"It's a little more sophisticated than just dumping a body," said Andrew Arena, the lead FBI Investigator in the case,.

A key piece of evidence collected at the site is a 90-pound bag of cement.

Only a few stores in the area sell 90-pound bags of cement. The Kuhlman Cement Company, which is located behind the home of the person of interest George Kennedy, sells 90-pound bags of cement.

Also, it appears that the fence outside the cement company was recently cut.

Doug Blause from the Monroe ACE Hardware said investigators asked him Friday if he sold 90-pound bags of cement, but his hardware store sells only 60-pound bags.

Investigators continue to look at surveillance images at other hardware stores in the area.

Investigators said they found a glove near the scene, but they have not said what importance it may have to the case.

The discovery site is about 7 miles from the Charlotte Arms Apartment, where Nevaeh's mother said she was outside playing with a friend when she disappeared.

Investigators are also hoping that the autopsy will give the child's time of death. They can then match calls made and alibis around the time of the child's death.

Not only that, but why would you leave behind the empty cement bag, and if I missed it, sorry, did they say where around the remains the bag was found. On WS, someone local was saying that the cement place next to the hotel where George was living, somebody cut the fence. So let's say if it was George, maybe that was some of the blood found in his room, and on that fishing/hunting tool?  ::MonkeyConfused:: And if he is the one to have done this, his or whoever's blood might be on that fence.

Tori's case was awful, just awful how that poor mom was treated. Everyone critized everything she said and did, Such as her not crying.... a lot of lessons need to be learned just by that one case, in my opinion. I agree the media is not doing a good job of reporting this case and the rumor mill in Monroe is not helping matters.

I completely agree it is very disturbing how JB could bring Kennedy around her daughter and allow him to have a relationship with her. What an ingnorant and dangerous thing to do! Drugs have affected this person, to me that is obvious. If GK killed this child then the mom has some explaning to do, even if she wasn't involved. I think however you will find a SO which worked himself into her life to get to the child. manipulative *asterds! I don't think she should have been left to watch this child, not with the suspected drug abuse! But! just as many families in these threads have done, she left her child unattended, (I really wish people would stop doing that!) Think about it, most cases the child was alone or without adult supervision, walking alone, playing alone, playing with other children without an adult, even for a moment... Do we arrest every parent? Do we charge every parent? What is the cut off? Not trying to argue, just making my previous and continuous point of why this subject needs public awareness.

All so sickening. I just can't lose the feeling, that whoever did this, buried her and poured cement to make like a grave, so he/she could go back to relive what was done to Nevaeh.

DNA tested for match with Nevaeh
ASSOCIATED PRESS • June 6, 2009


MONROE -- Police and the family of a 5-year-old Monroe girl who disappeared nearly two weeks ago await official word that a body found by a river is hers.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department said in a release today that DNA from the body has been submitted to the Michigan State Police crime lab for comparison with samples from Nevaeh Buchanan. Results from an autopsy conducted Friday by the Wayne County medical examiner’s office are pending.


Authorities say they suspect the body, found in a shallow grave and covered with cement, is Navaeh’s. It was found with a shirt similar to one she was wearing when she disappeared May 24.


The body was discovered Thursday by a father and son fishing on the River Raisin in Monroe County’s Raisinville Township south of Detroit.

I wish I had some answers, I really do. My two daughters are grown, but I do keep watching the kids unattended in my neighborhood. It is a nice neighborhood, I guess because of that a person gets a false sense of security.

Pair of fishermen recount their grim find near river Raisin
Concrete covered body; autopsy results awaited
 
NEWPORT, Mich. - Lowell Kirk believes God took him and his stepson to the remote River Raisin bank where they found the body of a child who could be 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.

The night before he and Guy Bickley made the gruesome discovery, Mr. Kirk, 72, said he prayed that the little girl would be found.

"I believe this is what He wanted; for us to find her," Mr. Kirk, a former Newport resident who now lives in Cleveland, Tenn., said Friday. "Finding her was in His hands. I just asked that she be found."

Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said yesterday that he had "reasonable suspicion" that the body taken from the riverside was Nevaeh - because of similarities in age and gender.

Authorities said concrete covered the body in a shallow grave, but the body was not encased in the substance.

"In my opinion, it is a very sick or disturbed person [who did this]," Sheriff Crutchfield said of the perpetrator.
"We are looking for a person who was able to abduct and murder an innocent 5-year-old," the sheriff said.


An autopsy was scheduled to be performed yesterday at the Wayne County Medical Examiner's office in Detroit. Results have not been released.

Mr. Kirk, a retired auto worker, and Mr. Bickley, 51, a construction laborer, had been fishing for about 2 1/2 hours on the river bank Thursday when Mr. Bickley kicked loose the fresh concrete he had been standing on to discover a patch of a child's skin.

Monroe County Sheriff's detectives were called and they reached the popular fishing spot about 3 p.m., removing the body.

Nevaeh went missing May 24 from her North Macomb Street apartment in Monroe.

The girl, who would have started kindergarten at Hollywood Elementary School in September, was the focus of an intense search that began with an Amber Alert.

A task force of local, state, and federal investigators worked around the clock to locate the girl, taking phone calls at a command center, and checking into more than 1,000 leads and tips.

Authorities searched the Charlotte Arms apartments, where Nevaeh lived with her mother, Jennifer Buchanan, and grandmother, Sherry Buchanan, as well as adjacent woods and neighborhood, and hundreds of acres of rural Monroe County.

Divers and sonar were used to comb the bottom of a man-made lake and 105-acre quarry on South Dixie Highway, near the motel room of a convicted sex offender and friend of Jennifer Buchanan.

Mr. Bickley and Mr. Kirk, who are both avid anglers, had never fished that stretch of River Raisin before Thursday.

Mr. Bickley had eyed the spot many times as he drove back and forth from his home to Dundee, where his 15-year-old son attends school.

He took his stepfather, who made an impromptu visit on May 26, to test their luck.

The river at the bend near Dixon is three to four feet deep and about 30 feet wide, they said.

The pair had nearly caught their limit of crappie, sucker, and bullhead when Mr. Bickley said he used his shoe to loosen the concrete he had been standing on while casting from the bank. He said concrete covered about a 2 1/2-feet by about 1 1/2-feet area that was about a foot from the water.

"It was almost like somebody poured it and it leveled. It was very crudely applied. At least the top of it was," he said.

Both men said they had noticed an odor they believed was a decaying fish or animal. The more concrete Mr. Bickley took up, the worse the flies and odor got, they said.

"I was the one who was standing on her. What a terrible thing," Mr. Bickley said.

They said they immediately called 911 and waited about two hours for the sheriff's detectives to arrive. They left the scene and were interviewed later Thursday night by FBI agents and investigators.

With the recovery of the body, investigators turned their attention to combing the crime scene, about seven miles west of Monroe.

"Right now we are focusing on the crime scene," said FBI agent Andy Arena.

Sheriff Crutchfield said investigators returned to the site yesterday to search for evidence, including putting divers in the water. He said there was no obvious physical sign of trauma to the body.

Mr. Bickley said remnants of a fire were at the fishing area, which was below a steep bank.

Both men said they saw a partially burned latex surgical glove near it.

He also recalled seeing a dark colored, small pickup parked along the road when he drove past the area two days after Nevaeh was reported missing.

Neither Sheriff Crutchfield nor Mr. Arena would discuss any evidence that was recovered.

Yesterday, nearly 24 hours after he made the gruesome discovery, Mr. Bickley said the impact of what occurred was sinking in.

"It brings me to tears to think about it. I wish somebody else would have found her. I really do," he said.

"We all got kids. I kept thinking about mine. I don't want to see anything like this again."

Mr. Kirk agreed.

"It was hard. It is going to take awhile to get over it," he said.

NRCG, the mom was attacked for everything she said, she did, for not crying, for pretending to cry, for not knowing her daughter was gone, for drugs, for having press conferences, for not having press conferences, what she was wearing, what she was not wearing, for not picking up a dog, for having the dog picked up, every single thing this mom did it hit the rumor mill, there was even a facebook account calling for her arrest with hundreds of members!. ....Horrible how people can attack others without an ounce of compassion or facts! I about lost my mind over that case.

I have to go to work, AGAIN! 6th day in a row! I need a day off. I will "see" you all this evening.

several of you have posted you believe there were two or three people to dispose of the body, and I dont know how to say this, but wouldnt that be very strange for a SO to have a partner?  Or for any group of people to help dispose a childs body? 
I'm just wondering say if it is George and is girlfriend Savannah helped, in which way she helped I wouldn't know. But I have read rumors about her, and if true, lets just say, she isn't like a lot of women that would never be part of such a horrific thing. But in Tori's case, there was a man and woman. And Paul B and Karla H were also a team.

Sheriff says killer probably local
by Ray Kisonas , last modified June 06. 2009 1:15AM

Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said the person responsible for the death of Nevaeh Buchanan is probably a local person because the place where she was found buried is rural and not well-known.
"It’s someone who knows the area," the sheriff said Friday night. "In my mind, it’s someone from around here. I don’t think anyone would come up from Ohio or California and just come across this place."
The cause of death will not be available immediately, the sheriff said, because lab tests have to be completed. However the body, which was buried along the banks of the River Raisin off Dixon Rd., did not have any obvious signs of trauma, Sheriff Crutchfield said.
"There were no obvious injuries," he said.
Evidence had been collected at the scene, but the sheriff would not divulge details. He said tests must be completed before anything is determined. An autopsy was performed Friday at the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office.
"I wouldn’t expect anything from the autopsy for a couple of days," the sheriff said. "There’s a lot of analysis that needs to be done."
At a press conference Friday morning, the sheriff said the task force is continuing to follow more than 1,000 tips and leads in hopes that a suspect is developed soon.
"This is a sick and disturbed person we’re looking for," he told reporters. "(The task force) is a group that is committed to resolving this crime."
On Friday night, the site where fishermen discovered the body encased or covered with concrete was reopened. Although evidence had been recovered at the scene of the burial, a search of the river did not produce much success.
"We didn’t recover anything of value from the river," Sheriff Crutchfield said.
Although all indications are that the body found is Nevaeh, the sheriff said officials are waiting for DNA results to be 100 percent sure.
"It’s our opinion that this is Nevaeh," he said.
Funeral arrangements will not be decided until later, said The Rev. Dale Hayford of Crosswalk Community Church. Rev. Hayford said family members were "as good as can be expected" and a Sunday church service was planned for mourners.

Yes Always1... I agree. SO are like serials in that they do not like to share their victims. But also SO's have a "type" they prefer. GK was teens and the other guy raped a woman IIRC. Maybe one of them didn't ever get caught with a kid before, or his "taste"buds changed. There's just so much circumstantial that points to GK... he worked at the cement place that the bag came from, he had fishing tackle and admitted to fishing, and he had those toy motorcycles in his hotel room. Along with blood from who knows where...just all very odd. Yet he hooked up with that other SO and borrowed a van so who knows? I think it is possible for one person to have done all of this.

What's very horrible is the blood in George Kennedy's motel room. It wasn't Nevaeh's blood, but the girlfriend said it was her blood from tatoos. What's even weirder, is where Nevaeh's remains were found, Savannah's mother lives in that neighborhood. I don't know, and I'm not pointing fingers, but all this is just too much. Could someone have set George up? I sure hope LE makes a statement soon with an arrest.

"This is a sick and disturbed person we’re looking for," he told reporters. I know that officer keeps saying that, and of course, what other individual would you be looking for. But one thing I haven't seen, has any LE in any of their statements put out a warning to parents in the area that there is a dangerous murderer in and around the area, and be very careful with your children? If not, that says a lot to me.

Tori's accused killer on suicide watch
May 26, 2009
Cherri Greeno, and Record news services
RECORD STAFF; The Canadian Press

KITCHENER


The man accused of abducting and killing Victoria Stafford is in segregation and on suicide watch in a London jail, his Kitchener lawyer said yesterday.

"He's in a six by eight (foot) jail cell trying to survive," Hal Mattson said.

"That's what he's concentrating on right now."

Michael Rafferty, 28, was charged last week with first-degree murder and abduction in connection with the April 8 disappearance of Victoria 'Tori' Stafford. She was taken as she walked away from her Woodstock school.

Rafferty's girlfriend, Terri-Lynne McClintic, 18, is charged with abduction and being an accessory.

Crime
Timeline: The Bernardo/Homolka case
Last Updated June 25, 2008
CBC News


They were an attractive, seemingly normal couple, full of smiles in photos taken at their 1991 wedding in the Ontario town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. That happy façade made it all the harder for Canadians to accept the brutal crimes committed by Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.

Bernardo was convicted in 1995 of the kidnapping, raping and murdering of southern Ontario teenagers Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy. Homolka portrayed herself as the innocent victim of a murderous monster. She struck a deal with prosecutors (later dubbed the "deal with the devil") and pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the deaths in exchange for a 12-year prison sentence.

But videotapes of the crimes, found after the plea bargain, showed her to be a more active participant.

Public outrage about Homolka's sentence had barely cooled by the time of her extremely high-profile release from prison in 2005.

Throughout the years, Canadians have been riveted by the case. Books, TV specials, a controversial feature film movie and countless newspaper front pages have covered the crimes from every possible angle.

Yet despite all this coverage and the passing of years, many questions linger. Was Bernardo involved with other crimes? And what would have happened if the infamous videotapes had been in police custody earlier?

1 empty 90lb bag of concrete mix
1 Busch beer can
clothes she was wearing thrown in with her.

Other than the clothes the rest can truly all be garbage that had been in the area that are not related.  Either this person is a genius for having unrelated evidence around the area to throw off LE, or a complete moron as it is all connected and would have prints and DNA all over it.

Thank you Tamikosmom. In both of these cases the g/f's helped lure the children while their sick bf's got their kicks out of them.  Details are not know about Tori's case atm what the involvement of McClintic was after she lured Tori to Rafferty, however just the fact that she helped him find and obtained a victim for him is enough .

You are welcome.

Yes ... all is well with my family.  Thank you for asking.

I am busy right now cleaning my house for the second time from top to bottom.  Our property is being used for a family wedding on July 11th and ... I know my house will ... in all probability ... be something akin to "Grand Central Station".  I cannot have relatives thinking I am a slob who spend all day on the computer.

Tori's case was awful, just awful how that poor mom was treated. Everyone critized everything she said and did, Such as her not crying.... a lot of lessons need to be learned just by that one case, in my opinion. I agree the media is not doing a good job of reporting this case and the rumor mill in Monroe is not helping matters.

I completely agree it is very disturbing how JB could bring Kennedy around her daughter and allow him to have a relationship with her. What an ingnorant and dangerous thing to do! Drugs have affected this person, to me that is obvious. If GK killed this child then the mom has some explaning to do, even if she wasn't involved. I think however you will find a SO which worked himself into her life to get to the child. manipulative *asterds! I don't think she should have been left to watch this child, not with the suspected drug abuse! But! just as many families in these threads have done, she left her child unattended, (I really wish people would stop doing that!) Think about it, most cases the child was alone or without adult supervision, walking alone, playing alone, playing with other children without an adult, even for a moment... Do we arrest every parent? Do we charge every parent? What is the cut off? Not trying to argue, just making my previous and continuous point of why this subject needs public awareness.

In this case it is very clear that JB did not have custody of her own child so she had NO business taking care of Neveah unsupervised.  The fact that this girl had no problems exposing Neveah to KNOWN SO's is negligence & endangering the welfare of a minor.  By her own admittance JB stated that she didn't seem to have a problem with having Neveah around SO's & even called one a "father figure" this level of ignorance is unacceptable & it did break the law regarding his parole conditions - he is at fault for breaking it, she is at fault for allowing it repetitively.   What is even more hideous is she reported that she asked for the aid of a SO to help her find her "alleged" missing child, ridiculous!   What does she do while the whereabouts of Neveah are unknown, she admits failing a polygraph with lame excuses & then goes on a campaign to stand up for a SO, what is wrong with that picture!   Where was JB all day since she reported that Neveah was playing outside or at a friend's house ALL DAY?  You'd think someone that lost custody would be making an effort to appreciate & treasure any time she had instead of letting a 5 year old roam around unsupervised.   What was she doing instead of spending quality time with Neveah, drugging up?   Did JB work & appear to be trying to get her life together so she could participate in raising Neveah properly, NO.  Her reported drug abuse is another thing, no excuses parents should not be getting in a condition that alters their minds and/or can cause harm to minors, period.  Enough already with the excuses and empathy for addicts, they CHOSE to fudge up their lives, if they cannot be responsible for their actions, society needs to make sure they don't harm others in the process, especially children.    Where does the line cross, it crosses at this obvious level of gross negligence & wanton disregard for the safety & well-being of others.   We don't know if JB is responsible for Neveah's murder or cover up yet but child neglect & endangerment are established & it is outrageous.  Yes, she should be charged with at least that.

If the partially burned latex glove is connected why would you not throw the bag into the same fire?  Was there any evidence on the shore that there was a fire to get rid of evidence?  Were they rushed because someone was coming?  Is the glove even related or has someone else thrown their garbage out and it washed ashore?  One of the videos last night stated that divers were searching down the river by a bridge looking for something.  A shovel, weapon or the rest of the 6-pack...could be anything.  I think this case is going to take a few more strange turns before it is done.  Whether the beer can belonged to the people who buried her, or whether they found it there and threw it into the grave, it shows that they had no respect for Nevaeh at all.

Great post Capp. And if JB had nothing to do with this horrific murder, I don't see child endangerment and neglect charges being filed against her. I believe they should, and I believe many people will show their anger and feel that there should be charges. But watch it isn't going to happen. Child services was at that apt on more than one occasion, and nothing was done. I know that is talk/rumor but would not surprise me in the least. ::MonkeyNoNo::

I sure hope we find the answers to these questions soon. There was a fire by the shore, but have no idea if it is connected to this case, it could have been teens and a bonfire, but that would be an odd area to have a bonfire, but who knows. That beer can thrown into the grave with little Nevaeh, is just sickening, and I hope they get the prints off of it soon. Might have already, and are just getting things in order. The fact that Kennedy and Smith are in jail, and LE isn't tellling parents to keep a close eye on your kids, because a sadistic killer is on the loose, is telling.

I guess we have to remember that we are looking at cases with intelligence, that doesn't necessarily mean that perps have a level of intelligence to cover their crimes evidenced by how the majority do indeed get caught leaving something behind.   I do agree, you'd think since one or more persons went to this extent to cover a crime they would have made a better effort to get rid of evidence but it isnt shocking to me at the same time.   My gut is really leaning towards there were 2 involved in the cover up, maybe one committing the murder & one willing to help cover it up, the 90 lb bag of concrete tends to indicate that & the area was rather large, this could not have been done within moments not even by 2 monsters.

It is confirmed that Nevaeh had no dental records as she was never to the dentist.  Deputies went to the apt. to get fingerprint evidence and according to the reporter the did not get any.

How can a child live in a  house and not leave fingerprints?

Ok I listened to the link. They are not saying LE couldn't get prints from the house, just that Neveah had never had a fingerprint card made.

I think however you will find a SO which worked himself into her life to get to the child. manipulative *asterds! I don't think she should have been left to watch this child, not with the suspected drug abuse! But! just as many families in these threads have done, she left her child unattended, (I really wish people would stop doing that!) Think about it, most cases the child was alone or without adult supervision, walking alone, playing alone, playing with other children without an adult, even for a moment... Do we arrest every parent? Do we charge every parent? What is the cut off? Not trying to argue, just making my previous and continuous point of why this subject needs public awareness.

The telling thing to me in Jennifer's case is that she got on the radio and DEFENDED her RSO boyfriend,  and did not seem to have the same remorse over her own daughter nor did she protect her from them (plural).

It is confirmed that Nevaeh had no dental records as she was never to the dentist.  Deputies went to the apt. to get fingerprint evidence and according to the reporter the did not get any.

How can a child live in a  house and not leave fingerprints?



 ::MonkeyEek:: ::MonkeyEek:: ::MonkeyEek:: ::MonkeyShocked:: WHAT????????????????????? NOOOOOOOOOO WAYYYYY!!!!!!!! Something is rotten here....either that is misreporting or mommie dearest is involved in this up to her sunglasses.

Ok I listened to the link. They are not saying LE couldn't get prints from the house, just that Neveah had never had a fingerprint card made.
Thanks for clearing that up.  ::MonkeyCool::   (Kennedy, who is jailed on probation violations for simply being associated with a child, works with cement in the area where the body was found, according to the family's statements to WXYZ.)   And I'll tell you what else is getting to me, so there was an apparent fire near the remains of Nevaeh, and a partially burnt surgical glove.  Easter, that's the man that likes to have random fires and burn things in his yard, gee, I wonder?

Evidence Collected At River May Lead To Killer
UPDATED: 8:20 pm EDT June 5, 2009


A key piece of evidence collected at the site is a 90-pound bag of cement.

Only a few stores in the area sell 90-pound bags of cement. The Kuhlman Cement Company, which is located behind the home of the person of interest George Kennedy, sells 90-pound bags of cement.
Also, it appears that the fence outside the cement company was recently cut.

I'm just stunned by all this. Kennedy works with cement, lives next door to a cement company, and the little child's remains were under cement.

Mr. Bickley said remnants of a fire were at the fishing area, which was below a steep bank.

Both men said they saw a partially burned latex surgical glove near it.

He also recalled seeing a dark colored, small pickup parked along the road when he drove past the area two days after Nevaeh was reported missing.    I so wonder what kind of car Easter drives, the one who likes to burn things?

Good morning monkeys!

Well said, Capp, re: your post #85 above regarding JB's gross negligence. You worded that beautifully - and it reflects the thoughts I think so many of us have here.

Rosie - you make an extremely interesting point re: Easter's affinity for fires/burning evidence & the burnt glove  . . . certainly made me stop & say "hmmmmmmmm..............."!

Also: regarding the timeline (such as it vaguely is!) - as I recall, it has been reported that JB realized Nevaeh was MISSING at 6-6:30  -  but did not call LE until 8:30 (one report even said the 911 call was at 9:20) . . . Ergo, if what the little neighbor boy's mom said is true, that Nevaeh left their apartment @ 3:30-3:45 - and NONE OF US BELIEVE ANY OF JB'S STORIES/TIMELINES, then this little sweetie could have been unaccounted for for 5 HOURS?!? If I am putting this together correctly, that leaves a HUGE timeline for 'disposing of a body'. (I hate even typing that - makes me sick.)

Any other monkey friends wondering about this . . . ?

I just finished watching the memorial for Tori Stafford. Her brother Daryn read a letter that was heart wrenching.  They still have not found Tori and will have to go through this again when they do find her reamins. 

JB will be able to bury her daughter.  She will only have to go through this once and there are no siblings (that we know of).  JB has knowingly and willingly put her daughter in harms way by allowing her to associate with SO's.  JB is just as culpable as the person who did this.

The scene as it is to me looks as if they were in a hurry. The cement bag left there, the beer can, the latex glove. It is possible that it was done just before 911 was called.
Whatever happened here, Jennifer is at fault for something, like not protecting her girl. None of us here posting would ever behave like this and we don't understand persons who do behave this way. This entire situation is reminding me of the Haleigh Family where everyone the kiddo came into contact with was off the charts in the careless disregard for the safety of their kiddos category.

From what is reported. Neveah's friend's mom said that JB picked up Neveah approx 3:30PM in the afternoon, JB found Neveah to be missing approx 6:30, asked George to help her locate her (JB's words), IIRC GK said for about 1/2 hour and yes I saw reports that 911 was not called until 8:30 - it leaves 3-5 hours that are unaccounted for by JB, GK, RW & yea we'll throw in JE too.

Tori's case was awful, just awful how that poor mom was treated. Everyone critized everything she said and did, Such as her not crying.... a lot of lessons need to be learned just by that one case, in my opinion. I agree the media is not doing a good job of reporting this case and the rumor mill in Monroe is not helping matters.

I completely agree it is very disturbing how JB could bring Kennedy around her daughter and allow him to have a relationship with her. What an ingnorant and dangerous thing to do! Drugs have affected this person, to me that is obvious. If GK killed this child then the mom has some explaning to do, even if she wasn't involved. I think however you will find a SO which worked himself into her life to get to the child. manipulative *asterds! I don't think she should have been left to watch this child, not with the suspected drug abuse! But! just as many families in these threads have done, she left her child unattended, (I really wish people would stop doing that!) Think about it, most cases the child was alone or without adult supervision, walking alone, playing alone, playing with other children without an adult, even for a moment... Do we arrest every parent? Do we charge every parent? What is the cut off? Not trying to argue, just making my previous and continuous point of why this subject needs public awareness.

In this case it is very clear that JB did not have custody of her own child so she had NO business taking care of Neveah unsupervised.  The fact that this girl had no problems exposing Neveah to KNOWN SO's is negligence & endangering the welfare of a minor.  By her own admittance JB stated that she didn't seem to have a problem with having Neveah around SO's & even called one a "father figure" this level of ignorance is unacceptable & it did break the law regarding his parole conditions - he is at fault for breaking it, she is at fault for allowing it repetitively.   What is even more hideous is she reported that she asked for the aid of a SO to help her find her "alleged" missing child, ridiculous!   What does she do while the whereabouts of Neveah are unknown, she admits failing a polygraph with lame excuses & then goes on a campaign to stand up for a SO, what is wrong with that picture!   Where was JB all day since she reported that Neveah was playing outside or at a friend's house ALL DAY?  You'd think someone that lost custody would be making an effort to appreciate & treasure any time she had instead of letting a 5 year old roam around unsupervised.   What was she doing instead of spending quality time with Neveah, drugging up?   Did JB work & appear to be trying to get her life together so she could participate in raising Neveah properly, NO.  Her reported drug abuse is another thing, no excuses parents should not be getting in a condition that alters their minds and/or can cause harm to minors, period.  Enough already with the excuses and empathy for addicts, they CHOSE to fudge up their lives, if they cannot be responsible for their actions, society needs to make sure they don't harm others in the process, especially children.    Where does the line cross, it crosses at this obvious level of gross negligence & wanton disregard for the safety & well-being of others.   We don't know if JB is responsible for Neveah's murder or cover up yet but child neglect & endangerment are established & it is outrageous.  Yes, she should be charged with at least that.

I am not sure what empathy you are referring to I am showing for a drug addict. I have said she should be held accountable for allowing her daughter to be around a RSO.
I don't agree with basing arguments off of rumor, assumption and theories. When the facts come out and she if is found to have done this, or GK is found to have done this, I will be right there with you. Assumptions, rumors, theories in my opinion are not enough. I guess facts are important in my determining someone's, involvement, guilt or innocense.

In this case it is very clear that JB did not have custody of her own child so she had NO business taking care of Neveah unsupervised.  The fact that this girl had no problems exposing Neveah to KNOWN SO's is negligence & endangering the welfare of a minor.  By her own admittance JB stated that she didn't seem to have a problem with having Neveah around SO's & even called one a "father figure" this level of ignorance is unacceptable & it did break the law regarding his parole conditions - he is at fault for breaking it, she is at fault for allowing it repetitively.   What is even more hideous is she reported that she asked for the aid of a SO to help her find her "alleged" missing child, ridiculous!   What does she do while the whereabouts of Neveah are unknown, she admits failing a polygraph with lame excuses & then goes on a campaign to stand up for a SO, what is wrong with that picture!   Where was JB all day since she reported that Neveah was playing outside or at a friend's house ALL DAY?  You'd think someone that lost custody would be making an effort to appreciate & treasure any time she had instead of letting a 5 year old roam around unsupervised.   What was she doing instead of spending quality time with Neveah, drugging up?   Did JB work & appear to be trying to get her life together so she could participate in raising Neveah properly, NO.  Her reported drug abuse is another thing, no excuses parents should not be getting in a condition that alters their minds and/or can cause harm to minors, period.  Enough already with the excuses and empathy for addicts, they CHOSE to fudge up their lives, if they cannot be responsible for their actions, society needs to make sure they don't harm others in the process, especially children.    Where does the line cross, it crosses at this obvious level of gross negligence & wanton disregard for the safety & well-being of others.   We don't know if JB is responsible for Neveah's murder or cover up yet but child neglect & endangerment are established & it is outrageous.  Yes, she should be charged with at least that.
Very good post Capp, you have said what I have been thinking this entire time while trying to catch up with my reading.

what she said...yep...what she said! good post Cappys!

Well I am sure that carrying 90lbs worth of dust can be no picnic or walk in the park.  I certainly hope they have recovered DNA from sweat with all of this, not to mention epiphelials (sp?) from the beer can...sure you don't have to put your mouth on it, but even drinking like that your nose would still touch varios parts of the top of the can.
Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling that who ever did this crime went through a lot of trouble to make it look like another person did it and really hase over done it with the disposal making it seem as if she was disgarded as trash....something is not clicking right for me here.

If the SO is so carefull in not being seen when he/she took Nevaeh then why the rest of the pieces left here? 

Let me explain what I mean here. 

We have a child taken, at what time its not very evident given that there are conflicting stories in regard to that, we just know when LE was called in.
We have a mother who lied to LE while her child is missing, sorry I would be singing like a canary and telling all regardless of what the hell question was asked.  NO REASON TO LIE.
We have 2 SO's taken into custody, one of which had a SOLID relationship with the child and the mother.
We know that Kennedy was an SO, the mother was aware of this as well.
We know that Kennedy worked with concrete 90lb bags, the mother was aware of this as well.
We know that Kennedy drinks beer and fishes, the mother was aware of this as well.

Why go through the trouble to use latex gloves, but then leave a beer can?  Why go through the trouble of disposing the body hoping to conceal it, but then leave the bag and a beer can? 

I am sorry I smell staging and set up..........

I guess to sum up what I am trying to say....its this:

Someone went through a lot of trouble to make it look like Kennedy is the one responsible for this.

IF I am wrong, and Kennedy did in fact commit this crime, then he is the worlds dumbest SOB.


My take on it, Kennedy was getting cozy with another lady and had gone off fishing with her now.  Boy that sure burned someone else up inside, that was to be "her man" and "her daughters new father figure".....she had given him everything, and this is how he repays her......
Now, after all of this, we have JB campaigning for her Kennedy and saying in the media how she hopes that he can forgive her "after telling LE all about him".....sorry don't buy that - sounds more like a guilty conscience trying to cleanse itself.

ALL MOO.

Dolce I agree with you there. Something is just not adding up. Seems to me if someone went to all the trouble to take the baby without being seen, I think they would have done a better job of hiding the body. If this is a popular fishing spot why put it right there unless you want it found.

Good Evening Monkeys and Guest.....IIRC George said he and his gf were fishing and Jennifer called him on his cell phone to tell him she was missing. I have tried to read every post and may have missed it....but has anyone thought of them using a boat? It would be much easier to take her in a boat along with the bag of cement than try to carry it all down the steep embankment.

 darla yes, I've wondered about the use of a boat since Nevaeh was left so close to the shore line.

Also wondered if the bag of cement might have been dragged and pushed down the cliff.  There would probably be markings.

I was just thinking of the shoddy job that the perp did but how about this scenario?
Mom lets GK take Neveah to the store, for ice cream... whatever. He does what he does and maybe this time something went too far " an accident" ( shudders) happens and Nevaeh dies, maybe to much drugs, maybe she got hurt beyond repair IDK. So he gets this stuff together and goes to bury her.... mom calls asking about her. He could have said something like I dropped her off in the parking lot at the apts. She asks if he can come help look for her, he says sure. Figures that he can always come back to tidy things up and finish the job, doesn't plan on being pegged so quickly in this.

I agree that it is just too perfect.  IIRC, the very first thing I heard out of JB's mouth is she would not put it past GK to have done something to Nevaeh.

I also agree that there is a chance he could be the world's dumbest SOB.  The beer can may have been something he thought would never be found if he put it in with the baby.

SOB in this case that is proven is JB.  Why?  She chose a RSO as a father figure for her child. 

If I knew someone was a RSO, I would not let them within shouting distance of my child.  I also would never leave my child unsupervised anywhere in his neighborhood.  I would never leave a 5 year old unsupervised in an open parking lot ever.  If that makes me paranoid or over protective, I don't care.

It is my feeling that a RSO is always craving their next victim.  They have an unhealthy need for this and it takes more strength than most of them have to ignore those feelings.  Any woman that would put her child in the care of a RSO is asking for trouble.  I am all for giving people a chance to prove themselves, I am not, however, in favor of letting the mouse watch the cheese, even for a quick second.  Unless, of course, I am looking for a way to get rid of the cheese.

I agree..if this is a set up..and it seems to be..just too many connections back to George that I think he would have been savvy enough to destroy.  She new where they were fishing..or that they were fishing..and the rest fell into place.  I still believe she help with the disposal..but because she waited so long to call LE ..we have a possible 3 hour time frame or more...she had plenty of time to have cleaned up better if that had been the intent.  I smell a woman scorned.

Last night Wendy Murphy was enraged on 'Issues' w/ JVM. I wish you all could have heard her rant. It was fantastic! Here is what she had to say>>

VELEZ-MITCHELL: A family left to pick up the pieces after their worst nightmare comes true. Police race against the clock to find the little child`s killer and bring that individual to justice, let`s pray.

Straight to my panel: Wendy Murphy, former prosecutor, professor at New England School of Law and author of "And Justice for Some"; Bill Manion, forensic pathologist and assistant medical examiner for Burlington County, New Jersey; Jeff Brown, criminal defense attorney; Steve Kardian, former criminal investigator and director of Defend University; Dr. Dale Archer, clinical psychiatrist; and Dave Murray, special assignment editor at the "Toledo Blade," who joins us by phone.

But I want to start with you, Wendy. The discovery of a precious child`s body encased in concrete is enough to turn anybody`s stomach. You have prosecuted so many vicious cases. What does it say about this killer that he or she, or them, would leave the victim ultimately trapped in cement?

WENDY MURPHY, FORMER PROSECUTOR: You know, Jane, inhumane is too good of a word for this monster. As if it isn`t bad enough that you take a child, you hurt a child, you kill a child, you stuff their body in cement? I mean, I thought I`d heard it all when we heard about a suitcase with little Sandra Cantu being dumped like trash in a pond. This child dumped in a river.

What I want to know is, how many more little girls have to die before somebody does something meaningful to protect these defenseless kids? I am sick of it. In every case it`s a sex offender, some pervert. When are we going to do something? These kids can`t stand up for themselves. They are totally defenseless.

Every week we`re on this show talking about something gruesome like this happening. Where`s the president? Where`s Obama? You know, if these girls died from swine flu, he`d be on the news tonight. Or if they were Muslim little girls, he`d be on the news tonight, talking about it. Why isn`t he saying anything? That`s what I want to know.

Tearful supporters visit Monroe County site where girl's body was found

Barb Rothman put her arms around her husband and her chin on his shoulder as the two stood just feet from the little girl’s crude waterside grave.

The Dundee Township couple had carefully made their way down the slippery, steep hillside leading to the spot — one they had been to before on happier occasions, to fish.


“We had a son killed ourselves,” Fritz Rothman said as his wife’s eyes welled with tears. “We know what it’s like to lose a child. It’s a shame it had to come to this.”


The serene spot is believed to have served for two weeks as 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan’s grave after she was abducted May 24 from outside of her Monroe apartment complex.


While autopsy results are still pending, officials with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office reiterated today that they’re tracking down leads to look for a killer.


DNA evidence has been shipped to Michigan State Police in hopes of positively identifying the girl, a sheriff’s official said, because family members said Nevaeh never had her teeth X-rayed for dental comparisons.


The Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office had not released the cause of death, saying further testing is needed because there were no outward signs of trauma or other obvious indicators explaining how the girl died.


The girl’s family could ultimately be asked to view the body for visual identification, authorities said.


Since Nevaeh disappeared, a makeshift memorial has grown outside of her Charlotte Arms apartment complex.. Today, that memorial had spread to the spot along the River Raisin off Dixon Road where fishermen discovered a little girl covered in a cement mixture inches from the water.


Passersby prayed at the riverside. Some stayed atop the hill, near the road; others felt compelled to climb down and place flowers near the displaced soil.


“This hits home,” said a tearful Phillip Gibson, 52, of Monroe, who climbed down with a flowered-covered cross to place graveside.


Gibson said his 30-year-old son, Scotty, was shot to death 2 1/2 years ago. Like the Rothmans, he said he sympathizes with Nevaeh’s family.



“I hope they get him,” he said of the culprit. “I wish they’d let me at him, but I guess that should be left up to God.”


That mix of anger and anguish was obvious at Nevaeh’s apartment, too, where the tent covering dozens of stuffed animals and balloons had been adorned with signs advocating the death penalty.


“Majority of this country has it, Michigan needs to have it and they should start with the person(s) responsible for this tragic loss,” the signs read. “Why should this person be allowed to live?”


Cheryl LaPierre, 43, of Monroe said tragedies such as this one will forever affect the whole community.


“I don’t let him go anywhere no more,” she said, motioning to her 8-year-old son, Jimmy Pocock, who placed a teddy bear and stuffed dog in the memorial. “It’s sad.”


Barb Rothman said she hopes some good can come from the loss. She and her husband lost their 2-year-old son Darrell in a car wreck, she said, and take comfort knowing that he’s in “a better place than this world can ever be.”


Added her husband: “It’s a terrible loss, but you have to figure out a way to bring some positive out of the negative.”

The serene spot is believed to have served for two weeks as 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan’s grave after she was abducted May 24 from outside of her Monroe apartment complex.


While autopsy results are still pending, officials with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office reiterated today that they’re tracking down leads to look for a killer.


DNA evidence has been shipped to Michigan State Police in hopes of positively identifying the girl, a sheriff’s official said, because family members said Nevaeh never had her teeth X-rayed for dental comparisons.


The Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office had not released the cause of death, saying further testing is needed because there were no outward signs of trauma or other obvious indicators explaining how the girl died.


The girl’s family could ultimately be asked to view the body for visual identification, authorities said.


Since Nevaeh disappeared, a makeshift memorial has grown outside of her Charlotte Arms apartment complex.. Today, that memorial had spread to the spot along the River Raisin off Dixon Road where fishermen discovered a little girl covered in a cement mixture inches from the water.


Passersby prayed at the riverside. Some stayed atop the hill, near the road; others felt compelled to climb down and place flowers near the displaced soil.


“This hits home,” said a tearful Phillip Gibson, 52, of Monroe, who climbed down with a flowered-covered cross to place graveside.


Gibson said his 30-year-old son, Scotty, was shot to death 2 1/2 years ago. Like the Rothmans, he said he sympathizes with Nevaeh’s family.


“I hope they get him,” he said of the culprit. “I wish they’d let me at him, but I guess that should be left up to God.”


That mix of anger and anguish was obvious at Nevaeh’s apartment, too, where the tent covering dozens of stuffed animals and balloons had been adorned with signs advocating the death penalty.


“Majority of this country has it, Michigan needs to have it and they should start with the person(s) responsible for this tragic loss,” the signs read. “Why should this person be allowed to live?”


Cheryl LaPierre, 43, of Monroe said tragedies such as this one will forever affect the whole community.


“I don’t let him go anywhere no more,” she said, motioning to her 8-year-old son, Jimmy Pocock, who placed a teddy bear and stuffed dog in the memorial. “It’s sad.”


Barb Rothman said she hopes some good can come from the loss. She and her husband lost their 2-year-old son Darrell in a car wreck, she said, and take comfort knowing that he’s in “a better place than this world can ever be.”


Added her husband: “It’s a terrible loss, but you have to figure out a way to bring some positive out of the negative.”


Anyone with information about the investigation are being asked to call the Monroe County Sheriff at 734-457-6713.

'People are here because they care'

RAISINVILLE TOWNSHIP — They came from Ohio, Ann Arbor and throughout Monroe County to pray or just to see the place where the body of Nevaeh Buchanan was recovered.After police reopened Dixon Rd. early Friday evening, people began parking their vehicles along the road to stand at the top of a ridge and peer down at the water’s edge. It was there that investigators unearthed the 5-year-old girl’s body the day before."People are here because they care," said Gretchen Feaganes of Newport, who led an impromptu and tearful prayer session. "I hurt for her. I hurt for this girl."The place where fishermen came upon the girl’s body is in a remote area of Raisinville Township off Dixon Rd. east of Nieman Rd. She was buried close to the riverbank, which is only accessible by descending a steep hill at the end of a guardrail.After investigators completed their task and left the scene Friday, a distinct square patch of dirt that measured about 4-by-3-feet was still disturbed. Daniel Lovett, who lives on Yensch Rd. across the river, stared at the spot in disbelief."This is it," he said. "This is where she was."When you think of what happened here, it makes me sick," he continued. "You can’t believe it until you see it. It’s terrible."At the top of the hill a gathering of folks decided to stand in a circle and hold hands. They prayed and spoke of healing and thanked the community for all its support. Then Ms. Feaganes, a mother of three, broke down and cried on the shoulder of a stranger."That poor baby," she sobbed. "That poor little baby." Leroi Basinger drove to the site from Oregon, Ohio. He said he’s not a psychic but he gets visions. And he had a vision not long ago where Nevaeh was lying in grass with trees around her."I just came here to see the area," Mr. Basinger said, his eyes focused on the flowing river below. "I just wanted to come and see."The area is well-known to local fishermen and is not clearly visible from the road. That’s why theorists and police believe the person who killed Nevaeh was someone familiar with the area."It was someone who was here before," Mr. Lovett said. "They’ve been to this spot before."Cars slowly drove by the spot and slowed. Both sides of the road were lined with vehicles that pulled over to stop and the mourners slowly made their way to the edge of the ravine above the river.Mr. Lovett said although the spot is popular for fishermen he believes it is sacred ground now."This place will no longer be for fishing," Mr. Lovett predicted. "This is a gravesite. She met her little fate here."

Thank you Klaas.  It does look like two cars in the driveway.  On the road may be a truck.

Good Evening everyone.  Just jumped on for a minute to see if there's any news here.  Read through some of the posts--I'm glad someone finally pointed out that the picture of the older little girl wasn't Nevaeh!  I had a nice day today with my little one.  She really gives me an emotional recharge.  She's the best thing that ever happened to me in life.  We have another great day planned for tomorrow.  The weather is supposed to be beautiful!

Anyway, I just want to make a few observations before I hit the sack.  When this case first broke, I was totally convinced that this was going to be another Haleigh Cummings case.  The reason is that I studied this area on google maps and google earth.  What I saw made me think that they were never going to find this child.  Quarries, ponds, rivers, marshes, they're all over the place.  There are millions of places this child could have been hidden and she probably would have never been found.  But the location the killer chose was a popular fishing spot.  A place where he/she knew people would visit.  And the manner in which this little girl was buried -- I don't think even the stupidest criminal on the face of the earth would truly believe she'd never be found.  Come on, concrete on a river bank?  Putting aside the fact that it would be unusual to see a mound of concrete near a river, I've worked with fast setting concrete before.  There was no way this concrete was going to cure properly.  There was just too much water around.  As soon as you dig lower than the water line, you can't stop the water.  Too much water equals weak concrete.  That's what happened here.  And fast setting concrete isn't as hard as regular concrete.  It's typically used for setting fence posts and the like.  It doesn't have the strength of regular concrete.

Now, I don't believe the killer took the time to mix the concrete in a container.  One of the nice things about fast setting concrete is you don't have to mix it that way.  I used it last summer to set a light post in my front yard.  I dug the hole, put my post in, poured the mix in, filled the hole with water, mixed it around a bit, and in 10 minutes it was set.

Now, let's consider the body.  No visible signs of trauma.  In fact, from what I read, there is no obvious cause of death, to the extent that further testing is needed to determine the cause of death.  IE, toxicology.  Now, if this little child was raped, there would be visible signs of trauma.  There's no way there wouldn't be.  Now, that's not to say she wasn't sexually assaulted short of penetration.  But I still think there would be trauma of some sort.  Apparently the body was naked with the clothes thrown in with her.  That doesn't make sense to me.  Those clothes will be a treasure trove of trace evidence.  Why wouldn't they be thrown in the river?  Or burned?  Or disposed of in some other fashion?

Now let's consider JB.  First, many different stories about what went on that day.   But here's the most telling one for me.  In her radio interview, she said Nevaeh came in the house, changed clothes, and then went upstairs to play with her friend, a 7 year old boy.  She said that was the last time she saw her.  The mother of that 7 year old boy says, "NOT SO!"  She says Nevaeh and her son played all afternoon until JB CAME TO PICK HER UP!  I believe that--what would be her motivation to lie?  The question is, what happened next?  We don't know, except that Nevaeh ended up missing.  Second, shortly after Nevaeh went missing, JB was complaining about how LE was focusing on Monroe. She specifically said she felt Nevaeh was no longer in Monroe.  Hmmmm. . . .she was right.

After Nevaeh was found, Grandma and Uncle spoke out.  Mom was nowhere to be found.  Ok, let's assume she was distraught.  But why is she now staying with friends?  Relatives want nothing to do with her.  And Uncle's statement about punishing "whomever did this, and I mean whomever" or words to that effect weren't Freudian slips.  They were calculated.

There are many others, but I'm not going to go into detail.  I think you get my point.  In short, I agree that this looks like a set up of some sort.  Set up to look like some SO did this.  I'm not buying it.  I pray very hard that this case will be solved, and I'm pretty confident that it will be.

JUSTICE FOR NEVAEH, JUSTICE FOR SANDRA, and JUSTICE FOR ALL THE LITTLE CHILDREN!!!!

(BTW, only 6 more days 'till game time for Huckaby.  I wonder if she'll enter a plea this time?)

I am not sure if this has been posted.
Last night Wendy Murphy was enraged on 'Issues' w/ JVM. I wish you all could have heard her rant. It was fantastic! Here is what she had to say>>

VELEZ-MITCHELL: A family left to pick up the pieces after their worst nightmare comes true. Police race against the clock to find the little child`s killer and bring that individual to justice, let`s pray.

Straight to my panel: Wendy Murphy, former prosecutor, professor at New England School of Law and author of "And Justice for Some"; Bill Manion, forensic pathologist and assistant medical examiner for Burlington County, New Jersey; Jeff Brown, criminal defense attorney; Steve Kardian, former criminal investigator and director of Defend University; Dr. Dale Archer, clinical psychiatrist; and Dave Murray, special assignment editor at the "Toledo Blade," who joins us by phone.

But I want to start with you, Wendy. The discovery of a precious child`s body encased in concrete is enough to turn anybody`s stomach. You have prosecuted so many vicious cases. What does it say about this killer that he or she, or them, would leave the victim ultimately trapped in cement?

WENDY MURPHY, FORMER PROSECUTOR: You know, Jane, inhumane is too good of a word for this monster. As if it isn`t bad enough that you take a child, you hurt a child, you kill a child, you stuff their body in cement? I mean, I thought I`d heard it all when we heard about a suitcase with little Sandra Cantu being dumped like trash in a pond. This child dumped in a river.

What I want to know is, how many more little girls have to die before somebody does something meaningful to protect these defenseless kids? I am sick of it. In every case it`s a sex offender, some pervert. When are we going to do something? These kids can`t stand up for themselves. They are totally defenseless.

Every week we`re on this show talking about something gruesome like this happening. Where`s the president? Where`s Obama? You know, if these girls died from swine flu, he`d be on the news tonight. Or if they were Muslim little girls, he`d be on the news tonight, talking about it. Why isn`t he saying anything? That`s what I want to know.

You can read all of the transcript here>>>>>> I wish we had a you tube of it.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0906/05/ijvm.01.html

Nut I am watching this very show right now on HLN! it is a rerun but I had not seen it before tonight! 

I loved what Wendy had to say!!!! she rocks and she is so right...when is Obama and others going to take notice?

Wow, good for her! I totally agree! Although, Bush was prez for 8 years and I didn't hear him utter one word either, lol. This is a bi-partisan issue, blue, red, democrat, republican....everyone needs to take notice of this issue.

She is right though, there is story after story of this happening to children and honestly what is done? Not much or at least not enough to stop it! We need to get on it and try to change this. I don't want to be an old lady sitting at my computer still posting about this subject.

Tori's case was awful, just awful how that poor mom was treated. Everyone critized everything she said and did, Such as her not crying.... a lot of lessons need to be learned just by that one case, in my opinion. I agree the media is not doing a good job of reporting this case and the rumor mill in Monroe is not helping matters.

I completely agree it is very disturbing how JB could bring Kennedy around her daughter and allow him to have a relationship with her. What an ingnorant and dangerous thing to do! Drugs have affected this person, to me that is obvious. If GK killed this child then the mom has some explaning to do, even if she wasn't involved. I think however you will find a SO which worked himself into her life to get to the child. manipulative *asterds! I don't think she should have been left to watch this child, not with the suspected drug abuse! But! just as many families in these threads have done, she left her child unattended, (I really wish people would stop doing that!) Think about it, most cases the child was alone or without adult supervision, walking alone, playing alone, playing with other children without an adult, even for a moment... Do we arrest every parent? Do we charge every parent? What is the cut off? Not trying to argue, just making my previous and continuous point of why this subject needs public awareness.

In this case it is very clear that JB did not have custody of her own child so she had NO business taking care of Neveah unsupervised.  The fact that this girl had no problems exposing Neveah to KNOWN SO's is negligence & endangering the welfare of a minor.  By her own admittance JB stated that she didn't seem to have a problem with having Neveah around SO's & even called one a "father figure" this level of ignorance is unacceptable & it did break the law regarding his parole conditions - he is at fault for breaking it, she is at fault for allowing it repetitively.   What is even more hideous is she reported that she asked for the aid of a SO to help her find her "alleged" missing child, ridiculous!   What does she do while the whereabouts of Neveah are unknown, she admits failing a polygraph with lame excuses & then goes on a campaign to stand up for a SO, what is wrong with that picture!   Where was JB all day since she reported that Neveah was playing outside or at a friend's house ALL DAY?  You'd think someone that lost custody would be making an effort to appreciate & treasure any time she had instead of letting a 5 year old roam around unsupervised.   What was she doing instead of spending quality time with Neveah, drugging up?   Did JB work & appear to be trying to get her life together so she could participate in raising Neveah properly, NO.  Her reported drug abuse is another thing, no excuses parents should not be getting in a condition that alters their minds and/or can cause harm to minors, period.  Enough already with the excuses and empathy for addicts, they CHOSE to fudge up their lives, if they cannot be responsible for their actions, society needs to make sure they don't harm others in the process, especially children.    Where does the line cross, it crosses at this obvious level of gross negligence & wanton disregard for the safety & well-being of others.   We don't know if JB is responsible for Neveah's murder or cover up yet but child neglect & endangerment are established & it is outrageous.  Yes, she should be charged with at least that.

I am not sure what empathy you are referring to I am showing for a drug addict. I have said she should be held accountable for allowing her daughter to be around a RSO.
I don't agree with basing arguments off of rumor, assumption and theories. When the facts come out and she if is found to have done this, or GK is found to have done this, I will be right there with you. Assumptions, rumors, theories in my opinion are not enough. I guess facts are important in my determining someone's, involvement, guilt or innocense.



WHOA...nowhere did I say that YOU were having empathy for anything, in fact the word "YOU" was nowhere in my post.  You asked some specific questions regarding when it is appropriate to charge a parent with child neglect and/or endangering the welfare of a minor, I generally responded...read thoroughly before you jump on someone please, an apology will be accepted.

Tracygirl, I usually do not respond in these matters, but I am going to jump in here this time. I have read on Sandra's thread only, and have not posted. But when I was reading I noticed that your post were pretty level headed and and clear cut, with important local information coming from you. I have not read much there however lately as things have gotten so convoluted to keep up.

However, I have noticed on Nevaeh's thread that there has been an edge to your posts sometimes, and I understand the upsetness that you must feel about what has happened here. I myself get really emotionally involved and I get upset and cranky, but I try not to take it out on the other monkeys. I get upset with the situation and the people that are involved involved in the actual case. I have seen you in the past few days get upset with a monkey's post and kind of take it personally. This in no way is meant to be an attack on how you feel, and believe me, I understand. I have been called down when I got too over the top before. Us monkeys are on the same side. I hope that this doesn't turn into how Haleigh's thread went with everyone picking sides and hurting each other's feelings.

This is not a personal attack and I hope you will not take it that way. This is just some experience that I have had, and I hope you will take it that way. I love all the Monkeys, and all the different opinions. I just want to see all of us be able to post and respect each others opinions. I hope I will get no nanners for this..I don't post here very much.   ::MonkeyAngel::

Fanny Mae,
Thank you for your posting, I appreciate your taking an interest in my well being, it is caring of you and that means a lot to me. No nanners throwing.

I find myself speaking out on the opposite sides of debates all of the time. It is what makes me a good advocate for the causes I believe in. I am not afraid to go against the grain and speak out. I think that is what you are reading into. I have spoken out against the things I am reading which are based on opinions and rumors. However you are correct on one thing, the edge you hear is frustration. This world of ours? Not a kind place sometimes. We have children being raped and/or molested, being torn away from their families, killed and thrown away like last nights dinner. The families are left just in utter devastation, all because a situation is allowed to keep happening over and over again.

It kills me inside, literally this subject kills me. As a mother I know this would be the worse thing to ever happen to me, nothing could ever compare. When I read comments that are so lacking any compassion for a person who maybe and is most likely in the worse pain in their life, it saddens me beyond understanding. I don't understand and will not understand what is wrong with giving a person the benefit of the doubt, especially if that person has a child who was kidnapped and killed. If it is proven a mother had a hand in the killing then we can all change our minds, right? If they didn't have a hand in it, shouldn't they expect a little compassion? Maybe a little understanding? maybe not feel as though they are being judged? As mothers and as woman should we not support one another and try to help one another? What happened to that? There is no manual for this type of thing. Everyone is different and responds differently.  Poor Sandra's mom couldn't produce words and all she could do was cry, Tori's mom spoke but didn't cry. Everyone is different and you cannot judge someone based on  how we believe we would react or what we would do.

I think this case will see an arrest very soon, maybe I will just check out until that is done and the facts start being released. I will go back to my Sandra, Tracy's Angel, threads and try to offer what I can to the dedicated few who have been working tirelessly to find justice for little Sandra Cantu. Next week BTW I will be taking a stuffed Monkey and a poster board to the place she is buried. Please visit her thread and post a message if you wish to include one.

The Raisin River -  snipped: www.epa.gov/glnpo/aoc/rvraisin.html -

Raisin River, Monroe County
The Raisin River is a large river
system in extreme southeastern
Michigan. It begins south of Jackson
and flows east through Monroe
where it empties into Lake Erie. The
Raisin is considered a cool water
fishery with small mouth bass and
rock bass being the major game fish
species present. The upper
stretches are swift, shallow and clear
and the lower stretches are slow,
murky, shallow and very wide

----
The place where Neveah was found was at the bottom - towards Ohio. Which leads me to believe to be of the Murky Waters.. not the Clear. The Tree's have just Burst wide open in Michigan within the last 2.5 weeks - with Full Foliage. The weather has been cool and almost cold -for the most part. We have had only 3-5 warm days * above 68 degrees(2009) that would bring ppl out to such areas (as where Nev's Body was found) or any area's of water " for enjoying the outdoors". 
I even mentioned on my prior post that I went to my family's BBQ on Memorial Day and by 5pm - outside we were all Cold. It was Cold period - all the family actually cleaned up and left before the sun set - because of the weather. That was the day after Neveah was reported missing. 

I have always known of the River Raisin to be just that - Murky Waters - to be what would be a very captive area for " Catfish" - and or alike. And or even Pollution -
You can read it here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Raisin

My post has nothing to do with the Fisherman that found Neveah - not at all. Its a Water way " River" and its free to fish within - It is a river that is well known.

My point being that if someone where to go within the Dirt Road that Backed the River to dispose of Neveah - they more than likely would not have been noticed if they were driving a certain type of Vehicle.
Its a back road that conjoins as a short cut - to other Main Roads. So if it were a Pick Up or a Van or commercial type vehicle  - it would never gain any attention what so ever.

What the Metro Counties do in Michigan after the Frost Laws are lifted -  is they level the dirt roads - and they use a mix of Water and Oil - they use Heavy Machinery Equipment Trucks (owned by the County) that dumps Water and Oil that have a drop down grater - that Grates the Dirt road in one Swipe.  - to create a road that is drivable after Winter. Its consistent and is done on every common dirt road - every Spring. Otherwise you would have " Roads " that are not able to driven upon " by any vehicle".
We just had yet another Frost Warning the other Day - so I am not sure what has been or not been -within the Road itself - that faces where Neveah was found. 

Who Ever Disposed of Neveah had to be driving a Vehicle that if " Anyone drove past" would not even think twice of - due to the road conditions.
It would have to have been a Truck and or a vehicle of the sort - that would handle the dirt road - and be able to sit " for any amount of time" unnoticed.

I personally think that there is more than One person - involved. I think that this all ties within MOM and her Lover SO - that if Neveah was out of the Picture than they could be Felons in Love and Be with each other.  The only thing standing between them was Her - so ...
Two very sick small minds can create very huge Lies and even Death of a child that was " simply in their way"
I think that MOM is a liar and has lived that way all her life - and Her infamous Boy Friend -Mr Kennedy - Is her LOVE of her Life. She MOM chose him over her own child - and what ever conversations that played within the both of them... that stoked and geared Mr. Kennedy into a total rage .. Created and Caused " Neveah's Death".  ::MonkeyNoNo::
JMO
What should have Been within  Jennifer Buchanan's Mind/Thoughts as a Mom - Neveah gave Her a Reason to Turn Her Life Around ... tsk tsk though   
I do not believe for one Minute that Jennifer Buchanan knows what Love is.
She is as shallow as a grave with Concrete poured over it -

God Bless Neveah

I guess to sum up what I am trying to say....its this:

Someone went through a lot of trouble to make it look like Kennedy is the one responsible for this.

IF I am wrong, and Kennedy did in fact commit this crime, then he is the worlds dumbest SOB.


My take on it, Kennedy was getting cozy with another lady and had gone off fishing with her now.  Boy that sure burned someone else up inside, that was to be "her man" and "her daughters new father figure".....she had given him everything, and this is how he repays her......
Now, after all of this, we have JB campaigning for her Kennedy and saying in the media how she hopes that he can forgive her "after telling LE all about him".....sorry don't buy that - sounds more like a guilty conscience trying to cleanse itself.

ALL MOO.

I agree that it is just too perfect.  IIRC, the very first thing I heard out of JB's mouth is she would not put it past GK to have done something to Nevaeh.

I also agree that there is a chance he could be the world's dumbest SOB.  The beer can may have been something he thought would never be found if he put it in with the baby.

SOB in this case that is proven is JB.  Why?  She chose a RSO as a father figure for her child. 

If I knew someone was a RSO, I would not let them within shouting distance of my child.  I also would never leave my child unsupervised anywhere in his neighborhood.  I would never leave a 5 year old unsupervised in an open parking lot ever.  If that makes me paranoid or over protective, I don't care.

It is my feeling that a RSO is always craving their next victim.  They have an unhealthy need for this and it takes more strength than most of them have to ignore those feelings.  Any woman that would put her child in the care of a RSO is asking for trouble.  I am all for giving people a chance to prove themselves, I am not, however, in favor of letting the mouse watch the cheese, even for a quick second.  Unless, of course, I am looking for a way to get rid of the cheese.



Bearly - I absolutely LOVED the way you worded that (bolded & in red)! Covers a lot of possibilities that we all seem to have in the backs of our minds, no? Well said . . .

Okay, I usually do not post a lot. Sometimes, I'm afraid my emotions will override my brain buffers and when I"m finished typing - the end result of my words could get me banned.

As each new day arises and more details come out, I'm more shocked and horrified than the day before. Of course, the most horrifying event is the murder of Little Nevaeh and the way her body was found.

Another thing I find more and more appalling with each passing day are JB's own words and actions. Today, I read a 6 page article....on page 5 the words she spoke ( according to this article) well, I"m speechless at this moment. I will snip and bold below

(snip)
I gave him a second chance. I was just befriending him. I confronted him about it. To my knowledge, he was honest to me about it," she said.


"As for Roy, I only knew him for a couple of months. Because he knew George and they had some kind of classes together, I figured Roy had the same offense against him."


She had known Kennedy a couple of years. "If George wanted to do that, he would have done it a little sooner," she said. "That's the way I feel. But I could be wrong."   WTH  ::MonkeyShocked::

Amid suspicion and public scorn, Jennifer Buchanan denies killing daughter Nevaeh

BY JEFF SEIDEL
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER

In a cramped apartment, a portrait of a little girl is propped up on an old TV set, framed by candles.

It is a darling picture, taken at preschool.

Jennifer Buchanan faces the makeshift memorial, saying she can't imagine why anyone would have taken Nevaeh Buchanan, her 5-year-old daughter.

She begins to tell the story of the final moments when, she says, she thought Nevaeh went off to play with a friend.

And then was gone.

It's a story Buchanan has not told in so much detail before. And it's a story investigators are still scrutinizing.

Nevaeh's disappearance, for now, remains a mystery -- two weeks after she was last seen outside her Monroe apartment, just three days after a body, whose identity still is unconfirmed, was found encased in a concrete grave along a riverbank.

The search continues for the person who could have done this to a pretty girl who loved trucks and motorcycles, crayons and macaroni and cheese.

A girl whose life may have ended three days after she raced across a stage and -- all smiles -- grabbed her preschool certificate.

As suspicion swirls, mother tells her story


Down a flight of stairs, inside a dingy two-bedroom apartment, Jennifer Buchanan gave an account of her final moments with her daughter. She spent those precious minutes on a brown couch, watching reruns of "Jon & Kate Plus 8."


In the story Buchanan tells, 5-year-old Nevaeh walked barefoot across the old brown carpet, worn and stained, and headed for the front door.


"Mom, I'm going upstairs to Austin's house to play a game," Buchanan remembers her daughter saying.


It was about 6:30 p.m. on May 24, the day before Memorial Day. Nevaeh walked out, the door shut and that was the last time Buchanan says she saw her daughter.


"I trusted her enough for her to actually go," Buchanan told the Free Press last week in a 2 1/2 -hour interview, discussing everything from her relationship with two sex offenders to how it feels to be suspected in her child's disappearance.


Austin Kuhn, 8, and Nevaeh lived in the same building in the Charlotte Arms apartments and played together nearly every day. A child could probably run from Nevaeh's apartment to Austin's door on the second floor in less than 10 seconds.


She was wearing knee-length jeans and a baby blue, red-and-white striped shirt with a V-neck white collar. Potty trained, but with a habit of waiting until the last second to use the bathroom, Buchanan said, Nevaeh had just had an accident and changed her clothes.


Buchanan didn't get up from the couch to make sure her daughter made it safely up the stairs. She sat there, she said, watching "Jon & Kate Plus 8."


About 20 minutes later, a girl Buchanan described as a tattletale knocked on the door.


"She looked right at me and says, 'Nevaeh is on her scooter in the road,' " Buchanan said. "She said the road, but I knew she meant the parking lot."


Buchanan was angry at her daughter and said she looked for her flip-flops so she could go out to find her. A moment later, another girl knocked.


"Is Nevaeh home?" Buchanan remembers the girl asking. "And I said, 'She has to be upstairs at Austin's, but she is either out back, or out front, or upstairs at Austin's.' "


Buchanan said she poked her head out the building's back door and glanced at the parking lot where Nevaeh used to ride the scooter. She wasn't there. She looked at the sandbox where she often played. Not there. She glanced at the nearby school playground. Nothing.


"Nevaeh!" she said she screamed.


Buchanan planned to punish her daughter with a time-out. "I was going to yell at her and to tell her to stay out of the road," she said.


She doesn't believe in spanking. "I'm a time-out mom," Buchanan said.


She said she started knocking on doors. Nevaeh wasn't in Austin's apartment.


"I looked everywhere," she said. "I spent at least 45 minutes looking."


The panic started to grow.


She said she told the apartment manager her daughter was missing, circled the building and came around the other side, where she found the purple and green scooter Nevaeh often rode.


"My heart sank," she said, "and my stomach went into knots."


Somebody called the police, and an Amber Alert was issued.

'It's like a nightmare'


Investigators don't know what happened that day or how Nevaeh vanished. They've questioned Buchanan extensively, and the public has turned its attention to her, the choices she has made, the friends she chose.


Over the last two weeks, Buchanan says she has lived at the epicenter of a horror story.


"It's like a nightmare," she said Wednesday morning, starting to cry. "I can't wait to wake up."


She spent several days with friends searching all over Monroe County -- in the woods, by the quarries, in abandoned buildings -- sometimes returning to the same spot five or six times, whistling, stopping to cry, stopping to scream and wondering what was next.


She yelled her daughter's name until she was hoarse.


On Thursday afternoon, fishermen discovered a body covered in concrete about a foot from the River Raisin in Monroe County.


Though it hasn't been confirmed, the description of the child's body fits Nevaeh.

'She was always a good baby'


A tomboy who loved motorcycles and trucks, Nevaeh, whose name is heaven spelled backward, didn't like dresses and was content to watch "The Jungle Book" over and over.


"I'd get a headache from it," said Sherry Buchanan, Nevaeh's grandmother. "I'd say, 'OK, that's enough, Nevaeh.' And she'd say, 'Just one more time, Grandma.'


"I never had any trouble with that kid. She always called me grandma. Sometimes, she'd slip up and say, 'mommy.'


"I'd say, that's OK. Don't worry. She was always a good baby."


Sherry Buchanan was granted custody of Nevaeh after Jennifer Buchanan was convicted in 2006 on a first-degree home invasion charge. She had been breaking into homes to support a drug habit.


For the last 2 1/2 months, Sherry, Jennifer and Nevaeh Buchanan have lived together in the two-bedroom apartment.


Nevaeh named all of her stuffed animals. The black Lab is Tank. Her favorite, a beagle, is named Harley.


"Harley went to school with her," Sherry Buchanan said. "Harley went to bed with her."


Harley still smells like Nevaeh.


When she disappeared, her grandmother got comfort in sleeping with Tank. Jennifer Buchanan slept with Harley.


"I'd give anything in the world to have her come running through that door," Sherry Buchanan said.

'This is horrible'


In the eyes of some, Jennifer Buchanan quickly transformed from a sympathetic figure into a villain as word got out that she was friends with two convicted sex offenders.


The cable TV show "Nancy Grace" focused last week on 24-year-old Buchanan and her relationships with George Kennedy and Roy Smith, both of whom are from Monroe.


Court records show Smith, 48, was convicted of third-degree criminal sexual conduct after a woman said he raped her twice in his car in 1991. Kennedy, 39, was convicted in 2002 of raping a 15-year-old girl behind a gas station.


Grace interviewed Nevaeh's father, Shane Hinojosa, 22, of Toledo, who hasn't seen his daughter in three years.


"What can you tell me about your daughter being exposed by her mother to a registered sex offender?" Grace asked incredulously. "In fact, more than one."


"Oh, I'm furious," he replied.


On another show, Grace asked a psychologist about the case.


"This is horrible," the psychologist said. "The mother's judgment is atrocious. How could she be with a sex offender and have a little girl in the home? It's just horrible."


A short time later, another guest slammed Buchanan: "Mom is a title of honor. She doesn't deserve that honor. She was never a mother."


The voices and opinions screamed an unsubstantiated accusation: Jennifer Buchanan was to blame.

'They don't ... know me'


Back in Michigan, Buchanan said she was being attacked by people who had never met her.


"I feel like everyone has a lot of negativity about me," she said. "They don't personally know me. ... I feel like everyone is putting me in the category of ... parents who actually did harm their children. ... It's very frustrating."


Grace, she said, "is completely wrong. ... I didn't leave her playing outside. She was supposed to be playing upstairs on that day at that specific time."


Both Kennedy and Smith are now in jail on possible parole violations. Neither has been charged in connection with Nevaeh's suspected death, but Buchanan said she doesn't know what to think about them anymore.


"As for the guys, I don't know," she said. "I didn't think it was a crime to have my child around someone. Honestly, no matter who you come across, you don't know who and what they are. You don't know if they are labeled as a sex offender unless you look their name up."


Buchanan said she knew of Kennedy's criminal past.


"I gave him a second chance. I was just befriending him. I confronted him about it. To my knowledge, he was honest to me about it," she said.


"As for Roy, I only knew him for a couple of months. Because he knew George and they had some kind of classes together, I figured Roy had the same offense against him."


She had known Kennedy a couple of years. "If George wanted to do that, he would have done it a little sooner," she said. "That's the way I feel. But I could be wrong."

'I'm completely innocent'


Buchanan said she met with police and the FBI at least four times. One interview lasted about five hours.


"I feel like they are putting me under the spotlight," she said. "I feel like they are pointing fingers at me, like I did something intentionally."


She doesn't have a lawyer and says she doesn't need one.


"I'm completely innocent," she said. "I didn't have anything to do with my daughter's disappearance. I don't do drugs. I hardly ever drink. I don't owe anybody any money. I have hardly any enemies. I don't understand who would come up and take my child."


Last week, Buchanan gave police permission to search her home.


The detectives took part of her computer and, she said, they asked her what Web sites she has visited recently.


Buchanan also was interviewed by behavioral specialists from the FBI. "They were asking me about my background and what" Nevaeh "was like," she said. "They went all the way back to how I felt when I was pregnant."

'She meant the world to me'


Nevaeh didn't trust strangers. And Buchanan said she didn't think her daughter would have gone silently, without at fight.


Two weeks before her daughter's disappearance, they were at a Relay for Life event at Bedford High School in Temperance.


"We were walking, and people were passing out candy. She would take no candy from anybody," Buchanan said.


Nevaeh must have put up a fight or known the person who snatched her.


"I want to know what happened," Buchanan said. "I'm racking my brains on how this could happen."


Nevaeh's beauty made strangers stop and stare. "Random people would come up to me and compliment me on how beautiful she is," Buchanan said.


She said she has wondered "numerous times" whether her daughter was abducted for her beauty.


Nevaeh finished preschool three days before she disappeared.


"She was very excited to graduate," Buchanan said. "She ran, literally ran like a track runner, across that stage to get her certificate. I was so proud of her.


"She meant the world to me. I adored her. It's hard, just talking about her."


Neighbors described Nevaeh as shy. "She was adorable, a cute little girl with a ponytail," said Haley Jennings, 39, who lived on the second floor of Nevaeh's apartment complex. "Kind of timid. ... Her voice was real soft. She was real fragile, real precious.


"She kind of clutched close. She wasn't one to wander."


Everyone in the apartment complex has grown suspicious, Jennings said. She is upset thinking that the person who took Nevaeh is still out there. "It's petrifying."

Little voices


On Friday morning, the day after the body was found, TV crews gathered in the parking lot, waiting for Buchanan to come out of her apartment.

Neighbors talked about their grief, sharing their fears, showing their anger as police searched for a killer.

At a makeshift memorial in front of the apartment, a candle flickered in the breeze and a pinwheel spun round and round.

Screams could be heard in the distance. Children ran around a school playground, yelling and screaming and laughing and clapping, so full of life. So full of innocence.

Little voices in the wind.

Just like Nevaeh.

What devasting news to come home too   ::MonkeyWaa:: 

We had to drive past Monroe on our way home from the airport yesterday....it was eerie knowing that there is possibly a very sick individual on the loose. 

I did catch the local news last night and they said Kennedy has been transferred to a facility in Jackson, MI and could be held there for up to 45 days.

I'm still trying to catch up so you all may know that already.  I have a my best friends baby shower this afternoon so I will try to get caught up tonight.

How is she so sure that Nevaeh had not been being abused by George before? I am remembering about the statement from the child about "Uncle" George stabbing Nevaeh in the stomach with a knife. Could have been child speak.

Jennifer deludes herself if she says she is completely innocent. She exposed her child to sex offender(s) at the very least.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

Morning Fanny!  Good to see you too! 

I did get a message while in Vegas about them finding her....that put on damper on things to say the least.  It was probably a good thing that I was thousands of miles away from Jennifer when I found out!!  Whether she was directly involved, I still think this wack job is a danger to society.  She needs to be locked up with all the RSO's in that community!  IMO

I'm going to guess that is exactly what that statement about stabbing in the stomach with a knife meant. It was child speak, but what I would like to figure out is if Nevaeh said something to this effect to her little friend, and if her friend made a comment previously to his mother about that? And then when Nevaeh went missing the little child blurted this statement out, he didn't see anything but he remembered Nevaeh saying something like that. I have no idea, but to me that is the only thing that makes sense with that statement the little boy made.

Tori's case was awful, just awful how that poor mom was treated. Everyone critized everything she said and did, Such as her not crying.... a lot of lessons need to be learned just by that one case, in my opinion. I agree the media is not doing a good job of reporting this case and the rumor mill in Monroe is not helping matters.

I completely agree it is very disturbing how JB could bring Kennedy around her daughter and allow him to have a relationship with her. What an ingnorant and dangerous thing to do! Drugs have affected this person, to me that is obvious. If GK killed this child then the mom has some explaning to do, even if she wasn't involved. I think however you will find a SO which worked himself into her life to get to the child. manipulative *asterds! I don't think she should have been left to watch this child, not with the suspected drug abuse! But! just as many families in these threads have done, she left her child unattended, (I really wish people would stop doing that!) Think about it, most cases the child was alone or without adult supervision, walking alone, playing alone, playing with other children without an adult, even for a moment... Do we arrest every parent? Do we charge every parent? What is the cut off? Not trying to argue, just making my previous and continuous point of why this subject needs public awareness.


Reading this made be blink a bit, may I first say I am new to the thread and have been trying to catch up but this post... I just needed to respond to in some way.

At the very best...the absolute best, this woman was irresponsible, neglectful and in every way lacking the judgment required to be even a mediocre parent. To this one adds, CHILD ENDANGERMENT, by having not one but two sex offenders in the vicinity of her little girl, she let her baby girl play outside, unsupervised, regularly and even now doesn't seem to grasp that her own actions are 100% responsible for the very tragic turn of events.

She may or may not be feeling untold horror and remorse....I don't care to be honest. If she is complicit in this by any action on her part her feelings will be all for herself about getting caught. If her feelings are for the loss of her precious baby girl through her own failure to protect, she could not have made her more "available" for abduction if she had hung a sign around her neck saying "Please Take Me", added to this is by her own admission, is her continued faulty reasoning and excuses for her own egregious behavior.

I think she deserves what she gets, including speculating on her involvement. After all we can never bring Nevaeh back, no matter what and she alone is the reason for that.

Good Morning, Rosie! Leroy & Fannie, too!

What an interesting article that was on Freep - I have a number of mixed emotions regarding it. I notice that in this interview she did not say anything about wandering back & forth to the store "looking for Nevaeh" before calling 911 . . . Also, she states that she does not use drugs. We do know that she did before prison, but do we have any proof that she does again? It certainly seems like she is on something every time she speaks, but are we just surmising? Can't remember if there has been anything definitive on that . . . What if she is just lazy and unbearably stupid? (Just trying to look at all angles here.) Absolutely NOT excusing her for allowing SOs into her daughter's life, by any means . . . just trying to figure out if it is possible that she had a hand in her killing . . .

. . . but then again, I have been accused of being too nice & gullible MANY a time in my life, LOL . . .

From an article that Shelle posted got me thinking.               ( She was wearing knee-length jeans and a baby blue, red-and-white striped shirt with a V-neck white collar. Potty trained, but with a habit of waiting until the last second to use the bathroom, Buchanan said, Nevaeh had just had an accident and changed her clothes.


Buchanan didn't get up from the couch to make sure her daughter made it safely up the stairs. She sat there, she said, watching "Jon & Kate Plus 8." )             Okay, what if mother got mad that Nevaeh had an accident? You know how dare she, she was in the middle of watching Jon and Kate Plus 8. Lost her temper, Nevaeh died. Mother panicked and called her boyfriend George, and then George is the one who disposed of Nevaeh?  Would not be the first time, that a parent went off on a child who had an accident.

Tori's case was awful, just awful how that poor mom was treated. Everyone critized everything she said and did, Such as her not crying.... a lot of lessons need to be learned just by that one case, in my opinion. I agree the media is not doing a good job of reporting this case and the rumor mill in Monroe is not helping matters.

I completely agree it is very disturbing how JB could bring Kennedy around her daughter and allow him to have a relationship with her. What an ingnorant and dangerous thing to do! Drugs have affected this person, to me that is obvious. If GK killed this child then the mom has some explaning to do, even if she wasn't involved. I think however you will find a SO which worked himself into her life to get to the child. manipulative *asterds! I don't think she should have been left to watch this child, not with the suspected drug abuse!

Good Morning, Miki - nice to meet you!

I agree 100% with everything you just said. Absolutely. And have chimed in agreeably many times on this thread. And, yes, in the end, JB is ultimately responsible for putting her child in danger via horrific lack of judgement, inability to make sound decisions, and just sheer stupidity - especially as a parent. She has NO business being one.

Now that her daughter has been taken from this world, we all want to have her killer found and taken off the streets - justice to be served. I am just wondering if JB really could have been a part of the actual death / getting rid of the body. . . just don't know what to think . . .

One thing is for sure - her story changes every time she opens her mouth! Again - unbearable ignorance, or culpability?

The fact that she was five and wet herself has my red flag up a little. I know that kids have accidents all the time. But I also remember that "bedwetting" is sometime indicative of sexual abuse. I wonder if this also goes as far as accidents? I am wondering about her having an accident because she was already in preschool getting ready for kindergarten, and getting to the bathroom on time is really part of the growing up and school process. Maybe I am just reading more into this than I should. I am just wondering if she had been damaged already in some way that made it hard for her to control her bladder.

That could be, but I don't know.

Gee, the child soils herself and mommy can't be bothered to help clean her up properly. I just can't understand a mother allowing a five year old to run wild as it seems she has. This is so disturbing.

This is so disturbing, and the little one didn't even have shoes on.

I don't know about anyone else's children, but when my daughters were five, they sure didn't have any thinking like a ten year old. And when my kids were playing, I wasn't plopped in front of a tv not watching what was going on.

Good Morning Fanny -

I understand completely what you mean about not even wanting to type that thought . . . but I do believe that you have made a very important observation. It didn't sit quite right with me, either, that she was still having "accidents" at age 5 . . . So, I tried to find some info online. From one of the sites, "Child Molestation Prevention: Signs and Symptoms of Child Sexual Abuse":

http://early-childhood-development.suite101.com/article.cfm/child_molestation_prevention


"Signs of Sexual Abuse: Physical evidence of abuse is rare, but may include bladder and urinary infections, scratching and painful genitals (especially during urination)..."

Fanny, you may have hit on something very important here.

Down a flight of stairs, inside a dingy two-bedroom apartment, Jennifer Buchanan gave an account of her final moments with her daughter. She spent those precious minutes on a brown couch, watching reruns of "Jon & Kate Plus 8."

In the story Buchanan tells, 5-year-old Nevaeh walked barefoot across the old brown carpet, worn and stained, and headed for the front door.   Disturbing description of living conditions, in person one can only imagine

"Mom, I'm going upstairs to Austin's house to play a game," Buchanan remembers her daughter saying.

It was about 6:30 p.m. on May 24, the day before Memorial Day. Nevaeh walked out, the door shut and that was the last time Buchanan says she saw her daughter.

"I trusted her enough for her to actually go," Buchanan told the Free Press last week in a 2 1/2 -hour interview, discussing everything from her relationship with two sex offenders to how it feels to be suspected in her child's disappearance.

Hold up, wait a minute....earlier she said that Neveah went upstairs early afternoon.   Neveah's friend's parents said JB picked Neveah up there at about 3:30PM .... this says she went up there at 6:30PM AFTER she soiled herself & had to change herself (unbelievable! - and yes ITA it could be a normal waiting till the last minute OR a sign of sexual abuse).   JB does not mention that she picked Neveah up around 3:30 - what's wrong with this picture!!!

"I trusted her enough for her to actually go," Buchanan told the Free Press last week in a 2 1/2 -hour interview, discussing everything from her relationship with two sex offenders to how it feels to be suspected in her child's disappearance.

Austin Kuhn, 8, and Nevaeh lived in the same building in the Charlotte Arms apartments and played together nearly every day. A child could probably run from Nevaeh's apartment to Austin's door on the second floor in less than 10 seconds.

"I trusted her enough for her to actually go," Buchanan told the Free Press last week in a 2 1/2 -hour interview, discussing everything from her relationship with two sex offenders to how it feels to be suspected in her child's disappearance.

She was wearing knee-length jeans and a baby blue, red-and-white striped shirt with a V-neck white collar. Potty trained, but with a habit of waiting until the last second to use the bathroom, Buchanan said, Nevaeh had just had an accident and changed her clothes.

Buchanan didn't get up from the couch to make sure her daughter made it safely up the stairs. She sat there, she said, watching "Jon & Kate Plus 8."


JB couldnt manage to get up off the couch to aid her daughter - this is ridiculous

About 20 minutes later, a girl Buchanan described as a tattletale knocked on the door.

"She looked right at me and says, 'Nevaeh is on her scooter in the road,' " Buchanan said. "She said the road, but I knew she meant the parking lot."

Buchanan was angry at her daughter and said she looked for her flip-flops so she could go out to find her. A moment later, another girl knocked.

2 girls came to the door now?

"Is Nevaeh home?" Buchanan remembers the girl asking. "And I said, 'She has to be upstairs at Austin's, but she is either out back, or out front, or upstairs at Austin's.' "

Buchanan said she poked her head out the building's back door and glanced at the parking lot where Nevaeh used to ride the scooter. She wasn't there. She looked at the sandbox where she often played. Not there. She glanced at the nearby school playground. Nothing.

"Nevaeh!" she said she screamed.

Buchanan planned to punish her daughter with a time-out. "I was going to yell at her and to tell her to stay out of the road," she said.

She doesn't believe in spanking. "I'm a time-out mom," Buchanan said.

Yea a time out mom - more like an absent, lazy & irresponsible mom - this chick couldnt be bothered!  Why wasnt this beeotch working? Its on the record that she said she did not have a job.
She said she started knocking on doors. Nevaeh wasn't in Austin's apartment.

"I looked everywhere," she said. "I spent at least 45 minutes looking."

The panic started to grow.  She said she told the apartment manager her daughter was missing, circled the building and came around the other side, where she found the purple and green scooter Nevaeh often rode.

"My heart sank," she said, "and my stomach went into knots."

Somebody called the police, and an Amber Alert was issued.   Somebody?  Was it not established she called?

sniped
Sherry Buchanan was granted custody of Nevaeh after Jennifer Buchanan was convicted in 2006 on a first-degree home invasion charge. She had been breaking into homes to support a drug habit.

For the last 2 1/2 months, Sherry, Jennifer and Nevaeh Buchanan have lived together in the two-bedroom apartment.


I'd say this is not rumor any longer-Sherry is at fault for having JB live with her and Neveah, she was granted custody for a reason it wasnt to live with the mother that lost custody.   Certainly not to live in the same residence of her daughter that had known SO's for friends that visited....OMG this is sickening.
SNIPED
"As for the guys, I don't know," she said. "I didn't think it was a crime to have my child around someone. Honestly, no matter who you come across, you don't know who and what they are. You don't know if they are labeled as a sex offender unless you look their name up."   WHAT!

Buchanan said she knew of Kennedy's criminal past.

"I gave him a second chance. I was just befriending him. I confronted him about it. To my knowledge, he was honest to me about it," she said.

"As for Roy, I only knew him for a couple of months. Because he knew George and they had some kind of classes together, I figured Roy had the same offense against him."

She had known Kennedy a couple of years. "If George wanted to do that, he would have done it a little sooner," she said. "That's the way I feel. But I could be wrong."
'I'm completely innocent'   NO YOU ARE NOT!!! YOU ARE CUPABLE TO SAY THE LEAST!!

"I feel like they are putting me under the spotlight," she said. "I feel like they are pointing fingers at me, like I did something intentionally."

She doesn't have a lawyer and says she doesn't need one.   O yes you do!

"I'm completely innocent," she said. "I didn't have anything to do with my daughter's disappearance. I don't do drugs. I hardly ever drink. I don't owe anybody any money. I have hardly any enemies. I don't understand who would come up and take my child."  LIES!
Sniped
"I want to know what happened," Buchanan said. "I'm racking my brains on how this could happen."   Seriously?

The rest, if you notice she offers excuses why Neveah may have been taken - odd.

Buchanan said she poked her head out the building's back door and glanced at the parking lot where Nevaeh used to ride the scooter. So if she knew that Nevaeh used to ride the scooter in the parking lot, why was she angry this time?

Nevaeh's beauty made strangers stop and stare. "Random people would come up to me and compliment me on how beautiful she is," Buchanan said.


She said she has wondered "numerous times" whether her daughter was abducted for her beauty.

This statement just absolutely jumped out at me!!!  OMG!!!!

A ton of inconsistent statements/flat out lies & what makes it worse are the outrageous statements she makes regarding her association to known SO's for years, a self-admittance of things that no reasonable minded parent would do & yet she feels its okay.  Further she makes excuses for herself constantly which is disturbing.   Not to mention her time line is just not adding up.  She knows and/or participated in something connected to Neveah's murder...at the very least her total lack of care & exposure to slimy scumbucket predators led to this heinous crime.

Poked her head out?   Can this stupid beeotch make an effort ever...my God.  I think the fact that she is staying at several "friends" houses as opposed to with her family in a time of grief is extremely telling.

Nevaeh's beauty made strangers stop and stare. "Random people would come up to me and compliment me on how beautiful she is," Buchanan said.


She said she has wondered "numerous times" whether her daughter was abducted for her beauty.

  I know that the huge shock and loss must make a person analyze evrything, but this mother is so out of touch. It's like she's a bystander and  in reality prolly to some degree she was. Grandma did the raising, the working, the caring. I don't get the staements she makes, " her daughter taken for her beauty",  well, usually there's a horror attatched to that, the perp is not going to set her on a pedastal to admire that beauty, ............... she also claimed that this child was like a 10 yr old, so I can only imagine that she herself inadvertantly fanned the flames for any of her SO pals by telling them how gorgeous and unbelievably mature her kid was.  Neveah was not a big kid, she was not even in kindergarten for God sakes. Like a lamb to the slaughter,awful.

This article regarding the location where Neveah was found is just eerie......

snipped

For me, the location is ironic.  I had just completed a story about this very area for the latest edition of Monroe Magazine.  My focus was on good biking routes in Monroe County and I traced a route from the Village of Dundee, along Plank Road, across the Ida-Maybee Road bridge, west along Dixon and then back to Dundee.

That, of course, is the area in which the body of Nevaeh Buchanan was found.  While researching my story, I even stopped at the fishing spot in question and snapped some photos of the nearby railroad bridge.  It chills me to think that just a few weeks after the photos were taken that someone visited the same location with sinister motivations.

It is the perfect avi for this case.  The facts, as they come in, are overwhelming!

This article reminded me of the two fishermen that found Nevaeh's little body. I am sure that that river provided countless people recreation in various ways, if nothing more than to drive down the road and sit and look at the river's flow. Forever more it will be a reminder of a very sad and evil thing that happened to their community. The man and his father will probably never fish that river again as probably untold numbers of people will not be able to seek refuge for a while from the stresses of life by going to or viewing it's banks and the meandering of the murky water. It is sad for the whole community.   ::MonkeyAngel::

I don't know about anyone else's children, but when my daughters were five, they sure didn't have any thinking like a ten year old.

I think the carpet condition might have been the reporter's observation. My thought on it though was Jennifer could have gotten off the couch, rented a carpet cleaner, and cleaned the carpet while her Mom was working. But then, there was a Jon & Kate rerun to watch.
To me that shows where her priorities were. No time for cleaning up your child after an accident, making sure Nevaeh had on shoes, or going outside so she could watch her properly riding her scooter. There was a Jon & Kate rerun to watch........Ugh!

The carpet really bothers me.  Why bother pointing it out and going into detail about it unless there is more to the stains she is nervous about?  Is she pointing it out to cut them off at the pass to hide something?

Hello monkeys -

When I read the article, I personally just took the description of "going down the stairs to the dingey apartment with dirty, stained carpet" to be setting the scene, so to speak - which was very effective in making me, the reader, feel even more sorrow for the conditions that this child has had to live in & the slovenly laziness of her mother . . . not the desired or typical family environment for a little 5 year old . . .

 . . . For what that's worth, anyway!

It was, however, IMO, yet another scenario that proves JB was an unfit parent, and neglected her child. I am still looking for proof that she was using drugs again since she was released - so far I have seen only speculation about that. It would not surprise me in the least if she was high or getting high when Nevaeh supposedly came in to change.

Burial site, vigil draw mourners to pay tribute to Nevaeh Buchanan
Tributes for victim left near river

DUNDEE, Mich. - Sharla Patterson took her children to a spot along the River Raisin - the place where 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan is believed to have been buried - because she was heartsick about the murdered child.

She also wanted to send a message to her four children, ages 7 through 13, about the danger of talking to strangers.

"I hope, out of all of this, that parents have learned to not let their children go outside unsupervised," Mrs. Patterson said Saturday. "I want parents to enjoy their children to the fullest and teach them to be cautious and aware. It's important for kids to know what happened."

A memorial of flowers and stuffed animals to Nevaeh, whose body appears to have been found Thursday after an 11-day search, sprang up along the guard rail that protects vehicles from going into the river.

The Pattersons of Raisinville Township were among mourners who drove to the overlook 20 feet above the site where the body of a girl matching Nevaeh's description was recovered from the shallow grave of dirt and concrete.

The tributes continued to grow as the day got warmer. Cars and trucks stopped and parked along Dixon Road's edge and their occupants went to the ridge to peer down the bank.
A bouquet of roses, daisies, carnations, and baby's breath adorned the hole that been excavated by criminal-evidence specialists.


"We are really sad because she got kidnapped and died," said Jessica, Mrs. Patterson's 7-year-old daughter.

Saturday night, scores of people turned out for a prayer vigil for Nevaeh at the conclusion of the Gathering Praise Festival at St. Mary's Park in Monroe.

Organizers said participants prayed that the person responsible for the tragedy would be found.

Among those attending were Bill and Debbie Shaw. The Shaws said that although they didn't know the girl's family, they took part in the search after Nevaeh was reported missing on May 24.

The body found by two fishermen - a Newport, Mich., man and his stepfather who had never fished from that bank before - was sent Friday to the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office in Detroit for an autopsy and DNA testing to confirm the girl's identity.

Nevaeh was reported missing about 8:30 p.m. May 24 by her mother, Jennifer Buchanan, 24, from the parking lot of their North Macomb Street apartment in Monroe.

Nevaeh's father, Shane Hinojosa, 22, clung to hope that the DNA comparison would show the child is not his daughter and the search could continue.

"We are just waiting on the phone call," Mr. Hinojosa of Toledo said.

"We are just keeping hope for right now that it is not her. We are having a lot of hope and a lot of faith."

Brytnea Patterson, 13, Mrs. Patterson's oldest daughter, said Nevaeh's abduction has left her afraid of being left alone outside.

Ed Zubkoff, who went with friends to the riverbank, had joined in the community volunteer searches. He said he felt that he needed to go to the river bank to help bring closure.

"I still can't get over it. The girl was only 5 years old. It is beyond belief," said Mr. Zubkoff, the father of a 12-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son.

The Rev. Jack Quinlan, a Roman Catholic priest, was among Mr. Zubkoff's companions.

Father Quinlan, pastor of St. John the Baptist Church in Monroe, said a prayer for the girl and her family as he stood near where the child was found.

"Even though we can never replace the loss and bring their loved one back to them, our hearts go out to them and embrace them," he said. "I think we should believe that the child is not lost and is now in the hands of God. Our hope is that we will see her again one day."

Chris Griffor, 32, scaled the rock and dirt bank to take a picture of the shallow grave with his cell phone.

Staring into the empty hole, the LaSalle Township resident suggested putting a stone monument near the guard rail as a permanent memorial to the girl.

"It's so sad to think that somebody took her and did that," he said.

Nevaeh's Mother Says She's Innocent
Test Results Could Come Back Monday

POSTED: Sunday, June 7, 2009
UPDATED: 6:15 pm EDT June 7, 2009


MONROE, Mich. -- As investigators await test results on a child's body found by a southeastern Michigan river, the mother of a missing 5-year-old girl said she's "completely innocent."

Monroe County authorities said Sunday they were pursuing leads as they waited for DNA test results from a state police lab to confirm the body is that of Nevaeh Buchanan. It was discovered Thursday encased in a cement block next to the River Raisin.

"Someone who would take a child ... do what they want with them … bury them in concrete in a shallow grave … you have to have a pretty twisted mind to do something like that," said Nevaeh's uncle Shawn Lawson.

A fisherman made the gruesome discovery.

Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said the body recovered near River Raisin in Raisinville Township matches the age, size and sex of Nevaeh.

"It's hard to wait. Just standing here and wondering and thinking could it be could it not be," said Lawson.

Test results could come as early as Monday.

"I'm completely innocent," said Jennifer Buchanan. "I didn't have anything to do with my daughter's disappearance. I don't do drugs. I hardly ever drink. I don't owe anybody any money. I have hardly any enemies.

"I don't understand who would come up and take my child."

Police haven't announced any suspects in the disappearance.

"That person, to our knowledge is still out there in the community. In my opinion it is a very sick or disturbed person we're looking for -- a person that is able to abduct and murder an innocent 5-year-old child," said Crutchfield.

Two men, Kennedy and Roy Lee Smith, both convicted sex offenders, were named people of interest in the case.

Kennedy told the Toledo Blade that he met Nevaeh's mother two years ago at the parole office. He said he formed a friendship with her out of loneliness.

Jennifer Buchanan has been criticized for befriending two convicted sex offenders.

"There are a lot of people saying it's her fault -- her fault she should have been better about it…but you learn from your mistakes, and sometimes mistakes you can't really take them back, like this situation here," said Lawson.

Kennedy, 39, is being held on suspicion of parole violation. According to his parole, he is not to date a woman who has a child under the age of 17

Nevaeh's grandmother, Sherry Buchanan, got custody of Nevaeh after Jennifer Buchanan was convicted for breaking into homes to support a drug habit.

The three were sharing a Monroe apartment when Nevaeh disappeared May 24.

Sherry Buchanan said the whole ordeal, especially dealing with the family of Nevaeh's father, Shane Hinojosa, has been very difficult on her.

"Hopefully down the road, I can prove I am on the right side of the road and can hold my head up high," she said.

When Local 4 asked her if she felt like she was a suspect, she said no, but that people are always pointing fingers.
"I feel like everyone has a lot of negativity about me," Jennifer Buchanan said. "They don't personally know me. ... I feel like everyone is putting me in the category of ... parents who actually did harm their children. ... It's very frustrating."

Buchanan said she last saw Nevaeh when the girl left the apartment to visit an 8-year-old friend.

"Mom, I'm going upstairs to ... play a game," the mother quoted her daughter as saying.

"I trusted her enough for her to actually go," Buchanan said.

She said she became concerned after two other young girls came by the apartment and she began an increasingly frantic search for her daughter.

She said her heart sank when she found the purple and green scooter Nevaeh often rode.

"My stomach went into knots," Buchanan said. "It's like a nightmare."

Discovery of body could lead police to crucial evidence
Experts outline potential profiles


The grisly way in which a little girl's body was disposed of along a remote stretch of the River Raisin in Monroe County could yield important clues to the identity of her assailant, a top criminal expert says.

The body, believed to be 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan, was found Thursday covered in cement by fishermen who smelled a strange odor and chipped away at what they thought was a concrete block. Nevaeh had been missing from her Monroe apartment complex and presumed abducted since May 24.

While the average person recoils at such gruesome discoveries, the evidence tends to point to "organized" killers who could pass as average Joes, said Ken Lanning, a consultant on crimes against children and a retired FBI agent.

Mr. Lanning and veteran Toledo Detective Frank Stiles, in separate interviews late last week, cautioned it is too soon to conclude there was a sexual motivation to the killing of the young girl.

"It's a possibility, but there needs to be more evidence," said Mr. Stiles, author of two books on high-profile Toledo homicides and chief investigator for the Lucas County prosecutor's office.

Police have identified two sexual offenders - friends of the girl's mother - as persons of interest. They are not suspects, Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said.
Detective Stiles and Mr. Lanning said they had no direct knowledge of this case and said they were speaking about such crimes generally.


Sexual assault is the first thing that people think of when they hear about the abduction and killing of a child, Mr. Lanning said. But it is one of many motivations. They can occur as a result of kidnappings gone wrong - either by someone seeking ransom or out of a desire to raise a child. They can be carried out by killers with no sexual interest in the child. They can be revenge killings committed by someone with a grudge against a family member.

Despite public perception, 99 percent of child abductions end in the quick return of the victim, Mr. Lanning said.

But one study of 500 abductions that ended in a homicide found that the child died within three hours of being taken, he added.

"You look at what happened and then you try to evaluate why it happened and hopefully it will lead you to the kind of person who did it," Mr. Lanning said.

Haphazardly discarded bodies found quickly tend to point to killers who are "disorganized" because of drug use, alcohol use, mental illness, youth, or other factors.

In other situations, assailants deliberately "display" bodies along heavily traveled highways where they will be seen. These crimes tend to be committed by perpetrators who are sending a message to the victim's family or society, Mr. Lanning said.

"Organized" killers who seek to conceal remains are generally thought to be more intelligent, more calculating, and calmer than other killers. And it can be a sign that the assailant has killed before. "These are not absolute categories," he cautioned.

That is how it is in some neighborhoods I think...or how it used to be anyway in the early 80's. What if the whole "community" allows their kids to run about or play in the courtyard? Than does that make JB worse than any other mother there? Just food for thought. I really don't like the way she's changed her stories nor hung out with SO's ( something my mom never did anyway... like they even had a name back then, but no I was never preyed upon). I'm not directing these questions at you NRCG... I just had to laugh at what I had bolded based upon my own life history.

Fanny I think that the autopsy results will be what really moves this case along.  I am praying that she was not molested either recently or signs from previously.  I think the Sherriff said results would be early in the week but I am sure if they find any DNA that matches what they had collected from suspects that they will delay the release until they can circle their wagons so to speak.

I grew up in the 60's, and we also were out running around, and only came home for meal time, and out again.

I am also concerned that the profiler in the article points out that a burial is generally done by  an organized person and perhaps someone who has done this before.
I am too, part of it seemed organized, part of it seemed very sloppy.

Fanny I think that the autopsy results will be what really moves this case along.  I am praying that she was not molested either recently or signs from previously.  I think the Sherriff said results would be early in the week but I am sure if they find any DNA that matches what they had collected from suspects that they will delay the release until they can circle their wagons so to speak.

I am hoping the same thing. But the signs are there. If she didn't have clothes on, acording to the reports, and was practically thrown away in that fashion, you can't hardly not let your mind go down that road. I really wish her mom had been more vigilant and had not associated herself with the kinds of people that this child should not be around. I wish Nevaeh had had a better life. If it is true that as a five year old she had such freedom to roam and her mom thought she was 10 yrs old in her mind, what must we be dealing with here?

Amid suspicion and public scorn, Jennifer Buchanan denies killing daughter Nevaeh

BY JEFF SEIDEL
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER

In a cramped apartment, a portrait of a little girl is propped up on an old TV set, framed by candles.

It is a darling picture, taken at preschool.

Jennifer Buchanan faces the makeshift memorial, saying she can't imagine why anyone would have taken Nevaeh Buchanan, her 5-year-old daughter.

She begins to tell the story of the final moments when, she says, she thought Nevaeh went off to play with a friend.

And then was gone.

It's a story Buchanan has not told in so much detail before. And it's a story investigators are still scrutinizing.

Nevaeh's disappearance, for now, remains a mystery -- two weeks after she was last seen outside her Monroe apartment, just three days after a body, whose identity still is unconfirmed, was found encased in a concrete grave along a riverbank.

The search continues for the person who could have done this to a pretty girl who loved trucks and motorcycles, crayons and macaroni and cheese.

A girl whose life may have ended three days after she raced across a stage and -- all smiles -- grabbed her preschool certificate.

As suspicion swirls, mother tells her story


Down a flight of stairs, inside a dingy two-bedroom apartment, Jennifer Buchanan gave an account of her final moments with her daughter. She spent those precious minutes on a brown couch, watching reruns of "Jon & Kate Plus 8."


In the story Buchanan tells, 5-year-old Nevaeh walked barefoot across the old brown carpet, worn and stained, and headed for the front door.


"Mom, I'm going upstairs to Austin's house to play a game," Buchanan remembers her daughter saying.


It was about 6:30 p.m. on May 24, the day before Memorial Day. Nevaeh walked out, the door shut and that was the last time Buchanan says she saw her daughter.


"I trusted her enough for her to actually go," Buchanan told the Free Press last week in a 2 1/2 -hour interview, discussing everything from her relationship with two sex offenders to how it feels to be suspected in her child's disappearance.


Austin Kuhn, 8, and Nevaeh lived in the same building in the Charlotte Arms apartments and played together nearly every day. A child could probably run from Nevaeh's apartment to Austin's door on the second floor in less than 10 seconds.


She was wearing knee-length jeans and a baby blue, red-and-white striped shirt with a V-neck white collar. Potty trained, but with a habit of waiting until the last second to use the bathroom, Buchanan said, Nevaeh had just had an accident and changed her clothes.


Buchanan didn't get up from the couch to make sure her daughter made it safely up the stairs. She sat there, she said, watching "Jon & Kate Plus 8."


About 20 minutes later, a girl Buchanan described as a tattletale knocked on the door.


"She looked right at me and says, 'Nevaeh is on her scooter in the road,' " Buchanan said. "She said the road, but I knew she meant the parking lot."


Buchanan was angry at her daughter and said she looked for her flip-flops so she could go out to find her. A moment later, another girl knocked.


"Is Nevaeh home?" Buchanan remembers the girl asking. "And I said, 'She has to be upstairs at Austin's, but she is either out back, or out front, or upstairs at Austin's.' "


Buchanan said she poked her head out the building's back door and glanced at the parking lot where Nevaeh used to ride the scooter. She wasn't there. She looked at the sandbox where she often played. Not there. She glanced at the nearby school playground. Nothing.
So the timeline is between 6:30-6:50 according to JB..... but didn't Austin's mom say JB picked her up at 330 to go shopping? So if JB is to be believed Neveah either lied to go play on her scooter ( I don't buy that), or was approached by someone on her way ( or just outside her door) to Austin's. Have these two girls been talked to by the police? We have only heard about these girls by JB...surely the police know the answer to that question

"Nevaeh!" she said she screamed.


Buchanan planned to punish her daughter with a time-out. "I was going to yell at her and to tell her to stay out of the road," she said.


She doesn't believe in spanking. "I'm a time-out mom," Buchanan said.


She said she started knocking on doors. Nevaeh wasn't in Austin's apartment.


"I looked everywhere," she said. "I spent at least 45 minutes looking."


The panic started to grow.


She said she told the apartment manager her daughter was missing, circled the building and came around the other side, where she found the purple and green scooter Nevaeh often rode.


"My heart sank," she said, "and my stomach went into knots."


Somebody called the police, and an Amber Alert was issued.

'It's like a nightmare'


Investigators don't know what happened that day or how Nevaeh vanished. They've questioned Buchanan extensively, and the public has turned its attention to her, the choices she has made, the friends she chose.


Over the last two weeks, Buchanan says she has lived at the epicenter of a horror story.


"It's like a nightmare," she said Wednesday morning, starting to cry. "I can't wait to wake up."


She spent several days with friends searching all over Monroe County -- in the woods, by the quarries, in abandoned buildings -- sometimes returning to the same spot five or six times, whistling, stopping to cry, stopping to scream and wondering what was next.


She yelled her daughter's name until she was hoarse.


On Thursday afternoon, fishermen discovered a body covered in concrete about a foot from the River Raisin in Monroe County.


Though it hasn't been confirmed, the description of the child's body fits Nevaeh.

'She was always a good baby'


A tomboy who loved motorcycles and trucks, Nevaeh, whose name is heaven spelled backward, didn't like dresses and was content to watch "The Jungle Book" over and over.


"I'd get a headache from it," said Sherry Buchanan, Nevaeh's grandmother. "I'd say, 'OK, that's enough, Nevaeh.' And she'd say, 'Just one more time, Grandma.'


"I never had any trouble with that kid. She always called me grandma. Sometimes, she'd slip up and say, 'mommy.'


"I'd say, that's OK. Don't worry. She was always a good baby."


Sherry Buchanan was granted custody of Nevaeh after Jennifer Buchanan was convicted in 2006 on a first-degree home invasion charge. She had been breaking into homes to support a drug habit.


For the last 2 1/2 months, Sherry, Jennifer and Nevaeh Buchanan have lived together in the two-bedroom apartment.


Nevaeh named all of her stuffed animals. The black Lab is Tank. Her favorite, a beagle, is named Harley.


"Harley went to school with her," Sherry Buchanan said. "Harley went to bed with her."


Harley still smells like Nevaeh.


When she disappeared, her grandmother got comfort in sleeping with Tank. Jennifer Buchanan slept with Harley.


"I'd give anything in the world to have her come running through that door," Sherry Buchanan said.

'This is horrible'


In the eyes of some, Jennifer Buchanan quickly transformed from a sympathetic figure into a villain as word got out that she was friends with two convicted sex offenders.


The cable TV show "Nancy Grace" focused last week on 24-year-old Buchanan and her relationships with George Kennedy and Roy Smith, both of whom are from Monroe.


Court records show Smith, 48, was convicted of third-degree criminal sexual conduct after a woman said he raped her twice in his car in 1991. Kennedy, 39, was convicted in 2002 of raping a 15-year-old girl behind a gas station.


Grace interviewed Nevaeh's father, Shane Hinojosa, 22, of Toledo, who hasn't seen his daughter in three years.


"What can you tell me about your daughter being exposed by her mother to a registered sex offender?" Grace asked incredulously. "In fact, more than one."


"Oh, I'm furious," he replied.


On another show, Grace asked a psychologist about the case.


"This is horrible," the psychologist said. "The mother's judgment is atrocious. How could she be with a sex offender and have a little girl in the home? It's just horrible."


A short time later, another guest slammed Buchanan: "Mom is a title of honor. She doesn't deserve that honor. She was never a mother."


The voices and opinions screamed an unsubstantiated accusation: Jennifer Buchanan was to blame.

'They don't ... know me'


Back in Michigan, Buchanan said she was being attacked by people who had never met her.


"I feel like everyone has a lot of negativity about me," she said. "They don't personally know me. ... I feel like everyone is putting me in the category of ... parents who actually did harm their children. ... It's very frustrating."


Grace, she said, "is completely wrong. ... I didn't leave her playing outside. She was supposed to be playing upstairs on that day at that specific time."


Both Kennedy and Smith are now in jail on possible parole violations. Neither has been charged in connection with Nevaeh's suspected death, but Buchanan said she doesn't know what to think about them anymore.


"As for the guys, I don't know," she said. "I didn't think it was a crime to have my child around someone. Honestly, no matter who you come across, you don't know who and what they are. You don't know if they are labeled as a sex offender unless you look their name up."


Buchanan said she knew of Kennedy's criminal past.


"I gave him a second chance. I was just befriending him. I confronted him about it. To my knowledge, he was honest to me about it," she said.


"As for Roy, I only knew him for a couple of months. Because he knew George and they had some kind of classes together, I figured Roy had the same offense against him."


She had known Kennedy a couple of years. "If George wanted to do that, he would have done it a little sooner," she said. "That's the way I feel. But I could be wrong."

'I'm completely innocent'


Buchanan said she met with police and the FBI at least four times. One interview lasted about five hours.


"I feel like they are putting me under the spotlight," she said. "I feel like they are pointing fingers at me, like I did something intentionally."


She doesn't have a lawyer and says she doesn't need one.


"I'm completely innocent," she said. "I didn't have anything to do with my daughter's disappearance. I don't do drugs. I hardly ever drink. I don't owe anybody any money. I have hardly any enemies. I don't understand who would come up and take my child."


Last week, Buchanan gave police permission to search her home.


The detectives took part of her computer and, she said, they asked her what Web sites she has visited recently.


Buchanan also was interviewed by behavioral specialists from the FBI. "They were asking me about my background and what" Nevaeh "was like," she said. "They went all the way back to how I felt when I was pregnant."

'She meant the world to me'


Nevaeh didn't trust strangers. And Buchanan said she didn't think her daughter would have gone silently, without at fight.


Two weeks before her daughter's disappearance, they were at a Relay for Life event at Bedford High School in Temperance.


"We were walking, and people were passing out candy. She would take no candy from anybody," Buchanan said.


Nevaeh must have put up a fight or known the person who snatched her.


"I want to know what happened," Buchanan said. "I'm racking my brains on how this could happen."


Nevaeh's beauty made strangers stop and stare. "Random people would come up to me and compliment me on how beautiful she is," Buchanan said.


She said she has wondered "numerous times" whether her daughter was abducted for her beauty.


Nevaeh finished preschool three days before she disappeared.


"She was very excited to graduate," Buchanan said. "She ran, literally ran like a track runner, across that stage to get her certificate. I was so proud of her.


"She meant the world to me. I adored her. It's hard, just talking about her."


Neighbors described Nevaeh as shy. "She was adorable, a cute little girl with a ponytail," said Haley Jennings, 39, who lived on the second floor of Nevaeh's apartment complex. "Kind of timid. ... Her voice was real soft. She was real fragile, real precious.


"She kind of clutched close. She wasn't one to wander."


Everyone in the apartment complex has grown suspicious, Jennings said. She is upset thinking that the person who took Nevaeh is still out there. "It's petrifying."

Little voices


On Friday morning, the day after the body was found, TV crews gathered in the parking lot, waiting for Buchanan to come out of her apartment.

Neighbors talked about their grief, sharing their fears, showing their anger as police searched for a killer.

At a makeshift memorial in front of the apartment, a candle flickered in the breeze and a pinwheel spun round and round.

Screams could be heard in the distance. Children ran around a school playground, yelling and screaming and laughing and clapping, so full of life. So full of innocence.

Little voices in the wind.

Just like Nevaeh.



My comments in red. Of course her scooter was found on the side of the building. Assuming JB's story is true would mean the "tattletale" saw Neveah, went to tell her mom, and in the time it takes JB to find shoes...she goes missing? Nope. I wanna hear from the "tattletale" that she saw Neveah at that time ::MonkeyNoNo::

This is so disturbing, and the little one didn't even have shoes on. And was it necessary for the mother to describe how awful the carpeting was  ::MonkeyEek:: She also made some comment about even though she was five she was like a ten year old. I don't know about anyone else's children, but when my daughters were five, they sure didn't have any thinking like a ten year old. And when my kids were playing, I wasn't plopped in front of a tv not watching what was going on.

I'm sorry I have to  ::MonkeyLaugh:: at your comment.... when I was five I started sneaking cigarettes and playing spin the bottle! Our neighborhood was jam packed with kids in N Hollywood CA.... and we didn't come in til supper and then back out til dark. Was my mom lazy ( not that I am defending JB here), no she wasn't. That is how it is in some neighborhoods I think...or how it used to be anyway in the early 80's. What if the whole "community" allows their kids to run about or play in the courtyard? Than does that make JB worse than any other mother there? Just food for thought. I really don't like the way she's changed her stories nor hung out with SO's ( something my mom never did anyway... like they even had a name back then, but no I was never preyed upon). I'm not directing these questions at you NRCG... I just had to laugh at what I had bolded based upon my own life history.
I grew up in the 60's, and we also were out running around, and only came home for meal time, and out again.

Ha! I think you grow up fast in California... N Hollywood was no small town btw, and not affluent either. But I know what you mean about small towns... my kids are being raised on the outskirts of a small town ::MonkeyHaHa::

I don't agree with the profiler...........WHOA, I know. But if you served time for anything I think you would learn to cover your crime!

My kids grew up in the 60's and 70's too. At the time we lived in a small secluded subdivision, where there was only one way in and out. Most of our children were allowed to play freely, but at time it was mostly stay-at-home mothers that were on the lookout for not only their kids, but for the neighbor kids. If someone wasn't seen for a while, you can bet the phone lines were hot between homes, and most of the time we knew exactly where they were.

The rule in our neighborhood was that it was time to come home when the church bells rung at 6pm. During the summer, it was when the street light came on. I can guarantee you that my kids were barefooted in the summertime, but as cold as it was Memorial Weekend this year in Michigan, it was no time for bare feet.

Times are so different now. I can't imagine anywhere where it is safe to let you children, girls or boys, out of eyesight. If I had small children now, I would look at a shadow plastered behind them. And obviously, with so many sexual predators around Jennifer, it was no place for Nevaeh to be alone. I keep going back to the mother, but saying she is absolutely innocent in this is mind boggling. Most any mother would be consumed with guilt as to what she could have done to prevent this. All she seems to be concerned with is proclaiming her innocence and taking up for her predator friends.

I'm thinking that maybe when the little boy said she was stabbed in the stomach with a knife it might have been a needle or possibly a gun put to her stomach. this might look like a stabbing to a little boy. i hate to even think this and hope this isnt what happened but this was my first thought when it was said, this may be why she didnt fight the person or scream... maybe??

LESLIE, I always looked younger than my age, and nobody took me seriously, although I tried to be serious and official in my jobs. Now that I am older and I am beginning to look my age, nobody takes me seriously either. What's that all about?????? ::MonkeyDevil::

Times have definitely changed though, and at least we are not wondering where Nevaeh is. That was a terrible time during the search for Caylee for me. There were nights that I could not sleep, thinking she was out in the elements. Even worse to find out that she had been all that time.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

I hope they have properly talked to the little boy about what he said. I am hoping that it wasn't her being abused before and the pain of what happen felt like a knife to her stomach. I'm not sure that is what either of them were trying to relay. It may have been something she told him at another time and when she came up missing, he remembered it.

thats true,it could have been something she said to the little boy. someone could have given her something <drugs>? that made her stomach hurt and she said that to the little boy. i dont think the little boy made it up tho. and perhaps the mother of the little boy said he didnt see anything coz she wanted to protect him. being the perp is out there somewhere. and i think that perp is james easter. he has a relative by the name of mamie that lives in toledo,ohio and is close to where Nevaeh was found, in fact it is a straight run from james easter to this mamie's residence. which is ruffly a 2 hr drive. h,,,mmmmm??

I'm thinking that maybe when the little boy said she was stabbed in the stomach with a knife it might have been a needle or possibly a gun put to her stomach. this might look like a stabbing to a little boy. i hate to even think this and hope this isnt what happened but this was my first thought when it was said, this may be why she didnt fight the person or scream... maybe??

I hope they have properly talked to the little boy about what he said. I am hoping that it wasn't her being abused before and the pain of what happen felt like a knife to her stomach. I'm not sure that is what either of them were trying to relay. It may have been something she told him at another time and when she came up missing, he remembered it. So many unanswered questions.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

Hi Annette.... nice to meet you. I had posted my theory about that situation a cage back. I think previously Nevaeh may have told the boy about "Daddy George" doing things to her. She may have explained how it made her hurt like being stabbed in the stomach. Then when cops questioned him he related this story, out of context of course but not really concocted either.

3:30 Mom shows up at apt. upstairs and says she is taking Neveah to the store
6:30 "tattletale" comes and tells JB that Nevaeh is riding her bike on the road

When does JB and Nevaeh get back from the store?

When does JB feed Neveah dinner?

When does Neveah go back out?

The first two questions could very well trip her up.  Which store, I'd like to see if they can ascertain a surveillance tape to prove she went to a store with Neveah.

Good Morning Monkeys and Guests. ::MonkeyAngel::

I am troubled this morning about Jennifer referring to the child that came and told her that Nevaeh was riding her scooter in the street.
She refered to her as a "tattletale" as if it was a bother to her that some child was telling her that Nevaeh was doing something that  she shouldn't have been doing. I wonder how long Jennifer would have waited if she hadn't come to tell her?

I am not believing this story anyhow. I think the incident may have happened earlier in the day if at all. None of her stories are making any sense, nor is the babble coming from her mouth. She should do herself a favor and shut up to the media.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

When your child is missing you should have one story. Granted different things might pop into your head, oh, I forgot, it wasn't a blue shirt, it was a blue shirt with some red in it, or whatever. Things that you are adding, that slipped your mind, that would actually help. All her talk is to help herself, and her so called friend. With her comment about Nevaeh's beauty, I feel she stopped short of blaming the child, because you were pretty that's why she was taken. Mother was jealous.

Thanks for that update Capp.  I have been following that story ....I hope they can narrow down from the DNA who did this.  Those poor little girls , gunned down on a country road not far from their home.  Just horrendous!

Is Neveah's Mom still staying with friends?  I ask, because everone was quoting the article where J had the shrine to Neveah and the dirty carpet.  I thought maybe that was the friends apartment....guess it is wishful thinking on my part.

Autopsy results due in Nevaeh case

Search continues for clues in Monroe girl's disappearance

BY TAMMY STABLES BATTAGLIA
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER

The wait continues today for results of an autopsy in the Nevaeh Buchanan case, as investigators work to find a killer.

The Wayne County Medical Examiner’s office may have more information by noon, a spokesman said this morning. Investigators told her family the clothes found on the body discovered encased in concrete along the River Raisin on Thursday match what the missing 5-year-old was wearing when she disappeared two weeks ago. But investigators’ forensic tests are trying to match DNA evidence to Nevaeh, heaven spelled backward.


The Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office had not yet released the cause of death, saying further testing is needed because there were no outward signs of trauma or other obvious indicators explaining how the girl died.


The girl's family could ultimately be asked to view the body for visual identification, authorities said.


"It's like a nightmare," her mother, Jennifer Buchanan, told the Free Press. "I can't wait to wake up."


• MORE: Mother denies role in Nevaeh's disappearance


Nevaeh disappeared while riding her scooter outside her apartment. Investigators put two of her mother’s friends – convicted sex offenders -- in jail during the investigation on unrelated parole violations. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has vacillated on whether the department has persons of interest in the case, but there’s been no word on whether they’re close to making an arrest.


Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office tipline at 734-457-6713.

But even if Nevaeh had told her that, if it was really true that she came and told Jennifer, I think that would have been the last thing I would have ever said about a child that came to alert me to my daughter and then I found her missing. Like I said, I don't think that is the way it happened, just another Jenniferism.   ::MonkeyRoll::

Nevaeh's family must wait for DNA test
State Police crime lab conducts test

Updated at 11:05 a.m.
Family members of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan will have to wait on DNA results before they officially learn if the body discovered Thursday along the River Raisin in Raisinville Township is hers, authorities said this morning.

Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said last week that there's "reasonable suspicion" that the little girl found is Nevaeh, but family members have said they're holding out hope until she's positively identified.


Initially, authorities hoped to ID the girl based on dental records, but Nevaeh had never had dental X-rays, her family members said. The family has not been asked to visually identify the girl because of the condition of the body, authorities said.


The girl found Thursday had been buried beneath a layer of concrete near the water "for quite a while," Crutchfield said Friday. On Monday, he released a statement saying that the identification hinges on the Michigan State Police's crime lab, which is running the DNA testing.


Authorities also said that forensic testing still is under way on items discovered at the grave site.

Investigators told her family the clothes found on the body match what the missing 5-year-old was wearing when she disappeared two weeks ago. But investigators’ forensic tests are trying to match DNA evidence to Nevaeh, heaven spelled backward.

The Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office had not yet released the cause of death, saying further testing is needed because there were no outward signs of trauma or other obvious indicators explaining how the girl died.

MONROE (WTOL) - 5 year-old Nevaeh Buchanan disappeared from the Charlotte Arms apartments in Monroe two weeks ago.

Investigators say they are almost certain the body recovered Thursday is Nevaeh. Family members expect to find out for sure Monday or Tuesday.

An autopsy was done Friday but the results have not been released.

Nevaeh's mother Jennifer Buchanan, who no longer wants her face shown on TV, told a Detroit TV station she is still hoping its not her daughter. "I still have hope. There is no indefinite, like, confirmation, as to if it is her or not. Some one could have took her. Somebody... I'm completely clueless, I don't know as to who, I don't want to point fingers at anyone."

Two men identified as persons of interest in the case are behind bars on unrelated charges. No arrests have been made and police have not identified any suspects.

Personally I would break down the door and plead to see the remains, I would have to regardless of the condition of the body. Can you, if you insist, or would this be something that LE or whoever could demand you not visually see the remains? I would die trying to, but that's me. I couldn't go on, without at least being sure that was my child.

This woman has had me stomach turning & utterly nauseous.   Her statements are making her all the more suspicious that she either knows something and/or is responsible for something.    She doesnt want to point fingers at anyone....hmmm usually guilty people make utterances like this.   What all of a sudden since her SO friends were transferred back to jail she doesnt want to appear on TV anymore, beeotch please!

Actually, I dont think so - not sure I would want that being my last visual memory, o God heaven forbid.   As  a very observant & responsible parent I'd know by clothes for tentative purposes & DNA thru other means will identify her (blood, bone marrow).   It is much different when its a loved one, even for seasoned individuals that deal with homicides & forensic evidence.

As far as JB goes, she knows its her - no doubt in my mind.

I would then have to die trying, I have trust issues, I don't trust, and I would never believe what was told to me regarding my child. My eyes would have to see, otherwise.........

Pathologist: Cause of death difficult
Heat, water problematic for finding outward clues of how child died
BY AMBER HUNT • FREE PRESS STAFF • June 8, 2009


Without outward signs of trauma, figuring out how 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan died will prove difficult if the girl indeed was buried for two weeks in hot weather along the River Raisin, a pathologist told the Free Press.


 
Werner Spitz — who retired in 2004 as Macomb County's medical examiner and has conducted some 60,000 autopsies — said authorities likely will have to rely on circumstantial evidence if reports are true that the girl found in a shallow, riverside grave suffered no broken bones, stab wounds or gunshots.

"You would have a lot of problems," Spitz said this morning. "You would not find evidence of drowning, you would not find bruising, you would not find strangulation."


That's because the decomposition process would have been speedy because of the heat and the possibility that water from the river could have reached the crude grave.


An employee with the National Weather Service in White Lake Township said the hottest day in metro Detroit between the time Nevaeh disappeared May 24 and the girl's body was discovered was May 29, when it reached a high of 79 degrees.


"In this weather, even if she was dry at this time of year, you would find a lot of difficulty in finding evidence of blue-and-black bruising marks, abrasions or skin injuries," Spitz said.


Also, the skeleton structure in a 5-year-old's neck is pliable, so if the neck had been compressed in strangulation, it would have straightened out. As for drowning, he said: "Drowning is a difficult diagnosis to make when the body is fresh, so you can imagine what it would be like now.


"Most of what forensic pathologists base their opinions on is from the body's surface," he added. "Without seeing the body, I can tell you that most of the opining on cause of death here is going to be circumstantial."


That state of decomposition is one reason authorities are waiting on DNA test results to officially verify that the girl discovered Thursday by fishermen is definitely Nevaeh. In cases involving less decomposition, family members typically are asked to identify the body. In this case, authorities are trying to spare the family the trauma of seeing the girl in such disturbing conditions.

No autopsy results yet
MONROE, Mich. (AP) - Police say they don't yet have autopsy results from a body they believe to be that of Nevaeh (nuh-VAY'-uh) Buchanan, a 5-year-old Monroe girl who has been missing since May 24.

The autopsy is being conducted by the Wayne County medical examiner's office. The Monroe County sheriff also submitted evidence gathered from the gravesite to the Michigan State Police crime lab in Northville.

The sheriff's office said Monday no results had come back from either the medical examiner or the crime lab.

When you consider Beth Holloway's words to both Greta and Nancy Grace in regards to the main suspect's interviews on the American talk show circuit discussing the disappearance of her daughter while on an Aruban graduation trip ... talking can be a good thing.  After all it is said that... a liar has to have a good memory to keep his/her story straight.

Neveaeh's cause of death to be elusive
Weeks may pass before cause of death details released

BY AMBER HUNT • FREE PRESS STAFF • June 8, 2009

Updated at 3:17 p.m.

It could be weeks before the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office releases details in the cause of death of a little girl believed to be Nevaeh Buchanan, Medical Examiner Carl Schmidt announced this afternoon.
 
The results are pending, Schmidt said in an afternoon news release, and "may remain pending as the investigation continues."

"Tissue samples were sent for special testing," the statement says.

NEVAEH AMYAH BUCHANAN

Hey guys - this is NOT Neveah's picture!!!!

The news surce you got it from:
(http://www.alternativehealthjournal.com/article/nevaeh_buchanan_body_found/3461) must have gotten it mixed up within their missing children files. I noticed this pic & link were shown clear back on page 83 of the thread that has been closed, posted earlier today - - - I am just getting caught up on all of today's postings after work, & was going to comment on it being posted back there - but putting it up here is even worse!!! Yikes!

The pic you have shown here is the little girl who was abducted by a parent in southern CA - we were surmising that it might be the child of parole officer with the last name Espinosa who lives in Timothy Lawless' house in Folsom, CA. I have attached the comparative collage I did way back in the Timothy Lawless discussion area weeks ago . . . because I did this layout, I recognized this little girl. . .

Could we please get this changed right away?!? This is just so wrong on a number of levels to post a giant pic of someone else's child . . .

Thank you. (with all due respect)

What's the missing child's name?

Hiya Stacey and monkeys!

The sheriff did say there was no outward signs of trauma. I am betting they are not letting the family ID her because she doesn't look anything like the little girl they know and love.

She spent 11 days out there in the elements. Hot sun, possibly rain, bugs, all those elements....it's not something anyone should have to see. I give ME's, LE's and people that work in the funeral industry kudos. I wouldn't be able to do their jobs for all the money in the world.

I'd have way more to be worried about if I had just found out my child was dead and murdered than worrying about what people thought of me.

You are right, both of you. LE is hoping she keeps talking. I agree.


There is some CollegeKid over at MonroeTalks saying the mom hasn't said anything inconsistent and that having Nevaeh around SO's wasn't JB's problem because Grandma had custody and Nevaeh wasn't under her mom's care. Idiot.

rosie...I have said it before about this mom too...that she needs to shut up...sick of listening to her defending herself and her relationship with her SO friends...of course the more she talks the more she gets herself in deeper...I think that we just want to sock this wackadoodle and tell her to shut up till she can tell the darn truth and stop sticking up for her relationship with the characters that may have had something to do with her own child's death!

Hi Rosie -
Unfortunately I do not remember this girl's name - and all of the posts about it are BURIED over there in the gazillions of pages of posts trying to link Timothy Lawless to Melissa Huckaby. The child's last name is Espinosa, it was believed to be a parental abduction (custody battle?) back in March, lives in So. Cal. area where MH grew up & her mother lives (La Habra?). I will continue to try to find those posts to retrieve her name for you. I pulled the huge pic out of the post above because it was bothering me to keep posting it - don't know anything about the current status of this one. Here is the comparison we were doing (smaller pics . . .):

Jeezy Creezy - regarding my post above with the wrong child's pic - I just followed the link posted above where the incorrect image was originally found (http://www.alternativehealthjournal.com/article/nevaeh_buchanan_body_found/3461) - hoping that they had caught their mistake as well & changed it . . . Not only is the wrong pic still up, but they have set up a Facebook page for the memory of Neveaeh - USING THE WRONG PICTURE AGAIN! This is terrible.

I WILL find the name of that little girl, & contact those web sites to get this straightened out! Sheesh. Keep y'all posted.

Everybody is right, mother should keep talking, I don't even know why I said that, except, I guess I'm sick of lies coming out of her mouth, and all the different story changes. And I certainly understand why people would not want to see the remains of their child under these kind of circumstances.

rosie...I have said it before about this mom too...that she needs to shut up...sick of listening to her defending herself and her relationship with her SO friends...of course the more she talks the more she gets herself in deeper...I think that we just want to sock this wackadoodle and tell her to shut up till she can tell the darn truth and stop sticking up for her relationship with the characters that may have had something to do with her own child's death!

AMEN gal pal!

The line forms to the right.....>>>>>>>>>>

I for one am in that line!!!

NEVAEH AMYAH BUCHANAN


(Photo source www.alternativehealthjournal.com)

Hey guys - this is NOT Neveah's picture!!!!

The news source you got it from:
(http://www.alternativehealthjournal.com/article/nevaeh_buchanan_body_found/3461) must have gotten it mixed up within their missing children files. I noticed this pic & link were shown clear back on page 83 of the thread that has been closed, posted earlier today - - - I am just getting caught up on all of today's postings after work, & was going to comment on it being posted back there - but putting it up here is even worse!!! Yikes!

The pic you have shown here is the little girl who was abducted by a parent in southern CA - we were surmising that it might be the child of parole officer with the last name Espinosa who lives in Timothy Lawless' house in Folsom, CA. I have attached the comparative collage I did way back in the Timothy Lawless discussion area weeks ago . . . because I did this layout, I recognized this little girl. . .

Could we please get this changed right away?!? This is just so wrong on a number of levels to post a giant pic of someone else's child . . .

Thank you. (with all due respect)

What's the missing child's name?

Hi Rosie -
Unfortunately I do not remember this girl's name - and all of the posts about it are BURIED over there in the gazillions of pages of posts trying to link Timothy Lawless to Melissa Huckaby. The child's last name is Espinosa, it was believed to be a parental abduction (custody battle?) back in March, lives in So. Cal. area where MH grew up & her mother lives (La Habra?). I will continue to try to find those posts to retrieve her name for you. I pulled the huge pic out of the post above because it was bothering me to keep posting it - don't know anything about the current status of this one. Here is the comparison we were doing (smaller pics . . .):

I believe this is Maya Espinosa.  She was abducted by a noncustodial parent with her brother, Rojo.  They've been recovered safely.

I rather not got into details because my emotions wont allow it, but I strongly believe the cause of Navaeh's death with not remain elusive.  It will be determined, if it hasn't already. I am confident of that.

You just described a long-lost cousin of mine.  She was beautiful until she began experimenting with drugs.  Her life has been a snowball ever since.  Abusive relationships, in and out of rehab.  Last time I saw her a few years ago, I looked into her eyes and saw darkness.  It was like peering into the eyes of a mannequin.  Cold, no sense of conscience.  It was quite sad.

Hi Monkeys

I have just listened to the Part 1 interview that Jennifer Buchanan gave with our Local Radio Station - 95.5.
SHE called in to the Radio Station to speak with our Morning Show hosts. Mojo & The Morning show.

It is interesting because in the very beginning of the interview - Mojo sounds almost shocked that he has her Calling in. She states that LE has just left her apt " ten mins prior" to her calling in to give her Live interview. That LE says the autopsy is inclusive to prove that ( at this time ) the body found is Neveah. That her Body is not recognizable - and they have to wait for further testing.

Please go to the Link and Listen.

http://mojo.channel955.com/pages/home.html

I have only listened to part 1 of the interview. I have written notes. But while your all here - I would like you all to hear it and so we can talk.
I really think that " JB" should have an Atty - she is ignorant and yet street smart - I believe she ran to the phone right after LE left ..and got on live Radio for her own Benefits.
She admits not straight out yet implies several times that George may be responsible for Neveah's Death.
Again I listened to the first part which is over 10 mins long - and NOT Once does she say her Daughter's Name. Not one Time.

Jess ... it is sad.

Eldest son humbled his father and I with his definant attitude for about three years when he was a teen but thankfully drug or alcohol abuse never entered into the equation.  It did not happen overnight but following high school graduation there was a gradually maturing and ... by his mid twenties he had returned to the established foundation he had adhered to until everything went wrong.

However ... what I have observed in a couple of incidences with young people that I have been associated with ... drug/alcohol abuse entered the picture in those defiant years but ... when maturity eventually set in ... it was very difficult/impossible to turn their lives around ... very difficult/impossible to dicipline themselves to make the right choice.

I am sooo against legalizing these mind altering drugs.  I believe that the more accessible these drugs are ... the more young people will will make the immature choice of experimenting while not comprehending the long term ... far reaching effects.

After Mojo asks JB what were you thinking of allowing Sex Offender's around your daughter and she replies that she felt nothing was wrong with her having a relationship with SO's ( George)

Live interview with JB - she called into the Local Detroit Radio Station.
after LE leaving her home this morning - June 8,2009

If you listen at 5:45 approx - on audio

She responds to questions of George Kennedy having involvement with her Daughters death

She says I am pretty sure ( garble) something of the effect He and his Girlfriend implying they are involved with Neveah's disappearance/death and or could be someone that knew Him ..He may have Owed someone Money ...I think .. yadda

Then she says I am innocent and had nothing to do with my Daughter's disappearance (**
what about her death is my Question ) Maybe she did not take her, maybe she did personally dispose or have anything to do with Neveah's life ending .. But I think with all her Talk of innocence and Not ME within this interview ..How is that she is now talking up a storm about George. Or implicating him Now after the body has been found. Now she knows via the Examiner that " the cause of Death " has not yet been determined and maybe almost impossible to figure out ... (for now anyway) 

Again not one Dime of Emotions in her Voice. She chooses to show her emotions behind closed doors .. ( she says)
She talks about Neveah as if she was a possession " like a Plant" - not her Child. She speaks of her with Detachment. She never once says Neveah's name.

She never Once says within this Interview " If you *Perp* are Listening to this Radio Show - and If you Kidnapped or Killed My Daughter " I will Hunt you like a Animal till Your Found  " that is what I would say ... Or something very similar ...

BUT then again I would have to be so doped up on Tranq's that I would not be able to call into a Radio Station and Chit Chat after my 5 yr old Daughter's body had been found disposed dead... I would be in a Rubber Room.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Nevaeh's cause of death to be elusive

Weeks may pass before cause of death details released


BY AMBER HUNT
FREE PRESS STAFF

Updated at 3:17 p.m.

It could be weeks before the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office releases details in the cause of death of a little girl believed to be Nevaeh Buchanan, Medical Examiner Carl Schmidt announced this afternoon.

The results are pending, Schmidt said in an afternoon news release, and "may remain pending as the investigation continues."

"Tissue samples were sent for special testing," the statement says.

Without outward signs of trauma, figuring out how 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan died will prove difficult if the girl indeed was buried for two weeks in hot weather along the River Raisin, a pathologist told the Free Press.

Werner Spitz — who retired in 2004 as Macomb County's medical examiner and has conducted some 60,000 autopsies — said authorities likely will have to rely on circumstantial evidence if reports are true that the girl found in a shallow, riverside grave suffered no broken bones, stab wounds or gunshots.

"You would have a lot of problems," Spitz said this morning. "You would not find evidence of drowning, you would not find bruising, you would not find strangulation."

That's because the decomposition process would have been speedy because of the heat and the possibility that water from the river could have reached the crude grave.

An employee with the National Weather Service in White Lake Township said the hottest day in metro Detroit between the time Nevaeh disappeared May 24 and the girl's body was discovered was May 29, when it reached a high of 79 degrees.

"In this weather, even if she was dry at this time of year, you would find a lot of difficulty in finding evidence of blue-and-black bruising marks, abrasions or skin injuries," Spitz said.

Also, the skeleton structure in a 5-year-old's neck is pliable, so if the neck had been compressed in strangulation, it would have straightened out. As for drowning, he said: "Drowning is a difficult diagnosis to make when the body is fresh, so you can imagine what it would be like now.

"Most of what forensic pathologists base their opinions on is from the body's surface," he added. "Without seeing the body, I can tell you that most of the opining on cause of death here is going to be circumstantial."

That state of decomposition is one reason authorities are waiting on DNA test results to officially verify that the girl discovered Thursday by fishermen is definitely Nevaeh. In cases involving less decomposition, family members typically are asked to identify the body. In this case, authorities are trying to spare the family the trauma of seeing the girl in such disturbing conditions.

Authorities often rely on dental records in these cases, but Nevaeh's father and grandmother told the Free Press that the girl had never had dental X-rays taken. A Monroe County Sheriff's deputy on Friday gathered items from Nevaeh's Monroe apartment in hopes of finding fingerprints, which might also have helped identify the girl.

But Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said in a press release issued this morning that the identification hinges on the DNA results from the Michigan State Police crime lab in Northville.

Though Crutchfield said last week that there's "reasonable suspicion" the girl is Nevaeh — including clothing matching the description of what Nevaeh was last seen wearing — family members say they're holding out hope until she's positively identified.

Nevaeh disappeared from outside of her Monroe apartment complex, prompting hundreds of volunteers to scour the area in a search that garnered nationwide interest.

The girl discovered Thursday was buried beneath a layer of concrete just inches from the river.

Investigators told her family the clothes found on the body match what the missing 5-year-old was wearing when she disappeared two weeks ago. But investigators’ forensic tests are trying to match DNA evidence to Nevaeh, heaven spelled backward.

The Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office had not yet released the cause of death, saying further testing is needed because there were no outward signs of trauma or other obvious indicators explaining how the girl died.

"It's like a nightmare," her mother, Jennifer Buchanan, told the Free Press. "I can't wait to wake up."

• MORE: Mother denies role in Nevaeh's disappearance

Nevaeh disappeared while riding her scooter outside her apartment. Investigators put two of her mother’s friends — convicted sex offenders — in jail during the investigation on unrelated parole violations. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has vacillated on whether the department has persons of interest in the case, but there’s been no word on whether they’re close to making an arrest.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office tipline at 734-457-6713.

Im still listening.  "She's just a Monroe angel" it seems so staged to me.  I hate to say this but after listening to her for 2 weeks, she is as ignorant as they come & I wonder if she even graduated HS.  She refuses to take responsibility for exposing her child to these SO's...unflippinbelievable!

Capp " Monroe's Angel" .... Yah think that maybe Mom has been paying attention to News of Sandra Cantu .. Tracy's Angel. 

That quip of Neveah being Monroe's Angel just about threw me over ... ( Nothing to due with Sandra nor Neveah) ..

Yah I think that Jennifer now knowing the tests were inclusive(cause of Death) after she found out this Morning - via the Examiner Wayne County .. She is yacking about George .. pointing the Finger at him .... NOW. All the time prior he was her SO Angel.

Live interview with JB - she called into the Local Detroit Radio Station.
after LE leaving her home this morning - June 8,2009

If you listen at 5:45 approx - on audio

She responds to questions of George Kennedy having involvement with her Daughters death

She says I am pretty sure ( garble) something of the effect He and his Girlfriend implying they are involved with Neveah's disappearance/death and or could be someone that knew Him ..He may have Owed someone Money ...I think .. yadda

Then she says I am innocent and had nothing to do with my Daughter's disappearance (**
what about her death is my Question ) Maybe she did not take her, maybe she did personally dispose or have anything to do with Neveah's life ending .. But I think with all her Talk of innocence and Not ME within this interview ..How is that she is now talking up a storm about George. Or implicating him Now after the body has been found. Now she knows via the Examiner that " the cause of Death " has not yet been determined and maybe almost impossible to figure out ... (for now anyway) 

Again not one Dime of Emotions in her Voice. She chooses to show her emotions behind closed doors .. ( she says)
She talks about Neveah as if she was a possession " like a Plant" - not her Child. She speaks of her with Detachment. She never once says Neveah's name.

She never Once says within this Interview " If you *Perp* are Listening to this Radio Show - and If you Kidnapped or Killed My Daughter " I will Hunt you like a Animal till Your Found  " that is what I would say ... Or something very similar ...

BUT then again I would have to be so doped up on Tranq's that I would not be able to call into a Radio Station and Chit Chat after my 5 yr old Daughter's body had been found disposed dead... I would be in a Rubber Room.  ::MonkeyNoNo::


 



She's did 3 newspaper interviews, 1 TV interview but wouldn't show her face, a radio show and tonight Nancy Grace all since Nevaeh has been found dead and murdered by whoever took her.

Doesn't mention her own daughter by name.... all she is worried about is what people are thinking about HER! She sure says "I" a lot.

She is on the clearing Jennifer Buchanan tour, not the Help Me Find the evil murdering monster that did this to my child tour.

Who would be giving interviews if this was your child????? Waiting by the phone for DNA results, YES. Crying my eyes out and having to be sedated, YES! Doing a primetime exclusive on Nancy Grace.....NOT SO MUCH!!!

Pink if Neveah was your Child and You lost her to an abduction and she was found Murdered  " And You Were 100% Innocent" would you NOT say on Live Radio

I am going to find WHO Killed MY Child - Wouldn't that be the Topic of the Interview - Giving facts of the last time she was seen, what she was wearing, what she did that day, and everything under the sun ...to try to get the Public to hear you .. to Find this WACK that took your child away ...

That would be the ONLY Reason to do a Live Interview on the Radio (( I Think )) if You were Innocent.
But she never even says Neveah's Name nor even really speaks of her - Unless she was asked. She called in as the Victim. She let the Morning Show Dictate the Theme of the Interview. She never took control of the Commentary. She sat on the other end of the phone ... WAAAA WAAAA... ME ME ME NOTHING to DO WITH ME .... it was the I am a sad waste of Human Being Jennifer Buchanan show ... PITY ME.  I just cannot find one ounce of Sympathy for JB ..none.

Justice for Neveah

Yup, just a few days ago she was defending him adamantly.   Her prirority is clearing her, not her daughter's murder - my God!   I, I, I, me me me...she even discusses all her interviews with this like detachment to the reality of why anyone even gives a crap why her sorry low live !$$ exists!   Dear merciful goodness, its infuriating!   Something is very wrong with this picture.

Two things, I want to know specifically what store she reportedly went to (neighbor said that is what she was told when JB picked Neveah up) & if they can get surveillance of her with Neveah (timestamped).   Also, I do not believe she went to a park to look for her.    This is the same girl who barely got off the couch and was "angry" as she finally had to get her flippin flip flops to go look.    Nope, something is really wrong with this picture, horribly wrong.    Let her keep yapping.

Off the charts!  And I dont believe she never let him be alone with Neveah either, I dont' think that girl was conscious half the time to know - my hinky meter is up on that as well.   Why is it she wants to insert this 2 week girlfriend of George's in the mix so quickly.   Jealousy, in 2 weeks, no I dont think so!   If George was never a boyfriend to JB why would she think the girlfriend in two weeks time would give a rat's behind about JB or for that matter why would she harm a child....nope nope nope.

Jmo - I do not think that Jennifer Buchanan has a Conscience.

She is alot like SLORE ..just a different Hairstyle .. Same mindset, same attitude, same same same in so many ways ...
She wanted attention from Men. Well in her case she chose " Bottom of the Barrel" Men -that she met in her parole office.
She has records of being a Thief and has been said " Drug problems" were a huge part of her life.
She has no future to look forward too - Due to she can't even take care of herself let alone a child. Her lack of education and a Felony Record is not a Resume to be proud of.
Her lack of choosing positive paths and positive people within her life SCREAMS ... Doubt in her character. She is just like Slore has No Sense of Self nor Accomplishment " Unless they gain it by Stealing or Thievery " I will get Mine, No matter what it takes". I have nothing to lose ... Because I use my voice and lack there of emotions to manipulate and plot ..to all that are within my circle. If I get upset " they give me what I want" because otherwise they will have to listen to my silence ...or worse my mouth run. I am sure she used Neveah as a Pawn with her Mom. Pity Me I am a victim.
Slore/JB Bumper sticker: "I just want my own life .... even if it takes My Child's Life " I will have my Day - I am Somebody". Her/Jennifer's name nickname should Be " CHIP" for the Concrete that Lives on her Shoulder ..  :smt011  :gaah:

 No dental records, no fingerprints, no preschool, mother didnt bother to work not even at Mickey D's for crying outloud -- Id like info on how often she saw a ped.   And now all she is concerned with is fingers, rightfully so, being pointed at her for at least the child neglect & endangerment, if nothing else.

Yes, she has quite a bit in common with Casey Anthony & Susan Smith - totally self-involved, no remorse, no accountability, she is a victim...yea a real victim getting hooked on drugs to the point you home invaded to rob in an effort to support a drug habit & then gets out to hook up with SO's.  Freakin pig is on my very last nerve!

Maybe I am wrong - She JB has so many conflicting stories - she said Neveah was last seen late afternoon - than she saw her at 6:30ish and then She said it was later ..then She figured out at 8:30ish .. Police needed to be called. Its a Mixed Bag of info right now.

Okay..still believing Mom is involved..and she thinks because they have said no clear sign of how Neveah was murdered..stupid as she is ..she thinks she is in the clear.  No TV interviews ..because we would not see the face of unlandish grief we are used to seeing with distraught parents.

I am betting she overdosed her on something.  I would think long ago LE would have pulled the survialance tapes from KMart....does it show Neveah and Mommy..if so at what time and what did they buy.   

I am Betting Mommy  OD NEVEAH WITH COUGH SYRUP OR ALLERGY MEDS.  If Mommy had given them to her before then Neveah would not have thought anyting about it..even if it was more then her usual dose.

Sick..sick ..sick..Mom is a sociopath..with her criminal history..yes I deserve what these people have in their homes and car dealerships..and I do not deserve being saddled with a child..except my SO boyfriend loves her..now he is with another women..so to hurt him and free up my time and responsiblities..baby has to go.

maybe when she looked in the park for her she DID find her and yelled at her for being there and hit her, a little to hard and harmed her and or Nevaeh died from  being hit.lets not forget that JB didnt want to be distured while watching the movie. yet have to get up and look for her. she was probably really pissed. is my guess.

 Here's my 2 cents.   I agree with every comment about the mother and if it wasn't for that 90lb bag of concrete, I'd think she was in up to her droopy,stoned eyeballs.  Too coincidental that the co. behind Kennedy sold that size, the cut fence and all, so he or somebody at that den of perverts at the motel had to be involved.

a ways back i remember it being said that LE was loooking for 2 children that were in the park that day to ask them if they saw anything. this is what makes me think that possibly JB injured her daughter there in the park when she looked for her there. any thoughts on this????

my babycrazy (5) decided to go to the park about a month ago.  first she blocked her door with her Dora kitchen, opened up her bedroom window, slid down 2ft, ran to the side of the house to get a bucket (to place UNDER her window so she could sneak back in) and walked a block to the park.  she is sneaky like ninja.  i was in that bathroom at the time and when i came out she had made a break for it.  1st thing, i asked neighbors 2nd i called 911.  the le found her within 5 min of me calling.  No..i didn't go look for her..i figured there would be time enough for that after the police were notified.  there are hundreds of them yet one of me.  what if she had came back while i was gone?  maybe its just me, but to get as much help as possible was my thought.  needless to say she hasn't a door any more..we removed it.  God help me when she's a teenager..

    Keep ya on your toes, huh?   Glad she has a mama who cares.  You're gonna need lots of these when she's a teenager    ::MonkeyAngel:: ::MonkeyAngel:: 
my heart was in my throat the entire time...at first i was like..someone took her (i watch a lot of HNN), then i saw The Bucket.  it would have to have been a very short person if they need a bucket to get to the window. lol...  she still doesn't have a door.

Last night at around 8:30 p.m. 24-year-old Jennifer Orise Buchanan (MySpace) reported her 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan missing to the Monroe, Michigan police. She told law enforcement that Nevaeh was playing with a friend of her's in the apartment complex when her friend had to go inside for dinner. While she was eating Neviaeh continued to play with her scooter. When the mother went to get the scooter out of the parking lot there was no sign of little Nevaeh. At some point in there the mother must have notified Jennifer Buchanan, but I haven't yet found out when or how she was notified.

If it walks like a Duck, Quacks like a Duck, It's Probably a Duck ..
MOM = Liar

I have never heard the word " dinner" being mentioned or that Chip actually cooked that evening .. she was too engrossed in her TV to pay attention to Neveah playing out of the Apt ... as She/Jennifer has stated " Neveah was Mature for her Age" basically Mom's defense " that her 5 year old was used to being unsupervised" jmo.

Then you read in the Detroit News today Comments via the Neighbors
Neighbors described Nevaeh as shy. "She was adorable, a cute little girl with a ponytail," said Haley Jennings, 39, who lived on the second floor of Nevaeh's apartment complex. "Kind of timid. ... Her voice was real soft. She was real fragile, real precious".
---
She Jennifer was peeved that she had to dig out her " Flip Flops" ... to go check on her Daughter. That she had to get her Dead Axx off the couch to find her Daughter.
I would like to know the Real Story of what Intrigued Mother to actually go out and look for her ...something made her go look for her ..and I don't think it was Dinner. If it was dinner time why was Neveah left to play outside alone and unsupervised. WHY did Neveah not go back to her House ..for her Dinner. Because Mom did not have the Car to take her to McDonalds.. Grandma was working.  :smt098
-------

The story of the little one saying that Neveah was in the street on her Scooter - has been said to be made up. That it never was said. The story of the child who said Neveah was stabbed and taken by a Man was to be unfounded.

Today -Mom is now Yacking her Jaw on Radio only wants to talk about Herself.
She cannot focus on the facts of that Night, let alone her Daughter. All she is doing right now " in her Mind" is planting Seeds ..so she can look like the wounded, the victim, the betrayed by her Associate SO' Boyfriend.

 Here's my 2 cents.   I agree with every comment about the mother and if it wasn't for that 90lb bag of concrete, I'd think she was in up to her droopy,stoned eyeballs.  Too coincidental that the co. behind Kennedy sold that size, the cut fence and all, so he or somebody at that den of perverts at the motel had to be involved.

So are you guys thinking that she and Kennedy did this?
i'm thinking that JB's call to George was to help her dispose of the body.JMO.again i think that maybe JB dound her at the park and went off on her.

honestly, i think she did it (i'm heavyset and 30 and i can swing a 90lb bag over my shoulder like nothen' ) to set him up..it sounds nasty, but he got himself a new woman and moms (it seems) has never been very concerned with Nevieah.....if she didn't luv this guy why was he like a father figure to baby....bio-dad was not very far away.  i don't know about all of this BUT do you have to pay child support for your child if the primary care-taker for said child is in jail?  thats moms main beef...He hasn't paid in two years.  Wasn't she in jail for like 18 months....if i'm wrong please correct me.

Okay..still believing Mom is involved..and she thinks because they have said no clear sign of how Neveah was murdered..stupid as she is ..she thinks she is in the clear.  No TV interviews ..because we would not see the face of unlandish grief we are used to seeing with distraught parents.

I am betting she overdosed her on something.  I would think long ago LE would have pulled the survialance tapes from KMart....does it show Neveah and Mommy..if so at what time and what did they buy.   

I am Betting Mommy  OD NEVEAH WITH COUGH SYRUP OR ALLERGY MEDS.  If Mommy had given them to her before then Neveah would not have thought anyting about it..even if it was more then her usual dose.

Sick..sick ..sick..Mom is a sociopath..with her criminal history..yes I deserve what these people have in their homes and car dealerships..and I do not deserve being saddled with a child..except my SO boyfriend loves her..now he is with another women..so to hurt him and free up my time and responsiblities..baby has to go.

Nevaeh's Mother Speaks Out About Case

Last Update: 7:26 pm 

MONROE, Mich. (WXYZ) - Family members will have to wait for confirmation to determine if the child's body found along the River Raisin is Nevaeh Buchanan.

VAL CLARK REPORTS IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ON THE RIGHT

Family members say the Monroe County Sheriff's Department has told them it could be days or weeks until DNA results are back. Until then a positive identification will not be known.

The wait for results comes as the Sheriff's Department is combing through the more than 1,000 tips that have come in since Nevaeh's disappearance.

Nevaeh's mother, Jennifer Buchanan, spoke with a local radio station this morning about what she thinks happened to her daughter.

She answered criticism about being associated with George Kennedy, a convicted sex offender she considered her friend.

Jennifer says she's pretty sure that someone associated with George or his girlfriend were somehow involved with Nevaeh's disappearance.
When asked why she was friends with him knowing he was a sex offender, Jennifer said she believes everybody deserves a second chance.

She also said she knew that George was a sex offender, and never allowed Nevaeh to be alone with him. Jennifer admits that she's suspicious of Kennedy and hasn't talked to him since Nevaeh went missing.
According to Jennifer, they were never romantically involved.

In the article I just posted she is now throwing George and his g/f under th bus.

She also sates she has not spoken with George since Nevaeh went missing.  I am sure that is not accurate.  I thought she called him and he and Savannah helped look?

Also why yesterday did she say she does not want her face in the media anymore yet will not stop the interviews?  Is NG gonna put a paper bag over her head?

My gut is telling me when she came to change her clothing because she had an accident, mother got mad.....   But then I don't know if mother is lying or telling the truth about the change of clothes. Regardless, the old gut is saying, mother certainly knows a lot more then she is pretending to know, way more.

my babycrazy (5) decided to go to the park about a month ago.  first she blocked her door with her Dora kitchen, opened up her bedroom window, slid down 2ft, ran to the side of the house to get a bucket (to place UNDER her window so she could sneak back in) and walked a block to the park.  she is sneaky like ninja.  i was in that bathroom at the time and when i came out she had made a break for it.  1st thing, i asked neighbors 2nd i called 911.  the le found her within 5 min of me calling.  No..i didn't go look for her..i figured there would be time enough for that after the police were notified.  there are hundreds of them yet one of me.  what if she had came back while i was gone?  maybe its just me, but to get as much help as possible was my thought.  needless to say she hasn't a door any more..we removed it.  God help me when she's a teenager..

Mamma Crazy..when our son was a teenager..say 14..feeling the need for privacy..yet totally disobeying us..example we are at a parenting class for teens and we get home he is gone on his bike no where to be found.  Poppa takes off in the car and finds him..having ridden his girlfriend home.....

Needless to say ..the door on his bedroom was gone..and could only be won bck by completing normal life..not normal teenage life..but normal life..it took him months..he was very hardheaded..but eventually he got the drift and got a door to his room.

Things do pay off..if at the moment they seem like overkill..well then I always figured if it was overkill they would come around fast..nope..hardheaded..I think they came by it naturally.

  Well I guess it's possible, but she just seems like such a lazy azz, but fear and guilt will prolly give ya the extra boost of adrenilin needed to cover your own backside.
If she had help from Kennedy, seems like now that she's throwing him under he'll wise up and start ratting on her.

Just some thoughts on the fence.  I guess I should have explained myself better.  If that fence was cut, and it had any possible relation to this case, it would have been a potential crime scene.  CSI would have been there looking for trace evidence like blood, hair, fibers, footprints, what have you.  And I'm SURE media would have picked up on that.  So I think this is another monroetalks rumor.

Just some thoughts on the fence.  I guess I should have explained myself better.  If that fence was cut, and it had any possible relation to this case, it would have been a potential crime scene.  CSI would have been there looking for trace evidence like blood, hair, fibers, footprints, what have you.  And I'm SURE media would have picked up on that.  So I think this is another monroetalks rumor.


Not only that..but for a person to get in and maneuver a 90 lb bag of cement out..well the cut wouldn't have been described as a cut ..more as a missing section..or an area where the fence was pulled back.  Also the cement company would have done inventory to let LE know if anything was missing.  You don't make one cut to get in a fence surrounding a property..it would have taken at least three..top, center and bottom to cut away a portion of the fence to lift it back to have an adult enter.

Nevaeh's Mother Speaks Out About Case

Last Update: 7:26 pm  

MONROE, Mich. (WXYZ) - Family members will have to wait for confirmation to determine if the child's body found along the River Raisin is Nevaeh Buchanan.

VAL CLARK REPORTS IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ON THE RIGHT

Family members say the Monroe County Sheriff's Department has told them it could be days or weeks until DNA results are back. Until then a positive identification will not be known.

The wait for results comes as the Sheriff's Department is combing through the more than 1,000 tips that have come in since Nevaeh's disappearance.

Nevaeh's mother, Jennifer Buchanan, spoke with a local radio station this morning about what she thinks happened to her daughter.

She answered criticism about being associated with George Kennedy, a convicted sex offender she considered her friend.

Jennifer says she's pretty sure that someone associated with George or his girlfriend were somehow involved with Nevaeh's disappearance.
When asked why she was friends with him knowing he was a sex offender, Jennifer said she believes everybody deserves a second chance.

She also said she knew that George was a sex offender, and never allowed Nevaeh to be alone with him. Jennifer admits that she's suspicious of Kennedy and hasn't talked to him since Nevaeh went missing.
According to Jennifer, they were never romantically involved.

Let 'er dig--let 'er dig.   ::MonkeyRoll::

I knew I was not losing my mind:

After a security guard told him that police had been at the apartments looking for her, Kennedy said Nevaeh's mother reached him on his cell phone to tell him that sheriff's deputies wanted to talk to him about the missing girl because they learned he was a convicted sex offender.

Right-on GDD.  If I've learned anything from this ordeal, it's that this area has some of the worst media hacks I've ever come across.  All of them want to one-up the other.  And in doing so, they do nothing to verify facts.  All they want is the hype.  You know, media was the first to begin using the word "encased" in describing the burial.  Anyone who knows anything about cement knows that would be IMPOSSIBLE--one 90# bag doesn't make all that much.  the bag itself is relatively small.  So they're unbelievable, and they love the hyperbole, and they love getting people all worked up.  Which is why I'm waiting for info from LE before I get myself worked up. . .

 Here's my 2 cents.   I agree with every comment about the mother and if it wasn't for that 90lb bag of concrete, I'd think she was in up to her droopy,stoned eyeballs.  Too coincidental that the co. behind Kennedy sold that size, the cut fence and all, so he or somebody at that den of perverts at the motel had to be involved.

So are you guys thinking that she and Kennedy did this?

What's the story on the cut fence?  First time I've heard that.

The fence that surrounds the cement plant behind the motel had the fence cut recently.

I did a quick search for that and only saw one media article on it, and a lot of blogs, comments, spec--the info purportedly came from a local.  I'm not buying into it.

I think that Fox did a video of it.  They showed the fence and then talked about the Busch beer can.  I could be wrong , but pretty sure it was Fox.

Article as well as video of fence

Only a few stores in the area sell 90-pound bags of cement. The Kuhlman Cement Company, which is located behind the home of the person of interest George Kennedy, sells 90-pound bags of cement.

Also, it appears that the fence outside the cement company was recently cut.

Hi MizJay
I have a bag/bags in my garage left over " Quick Set" concrete - that I needed to set posts to repair my wood fence( last summer). I can lift them. They are almost double the size of a large bag of Flour. They I would never want to carry a distance. I can though pick them up and walk with them without an issue. I am guessing the bags I have weigh about 45lbs each. Hard packed powder. http://www.quikrete.com/index.asp

Just for reference - I have a wheel barrel and my Mr. Fix it dude used one bag of Quikcrete and it filled the barrel with the powder/added water - up the sides of my wheel barrel 4 inches deep at least ... He mixed the powder and water inside my wheel barrel and had many posts to set. Was a Lot of Concrete from that One bag.

Which I cannot understand either - How did someone mix the concrete and pour it. 
Was it mixed prior ( if it was ..it Sets fast..so it would be a premeditated act just prior to taking Neveah to the river bank  ) **and if they did it at the scene it would take time to mix .. and it would leave many footprints and possibly even residue of powder and 5 gallon buckets impressions on the ground ( or what ever was the mix container) The water they would take from the River .. if they didn't fall in .since it is sludgy. I watched the local news the Men in the White suits sliding down the embankment. I have to believe that the concrete was premixed and in containers - held in a Truck or a Van with Neveah's Body.

 ** the embankment is on a such a steep angle I can't see anyone taking the time to attempt to mix the cement at the scene.
I dunno.

In the interview by Mojo and the Morning today - After JB was no longer on.
The Hosts mentioned a good point "That who ever is the Killer could be on Video at a Lowes/Home Depot purchasing the Cement" within the time frame before/during/after Neveah  ... But I have had my Bags in my Garage for almost 7 mos ... My BF calculated wrong and bought too many bags.
So that is a Thought that it is possible that the Person could be found on Video within a Home Improvement store in the last weeks ...but if you have bags like I do purchased almost a year ago. I know I still have at least one bag left.
If it were a case that someone had bags of quick set concrete in their possession (that could not be traced on video)- they would use it by trade and or use it for their own property may have stored for future use.  Other wise could be someone who was a Handy Man or laborer on a job.   

It's not a normal purchase by the Ave Joe who walks into a Lowes and or Home Depot - just to buy quick fast setting concrete. Normally it is bought by Contractors - and those who are Contractors .. Buy their supplies from the same place over and over and No one would think different.

Nancy Grace's face listening to Jennifer is priceless. She's asking her the tough questions. George wasn't going to get to Nevaeh because she was keeping her close, Jennifer said. Jennifer keeps looking down and off camera and looks like she is ready to run! Now Jennifer said she went upstairs and watched her go up the stairs and in the door!
Nancy called her down, and said she first said she was sitting on the couch and watched her go out the door. Nancy is cutting her no slack. Commercial is on, I am wondering if Jennifer will still be there when we come back to show.

WTF..How does a five year old lie about being hungry?  They either are truly hungry or they want treats..neither is a lie, IT IS WHAT THEY WANT.  If she gave her a popsicle when she said she was hungry..WTF..was that at 6 pm..had this fool given her any dinner?

I am disgusted beyond words with this so called Mom..and come to think of it Grandmom.  If Grandmom had custody and knew her daughter was so stupid and inept with a child..to not know the difference between hungry and needing a snack..then why the hell did she leave this precious soul with her daughter for 1 minute..the court had a reason for giving Grandmom custody.

The News today - This article has been posted today on SM -
I have a link http://www.wzzm13.com/news/news_story.aspx?storyid=110123&catid=14

The Snip is what just Popped into my Head - The Clothing.
--------

In the story Buchanan tells, 5-year-old Nevaeh walked barefoot across the old brown carpet, worn and stained, and headed for the front door.

"Mom, I'm going upstairs to Austin's house to play a game," Buchanan remembers her daughter saying.

It was about 6:30 p.m. on May 24, the day before Memorial Day. Nevaeh walked out, the door shut and that was the last time Buchanan says she saw her daughter.

"I trusted her enough for her to actually go," Buchanan told the Free Press last week in a 2 1/2 -hour interview, discussing everything from her relationship with two sex offenders to how it feels to be suspected in her child's disappearance.

Austin Kuhn, 8, and Nevaeh lived in the same building in the Charlotte Arms apartments and played together nearly every day. A child could probably run from Nevaeh's apartment to Austin's door on the second floor in less than 10 seconds.

She was wearing knee-length jeans and a baby blue, red-and-white striped shirt with a V-neck white collar. Potty trained, but with a habit of waiting until the last second to use the bathroom, Buchanan said, Nevaeh had just had an accident and changed her clothes.

Did Mother Lose her Ever Loving mind because her " Mature" 5 year old could not go to the Potty on her own...she waited till the last minute and peed in her pants yet again.
That Mom would have to do Laundry ... And have to find Quarters for the Coin Op.
Did she then Hurt Neveah and call George Kennedy first and Say OH MY GAWD ... I lost it - she is not breathing. He would be the only one who would understand and not call the Police because he is her Parole Buddy ... So he and She construed this PLAN of taking Neveah's body and dumping her and using the concrete ... thinking with their Peanut brains they could get away with it.

BUT the Key is - Jennifer has something on Good Old " George" maybe George did something to Neveah in the past ..that was Minor in Jennifer's Mind since she does not care about crap- Yet she knows it would be yet another Felony in the Eyes of the Law for George- a deviant Act against a child. So she called him and said YOU Owe Me this.
And He dumped Neveah's body for MOMMY.
Jennifer does state that Kennedy is the First one she called prior to calling Police.

Nancy told the lady sitting with Jennifer that since she had only been with Jennifer 24/7 since Nevaeh went missing she had nothing to say about the day Nevaeh went missing.

Jennifer said she couldn't cry in public. She cries in private. Does that sound like something else we heard Casey say? She "can't be crying all the time like she wants to because she had to deal with the LE and everything."

All the above was pre commercial.

Jennifer has left the studio! She left during the commercial. Next thing you know she will be threatening suicide because Nancy upset her too much!!! Boo Hoo!

WTF..How does a five year old lie about being hungry?  They either are truly hungry or they want treats..neither is a lie, IT IS WHAT THEY WANT.  If she gave her a popsicle when she said she was hungry..WTF..was that at 6 pm..had this fool given her any dinner?

I am disgusted beyond words with this so called Mom..and come to think of it Grandmom.  If Grandmom had custody and knew her daughter was so stupid and inept with a child..to not know the difference between hungry and needing a snack..then why the hell did she leave this precious soul with her daughter for 1 minute..the court had a reason for giving Grandmom custody.


Gypsy I think she said she was thinking about making dinner as it was 6:30 because Nevaeh came in and got a popsicle and that was a sign that she may be hungry.  But Nevaeh LIES about being hungry.  So now at 6:30 Nevaeh is grabbing a popsicle?  I need to read the transcript as I am really mad about JB calling her dead daughter a lier on national TV.

Nancy told the lady sitting with Jennifer that since she had only been with Jennifer 24/7 since Nevaeh went missing she had nothing to say about the day Nevaeh went missing.

Jennifer said she couldn't cry in public. She cries in private. Does that sound like something else we heard Casey say? She "can't be crying all the time like she wants to because she had to deal with the LE and everything."

All the above was pre commercial.

Jennifer has left the studio! She left during the commercial. Next thing you know she will be threatening suicide because Nancy upset her too much!!! Boo Hoo!

You called it abotu JB leaving.  Now she is talking to Shane the bio dad.

Nancy is now grinding on the bio father. He says he pays child support when he has a job, but right now he is jobless.

If Jennifer thought she was going to see the softer, gentler side of Nancy, she got a rude awakening.

This mother puts her child into a nest of vipers and then has the nerve to get upset with NG when she asks  "difficult" questions.    ::MonkeyConfused::
She does not appear to have any emotion about this case except for resentment that she is now being called to account for her actions.
She says she "wouldn't put it past" her friend Kennedy being responsible.  If that's how she feels about him why would she EVER have him within a mile of her child?
I hope to God there's some real punishment down the road for this stupid woman.
I am glad NG didn 't take any B.S. from her-  Ms Buchanan obviously thought she was on 'Entertainment Tonight' not the NG show!

Jennifer is in pink and on Nancy Grace!!! I have commenced to toss things at my TV. Now she is saying she last saw her at 6:30 as she took a popsickle out of the fridge and went up to her friends. Now she is saying it was 30 mins later when she was told that Nevaeh was riding her scooter in the road. Is this the same story she has ever told?   ::MonkeyConfused::

I have Never heard the word Popsicle ...

I am thinking thinking ... I am burning up my Banana's here

The News today - This article has been posted today on SM -
I have a link http://www.wzzm13.com/news/news_story.aspx?storyid=110123&catid=14

The Snip is what just Popped into my Head - The Clothing.
--------
snipped
In the story Buchanan tells, 5-year-old Nevaeh walked barefoot across the old brown carpet, worn and stained, and headed for the front door.

"Mom, I'm going upstairs to Austin's house to play a game," Buchanan remembers her daughter saying.

It was about 6:30 p.m. on May 24, the day before Memorial Day. Nevaeh walked out, the door shut and that was the last time Buchanan says she saw her daughter.

"I trusted her enough for her to actually go," Buchanan told the Free Press last week in a 2 1/2 -hour interview, discussing everything from her relationship with two sex offenders to how it feels to be suspected in her child's disappearance.

Austin Kuhn, 8, and Nevaeh lived in the same building in the Charlotte Arms apartments and played together nearly every day. A child could probably run from Nevaeh's apartment to Austin's door on the second floor in less than 10 seconds.

She was wearing knee-length jeans and a baby blue, red-and-white striped shirt with a V-neck white collar. Potty trained, but with a habit of waiting until the last second to use the bathroom, Buchanan said, Nevaeh had just had an accident and changed her clothes.

Did Mother Lose her Ever Loving mind because her " Mature" 5 year old could not go to the Potty on her own...she waited till the last minute and peed in her pants yet again.
That Mom would have to do Laundry ... And have to find Quarters for the Coin Op.
Did she then Hurt Neveah and call George Kennedy first and Say OH MY GAWD ... I lost it - she is not breathing. He would be the only one who would understand and not call the Police because he is her Parole Buddy ... So he and She construed this PLAN of taking Neveah's body and dumping her and using the concrete ... thinking with their Peanut brains they could get away with it.

BUT the Key is - Jennifer has something on Good Old " George" maybe George did something to Neveah in the past ..that was Minor in Jennifer's Mind since she does not care about crap- Yet she knows it would be yet another Felony in the Eyes of the Law for George- a deviant Act against a child. So she called him and said YOU Owe Me this.
And He dumped Neveah's body for MOMMY.
Jennifer does state that Kennedy is the First one she called prior to calling Police.

that is exactly what i said i thought happened, a few pages back. JB lost it and hit her daughter to the extent of killing her. then called GK for help and he buried Nevaeh. i think you are right as to what happened. JMO

I think regression to wetting pants is a symptom of abuse. 

What was going on with these people?  Druggies, RSO's, drunks all of them. 

While a five yo might have some bed wetting problems, very few are still wetting pants and I do believe that is one of the things to look for when abuse is suspected.

If the mother did harm Neveah, how did she get the body where it was without being seen? did she have a vehicle? if gramma was at work and they only had one car...then that wouldn't work..one of the neighbors said that Neveah ate a meal with them around 3....
I think the mom is guilty of something...but I can't work it out in my mind when she could have hurt N and then take her to the burial spot, get the cement etc...without someone seeing her do some of this stuff...nor can I see that this child could disappear with a stranger without someone seeing something..it looked like a busy complex with lots of kids and people milling around...
I am stumped.....I don't think that George would help the mother bury N...he might have done something to her himself, but I don't think he would stick his neck out for the mother...could be wrong, but just my feeling...

I totally agree. I think that Neveah was afraid to come in the house to go potty that she would disrupt  MOM and or she was such a child that wanted to be " left out of controversy" of what was on going within the home - she even put her bladder last.
Kid's that hold their bladders at 5 do not do that because its FUN for them. They do it because they are terrified of showing themselves vulnerable - that they will be chastised for not doing it in perfect way or even yelled at for Being in the Bathroom too long. And or worse hurt physically for taking up the time of a loser parent ...that can't understand Children are Children. They do not pop out and become worldly over night. They have to be Taught how to do things. Children that wet pants I think do it because they are Scared to Tell anyone - I Have to go Potty.  It is FEAR ..total fear. Not about the toilet but the feeling of Vulnerability.

No Rose..I would love to have a girlfriend talk with JB.   She is lying out the caboose!

I have never seen a worse liar..other then small children. My take is she is trying to cover her tracks in such a childish way..no one who has ever acted as a child care person, be it a teen, babysitter, relative or boyfriend..would know less about a child and their reactions ..much less hers.

I think she did this and tried to frame George..it is just too obvious..all the tell tale signs that would lead back to him.  Yet I believe LE does not think it was him..right after she was found , George and his RSO friend were in custody.  Yet LE SAID, THEY THOUGHT WHO DID THIS WAS STILL IN THE COMMUNITY.  My words , I can't remember their exact phrasing..but it let me  believe that the murderer was still out there.  Since then, they have not mentioned that..yep JB is in their sights...they just need fingerprints from the forensic evidence.

And I believe JB knows she is in their sights..she can run to friends..but she can't hide.

I think regression to wetting pants is a symptom of abuse. 

What was going on with these people?  Druggies, RSO's, drunks all of them. 

While a five yo might have some bed wetting problems, very few are still wetting pants and I do believe that is one of the things to look for when abuse is suspected.



Or you have to go pee-pee, and your Mom is so drugged and watching her fav show she doesn't answer the door and you can't get to the potty.  So you go upstairs to your friends.  They answer the door, but it is alittle too long ..you pee-peed just a little in your pants.  The rest you go to potty at their house.  Then you go on and play for a while.  You go home..Mommy sees the wet shorts...you're in big trouble now with a Mommy who doesn't understand you are more important then anything else..even her fav tv show.

If the mother did harm Neveah, how did she get the body where it was without being seen? did she have a vehicle? if gramma was at work and they only had one car...then that wouldn't work..one of the neighbors said that Neveah ate a meal with them around 3....
I think the mom is guilty of something...but I can't work it out in my mind when she could have hurt N and then take her to the burial spot, get the cement etc...without someone seeing her do some of this stuff...nor can I see that this child could disappear with a stranger without someone seeing something..it looked like a busy complex with lots of kids and people milling around...
I am stumped.....I don't think that George would help the mother bury N...he might have done something to her himself, but I don't think he would stick his neck out for the mother...could be wrong, but just my feeling...

Jennifer said she took Nevaeh to the store around 3:30. Unless she walked to KMart for groceries, as she said she came home to put them up, she had a vehicle. (Does that KMart sell groceries?) Personally I don't think Nevaeh ever returned from that shopping(?) trip. JMO

eeksss...my dear grand daughter waits until the very last minute to go potty if she is busy playing...she just turned 6 and is the most adored child by everyone in our family...
she just is a busy kid and doesn't want to take the time to come inside to potty if she is playing so sometimes she dribbles a little more than is comfortable...goes potty finally and then changes her clothes...she knows better...but I think that kids do that from time to time...her friends do it too...Now we don't get mad at our child who has pee accidents, but that does not mean that other parents would not get mad...dunno...

watching NG now...

And isn't that normal as children are growing up..to be so involved in the moment..then they realise..ut oh..I have to pee.    But how many children on this board and others have we seen abused, beaten and killed for the simple acts of children in the stages of growing up.  It really sickens me..that kids are not even allowed to be kids any longer.  We have to protect them from RSOs, they aren't allowed the free play and innocent childhood we were, and we have to protect them from parents who never learned  how to parent.and then the parents who know how but just don't care because they are too drugged with whatever drug or amusement is part of their( life ie self impvolvement).

Infact wasn't JB's orginal story that she was doing laundry..running up and down between the floors and checking once  awhile on Neveah?  I swear that was the first thing I heard,  The the store trip (s) , then the additional of visiting the friends..it buggles the mind.  And yes a busy 5 yr old could visit all those places..but Mom didn't mention those places until others did.   Still saying Mom is guilty..

DEENIE  Hi, thanks for replying about the concrete bags.

Kmart in some area's of Michigan do sell Groceries - but I think that JB would be too lazy to walk anywhere - to get food for her house, let alone have any money to buy food.

Fanny I am watching NG right now ... I see why you were so Upset when you watched NG. I have been yelling at my TV since JB opened her mouth. NG is doing it Proper - she is calling her out in the best way. She is playing devils advocate with MOMMY.  Go NG.

MizJay my bags are at best 45lbs each. But 2 bags of 45lbs equal 90. I could never ever pick up a 90lb bag nor even a body ..and carry it two inches.

I don't understand where the 90lb bag comes from - other than if the actual " Paper Bag" was found at the scene that was marked 90lbs.

Funny how JB called into Mojo this morning Detroit Radio 95.5 ( that is the Voice who is interviewing her played on NG Tonight - Mojo) so was so willing to talk openly as long as it was in her interest on the radio. That she could play Victim and sound pathetic without being called on the carpet.

And being on NG Tonight National News - she knows that she is the main suspect and could not take the Beating that NG gave her.... Poor JB. Did you notice JB could not even keep Eye contact nor could even give One straight answer... Was all make shift and shifty...talk.
Oh to clarify the statements of when it starts to get Dark here in Michigan - As NG said the sun set at 8:55pm - that sounds credible. One to thing to add though - if your in area that has lots of trees as most rural areas do in Michigan ...the darkness starts way before the sun actually sets. So I would say that it was getting dark where ANYONE would flip if their small child was outside at 7 ish pm.
Back to Chip
If she was innocent and put on NG for Neveah  she would calling out for help and Thank NG for giving her the Media Attention - so she could Speak to the world for Help to find who Killed her Daughter.

Which was not even a thought in Jennifer Buchanan's Mind... to Ask for Help. She was too busy trying to Dodge and Dash and ...find the commercial break so she rip off her Mic ..and Leave the Building.

Go Jennifer  ::MonkeyDevil:: lets give her a cheer - give me a G, U, I, L, T, Y ....

Wont be long ...I am guessing by Wednesday this Week she will have a Court appointed Atty named in the News.

I went out to my garage and we had a bag of quikcrete that we had bought for a project and did not need it. It is 60 lbs. It took my hubby and myself to unload two bags out of the car, and then it was mostly just drop it to the ground and move it with a hand cart. Admittedly, I have a bad back now, and my hubby has had a stroke, so we are not in the shape we once were. Besides being heavy, the bags are unweildy, no place to grab, slippery, and tend to shift. BTW, we got it at Lowes.

I read on one of the reports that came out about the cement that only a very few places sell 90 lb bag, and one of them was the cement place behind George's motel. A bag of that size is usually sold for commercial use. I am sure that it would be much more difficult to carry, and not something that I think Jennifer could have done, especially down that steep slope.

My son tells me that you can just pour the powder out and pour on water and it will absorb it and set up. I wish he would have told us that sooner because we mixed it when we used it. But from the looks of the depth of the concrete I saw at the river, I believe it took more than one bag and so does he.  JMO

Did you notice that JB and her girlfriend were all made up like they were making their national TV debut?  Sandra Cantu's mother didn't make sure she had on all her makeup and hair done for her interviews. 

Does anyone that lives in that area know when that TV program comes on?  Jon & Kate Plus 8, I believe.

Fanny my bags came from Lowes too - and You are correct. They do not come with a handle nor do they offer any give " to grab on to" .. they slip slide and are even Nail breakers ..to pick up and move around.

That it was time to Eat and get cleaned up and ready for Bed.. Nope Nope Nope.
She/Neveah " Mom's Words" Neveah just roamed in and grabbed a Popsicle and cruised out the door as any 17 yr would .. catch ya later ... I will be back.

I havent had a chance to read back the thread yet, I just watched the repeat of NG - Good job Nancy!  ::MonkeyNoNo::  But I gotta tell yas Im rather pissed beyond words right about now.
OMG did you guys catch how when she walked off how she flicked her finger as an order for her "friend" to hurry up and go with her - if you havent rewind it.  She cant complain, she knew she was going to get hard questions from Nancy, she discussed people judging her including Nancy on the radio interview!  I cannot even begin to count the lies/changes in story right now because Im still fuming from the first view.  If you thought Nancy's facial expressions were a sight to behold, you had to see mine as pillows & Italian cussing was flying.

That fugly sorry @$$ sow's story keeps changing even with crib notes!!   All she had as a support system was a friend that has been with her every day only since Neveah was no longer seen.  Wow

She is supposed to be in grief and she says her daughter lies, catches herself and then explains "about being hungry."  Let me say this NO CHILD lies about not being hungry!!  What decent mother lets her kid have an popsicle at dinner time, without getting up off the dang couch to prepare dinner - ps going outside not an option at night, much less during the day for a 5 year old. My head is going to explode from being so irate!

There is not one place in these United States (minus the Alaska season) that it gets dark at 9:30-10PM, not even smack dab in the middle of summer.  Did this stupid beeotch drop out of grammar school?   ::MonkeyEek::

She knew George was a SO, but o no she didnt know how bad his rap sheet was until a few months later BUT SHE STILL HAD HIM AROUND HER DAUGHTER, seriously WTF - she needs to be locked up for being moronic alone...grrr  O but no it gets better she presses again about giving people a second chance & people make mistakes.   This was not a mistake it was a colassal example of pure negligence.    She suspects him now but she asked him to help look for her...what.   She thinks someone owed him money so o yea out of the clear blue some other low life is going to murder Neveah who is not related to him & this lousy skankerella classifies that as "someone he cares about." (close to what she said, im too livid to remember verbatim right now-ill listen back).

I digress...must collect myself, breathe, phew.   Now, I really want to see if a surveillance video can back up that she even went to a store, it is just not adding up & she is at the core of it, be it neglect, association to a SO or worse but this she is lying her rump roast off!

Bluesy I cannot tell you when Jon and Kate 8 or whatever the show is On. I will check though. I would have the same programming schedule as Chip. I have never watched the show myself. I find it actually Ironic that JB was even watching that show. Since she did she did not watch her own daughter. I know that they play reruns of this show all the time. During all days - weekends on our local cable.

I am sure that it would be much more difficult to carry, and not something that I think Jennifer could have done, especially down that steep slope.

My son tells me that you can just pour the powder out and pour on water and it will absorb it and set up. I wish he would have told us that sooner because we mixed it when we used it. But from the looks of the depth of the concrete I saw at the river, I believe it took more than one bag and so does he.  JMO
Fanny my bags came from Lowes too - and You are correct. They do not come with a handle nor do they offer any give " to grab on to" .. they slip slide and are even Nail breakers ..to pick up and move around.

Loved that NG called her on her BS more than once.  The part about her watching Nevaeh go upstairs.  Don't remember the neighbor saying that she went up there the second time that day.  That lazy bitch wouldn't move her lazy ass to even make the poor child dinner.  Getting dark at 10PM??  LOL..NG had the sunset times ready for her.

Did you notice that JB and her girlfriend were all made up like they were making their national TV debut?  Sandra Cantu's mother didn't make sure she had on all her makeup and hair done for her interviews. 

Does anyone that lives in that area know when that TV program comes on?  Jon & Kate Plus 8, I believe.



I don't even watch Jon and Kate...I have a cousin who had quints..that's enough watching for me.

But..since the big ..whatever, I am not sure what..they have been on cable relentlessly.  So I am thinking, first why would a single Mom who doesn't watch her own kid..be involved by a TV show like that..no reason at all...except she knew that it was on cable non stop...and it seemed like a good excuse to her for not paying attention to her own child.  Meaning ..once agina ..she is lying.

I went out to my garage and we had a bag of quikcrete that we had bought for a project and did not need it. It is 60 lbs. It took my hubby and myself to unload two bags out of the car, and then it was mostly just drop it to the ground and move it with a hand cart. Admittedly, I have a bad back now, and my hubby has had a stroke, so we are not in the shape we once were. Besides being heavy, the bags are unweildy, no place to grab, slippery, and tend to shift. BTW, we got it at Lowes.

I wondered about that too, and tried to checked the schedule. It seems that I remember that the Memorial Day Weekend there was sort of a back to back running of reruns as I was checking the schedule. But my cable provider won't let me go back that far to check the schedule.

On the second time around on Nancy Grace I caught something that I didn't on the first. She said she had a friend and her daughter spend the night before, and it was that child that told her that Nevaeh was riding her scooter in the street. It was the first time I had heard of the friend's sleepover. Who was she??? And at first she intimated that it was a neighborhood "tattletale" that told her.  What's this all about?

Yes...she is really a POS. But I doubt she could have carried that bag down that slope.  She had to have help in some way if she was directly involved.  

Did you catch that part about George owed someone money ..so they killed HER child?  Awfully suspicious.  Maybe SHE owed someone money.  

Wonder who watched the baby for her grandmother to work while the POS was in jail.  Nevermind as to why the POS was too good to work.

Just thought knowing when that show came on TV in that market would help w/timeline.  But if they were running a marathon...it wouldn't help.

Gypsy, when my Daughter was Neveah's age
 I able to have Cable in my Apt " I am a Single Mom Too" My cable was a freebie for lease sign and then was a cut rate after wards... and I would Never EVER want to watch a Show such as Jon & Kate ... I would rather watch something of substance that I could gain something ... and or was worth my time. And if I ever did watch cable for hours it would be because it was so flipping cold out Winter..my Daughter was not able to go outside .. and or if it was pouring rain...our Summer's are so short and so far in between you want your child to be able to be outside. Not Alone though. Never Alone. Always Supervised - Especially in Apt complexes for Sure. Just because your Neighbor has a child the same age as yours .. Does not mean anything. I never allowed my Daughter into anyone's home - Until I fully checked out MOM, Dad and the kids in the apt. I would never EVER allow my daughter to go alone and knock on someones door - can I come in ??? Never

And even then for me to allow her to go into anothers apt for more than 2 hours (with out me).
2 hours was like Over night to me. I would pace and even call after an hour - or even go and rap on the door .. could not take it...the unknown.
Apt living in lower income complexes - are always filled with transients. They May not live in the complex itself yet are allowed in ..for drugs and gods knows what.  And some do live within and show One face when you see them outside - yet once the door is shut " its another planet" ... that thrives ...and you never know. You certainly would not want your 5 yr old to find out first.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

I felt some sympathy for JB going up against Nancy.
Do we know if Nevaeh ever made it up to Austin's ?
I wanted to hear JB speak more, but Nancy kept at her.
..
They ( J and N had been at the store, KMart ? ), they came in and Nevaeh went right back out to her friends place.
..
There was a case here, pre internet, a long time ago where a three and a half year old went from her Mama's suite to her grandmother's suite in the same block. The mum did not confirm with the GM that the kiddo made it upstairs. ( She didn't ). When all was said and done, it turned out that a visitor abducted the child and killed her. An opportunistic crime. No one was in the stairwell and the kiddo was just grabbed so fast and taken away with no one hearing or seeing a thing. They did find the SO just by police work as they interviewed the residents of the block, found out who had been there that day and did a DNA comparison. It was a horrid story and it got worse as the SO was under 18 and he got very little time.
..
I am not sticking up for Jennifer and I think that she should be charged for letting the kiddo be around TWO RSO's. Someone on InSession said that these two RSO's history was not with kids that young and that would be unusual for them to go after a five year old. I don't know ?

I must find the article I read - that the little girl who notified Mom " that Neveah is riding her Scooter in the Street" the story came up to be unfounded. That it never happened.
And I am sure I read it in the Freep or Detroit News.
Just blows my Mind that JB even again said to NG tonight .. what was printed in our local news to be a LIE. And yet she says it to NG .. on National news.
I have to find the article.
But if you listen to the full interview with her and Mojo from this Morning - she says of NG reporting Neveah's story " There is nothing I can Say" to NG.  her words .........
I guess not since she could not even stay for the full program " 30" mins or less airtime. She had RUN when she keyed in to NG's Facial Expressions ..of " NOT Buying it Sister".

Kat_Gram there is a reason why NG drilled her so Hard - it is because the Mistake she made - Calling into our Local Radio Station on her Own Dime " Today" after LE left her apt and it told her by LE that the Examiner could not 100 percent find that the body was Neveah's and nor could they determine the Cause of Death. So Jennifer ran to her phone Ten Mins after LE left her Apt and got on the AIR ... and Talked and Talked and Talked ..
When you listen to it you will find NG's reason for eating her like a Ham sandwich.

For knowledge, many sexual predators start at a certain age & their preference lowers in age with time, fact.  Some stay within a range withcharacteristic features similar so that is only partially correct.  What is known is that pedophiles are repeat offenders, and there is no "cure" or therapy that works to stop them.

Well, according to JB she NOW says she got up and watched that Neveah got to her friends house which is a completely changed story from what she had previously stated, amongst many things.

How about this ... JB " Chip"

He knows something and She knows something ... He has nothing to Lose. He knows he is in deep doodoo for having a relationship with Chip .. because he was still on Parole at the time Neveah went missing. His Parole I think was up just this week ... Too bad so sad.

Matter of Fact I think Chip is still on probation ... isn't she?

Another thing that really made my blood boil:   JB had the nerve to attempt to claim that George's offense with a 15 year old was consensual, no its not its statutory rape.....She is still defending him and/or defending herself by associating with him.   I thought Nancy's eyes were gonna pop onto my living room floor (HD widescreen usually is a great thing...lol).
OH MY GAWD did you See Nancy's LEFT Nostril become the size of a Walnut ..when she said that .......... He told me he was 26 and she was 15 and it was consensual.  NG Tonite :smt106   :smt080

How about this ... JB " Chip"

  hmmmm, seems like she would be.  OMG, if she really did kill Neveah and he helped dispose of her little body, for sure I'm going to believe that our world is off it's freakin axis. What is making mothers murder their babies, gop on makeup, sunglasses and hop onboard the tabloid news circuit and not shed a tear even while discussing your childs decaying corpse?  How many have we seen in just the last few months?  Slore kc, the other girl in Palmdale, the dad in Il., now possibly this piece of chit

I watched NG last night and again this morning. I am amazed that this POS muther had the guts to go on tv. Why would anyone think that a friend owing money would make someone kill my kid. "Get to him though a close loved one" - WTF!  And the statement about "all these scenarios going through my mind" - running lies through to see which one is the best to tell? Which I have used before. Mistake on her part to be around the SO?  MISTAKE! GMAFB.   She did not know he was a criminal? SHE MET HIM IN THE PO'S OFFICE!  Did she really think he was there for a social call?

Do we have pics of the apt? Wonder if she could see out the door and upstairs with the door open from the couch?

Nevaeh's mother grilled on CNN
BY MARK W. SMITH • FREE PRESS WEB EDITOR • June 9, 2009

The mother of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan defended herself Monday night during a contentious interview with CNN’s Nancy Grace.

Jennifer Buchanan, of Monroe, repeated what she told the Free Press for a Sunday story -- that she had nothing to do with her daughter’s disappearance.

Grace grilled Buchanan on exposing her daughters to men she knew to be sex offenders.

“I know that I have made -- I have made a lot of bad choices,” Buchanan said according to a show transcript. “And who hasn't? And I know that somehow …”

Grace interrupted, “Whoa, you know what? You can stop right there. You can just stop right there, Miss Buchanan, because most mothers that I know have never knowingly exposed their little girl, a 5-year-old little girl, to a sex offender. So when you say who hasn’t? I for one haven’t. I haven’t.”

(END VIDEO CLIP)

NANCY GRACE, HOST: With us live right now, the mother of little Nevaeh, Jennifer Buchanan.

Miss Buchanan, thank you for being with us.

BUCHANAN: Hi, Nancy.

GRACE: Miss Buchanan, you said that authorities cannot identify the body. Why?

BUCHANAN: I`m assuming that she`s too decomposed for anyone to look at her physically.

GRACE: Miss Buchanan.

BUCHANAN: They wouldn`t recommend it.

GRACE: What happened? Take us through the last moments you were with Nevaeh. What happened?

BUCHANAN: The last moment I was with my daughter.

GRACE: The last few moments, yes.

BUCHANAN: She come (sic) in the house. She changed her clothes. After she changed her clothes, she said she was going back to her friend`s house.

GRACE: And?

BUCHANAN: Grabbed a popsicle on the way out the door, and she, you know -- I didn`t see her -- the last time I seen her was at 6:30.

GRACE: At what time?

BUCHANAN: 6:30.

GRACE: 6:30 p.m.?

BUCHANAN: Yes.

GRACE: Was it getting dark?

BUCHANAN: No, no, not here.

GRACE: What time does it get dark?

BUCHANAN: It doesn`t get dark until approximately around 9:00, 9:30 here.

GRACE: Huh. When did you learn Nevaeh was missing?

BUCHANAN: About a half an hour after she went outside. I had a really good friend of mine and her daughter stay the night with us. And my good friend`s daughter came in and she said, Nevaeh`s outside riding her scooter in the road.

That`s when I immediately got up and I looked for my shoes. It took a couple of minutes, a few minutes to look for my shoes. And then after that, I went outside and I noticed that she was missing and called her name.

Looked through apartment buildings. Went to quite a few of her friends` houses, thinking that she could have been, you know, in one of their homes. I looked for her at least 45 minutes.

GRACE: You stated that it was about 30 minutes later when the little girl came and said, Nevaeh`s outside on her scooter in the road? 30 minutes had passed?

BUCHANAN: Yes. Yes, because she told me she was going back upstairs to her friend`s house. And that`s assuming where she went.

GRACE: Now you stated that you, quote, "got up." Where were you?

BUCHANAN: I was just sitting right there on the -- I was sitting right there on the couch. And I was like, thinking about what I was going to make for dinner because it was around dinnertime, too. And she told me that she wasn`t hungry at the moment, but I knew that she had to eat something.

So she come (sic) in and she grabbed a popsicle on the way out the door. And that`s normally about when I know she`s getting hungry. There`s a lot of times she`s told me no, but you know, she lies.

GRACE: She lies? Did you just say the little girl lies?

BUCHANAN: About her hunger. She lied about her -- normally she lies about her hunger.

GRACE: Miss Buchanan, I was just listening to what you said on the airwaves and the radio interview, and you stated something about George Kennedy may have owed somebody some money?

BUCHANAN: I`m not too sure.

GRACE: How could that possibly.

BUCHANAN: I`m not too sure on anything.

GRACE: How could that possibly be linked to your daughter`s disappearance, the fact that this sex offender, friend of yours, owed somebody some money? How could that remotely be linked to your child`s disappearance?

BUCHANAN: I honestly don`t know. What I do know.

GRACE: Well, you`re the one that said it so you must have known something?

BUCHANAN: All these scenarios are just running through my head constantly. And I think that possibly he might have owed someone money, and then to get to him is through a close loved one or -- you know, anything. All these thoughts are just running through my head.

GRACE: You also stated in an interview that, in your mind, you hold him responsible.

BUCHANAN: I don`t put it past him.

GRACE: OK, if you don`t put it past him.

BUCHANAN: I don`t put it past anyone.

GRACE: If you don`t put it past him, what were you doing exposing your daughter to him?

BUCHANAN: Well, Nancy, I know that I have made -- I have made a lot of bad choices.

GRACE: Yes.

BUCHANAN: And who hasn`t? And I know that somehow.

GRACE: Whoa, you know what? You can stop right there. You can just stop right there, Miss Buchanan, because most mothers that I know have never knowingly exposed their little girl, a 5-year-old little girl, to a sex offender. So when you say who hasn`t? I for one haven`t. I haven`t.

BUCHANAN: Well, I just believe that everyone deserves a second chance. And that`s.

GRACE: You know, and that`s an interesting point, Miss Buchanan, you know, because Mr. Kennedy has a rap sheet dating back, we believe, prior to 2001. Marijuana possession, home invasion. There`s criminal sex conduct, accosting children. There is the rape of a 15-year-old girl that he said was consensual. I mean I`m counting it on my hand. That`s.

BUCHANAN: I didn`t learn about all those. I didn`t learn about all of those until after I got to know him, like maybe a couple of months after I got to know him. Yes, I did check him out. I confronted him about it and especially about the other girl. And he completely told me that she was 15, he was 26, and it was consensual. They`re not really.

GRACE: There`s no such thing as consensual sex with a 15-year-old in that jurisdiction. That is rape. All right? Now you just told me that you found out about two months after getting to know him, but even knowing about this rap sheet, this very extensive rap sheet, you still had him around your daughter. Why?

BUCHANAN: Because I knew that I was going to keep her close.

HOLLY HOWERTON, FRIEND OF 5-YR-OLD NEVAEH BUCHANAN`S MOTHER: She was never left alone with him to my knowledge.

BUCHANAN: Never left alone with him.

GRACE: OK, to your knowledge? Really? Miss Howerton, Holly Howerton, friend of Nevaeh`s mother. Miss Howerton, are you there 24/7?

HOWERTON: No, I`m not. I have been with her ever since her child has been missing. And I know she`s.

GRACE: Well, you know what? That`s not really doing a whole lot of good, is it? If you`re not there 24/7, then you don`t know what happened.

And my question is, forget about the sex offender just for a moment. Let`s just suspend our disbelief for a moment. The 5-year-old is out playing, it`s nearly dark outside. I`m just having a problem.

BUCHANAN: No, the sun is still out. It`s not dark at all.

GRACE: Well, you said 6:30. And then 30 minutes later, that puts it at 7:00. Isn`t that correct? You still haven`t seen your daughter. The daughter is gone. You said it gets dark around 8:00 or 9:00, yes, no?

BUCHANAN: 9:00, 9:30.

GRACE: Oh so now it doesn`t get dark until almost 10:00 p.m.? That`s not true.

BUCHANAN: Here, it is.

GRACE: Miss Buchanan, it doesn`t get dark at 10:00 at night in your jurisdiction.

BUCHANAN: Between 9:00 and 9:30.

GRACE: In the Detroit area on that day, the sun set 8:55 p.m. exactly. So your child is out. It`s been 30 minutes since you last saw her. Did you think maybe I should check on my preschooler? See if she`s dead or alive? I mean did that cross your mind?

BUCHANAN: No, because I knew that she was upstairs at her friend`s house until the little girl came up to me and said that Nevaeh was out riding her scooter in the road. That`s the point I`m.

GRACE: How did you know she was upstairs? Did you check on her? Did you go up there ever?

BUCHANAN: No, she`s -- I watched her walk in through the door.

GRACE: Really? Because earlier you said she went out the door.

(CROSSTALK)

BUCHANAN: We were just -- we just got home. She changed her clothes, everything else. I went upstairs at one point. I watched her walk in through the door. I came back downstairs. I went -- went inside.

GRACE: Because in your first version.

BUCHANAN: I knew that she was supposed to be up there.

GRACE: In your first version, you never got off the sofa. She took a popsicle, went out the door. You never said anything in your first version about watching her walk upstairs.

BUCHANAN: Right. I was still -- I was first sitting down. I got back up. I watched her walk up there. She came back downstairs. She changed her clothes. She walked back out the door with a popsicle. And then that`s whenever I was like -- she said, mom, I`m going back upstairs to Austin`s house.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: One of the things that was brought up earlier by some of our callers, some of the people that listen to our show is the reason why I think that they think that you might have had something to do with this is that at no time you have shown any emotion. What would you say to them for that?

BUCHANAN: There`s quite a few reasons why I don`t, like -- I show emotion in my own home because I feel like either way I go, I can`t win out of this situation. Like, if I cry, they`re sick of me crying because they think that I`m guilty. If I don`t cry, then I`m completely guilty and not emotional. I`m not sympathetic. I`m not remorseful.

You know all that stuff, and when I go out to actually talk to the camera crew, you know, people want to hear me correctly. I`m sorry that I don`t cry or anything. I do that in my own home.

BICKLEY: The flies just started getting terrible, and they were landing on me. I was shaking them off. And then I saw them landing on the ground down where the concrete had cracked by me walking about while I pushed down into the cracks and it went down and came right back up as if there was some kind of pressure beneath the concrete.

I then proceeded to scrape the little chunks that had cracked off with my toe, and that`s when a small area of skin was visible to both myself and my father. I didn`t want it to be the child.

No autopsy results yet in case of missing Michigan girl

MONROE, Mich. - Police say they don't yet have autopsy results from a body they believe to be that of Nevaeh Buchanan, a 5-year-old Monroe girl missing since May 24.

The Wayne County medical examiner's office is conducting an autopsy. The Monroe County sheriff also submitted DNA samples and evidence gathered from the gravesite to the Michigan State Police crime lab in Northville.

The sheriff's office said Monday no results had come back from either the medical examiner or the crime lab. The medical examiner's office says it has submitted tissue samples for special testing, and it could be at least two weeks before it has results.

The body was found Thursday along the River Raisin in Monroe County's Raisinville Township, 40 miles south of Detroit.

Nevaeh's family's wait for DNA tests likely to be longer
Tests under way on body found at river

MONROE - The family of Nevaeh Buchanan likely will have to wait several more days to learn if the decomposed body found last week along the River Raisin is their missing 5-year-old little girl.

Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said Monday that the results of DNA testing being done to positively identify the body of the young girl buried near the water's edge may not be completed until midweek.

The body of a female child similar in age to Nevaeh was found on Thursday by two fishermen just inches from the water. She was buried in a shallow grave and hidden under a layer of cement at the river bank, about seven miles west of Monroe on Dixon Road.

Nevaeh went missing May 24.

She was last seen riding a scooter in the parking lot at her apartment on North Macomb Street in Monroe.

A Newport, Mich., man and his stepfather stumbled upon the grave of a child while fishing from the bank. The body was sent to the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office in Detroit for an autopsy.
Monroe County's medical examiner, Dr. Carl Schmidt, who is chief medical examiner for Wayne County, could not be reached for comment.


Sheriff Crutchfield said yesterday that there were no visual signs of trauma or injury to the body, such as bruises, gunshot or stab wounds, broken bones, or injury from strangulation.

Dr. James Patrick, Lucas County coroner, said the length of time between death and the autopsy and temperatures during that period are among the variables that could affect the medical examiner's ability to make a ruling on the cause of death.

The general rule is that the longer the body has been left to decay, the more difficult it is to determine a cause of death, Dr. Patrick said.

"It is possible at the autopsy you may find internal evidence of manual strangulation in the form of broken bones in the larynx and so that may permit you to come up with a cause of death," Dr. Patrick said.

"On the other hand, it is absolutely correct that the longer you go from the time of death to the discovery of the body and autopsy the less chance you have of making a determination," Dr. Patrick said.

Dr. Schmidt completed his pathology residency at the former Medical College of Ohio while working in the coroner's office under Dr. Patrick.

To identify the body, investigators will rely on DNA testing instead of dental records or using visual identification.

Nevaeh's father, Shane Hinojosa, said he was told that his daughter had never been to a dentist so teeth X-rays were not available to investigators to assist in the identification process.

Yesterday, Nevaeh's mother, Jennifer Buchanan, remained inside her apartment at Charlotte Arms. Sherry Buchanan, Nevaeh's grandmother, came outside briefly to talk to reporters and went back inside her home.

The sheriff again appealed to the public for any information that might be useful in the crime to call the task force's tip line at 734-243-7070.

Convicted sex offenders George Kennedy and Roy Smith, both of whom were arrested after Nevaeh's disappearance on parole violations and questioned, have been sent to the Charles Egeler Reception and Guidance Center in Jackson.

John Cordell, prison spokesman, said both men admitted to the parole violations they were accused of and recommendations for their return to prison were made by their parole officers.

Those decisions were supported by parole violation specialists.

Among the charges that Kennedy, 39, faced were having contact with Nevaeh and her family and failing to tell his parole officer that he had moved.

Smith, 48, was found to have committed a substance abuse violation, Mr. Cordell said.

The men could be ordered to serve the rest of their sentences.

Mother of missing Monroe girl exits CNN interview

Jennifer Buchanan   
Hide Caption   Tuesday, June 09, 2009 at 10:01 a.m.


MONROE, Mich. (AP) - The mother of a missing 5-year-old Monroe girl walked off a CNN Headline News program after being questioned by the host.

Jennifer Buchanan was asked questions Monday night on several fronts, including her relationship with men police have identified as "persons of interest" in the abduction of her daughter.

Nevaeh Buchanan disappeared from her apartment complex May 24. Police believe a body found last week several miles away is Nevaeh's.

Buchanan said she has made "a lot of bad choices" when asked about befriending George Kennedy. Kennedy and his friend Roy Smith have been convicted of sex crimes and are imprisoned on parole violations.

Host Nancy Grace replied most mothers haven't "knowingly exposed their little girl" to sex offenders. Buchanan and a friend exited during a commercial break.

Crawford County, OHIO missing child -  pics of Haylee and the sex offender boyfriend {Tier III} mommy has put her in danger by being around http://is.gd/UNn3

Another one in danger because mommy has offered her own child up on a plate to a sex offender boyfriend. These mom's need to be charged with child neglect, have their child taken away from them and earn the right to be a parent again.

While the advisory for Haylee is not at the level of an Amber Alert, police said they believe Haylee is in danger.      You think? I'm getting so angry with all of this, I can hardly see straight anymore  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Me too. What are these young mom's thinking? Clearly they are NOT thinking. They are only thinking about themselves and not putting the safety and the well being of their child/children first.

If I was a judge, I would question even returning a child to a mother who knowingly dated or buddied around with a sex offender. (I'm not talking about the 18 or 19 year old who was arrested for diddling around with his 16 year old girlfriend and was charged with statutory because that's the law in their state)

I was looking at Nevaeh's forum on WS, and one of the ladies that lives in the area, posted some great pictures of the area where Nevaeh was found. Really is a beautiful area, and I can see why the fishermen were attracted to that area to fish.   ::MonkeyNoNo:: It is definitely someone who knew that area well.

Good morning monkeys,

Would it open up the eyes of the government if there were some sort of list or spread sheet made that shows each case of re-offenses, and second, third and so on chances that end up in the rape and death of someone...

what will it take? why do the CHOSE to be so blind to this?

As for punishments, not only are they not NEAR strict enough the first time, they are allowed more aznd more chances to improve on what they did wrong the next time they offend.

i myself was molested and raped and did not come forward for quite some time, i finnaly snapped when i heard my 6 1/2 yr younger sister say when she goes to stay with her dad she crawls in bed with him if she gets scared, i flipped bawled an told my mom. the ONLY reason i came forward and pursued anything was for her, and all he got was a slap on the wrist, i think it ammounted to inapropriate touching or some bs, but as far as i was concerned my whole motive for coming forward was achieved, he has not to this day (7yrs i belive since i told) has not seen my little sister so he CANNOT do to her what he did to me.

my point being he merely recieved what i would call punishment for a high school act of grabbing a tooshie....

What does it take?

ScareyCarrie  I am so very sorry  :smt056  I have no answers, none, I ask this question to myself all the time. The rights of criminals, and if you take any rights from them, the crack pots come out of the woodwork to defend them. I thought when a person gets older, you have wisdom and answers, now staring at another birthday coming very soon, I shake my head, not being able to understand very much. Maybe someday all of this will be looked at seriously, the rights and safety of the kids of this country should be top priority, but it is not.

Watched the NG interview several times now.  You can hear JB flipping paper as Nancy asks her questions.  She is looking down at notes she has made. Why would you need notes if you are telling the truth?  Here is a screen shot after they take off the mic and Holly is having problems getting hers off.  JB wants Holly out now!

I was thinking the same thing and glad you mentioned it.  She is visibly upset.  When I look at screen shots from the beginning of the interview to just before she walks off the changes in her facial expression as well as posture can not be missed. Her friend Holly also changes from  looking at JB with compassion to looking at her with a look of confusion.   She has a short fuse.  Neighbours described Neveah as a very quiet child, who did not say much and was very shy.  Had Neveah learned to blend in with the walls so as not to trigger mom?

The saddest part of NG tonite was when she said a beer can was also in the shallow grave with Nevaeh.. ::MonkeyWaa::..but hopefully
that beer can will be what hangs the POS by their b-lls. ::MonkeyNoNo::

Personally, I have a feeling that beer can was a plant.

I wonder why she even had Holly with her on camera? She had absolutely nothing to add. I doubt if they went out to eat crab puffs after the interview.  ::MonkeyRoll::  ::MonkeyDevil::

I wonder who the best friend was that spent the night with Jennifer before Nevaeh went missing. Her child was still there, so was the best friend there too? I want to know about that person.   ::MonkeyEek::

Did anyone notice that the friend does not believe the last story that JB told - watch the body language - the friend turns away with disdain on her face. Even her friend knows JB is lying.

Do we have pics of the apt? Wonder if she could see out the door and upstairs with the door open from the couch?

Absoflippinlutely!   If JB pointed her finger at me like she did to get her to move off the set as an order I would have smacked the beeotch!  Not to mention this "friend" tried to insert herself BUT admittedly she said she was around JB every day AFTER Neveah went missing...NG called her out on it.   She has nothing worthwhile to offer.

GRACE: How could that possibly be linked to your daughter`s disappearance, the fact that this sex offender, friend of yours, owed somebody some money? How could that remotely be linked to your child`s disappearance?

BUCHANAN: I honestly don`t know. What I do know.

GRACE: Well, you`re the one that said it so you must have known something?

BUCHANAN: All these scenarios are just running through my head constantly. And I think that possibly he might have owed someone money, and then to get to him is through a close loved one or -- you know, anything. All these thoughts are just running through my head.
(Could Jennifer have owed money to one of her friends, and the payment was Nevaeh?)  Why bring the owing money up for?

Tks for screen capturing that NorthernRose, its exactly what I mentioned last night.  She looked like Bertha in State prison ordering her beeotch around!   And the crib notes slayed me...you're right, I said the same thing why the heck would you need notes if you are repetitively telling the truth & are innocent, you wouldn't.   Even if this is debated, all you have to do is look back at other cases of parents truly victimized by their child's abduction/murder i.e. Mark Lunsford, John Walsh, Mark Klass, Beth on and on - they didn't need notes to go over the facts during their media interviews and they all come from diverse backgrounds & educational level.

I found it very interesting that she walked off like that considering earlier that day she called into the radio station & Nancy Grace was discussed as part of people that were criticizing her, JB knew in advance that this was not going to be a "soft" interview.    Notice Nancy Grace did not ask any accusatory questions regarding murder but more her judgment in having SO's friends around her daughter, JB couldn't take the truth being put to her.   JB also mentioned that she went to other friends houses to look for Neveah, where are these people that can back her story up...we havent heard of Neveah's friends other than Austin's parents reporting that JB picked Neveah up at 3:30 and did not mention that Neveah came back over later that night.

GRACE: In your first version, you never got off the sofa. She took a popsicle, went out the door. You never said anything in your first version about watching her walk upstairs.

BUCHANAN: Right. I was still -- I was first sitting down. I got back up. I watched her walk up there. She came back downstairs. She changed her clothes. She walked back out the door with a popsicle. And then that`s whenever I was like -- she said, mom, I`m going back upstairs to Austin`s house.

From this article interview from NG,sounds like this to me:
1)Jennifer picked Nevaeh up at friends apt. at 3:30 to 3:45 pm.
They went shopping.
2)Came back from shopping,Nevaeh went back upstairs,Mom watched her.
3)Nevaeh wet her pants,came downstairs,changed clothes,grabbed popsicle and went back upstairs.
Sounds like Nevaeh wet her pants upstairs right?I wonder why.

Hello and Thank You.  Scared Monkeys has been in my Bookmarks for a few years & I never realized there was a forum!  It's nice knowing you're among friends and like-minded people and absolutely the reason I joined!  Not only that, but you guys have the CUTEST AVATARS ON THE INTERNET - Patriotic Monkeys!!! (Two passions of mine....Patriotism and Monkeys) What could be cuter?? (Patriotic Kittens might run a close second :) ?

As a recovering Political Junkie, I have to admit I am obsessed with little Nevaeh's case.  LE sure are playing their cards close to their vests in this one and I can only pray they find the answers we are all looking for sooner than later! The total disregard for Nevaeh's life and the quality of life that the characters involved lead makes it hard to wrap my mind around.

Again, thanks for all the great things you do here at Scared Monkeys and allowing me to be a part of it!

I wish I could give you a response, but there are so many changing stories, I have no idea what is going on. It appears she had an accident upstairs, but maybe even playing on her scooter. I wonder if it has been verified if the two of them really went shopping. And what kind of shopping, groceries, odds and ends, a specific item. I take it they walked?

3)Nevaeh wet her pants,came downstairs,changed clothes,grabbed popsicle and went back upstairs.
Sounds like Nevaeh wet her pants upstairs right?I wonder why.
I don't need a response,I'm quite used to talking to myself    ::MonkeyCool::
I wish I could give you a response, but there are so many changing stories, I have no idea what is going on. It appears she had an accident upstairs, but maybe even playing on her scooter. I wonder if it has been verified if the two of them really went shopping. And what kind of shopping, groceries, odds and ends, a specific item. I take it they walked?
Hi NoRose
Here is my theory at the moment:
1)George(or Roy)pick Nevaeh and Jennifer  up for shopping or whatever around 3:30-3:45 pm.
2)They go shopping or maybe just head over to Roy's or George's motel room/s/apartment.
3)Something happens to Nevaeh,hopefully she didn't die from some sick ass playing games with her.
4)Nevaeh dies and George and/or Roy help Jennifer dispose of her body.
That's all I've got :*(

GRACE: In your first version, you never got off the sofa. She took a popsicle, went out the door. You never said anything in your first version about watching her walk upstairs.

BUCHANAN: Right. I was still -- I was first sitting down. I got back up. I watched her walk up there. She came back downstairs. She changed her clothes. She walked back out the door with a popsicle. And then that`s whenever I was like -- she said, mom, I`m going back upstairs to Austin`s house.

From this article interview from NG,sounds like this to me:
1)Jennifer picked Nevaeh up at friends apt. at 3:30 to 3:45 pm.
They went shopping.
2)Came back from shopping,Nevaeh went back upstairs,Mom watched her.
3)Nevaeh wet her pants,came downstairs,changed clothes,grabbed popsicle and went back upstairs.

Sorry,meant to respond to the bolded above.
Super Kmart's and Super Walmart's have groceries also.
Does anyone know how close these stores are to Nevaeh's apartment?

Jennifer also stated a very close friend and her daughter stayed the night before.  She then went on to say that it was the daughter (who she has called the tattletale) that came to the door to tell her that Nevaeh was riding her scooter on the road.  So Nevaeh gets fed lunch upstairs, they go to the store, comeback and Nevaeh does back up until she comes down to change grab a popsicle, lie about her hunger then goes back upstairs.  Where is the other little girl during all this?  Where is the mother of this other child during all this?  Tatletale is the one that comes up to tell her she is riding on the road but where is Mother of tattletale?  The more details she gives the less any of it is making sense.  IF the mom upstairs fed her lunch why does she not mention the second visit with the popsicle?

That sounds like it could be possible Karma. For some reason, after I heard that Nevaeh had an accident, I felt that her mother lost her temper, and Nevaeh died. The problem is would her friend George help with getting rid of Nevaeh? I feel that if it was a SO that randomly took her, I just don't see that type of buriel happening. A person like that would have just thrown her little body somewhere, but would not have worked so hard. I do believe it was someone that knew Nevaeh, I will be shocked if it is a complete stranger.

I'm completely confused by it all. And does the mother's friend and child live close or in the same apt? And all of a sudden the popsicle story? And I'm not positive, but I believe the Kmart is about a mile away.

Jennifer Buchanan Grilled by Nancy Grace

This new video is really interesting. JB was 20 minutes late for the interview as she was at the funeral home picking out a casket.  The NG interview was at the apt clubhouse. Local news was there filming last night as Norm JB's uncle was banging on the door trying to stop the interview.  JB's story changes yet again in this new video.  She now says that NG did not understand there were two times she saw Nevaeh.

2:23 of the video -
I seen my daughter twice
I watched her walk upstairs the first time
She come back downstairs, changed her clothes, did whatever she had to do and then she walked back out the door and said Mom I'm going back upstairs to Austin's
and thats where she did not realize THAT was the last time I seen her.

SO in this video , there was nothing about shopping in between, no popsicle, no Jon & Kate  or thinking about dinner.

Two ex-cons in Nevaeh case sent back to prison

The two convicted sex offenders taken into custody in relation to the disappearance of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan of Monroe have been sent back to prison to finish their original sentences, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections.


 
George Kennedy, 39, and Roy Smith, 48, both are awaiting screening at the Charles Egeler Reception and Guidance Center in Jackson.


The men will be evaluated medically and psychologically, given a security-risk rating, then shipped to a holding facility until bed space opens up in an appropriate Michigan prison, said John Cordell, a spokesman for the MDOC.


Cordell said both Kennedy and Smith waived an internal hearing and admitted they violated their paroles by being in contact with Jennifer Buchanan, Nevaeh's mother. Neither was supposed to have contact with anyone who had children.


"There was a lot of evidence" that the two men had violated the conditions of their parole, Cordell said today. "There was nothing left to say in a hearing."


The men were named early on by authorities as persons of interest when Nevaeh went missing May 24. Family members are awaiting DNA confirmation that a little girl found in a shallow grave beneath a layer of concrete along the River Raisin in Raisinville Township is the missing girl.


Neither Kennedy nor Smith has been charged in connection with that case. Each previously had been convicted of a sex assault: Smith of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, for which he was sentenced to 15-50 years in prison; Kennedy of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, for which he served more than a year in prison.


Kennedy violated the parole of a second-degree home invasion conviction, for which he got 2-15 years.


Smith and Kennedy could spend the next 35 and 13 years, respectively, behind bars for their association with Nevaeh's mother.

I remembered reading this from the last thread... snipped from Mr. Easter explaning his interrogation....


He told authorities he had been at Kmart that night. He said investigators tried to pin him down, acting like Nevaeh was at the store with her mother that day.

"They kept telling me, 'you followed her out of Kmart,' " Easter said.

Why was mother picking out a casket if they don't know for sure it is Nevaeh. And why was Uncle Norm banging on the door trying to stop the interview. And it's a good thing that the two SO friends are back in prison.

I wondered the same things Northern Rose
I think it is possible the tattletale child is older than Nevaeh and Jennifer was babysitting this child?I'm wondering if Holly is tattletale's Mom.
Why would the media report that Nevaeh's friend,Austin(8 yo)told investigators that he saw Nevaeh get stabbed in the tummy then Austin's Mom said he never said that.
Maybe the investigators made that up in order to get a search warrant for George's room.

Im a lil new at posting not sure how to get fancy  maps or scale them down, this is what i found, the apt and kmart are 1.03 mi apart, but i cant tell looking at this map as its not ariel, if maybe as a crow flies there is a shortcut looks to be straight across but on the streets you would drive around to get to it... does that make sense?

I get the feeling it was someone who knew at least Jennifer.Possible though it could have been any of the sex offenders staying at that motel.They could have seen Jennifer bring Nevaeh there when she saw George....OMG....look at ALL the SO's Jennifer exposed her own child to by giving people second chances.She needs to be arrested.

. . . and a big "YES! Was wondering the same!!" to all of the above, that many of you are asking:

- Where were the supposed "close" friend & friend's child (so, you call your dear friends' child a "tattletale", with disdain in your voice, in front of the world?!? Nice!) that were over at JB's through all of this?!? This other mystery child went up to Austin's to play as well? Was fed there as well? Went "to the store" at 3:30 as well? Can Austin's mom collaborate this story? Where was this child when Nevaeh changed her clothes & got a popsicle?
Who are these 'friends'? Have they been interviewed? Do they even exist?

- Was mystery 'close' friend helping to then look for Nevaeh after said mystery friend's "tattletale" child informed JB that Nevaeh was playing in the street? What happened to mystery child, then, while all of this 'searching' was going on? And what became of the "walking back & forth to the store" story (WTF?!?) from the first radio interview?

- And, WHO THE HE** calls their 5-year-old child - let alone their recently murdered child - A LIAR about something so simple as whether or not they're hungry?!? The disgust on NG's face & in her voice mirrored what I think all of us were feeling at that moment. (Not to mention - JB was unaware that her daughter had eaten at Austin's?) JB is behaving like a bratty little child calling everyone else a liar when they are cornered. (My blood pressure is sky high right now - arrrrrggggggh!!!)

- She only cries behind closed doors . . . are you kidding me?!? You are the mother of a brutally murdered preschooler - all the rest of the world hearing this has been bawling our eyes out - most of us never having even met the little angel. What DOES it take to make you finally break down, Jennifer?

- As you all have mentioned - never ONCE says her daughter's name - NEVAEH - in ANY of the interviews thus far. Never once speaks of trying to find who did this. Just keeps defending her behavior. Absolutely despicable. Yep, Jen Baby - the WHOLE WORLD despises you. You damn well better be afraid to even walk out your front door. You will be judged & punished for the rest of your days.

. . . and a big "YES! Was wondering the same!!" to all of the above, that many of you are asking:

- Where were the supposed "close" friend & friend's child (so, you call your dear friends' child a "tattletale", with disdain in your voice, in front of the world?!? Nice!) that were over at JB's through all of this?!? This other mystery child went up to Austin's to play as well? Was fed there as well? Went "to the store" at 3:30 as well? Can Austin's mom collaborate this story? Where was this child when Nevaeh changed her clothes & got a popsicle?
Who are these 'friends'? Have they been interviewed? Do they even exist?

- Was mystery 'close' friend helping to then look for Nevaeh after said mystery friend's "tattletale" child informed JB that Nevaeh was playing in the street? What happened to mystery child, then, while all of this 'searching' was going on? And what became of the "walking back & forth to the store" story (WTF?!?) from the first radio interview?

- And, WHO THE HE** calls their 5-year-old child - let alone their recently murdered child - A LIAR about something so simple as whether or not they're hungry?!? The disgust on NG's face & in her voice mirrored what I think all of us were feeling at that moment. (Not to mention - JB was unaware that her daughter had eaten at Austin's?) JB is behaving like a bratty little child calling everyone else a liar when they are cornered. (My blood pressure is sky high right now - arrrrrggggggh!!!)

- She only cries behind closed doors . . . are you kidding me?!? You are the mother of a brutally murdered preschooler - all the rest of the world hearing this has been bawling our eyes out - most of us never having even met the little angel. What DOES it take to make you finally break down, Jennifer?

- As you all have mentioned - never ONCE says her daughter's name - NEVAEH - in ANY of the interviews thus far. Never once speaks of trying to find who did this. Just keeps defending her behavior. Absolutely despicable. Yep, Jen Baby - the WHOLE WORLD despises you. You damn well better be afraid to even walk out your front door. You will be judged & punished for the rest of your days. (Note: NOT meant as a physical threat from me personally!)

- Statement made that she "wants for it to finally be over". . . again, HUH?!? You will be living this for the rest of your days, you stupid @#*&!?*#. It's not like just having a bad day at work, & being glad to be able to go home. Oh - wait - that's right - you've never had a JOB, or been a responsible adult, have you JB?

K. Taking a deep breath now. Thanks as always for allowing me a place to vent, monkey dears.  :smooch


I see alot of same charecteristics as Casey Anthony, poor me, cant get over herself to think of her child, name calling, blame placing, lying, story telling, psychotic, waste of an excuse of a mother for a child who is now in a better place....

GRACE: In your first version, you never got off the sofa. She took a popsicle, went out the door. You never said anything in your first version about watching her walk upstairs.

BUCHANAN: Right. I was still -- I was first sitting down. I got back up. I watched her walk up there. She came back downstairs. She changed her clothes. She walked back out the door with a popsicle. And then that`s whenever I was like -- she said, mom, I`m going back upstairs to Austin`s house.

From this article interview from NG,sounds like this to me:
1)Jennifer picked Nevaeh up at friends apt. at 3:30 to 3:45 pm.
They went shopping.
2)Came back from shopping,Nevaeh went back upstairs,Mom watched her.
3)Nevaeh wet her pants,came downstairs,changed clothes,grabbed popsicle and went back upstairs.
Sounds like Nevaeh wet her pants upstairs right?I wonder why.
I don't need a response,I'm quite used to talking to myself    ::MonkeyCool::
I wish I could give you a response, but there are so many changing stories, I have no idea what is going on. It appears she had an accident upstairs, but maybe even playing on her scooter. I wonder if it has been verified if the two of them really went shopping. And what kind of shopping, groceries, odds and ends, a specific item. I take it they walked?
Sorry,meant to respond to the bolded above.
Super Kmart's and Super Walmart's have groceries also.
Does anyone know how close these stores are to Nevaeh's apartment?

I looked up KMart, and there is no Super K Mart in Monroe. There is a KMart within walking distance of the Charlotte Arms Apts.

He told authorities he had been at Kmart that night. He said investigators tried to pin him down, acting like Nevaeh was at the store with her mother that day.

"They kept telling me, 'you followed her out of Kmart,' " Easter said.

hope this helps...

Jennifer Buchanan Grilled by Nancy Grace

This new video is really interesting. JB was 20 minutes late for the interview as she was at the funeral home picking out a casket.  The NG interview was at the apt clubhouse. Local news was there filming last night as Norm JB's uncle was banging on the door trying to stop the interview.  JB's story changes yet again in this new video.  She now says that NG did not understand there were two times she saw Nevaeh.

2:23 of the video -
I seen my daughter twice
I watched her walk upstairs the first time
She come back downstairs, changed her clothes, did whatever she had to do and then she walked back out the door and said Mom I'm going back upstairs to Austin's
and thats where she did not realize THAT was the last time I seen her.

SO in this video , there was nothing about shopping in between, no popsicle, no Jon & Kate  or thinking about dinner.

Hmmmm,not sure but I think Jennifer may be talking about all of the above happening after they got back from the store?

Last Update: 5:24 pm
(WXYZ) - The body found on the bank of the River Raisin last week is that of five-year-old Neaveh Buchanan.

VAL CLARK HAS THE LATEST IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ON THE RIGHT
Monroe County Sheriffs issued a press release Tuesday afternoon confirming that the body was Neveah's. She had been missing from her Monroe home since May 24.

The announcement ends five days of speculation, during which law-enforcement agents and Nevaeh's family admitted they were holding out hope that the remains proved to be someone else.

There still hasn't been a cause of death released in the case, which has generated national attention and caused the Michigan Department of Corrections to send two convicted sex offenders back to prison for violating their paroles by being associated with Nevaeh's mother, Jennifer Buchanan.

George Kennedy, 39, and Roy Smith, 48, are awaiting screening at the Charles Egeler Reception and Guidance Center in Jackson.

Wayne County Medical Examiner Carl Schmidt had initially said that test results could take weeks before being processed. Since Nevaeh had never had her fingerprints taken or dental records on file, tissue samples were sent for special testing, forcing officials to rely on time-consuming DNA identification.

http://www.wxyz.com/news/story/DNA-Confirms-Body-Found-is-Nevaeh/lXqKDygF6km0r1Y5BVPqfw.cspx

Sounds to me like they are going to shake JB, George, Roy to their core, give a enough rope as they say.  I feel arrests are eminent to no longer than a week or so away.

Thanks Annette and welcome to SM's

From the article you posted:
Quote
Nitin Thakore, manager of the Motel 7 on South Dixie Highway, where a convicted child molester by the name of George Kennedy had lived the past five weeks, said he senses the tragedy has made many Monroe residents fearful of going outside.

Kennedy has been described as the boyfriend of Nevaeh's mother, Jennifer Buchanan, and a "person of interest" in the case, though authorities declined at a news conference yesterday to characterize him as the lead suspect. Mr. Thakore said Kennedy was a quiet tenant who paid his $150-a-week rent on time with a credit card and didn't make trouble for anyone.

I'm wondering where George lived before the motel room?

Visitors to the Charlotte Arms apartment complex might not have picked up on the fact that 8-year-old John Morse was among the children suffering inside yesterday.

His bright eyes and big, toothy grin managed at times to conceal the anguish that his mother, Dorothy Morse, said he has been experiencing over Nevaeh's disappearance since Sunday night.

But the young boy looked forlorn when talking about her. The boy described himself and Austin Baker, another boy at the apartment complex, as Nevaeh's two closest friends there.
Records show Austin and another child named Magneta Six were the last two seen with the missing girl.

"There are a lot of her little friends around here who are taking it real hard," Mrs. Morse said.

The Morse child is a third grader at Hollywood Elementary School. He was sent home from school early Wednesday, sick to his stomach from worrying about Nevaeh. The boy's mother said he fears Nevaeh is "not going to come home."

John Morse and his 14-year-old brother, Kenneth Morse, were among a group of kids that played basketball together on May 13. Nevaeh was with them.

She loved to play baseball, whether it was taking a few swings or having a game of catch with him, John Morse said. Like other youngsters, they used their imaginations to pass the time playing with anything from toy firetrucks to live worms.

And - like other children - they also enjoyed playing an occasional game of tag at the apartment complex.

Yesterday, the 8-year-old wasn't talking as much as a child his age does.

After reminiscing about Nevaeh, he offered advice that parents often don't get from children: "Don't let your kids go outside by themselves."

John Boedicker, Jr., John Morse's stepfather, said it's going to be a hard summer for the city of Monroe if things don't start returning to normal.

"Kids are kids," Mr. Boedicker said. "They want to [go outside and] play."
I just find it a little odd that a just turned 5 year old little girl was allowed to play with 8 yo and 14 yo boys.I know,I know,I'm very cynical and suspicious.

I too am cynical and suspicious, but I have a 16 yo nephew and a 5 yo nephew that are brothers. The 16 yo friends play more with the 5 yo, than his own brother does. BUT, that being said, they are all boys. IDK, I'm trying hard not to be cynical about this. From what I have read she was a shy kid with a wretched mom, maybe the older kids felt sorry for her and tried to help the poor girl have a somewhat happy playtime. I am probably wrong, usually I am.

MONROE, Mich. (AP) — A girl's body found buried along a Michigan river was confirmed as that of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan, who has been missing since last month, authorities said Tuesday.

DNA testing positively identified her, the Monroe County Sheriff's office said in a statement. An autopsy and further tests were being conducted to determine what caused her death and when.

"I want to thank everybody who was with us through the whole ordeal," Nevaeh's uncle, Mike Buchanan, told The Detroit News for an online story published Tuesday. "I hope everyone continues to pray for us. We feel a lot of sadness, but at the same time happy because of the help our family got."

Nevaeh (nuh-VAY'-uh) disappeared from her Monroe apartment complex May 24. A father and son who were fishing found her body last Thursday along the River Raisin about 40 miles south of Detroit. Cement was found on top of the body, which appeared to be buried in a shallow grave.

Law enforcement agencies were working 24 hours a day to find Nevaeh and solicited 1,000 tips.

No one has been charged in the case, though police have identified two parolees as "persons of interest."

George Kennedy, 39, and Roy Smith, 48, violated their parole on unrelated charges by associating with Nevaeh, among other violations, Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman John Cordell said.

Both men were moved to a state prison in Jackson on Tuesday, where a parole revocation hearing will be held in the next 45 days, Cordell said.

No Rose are you agreeing with me about the boys playing and looking out for poor Nevaeh? I don't see anything wrong with these boys playing with her in a group of children. Now if the older boy ONLY played with her, that would be different, but I think they were probably looking out for a poor little girl that these boys knew the mom was a skank. I am so behind on this thread, I think I shall shut up now. JMO JSM

It sounds to me as though Nevaeh was outside and on her own a lot, without supervision.  Hopefully the 8 yr. old and his l4 yr. old brother showed her some kindness.

When I think of my own children, at Nevaeh's age,  no way would they be out and about on their own!!!

Visitors to the Charlotte Arms apartment complex might not have picked up on the fact that 8-year-old John Morse was among the children suffering inside yesterday.

His bright eyes and big, toothy grin managed at times to conceal the anguish that his mother, Dorothy Morse, said he has been experiencing over Nevaeh's disappearance since Sunday night.

But the young boy looked forlorn when talking about her. The boy described himself and Austin Baker, another boy at the apartment complex, as Nevaeh's two closest friends there.
Records show Austin and another child named Magneta Six were the last two seen with the missing girl.

"There are a lot of her little friends around here who are taking it real hard," Mrs. Morse said.

The Morse child is a third grader at Hollywood Elementary School. He was sent home from school early Wednesday, sick to his stomach from worrying about Nevaeh. The boy's mother said he fears Nevaeh is "not going to come home."

John Morse and his 14-year-old brother, Kenneth Morse, were among a group of kids that played basketball together on May 13. Nevaeh was with them.

She loved to play baseball, whether it was taking a few swings or having a game of catch with him, John Morse said. Like other youngsters, they used their imaginations to pass the time playing with anything from toy firetrucks to live worms.

And - like other children - they also enjoyed playing an occasional game of tag at the apartment complex.

Yesterday, the 8-year-old wasn't talking as much as a child his age does.

After reminiscing about Nevaeh, he offered advice that parents often don't get from children: "Don't let your kids go outside by themselves."

John Boedicker, Jr., John Morse's stepfather, said it's going to be a hard summer for the city of Monroe if things don't start returning to normal.

"Kids are kids," Mr. Boedicker said. "They want to [go outside and] play."
I just find it a little odd that a just turned 5 year old little girl was allowed to play with 8 yo and 14 yo boys.I know,I know,I'm very cynical and suspicious.
I too am cynical and suspicious, but I have a 16 yo nephew and a 5 yo nephew that are brothers. The 16 yo friends play more with the 5 yo, than his own brother does. BUT, that being said, they are all boys. IDK, I'm trying hard not to be cynical about this. From what I have read she was a shy kid with a wretched mom, maybe the older kids felt sorry for her and tried to help the poor girl have a somewhat happy playtime. I am probably wrong, usually I am.

Hi JSM and Josef
It's not something I would have allowed my daughter to do and she was a real tomboy growing up.....I dunno.....
Have a good night you all,going to watch my Wings kick some booty(hopefully)

  I'd be willing to bet that if JB had thought of it she would've said that the older kids always look out for Neveah. She's got so many excuse why she's a innattentive, lazy mother that it woulda sounded good. She just didn't think of it, yet.

Kids aren't as judgemental as adults. Nevaeh was probably accepted for just being there.
.. As for Mr. Easter's version of events, I somehow do not buy his story and chain of events, that he became a person of interest and was held for three days because he parked where the scooter was last seen.

Hi cecilita - long time no see.  Nevaeh's mother said she saw no problem...
second chance - she kept her close and all that BS.

I think she was self absorbed and poor child was fending for herself most of the time...even changing herself after bathroom accidents. 
If my kids had a bathroom accident, I would see that they were dunked in the tub, freshened up with clean clothes, etc.

I'm real curious how the grandma fit into all this. Grandma had legal custody, was she the same way, and was lazy and didn't watch Nevaeh either? I haven't heard anything about grandma and how she took care of the child.

Thanks Annette and welcome to SM's

From the article you posted:
Quote
Nitin Thakore, manager of the Motel 7 on South Dixie Highway, where a convicted child molester by the name of George Kennedy had lived the past five weeks, said he senses the tragedy has made many Monroe residents fearful of going outside.

Kennedy has been described as the boyfriend of Nevaeh's mother, Jennifer Buchanan, and a "person of interest" in the case, though authorities declined at a news conference yesterday to characterize him as the lead suspect. Mr. Thakore said Kennedy was a quiet tenant who paid his $150-a-week rent on time with a credit card and didn't make trouble for anyone.

I'm wondering where George lived before the motel room?
i SAW or heardthat GK has lived in Ohio too

I'm curious about that too.  What time did Grandma return home from work?  Does Grandma own a car?  Who minded Nevaeh prior to the daughter moving in (about two months prior, IIRC)?
Since Grandma was working and daughter had moved in did the daughter have a meal prepared for the three of them to sit down as a family on a regular basis.
On the night Nevaeh went missing, there were no meal plans.  What about the house guests?  Where did they eat? - or was there no structure or routine, barring watching television while little one fended for herself?

  Don't know NRCG but seems like the storyoof so many families today. The kids are irresponsible /in trouble/pregnant all the time and grandmom is the one who continues to pull in the money for living, like the rent and utilities. Welfare doesn't cover everything. I don't understand why the parents don't lay down the law but I have a feeling it's because they, deep down, know that if they don't allow the sluggards to mooch off of them, they'll take the grandkids to the next flop house.

Maybe that's the case here.

I sont believe thats why they held J E either. i'm thinking it had to do with JB saying he is a friend of GK and he < J E > has a g.f. that lives in the apts where N B lived. also J E was takeing care of an elderly lady in the same apts. It has been said that J E was at the apt's that day and also went to WAL-MART the day N B went missing... Maybe J E was the one that took J B to the store? i dunno. All i know is that from start till now i have always suspected J E to be part of N B death.. JMO. oh and also ,,, LE was looking for a white truck, a while back and it was found out that J E has one.. so i guess we wil wait n see.

 Yep, you're right. She did have custody.   Hmmmm, well could be that sorta beaten down viewpoint that she (or others in same situation) didn't really have custody, she was just taking care of the child cause mom was in jail , now that she's back, the child is technically grandma's but , I dunno?????/

J K and the other guy are in jail BUT J E isnt. so it looks to me like a very good possiblity it could be him and LE as they have said want to ait and get further evidence together and then put peoples time lines together and see who is lieing about thier whereabouts. J E has said he was at the apt and also at the wal mart so they will probably look at his timeline also... ohhh  and J E also said that Neveah would go over to his place at times.. hmmmmmmmmmm? now that worried me. ::MonkeyNoNo::

You know what I find so sad is that we, as a society, have not only allowed these types of situations, we have created them. We have allowed generations of people to live on welfare with no intact families, we not taken kids out of dangerous situations, we have not locked SOs up for life. And little people like Neveah are suffering. This country needs to change and protect our children like we did in generations before.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Records show Austin and another child named Magneta Six were the last two seen with the missing girl.

"There are a lot of her little friends around here who are taking it real hard," Mrs. Morse said.

The Morse child is a third grader at Hollywood Elementary School. He was sent home from school early Wednesday, sick to his stomach from worrying about Nevaeh. The boy's mother said he fears Nevaeh is "not going to come home."

John Morse and his 14-year-old brother, Kenneth Morse, were among a group of kids that played basketball together on May 13. Nevaeh was with them.

She loved to play baseball, whether it was taking a few swings or having a game of catch with him, John Morse said. Like other youngsters, they used their imaginations to pass the time playing with anything from toy firetrucks to live worms.

And - like other children - they also enjoyed playing an occasional game of tag at the apartment complex.

Yesterday, the 8-year-old wasn't talking as much as a child his age does.

After reminiscing about Nevaeh, he offered advice that parents often don't get from children: "Don't let your kids go outside by themselves."

John Boedicker, Jr., John Morse's stepfather, said it's going to be a hard summer for the city of Monroe if things don't start returning to normal.

"Kids are kids," Mr. Boedicker said. "They want to [go outside and] play."
I just find it a little odd that a just turned 5 year old little girl was allowed to play with 8 yo and 14 yo boys.I know,I know,I'm very cynical and suspicious.
I too am cynical and suspicious, but I have a 16 yo nephew and a 5 yo nephew that are brothers. The 16 yo friends play more with the 5 yo, than his own brother does. BUT, that being said, they are all boys. IDK, I'm trying hard not to be cynical about this. From what I have read she was a shy kid with a wretched mom, maybe the older kids felt sorry for her and tried to help the poor girl have a somewhat happy playtime. I am probably wrong, usually I am.

Hi JSM and Josef
It's not something I would have allowed my daughter to do and she was a real tomboy growing up.....I dunno.....
Have a good night you all,going to watch my Wings kick some booty(hopefully)
Hi Karma, I was a tomboy and played with the older boys when I was her age. They let me kick the soccer ball around, etc. But my parents or other parents were around when I was her age.

You know what I find so sad is that we, as a society, have not only allowed these types of situations, we have created them. We have allowed generations of people to live on welfare with no intact families, we not taken kids out of dangerous situations, we have not locked SOs up for life. And little people like Neveah are suffering. This country needs to change and protect our children like we did in generations before.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

true...and the phrase...it takes a village to raise a child is so correct...
years ago, everyone watched out for others, now, no one wants to be bothered...not their business, not their problem...

I also have suspicions about Easter
I don't think Grandma should get any awards for parenting ... she raised JB.  No one in this little angel's  ::MonkeyAngel:: life did much to give her what little girls should have ... love, safety, a chance for a life  ::MonkeyWaa::
Hi Catbert,,,, your suspicions about J E may be right too. If you look at what the sheriff has said about the person is STILL OUT THERE. well.. J K and the other guy are in jail BUT J E isnt. so it looks to me like a very good possiblity it could be him and LE as they have said want to ait and get further evidence together and then put peoples time lines together and see who is lieing about thier whereabouts. J E has said he was at the apt and also at the wal mart so they will probably look at his timeline also... ohhh  and J E also said that Neveah would go over to his place at times.. hmmmmmmmmmm? now that worried me. ::MonkeyNoNo::

OH my shewent to creepyEaster's house ... I missed that  ::MonkeyNoNo::
Yes. J E said she would go over and help with lawn work. ::MonkeyWaa:: ::MonkeyNoNo::

Okay for what it is worth. I just walked Josef in my apartments. It is nice outside, I am antisocialish and don't talk to neighbors. BUT, the kids were out wanting to pet my dog. All I could see were parents looking to see if their kid was going to get bit by my dog. The baby is probably 2 1/2 to 3, not related to the others. But his dad was helping take training wheels off of bikes for the older kids, etc. There were probably more parents watching their kids than there were kids outside.

Just wanted to pass that along. I am so confused about this case. Sorry for the diatribe. I am now shutting up and going to bed. God Bless Neveah and may her killer rot in Hell. JMO JSM

Hello and Thank You.  Scared Monkeys has been in my Bookmarks for a few years & I never realized there was a forum!  It's nice knowing you're among friends and like-minded people and absolutely the reason I joined!  Not only that, but you guys have the CUTEST AVATARS ON THE INTERNET - Patriotic Monkeys!!! (Two passions of mine....Patriotism and Monkeys) What could be cuter?? (Patriotic Kittens might run a close second :) ?

As a recovering Political Junkie, I have to admit I am obsessed with little Nevaeh's case.  LE sure are playing their cards close to their vests in this one and I can only pray they find the answers we are all looking for sooner than later! The total disregard for Nevaeh's life and the quality of life that the characters involved lead makes it hard to wrap my mind around.

Again, thanks for all the great things you do here at Scared Monkeys and allowing me to be a part of it!

 




Hey, Welcome--this is the greatest forum ever.  Everyone is so informative,and nice here.  It's my favorite place.  Glad you are here with us!

In my neighbourhood, I hardly ever see kids without parents.
There is a park close by and sometimes older kids, but never five year olds by themselves.

As for Mr. Easter, why would he come home after being questioned and burn the receipts that he didn't need any more because the police had just seen them. He makes no sense at all.

Is the mother pregnant? i think that she really had something with George, Maybe with nevaeh she couldn't be with him as she wanted because he couldn't to stay around kids.
Hi cecilita - long time no see.  Nevaeh's mother said she saw no problem...
second chance - she kept her close and all that BS.

I think she was self absorbed and poor child was fending for herself most of the time...even changing herself after bathroom accidents. 
If my kids had a bathroom accident, I would see that they were dunked in the tub, freshened up with clean clothes, etc.

 

hi can and monkeys,
I think the mother knew that George could'nt stay close to kids for his pass. Maybe they planned to put the kid away because they couln'd to have a normal relationship with nevaeh, and maybe she agreed with that. I believe that she wanted to start a new life with him without the baby. i believe that george and her had that conversation

anything is possible in this case..the mother has told so many different stories and we really don't have a correct time line cause of her changing stories and when she saw her last etc..I think that she is involved somehow...no remorse...no emotions....it is like she is talking about a ham sandwich instead of her little daughter!
I am glad that LE didn't mess around with George and his buddy and put them right back in prison..perhaps some of these other offenders will take heed and will stay away from mothers with children...which I doubt...they think they are too clever to get caught...jmo.

MATTHEW ZARRELL, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Well, this is a guy named James Easter, and he has been called a person of interest in the case. He allegedly was outside, burning cardboard in his back yard, a few hours after Nevaeh went missing.

Now, what happened is, he was brought in for arraignment, and at the arraignment, the judge said he was informed by the state that he was no longer a person of interest. However, right after the hearing, the cops said, That`s not true, he`s still a person of interest, we`re waiting for evidence back from the crime lab. ::MonkeyShocked::

Just got in and heard the news confirming that the body was Nevaeh's.  God Rest her Little Soul.  She's a beautiful little angel now.  I just need to find a way to deal with the incredible anger I have inside me.  For the life of me, I can't understand (a) how someone could take the life of an innocent child and (b) continue to live without conscience knowing what they did and knowing that the nation is searching for them.  How can someone have such a hardened heart that they can look at the pictures of this little girl, think about her kindness, her innocence, her soft little voice, her pretty little face, her happy-go-lucky personality, her last moments of life, replay in their mind what they did to her, and not feel something?  Not an iota of remorse?  Not a single tear to be shed?  Not an ounce of sadness?  Nothing?  How can that be?  HOW CAN THAT BE????????  This dirty rotten F'n SOB is out there somewhere--and he/she will be hunted down like the POS they are.  I pray to God that if He answers any of my prayers, its that the perpetrator of this crime is caught, and caught soon.  I truly believe that will be the case.


God Bless you Nevaeh.  You are in a better place now--never to be hurt again.   ::MonkeyAngel::

Quote
Visitors to the Charlotte Arms apartment complex might not have picked up on the fact that 8-year-old John Morse was among the children suffering inside yesterday.

His bright eyes and big, toothy grin managed at times to conceal the anguish that his mother, Dorothy Morse, said he has been experiencing over Nevaeh's disappearance since Sunday night.

But the young boy looked forlorn when talking about her. The boy described himself and Austin Baker, another boy at the apartment complex, as Nevaeh's two closest friends there.
Records show Austin and another child named Magneta Six were the last two seen with the missing girl.

"There are a lot of her little friends around here who are taking it real hard," Mrs. Morse said.

The Morse child is a third grader at Hollywood Elementary School. He was sent home from school early Wednesday, sick to his stomach from worrying about Nevaeh. The boy's mother said he fears Nevaeh is "not going to come home."

John Morse and his 14-year-old brother, Kenneth Morse, were among a group of kids that played basketball together on May 13. Nevaeh was with them.

She loved to play baseball, whether it was taking a few swings or having a game of catch with him, John Morse said. Like other youngsters, they used their imaginations to pass the time playing with anything from toy firetrucks to live worms.

And - like other children - they also enjoyed playing an occasional game of tag at the apartment complex.

Yesterday, the 8-year-old wasn't talking as much as a child his age does.

After reminiscing about Nevaeh, he offered advice that parents often don't get from children: "Don't let your kids go outside by themselves."

John Boedicker, Jr., John Morse's stepfather, said it's going to be a hard summer for the city of Monroe if things don't start returning to normal.

"Kids are kids," Mr. Boedicker said. "They want to [go outside and] play."
I just find it a little odd that a just turned 5 year old little girl was allowed to play with 8 yo and 14 yo boys.I know,I know,I'm very cynical and suspicious.
I too am cynical and suspicious, but I have a 16 yo nephew and a 5 yo nephew that are brothers. The 16 yo friends play more with the 5 yo, than his own brother does. BUT, that being said, they are all boys. IDK, I'm trying hard not to be cynical about this. From what I have read she was a shy kid with a wretched mom, maybe the older kids felt sorry for her and tried to help the poor girl have a somewhat happy playtime. I am probably wrong, usually I am.

Hi Karma, I was a tomboy and played with the older boys when I was her age. They let me kick the soccer ball around, etc. But my parents or other parents were around when I was her age.
Same here JSM
I was a tomboy and hung around the boys as much as the girls but not on my own and not at age 5.
I too am wondering who watched Nevaeh while Gramma worked.....what hoyrs did she work?What does she drive if she drives?
I know Nevaeh was in HeadStart school but don't know if she went half days or full days but regardless,seems Gramma worked at least one late shift per week.Who watched Nevaeh before so called Mom got out of jail.....

for some reason I am not thinking that George did this...maybe his buddy, but not George...
I think that Jennifer is trying to set him up...I think she did this...She knew that George should not be around a woman with kids...she wanted George, especially since he has found another woman...thus, get rid of your kid...kindof like Susan Smith...Now George is back in prison along with the other guy...at least that is 2 more of these creeps off the street...
does anyone know if George's girlfriend has children? wonder what she thinks about Jennifer throwing out remarks about her and about George? she just may have some info that the police might be interested in now that George and his buddy are tucked away in prison...
That could very well be but for me I'm thining that maybe J E has tried to set it up to look like G K did it.. JMO, any other thoughts on this?>

anything is possible in this case..the mother has told so many different stories and we really don't have a correct time line cause of her changing stories and when she saw her last etc..I think that she is involved somehow...no remorse...no emotions....it is like she is talking about a ham sandwich instead of her little daughter!
I am glad that LE didn't mess around with George and his buddy and put them right back in prison..perhaps some of these other offenders will take heed and will stay away from mothers with children...which I doubt...they think they are too clever to get caught...jmo.
I'm glad they are both back in jail also but I think the main reason they were sent back to jail was Monroe LE didn't want to look any more stupid than they already do.IF they would have taken the reports from George's PO(3 reports filed that George was hanging with a woman with a small daughter)seriously to begin with,Nevaeh might still be alive.

Dolce, I think that is a good idea. Your hormones are going to have to settle down again, and with me sometimes sad things were amplified  after the birth of all four of my children. I could cry at the drop of a hat and would feel very down. The baby blues, as they are sometimes known. Don't tempt fate and try to keep thinking happy thoughts. You are a nursing mother and it does effect all that too.    ::MonkeyAngel::

Hearts break as DNA shows body is missing 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan

MONROE — For nearly five days, Nevaeh Buchanan’s family remained hopeful the body found along the River Raisin wasn’t that of the 5-year-old who went missing more than two weeks ago outside her North Macomb Street apartment.

That hope turned to sadness yesterday as they learned that DNA testing confirmed the child buried in a shallow grave, just inches from the river, was Nevaeh.

Family members, some of whom spoke last night outside Charlotte Arms apartments where Nevaeh lived with her mother and grandmother, said they were heartbroken. “I [would have] liked to hold her and love her to death again. She is going to be well missed by this family. I can’t say no more. It’s just killing me. My kneecaps are shaking,” said Diane Lawson, Nevaeh’s great aunt.

Michael Buchanan, the victim’s uncle, said the family has been overwhelmed by the community’s support. He thanked everyone who helped in the search or gave donations. “I feel a lot of sadness now, but at the same time, I am happy for the help that our family has gotten,” Mr. Buchanan said.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office released no more information on the autopsy being performed by the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office in Detroit. Authorities have said the body had no signs of trauma.

Sgt. Brian Angerer said the results of the DNA testing were the only information released. The autopsy was continuing. “We are putting out the information as soon as we get it,” he said.

Nevaeh’s grandmother, Sherry Buchanan, who remained inside her apartment last night with her daughter, Jennifer Buchanan, 24, had said she wouldn’t believe the body was Nevaeh’s until she received DNA confirmation.

Ms. Lawson came out of the Buchanans’ apartment, where she had been looking at photographs of Nevaeh with the family.

The snapshots showed happier times in the Buchanans’ lives: last year’s Halloween, when Nevaeh wore a princess costume; holidays under the Christmas tree with the child opening gifts, and Nevaeh hugging a giant reindeer, one of her many stuffed toys.

“We got a lot of pictures of her.

We are in there just looking at them, trying to be cheerful,” Ms. Lawson said. “I couldn’t express how I feel right now. I can only say that deep inside, it is killing me.”

Visitors continued to leave items at a memorial under a large tree outside the apartment.

Megan Brown of Detroit dropped off a stuffed elephant alongside the other stuffed toys, candles, balloons, and flowers.

The mother of a 1-year-old girl, she said she felt bad for the Buchanans. “They have to hurt. I don’t even know [Nevaeh], and it’s hurting me,” the woman said, adding that the elephant, named Lucky, was her daughter’s favorite toy.

Ms. Lawson said the family will make funeral arrangements today with Merkle Funeral Home on North Monroe Street.

Christy Keely, 48, of Monroe went to the memorial and knelt near the tree wrapped with a yellow ribbon. “To lose a child, I don’t think I can do it,” Ms. Keely said. She went to the apartment after Bible study.

The Rev. Dale Hanford, senior pastor of Monroe Crosswalk Community Church, prayed with family members last night for more than hour in the community room at the complex. “They are very exhausted. They are very hurting right now. It has been a long 2½ weeks. The tough time is yet to come in the next three to four days.”

Mr. Hanford said the funeral is set for Saturday at Stewart Road Christian Ministries Center. Burial will be in St. Joseph Cemetery. Visitation will be tomorrow and Friday at the funeral home.

A Newport, Mich., man and his stepfather who were fishing on the bend of the river on Dixon Road in Raisinville Township found Nevaeh’s body about noon last Thursday. She was buried in a shallow grave and covered with cement that began crumbling when the men walked on it.

Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield had said there was “reasonable suspicion” the body was the girl’s because of the child’s age and gender, as well as clothing similar to that worn by Nevaeh when she went missing.

Two people previously identified by police as “persons of interest” in the case were moved to a state prison in Jackson recently, where a parole revocation hearing will be held in the next 45 days, Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman John Cordell said. George Kennedy, 39, and Roy Lee Smith, 48, violated their parole on unrelated charges by associating with Nevaeh and her family, among other violations. Both are registered sex offenders.

The sheriff’s office, which is leading a multijurisdictional task force investigating the case, has received nearly 1,100 tips and leads, and continues to receive and act on tips.

No arrests have been made. People with information are asked to call the tip line, 734-243-7070.

Nevaeh’s case becomes top priority for crime lab
Family’s hopes vanish as test confirms worst fears
BY AMBER HUNT • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • June 9, 2009

The search for Nevaeh Buchanan officially ended Tuesday as the Michigan State Police crime lab in Northville positively identified the body found last week in a shallow grave as the missing 5-year-old Monroe girl.

DNA testing results concluded that Nevaeh indeed was found by fishermen Thursday beneath a layer of concrete along the River Raisin in Raisinville Township, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday afternoon.

Investigators did not release a cause of death, nor is anyone in custody. The girl disappeared May 24 from her apartment complex.

Though Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said Friday that the girl found near the river likely was Nevaeh, family members held out hope the girl might still be alive.

Cathy DeWilde, Nevaeh’s great-aunt, said the news devastated her sister Sherry Buchanan, who is Nevaeh’s grandmother and her legal custodian.


“I knew it, and my husband knew it, but I couldn’t get it across to my sister because she raised the baby,” said DeWilde, 55, of Monroe. “I was just praying to the Lord that they’d send someone to find the body so we could bring her home.”


The funeral at noon Saturday is open to the public at Stewart Road Christian Ministries, 1199 Stewart Road, Monroe. Visitation times have not been set, but will be Thursday and Friday at Merkle Funeral Home, 2442 N. Monroe St., Monroe.


Meanwhile, the death has earned the dubious honor of being priority No. 1 for State Police forensic analysts.


Capt. Michael Thomas, director of the State Police forensic division, said Nevaeh’s case leapfrogged thousands of others backlogged for months — hundreds of them homicides — because of its “sensitive nature.”


“There’s someone out there who might have killed a little girl,” Thomas said. “She is the top priority.”


Family members gathered Tuesday evening in the Monroe apartment where Nevaeh lived with her mother, Jennifer Buchanan, and her grandmother and legal guardian, Sherry Buchanan. Relatives said both women aren’t surprised by the identification, but they’re still heartbroken.

Diana Lawson, a great-aunt of Nevaeh and one of Sherry Buchanan’s sisters, came outside holding a stack of photographs of Nevaeh showing her at Halloween and at other moments of her young life.

“Deep inside, it’s killing me,” Lawson said as she held up a photo of Nevaeh hugging a stuffed animal. “I wish she was here to hug me instead.


“My heart’s just dying right now.”


Nevaeh disappeared May 24. Thomas said forensic analysts next will tackle evidence taken from the gravesite found by two fishermen and from Nevaeh’s body. That analysis will take weeks, he said, which he acknowledged means that thousands of other cases will be put on hold because of dwindling resources and a backlog that has packed the state’s seven crime labs with so much evidence that facilities are overflowing.

On top of the 110,000 cases the State Police handles for 650 agencies, it also is handling an estimated 20,000 cases annually out of Detroit, because the city’s crime lab shut down last year.


“Every lab in the state is behind because each is handling cases from Detroit,” Thomas said.


He said things will get worse in coming months because the labs will be shut down for six days to save the state money as part of Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s budget furlough program. Also, beginning next month, anyone arrested on suspicion of a crime will be required to submit to DNA testing under state law.


Meanwhile, two convicted sex offenders out on parole who had been labeled as people of interest in Nevaeh’s case have been sent back to prison to finish their original sentences, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections. George Kennedy, 39, and Roy Smith, 48, violated their paroles by being in contact with Jennifer Buchanan, Nevaeh’s mother, said John Cordell, a department spokesman. Neither was supposed to have contact with anyone who had children.

As a Michigander I am appalled at the lack of funding for crime labs ect. Seems it is more important to our govener to give tax breaks to casinos and work to drive business out of state by a smoking ban and other new rules. Sad that the life of a child is less important to these people than that other BS.

That turned out not to be true. She was asked to leave town because she was having "issues" with Jennifer. She went back to Toledo where she lived. The money was given to the reward fund started by the P.I. friend of the family Ryan Duvall.

What is being done with that community based reward fund. I am not sure.

Thank you Pink for clearing that up! I am relieved to know that it was not true. There are enough questionable  characters involved already.

Hi  NRCG - Thank you for the Welcome, that was kind of you.  I agree that this article dribbles out one tip from the thousands that LE has received.  Seems kinda wierd. 

I do think that with Smith being 48, and Kennedy being 39, that doesn't exactly match the description given of the two men that this couple helped.  Seems if LE had a wrap on any forensic evidence by now, they would be releasing at least a little bit of it if it helped to ease the communities fears that the murderer(s) of a child was behind bars.

Union Denies Exploiting
Girl's Death
Updated: Wednesday, 10 Jun 2009, 7:14 PM EDT

By Tim Skubick
FOX 2 News
LANSING, Mich. - The death of Nevaeh Buchanan is now a hot button issue in Lansing. Questions are being raised about the two convicted sex offenders who were close to the family and how they got out of prison in the first place. However, some believe Nevaeh's death is being exploited.

"I'm angry," said State Corrections Director Patricia Caruso. "Shame on you."

Caruso was responding to a published report in the MIRS newsletter published in Lansing suggesting a link between the Michigan Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative (MPRI) and the death of the Buchanan girl.

UAW Local 6000 contends there are flaws in the MPRI system that could lead to crimes.

Director Caruso was asked "So, you believe the union is trying to use this issue, this little girl's death, to advance their union agenda?" She responded, "I'm ashamed to even say that because I would hate to think that anyone affiliated with our department in any way would do that, but it appears that way."

We asked union official Alan Kilar of UAW 6000 if they were trying to exploit this little girl's death. He responded, "No. We're not asking for more agents. We're asking for more services for our community there. For our members. ... We have nothing to gain by it."

Sen. Alan Cropsey chaired the hearing in which a union spokesperson said the Buchanan murder "may just be the tip of the iceberg". However, he defends the union on the linkage issue. "No, I don't think they're actually linking the two. I think they're saying there's crime that's going to be happening if we don't have better oversight. There's going to be more crime and this could be one of them," he said.

Kyle Melinn, the MIRS reporter who covered the story, confirms the union never made a direct link. He adds, "They didn't directly say MPRI created this. They did not say that."

Bottom line, Kilar says he has talked to Director Caruso and they have patched up their differences.

Community moves to new stage in dead girl's saga
By DAVID GRANT | Associated Press Writer
5:02 PM CDT, June 10, 2009
MONROE, Mich. - For the family of Nevaeh Buchanan, the prayer has changed.

When the Rev. Sam Luke first met the Buchanans, he was "standing in a room holding the hand of a grandmother and a mother who are terrified. We didn't know if she was dead or alive, so you pray that the Lord will comfort them and give them strength."

When police confirmed Tuesday that a body found along the River Raisin last week was 5-year-old Nevaeh's, Luke said, "you pray that they'll have peace."

After three weeks of painful mystery in which police scoured Monroe County's Raisinville Township, 35 miles south of Detroit, for the missing girl, the Buchanan family and the local community are turning to a new chapter: whoever might be responsible for Nevaeh's death.

"Everybody in this community has been touched by this tragedy. ... Everybody who has a child is now concerned about the safety of their child even more than they were three weeks ago," said Luke, pastor of Stewart Road Church of God.

Two "persons of interest" in the case await parole revocation hearings for having associated with Jennifer Buchanan, Nevaeh's mother, among other violations. The two men, George Kennedy, 39, and Roy Smith, 48, are being held in a Jackson prison. Kennedy had been a friend of Jennifer Buchanan, herself a convicted felon.

Diane Lawson, Nevaeh's great-aunt, once warned Kennedy, a registered sex offender released from prison in 2003 after serving time for fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, that if "any harm comes to my niece I will see that he gets punished any way he can."

Monroe Mayor Mark Worrell said members of the community have expressed dismay at the circumstances surrounding Nevaeh's disappearance, including questioning the girl's supervision at the time. But he said that such conversations would not prove productive.

"You can be shocked and upset about what has occurred, but we have to keep a cool head about what we do. We have to allow the law enforcement agencies to do what they need to do to go through the right process to find who did this," Worrell said. "We have to be careful about the finger pointing, and there's a lot of that going on in the community."

In the meantime, Nevaeh's closed casket funeral will be held Saturday at Luke's church. The Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office released her body to the funeral home Wednesday, saying in a statement that the cause of death has not yet been determined.

Luke said he intends to make the funeral a small, intimate affair with no media access on the church grounds. The community has donated items including dresses for Nevaeh and her mother and great-aunt.

"I don't think that anybody who has been contacted has said no to anything," Luke said.

A memorial fund has been established to help pay for Nevaeh's funeral expenses, said Kathleen Russeau, executive director of the Community Foundation of Monroe County, which is administering the fund.

Any money left over in the Nevaeh Buchanan Memorial Fund will be used to help establish an endowment to pay funeral expenses for children of indigent families, Russeau said.

For longtime local residents, however, the shock of the past three weeks has not worn off.

"I've lived out here 33 years and I've never heard of a kid being taken," said Robert Malek, 51. "This is the first. And hopefully it will be the last."

Union Denies Exploiting
Girl's Death

FOX 2 News
LANSING, Mich. - The death of Nevaeh Buchanan is now a hot button issue in Lansing. Questions are being raised about the two convicted sex offenders who were close to the family and how they got out of prison in the first place. However, some believe Nevaeh's death is being exploited.

"I'm angry," said State Corrections Director Patricia Caruso. "Shame on you."

Caruso was responding to a published report in the MIRS newsletter published in Lansing suggesting a link between the Michigan Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative (MPRI) and the death of the Buchanan girl.

UAW Local 6000 contends there are flaws in the MPRI system that could lead to crimes.

Director Caruso was asked "So, you believe the union is trying to use this issue, this little girl's death, to advance their union agenda?" She responded, "I'm ashamed to even say that because I would hate to think that anyone affiliated with our department in any way would do that, but it appears that way."

We asked union official Alan Kilar of UAW 6000 if they were trying to exploit this little girl's death. He responded, "No. We're not asking for more agents. We're asking for more services for our community there. For our members. ... We have nothing to gain by it."

Sen. Alan Cropsey chaired the hearing in which a union spokesperson said the Buchanan murder "may just be the tip of the iceberg". However, he defends the union on the linkage issue. "No, I don't think they're actually linking the two. I think they're saying there's crime that's going to be happening if we don't have better oversight. There's going to be more crime and this could be one of them," he said.

Kyle Melinn, the MIRS reporter who covered the story, confirms the union never made a direct link. He adds, "They didn't directly say MPRI created this. They did not say that."

Bottom line, Kilar says he has talked to Director Caruso and they have patched up their differences.

New Lead In Nevaeh Case
 
Monroe (WWJ)  -- Investigators are looking into new leads that might help solve the murder of five-year old Nevaeh Buchanan. 

A Monroe couple has come forward, telling police that they helped two men pull their car out of a muddy bank along the River Raisin.  The riverbank was in the same area where Nevaeh's body was found, and the car was pulled from the bank just hours after Nevaeh disappeared.

Police are also scrutinizing a gas station surveillance tape where convicted sex offender George Kennedy, 39, was seen the night the girl went missing.  He and acquaintance Roy Smith, 48, are now in a Jackson prison on parole violations.  Both have been questioned by police about the death but neither has been charged.

While her body has been positively identified, a cause of death for the five-year old hasn't been determined.  Meantime, an outpouring of community support and grief is expected when visitations begin Thursday at noon at the Merkle Funeral Home in Monroe.

Donations to help pay funeral expenses can be made payable to the Community Foundation of Monroe County, with a note that it is for the Nevaeh Buchanan Memorial Fund. Contact 734-242-1976 for more information.

Good Morning Monkeys and guests!   ::MonkeyAngel::

Now that we are hearing reports of a car being pulled out from the scene on the Raisin River, I noticed something in the arial pics we were seeing at the scene the day of recovery. There was a set of tire tracks that went straight back from the road on the opposite side of the road from the river. I wondered who would have a vehicle over there. I'm wondering now if this has anything to do with the pulling of the car out on June 24. I'll attempt to find the picture I was referring to. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not fully awake yet.   ::MonkeyWink::

Donations pour in for Nevaeh's funeral

BY TAMMY STABLES BATTAGLIA
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER

As they did to help search for missing 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan, the Monroe community is pulling together again -- this time to bury the little girl.

From an $80,000 Harley-Davidson hearse in honor of Nevaeh's love of motorcycles, to money for her casket, most of the costs of Nevaeh's funeral are being donated.

"There's been a lot of outpouring," said Sherry Buchanan, Nevaeh's grandmother.

Three funeral homes offered to donate their services, with the family deciding on Merkle Funeral Service in Monroe.

The funeral home's director, Brian Merkle, said a number of veterans' groups and motorcycle clubs have offered to participate in the processional after hearing about how Nevaeh enjoyed playing with toy motorcycles.

And the Monroe County Community Credit Union has established a fund to help cover incidentals, he said.

"The whole community's pulling together," Merkle said.

Wow, and two decent people that were trying to help get a car out of the mud, and these two men could be the people that did this to Nevaeh, but they also could have been fishing. This couple must be beating themselves up over this, I know I would be.

Morning Rosie!

The article that Jess posted above certainly leads one to believe that LE is looking closely at Smith, though - more than I had even realized. The fact that the woman who was visiting him says "he was acting strange" after Nevaeh was missing is something that makes one go "...hmmmm..." - but then again, he is a creepy ex-con, so what is "strange" in that context?!? (Even stranger than usual? LOL)

I would imagine GK & RS have made plenty of lovely "contacts" through prison, the halfway house, etc. - perhaps they 'contracted out' the dirty job of getting rid of the body? It's probably too judgemental & not at all PC of me to say, but when I see guys with tats all the way up their neck, it screams 'prison tats' to me. (We see such characters in the store sometimes, and we all get nervous & keep an eye on them . . . )

That article made me think also that Smith may be top of the list as a suspect. What that woman was all saying made me very suspicious, but I also shook my head wondering why this woman and her daughter were hanging out with him to begin with.

I will agree. After seeing some great pictures of the area taken by a local on WS, that area is very nice, and I'm sure a great place to fish. These two men could have just been fishing, but of course who knows?

What is this like The Beverly Hillbillies, with granny saying a young man is coming over to court Elly Mae?  Do people just have no concern about SO's. I'm baffled by all of this. I know no SO would be courting one of my daughters, it would be over my dead body.

Good Morning Monkeys and guests!   ::MonkeyAngel::

Now that we are hearing reports of a car being pulled out from the scene on the Raisin River, I noticed something in the arial pics we were seeing at the scene the day of recovery. There was a set of tire tracks that went straight back from the road on the opposite side of the road from the river. I wondered who would have a vehicle over there. I'm wondering now if this has anything to do with the pulling of the car out on June 24. I'll attempt to find the picture I was referring to. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not fully awake yet.   ::MonkeyWink::

Fanny I have circled it.  Hope this is what you were referring to.  Going to look at teeth and necks now:

I looked, and I wish they would have taken the Breaking News banner down. They show a quick glimpse at what I was talking about at 0:07 on the video. I have been looking at another on a Nancy Grace Youtube and you can see from one side of it's at 4:24 from another angle. The one I was looking for was from the end far away from the scene, and you can see the tracks that go back for a good ways.

Fund started to pay for funeral expenses
, last modified June 10. 2009 11:14AM
donations accepted
A fund has been started at the Community Foundation of Monroe County to help pay funeral-related costs for Nevaeh Buchanan. If excess funds are collected, it will form the basis for an interest-bearing endowment to pay for future funeral costs for children of indigent families, said Kathleen Russeau, executive director.
Checks should be made payable to the Community Foundation of Monroe County, noting on the check that it is for the Nevaeh Buchanan Memorial Fund. The foundation is at 28 S. Macomb St. The phone number is 242-1976.

thanks NoRose...I will contribute for Nevaeh...but not a dime to her mother...

Its disgusting that society has to pay for what this mother with a U didn't even bother or attempt to provide for Neveah, no steady income, no insurance, no savings, nadda - nothing, deplorable!  I will contribute for Neveah if we are assured none of it will go to JB.

Funeral home prepares for outpouring of final respects
by Ray Kisonas , last modified June 11. 2009 11:43AM
— Evening News photo by BRYAN BOSCH

Pictures, flowers and favorite toys surround a small casket for Nevaeh Buchanan at Merkle Funeral Service, 2442 N. Monroe St.
A wooden cross overlooks the small, white casket that is covered with colorful fresh flowers. A small stuffed dog sits in the middle of the arrangement.
A large portrait of Nevaeh on a stand is to the left and a heart-shaped arrangement of flowers with a "daughter" banner is to the right.
Today begins the first of two days of visitation for the Buchanan family as hundreds of mourners from the community are expected to pay their respects to the 5-year-old girl whose disappearance and death outraged and saddened the Monroe community and beyond.
"Funerals are a celebration of life," said Brian Merkle, manager of Merkle Funeral Service, 2442 N. Monroe St., north of the mall. "We’re going to celebrate those five years of her life."
This morning the media were allowed, with the family’s permission, to view the room where people are expected to pay their last respects through Friday night.
In addition to the casket, there are montages of photos of Nevaeh. In one group, there are images of her in various stages of childhood. As a baby, she’s sitting in a high chair, smiling and covered in chocolate. In another, it looks like she’s learning to walk.
Mr. Merkle said the funeral home is donating services, but other costs are being covered through other means.
"We’ve been offered funds from all over the country," he said. "We want to help them through the process."
The media will be kept across the street to allow mourners privacy. After the funeral, the procession will drive by Munson Park, because she loved to visit there, and the Custer statue because Mr. Merkle said she was interested in Monroe’s famous general.
Mr. Merkle said the funeral home’s Web site received five times more visits than normal, with people logging in from Maryland to Hawaii.
Parking will be allowed across the street at the Church of God Mountain Assembly and a shuttle service will be provided.

I was thinking the same thing too-the fire ring is really close to the house.  I have true fire pit-it's dug out a little in the ground, with stone masonry around it and then a smaller ring on one side on the inside.  And it isn't anywhere near anything that can burn.  In my county, there are ordinances as to how close you can burn to any structure, what you can burn (no garbage), when you can burn (sometimes there are bans against open fires etc.)

Nevaeh Amyah Buchanan Feb. 3, 2004-June 4, 2009
last modified June 11. 2009 10:41AM
Nevaeh Amyah Buchanan was born on February 3, 2004 in Monroe, Michigan. She was the beautiful daughter of Jennifer Buchanan and Shane Hinojosa.
Nevaeh had a smile that could warm a room, a personality that could tame the wildest heart, and a love for life that was only second to her love of family. Nevaeh had made her home in Monroe for several years with her maternal grandmother: Sherry Buchanan. She also shared many memories with her mother Jennifer of Monroe; her paternal grandparents: Carla and John Elliotte of Toledo; paternal great grandmother: Joanne Combs; maternal uncle: Michael Buchanan and his Fiancé Kelly Duvall of Newport; great aunts: Diane Lawson of Monroe and Mildred Bores of Kevey, KY; paternal aunts: Danielle Owens and Leslie Umensetter; and great uncles: Arnold Lawson of Monroe and Norman and Cathy Dewilde of Monroe.
Nevaeh was an excellent student. She enjoyed every day at Preschool, and recently had graduated from the Discovery Preschool Program at Cantrick. She could often be found spending time at the playground or hanging out with her new best friend Austin. She thought that she was "hot stuff" while driving her Power Wheels Escalade or riding her scooter. Even at the age of five, Nevaeh enjoyed the sound and look of a motorcycle.
Nevaeh Amyah Buchanan age 5 of Monroe was delivered safely into the arms of her Savior. Her family mourns her loss but she has gained her wings.
Friends may gather from 12:00-8:00pm, Thursday, June 11, 2009 and from 12-8:00pm, Friday, June 12, 2009 at Merkle Funeral Service, 2442 North Monroe Street; (734) 384-5185. Friends may also gather at the Stewart Road Christian Ministries Center, 1199 Stewart Road from 11:00am until a Celebration of Her Life at 12:00pm, Saturday, June 13, 2009. The Rev. Dale Hayford pastor of Crosswalk Community Church of Monroe and the Rev. Sam Luke pastor of the Stewart Road Church will co-officiate. Nevaeh will be whisked to St. Joseph Cemetery, 909 North Monroe Street in a custom motorcycle hearse with a police procession for her final rest.
For those desiring to assist the Buchanan family will funeral expenses, memorial donations are suggested to the Nevaeh Buchanan fund through the Community Foundation of Monroe County.

You're right, Tracygirl, these cases are very draining. I used to not be able to sleep for a long time while Caylee's body had not been found. I used to lay in bed imagining her being out in the elements, cold and rain and felt guilty for being in a warm bed. The best thing we can do is to be advocates for these babies and make sure that justice is done.   ::MonkeyAngel::

More than 600 attend Neveah Buchanan's visitation
by David Grant | The Associated Press
Thursday June 11, 2009, 6:06 PM

DETROIT -- More than 600 people mourning Nevaeh Buchanan's death filed past her closed casket with her favorite stuffed animal, a beagle named Harley, set on top.

They came to the Merkle Funeral Service Thursday to pay their respects to the 5-year-old girl whose body was found last week along the River Raisin in Monroe County, 35 miles south of Detroit.

The phone at the funeral home in Monroe was "ringing off the hook," said office manager Sirena Williams, with people seeking information about funeral services for Nevaeh and offering gifts ranging from food to discounted hotel rooms.

"Strangers off the street have been coming in and donating their time, trying to help the staff, seeing if the family needs anything," Williams said.

Other donations included the use of an $80,000 hearse drawn by a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and provided by another funeral home in nearby Flat Rock.

After a second day of visitation at the funeral home Friday, services for Nevaeh will be held at noon Saturday at Stewart Road Church of God. The Rev. Sam Luke said his sanctuary holds 2,000 people.

"I'm sure it will be an overflow crowd," he said.

The hearse then will carry the body of a girl described by her grandmother as a "tomboy" to St. Joseph Cemetery. The procession will pass Munson Park and a statue of Monroe native Gen. George Custer, two of Nevaeh's favorite places to play.

An anonymous donor has made a significant gift to a memorial fund set up to help pay for Nevaeh's funeral expenses, said Kathleen Russeau, executive director of the Community Foundation of Monroe County. The donor asked that the amount not be disclosed, she said.

Any money left over in the Nevaeh Buchanan Memorial Fund will be used to help establish an endowment to pay funeral expenses for children of indigent families.

The Monroe County sheriff's office said approximately 1,100 tips related to Nevaeh's death have been received. No arrests have been made, although two "persons of interest," George Kennedy, 39, and Roy Smith, 48, are being held in a Jackson prison pending parole revocation hearings for having associated with Jennifer Buchanan, Nevaeh's mother, among other violations.

Nevaeh was reported missing May 24 and her body was discovered June 4. The cause of death has not been determined, the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office said.

Public visitation will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday.

You know tonight I wanted to listen to some quiet and calm music as I drove home from work, so I put in my old Simon and Garfunkel CD. There is a song on there that when I was a very young kid, maybe 5 or 6 would make me cry, it was "the boxer". It reminds me of a time I was separated from my mom, it played on the radio as I was sitting in the back seat and just crying and  for my mommy. I missed her and wanted her there by me. Tonight as I listened to that CD, images of Sandra, Tori, Neveah, and all of the other little children we post about everyday, just flooded my head. I bet these little girls (and boys) cried for their mommy's too and wanted nothing more then just to be held by them and be protected by them. Did these little girls, these tiny, innocent girls cry for their mommy's? I try to imagine being a young child and being taken like they were. I wouldn't have understood what was going on.  If I was being molested or worse (sorry I just can't say the  word) I would have wondered what they hell this person was doing and why were they doing that to me! What these children, these innocent children went through before they died is something that should never even be a possibility.

What kind of person does this to a child? how do they look into the face of a child and hurt them? This world is all screwed up.

Mourners call for justice
There's 'so much sorrow' in Nevaeh's disappearance

BY TAMMY STABLES BATTAGLIA • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • June 12, 2009

 
A small, white casket with a rainbow of flowers covering the closed lid awaits mourners today as they say their final good-byes to 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.
Advertisement

Her favorite stuffed animal, a beagle named Harley, sits atop her casket. To the sides, sitting on pedestals, were her pink and yellow fleece blanket and a play firefighter's hat.

"Nevaeh touched a lot of lives -- probably a lot more after she passed," funeral director Brian Merkle said Thursday on the first day of visitation at Merkle Funeral home, just north of Monroe.

On Saturday, Nevaeh will be laid to rest, with golden-winged angels at each corner of her casket, meant to carry the little girl whose name is "heaven" spelled backward.

Sandra Bond, 40, of Monroe -- a friend of Nevaeh's grandmother, Sherry Buchanan -- could not hold back tears as she watched a video montage of Nevaeh set to music.

"It just ain't right," she said.

The memorial card handed out to mourners lists Nevaeh's date of death as June 4 -- the day two fishermen discovered her body covered with quick-dry cement mix in a hole on the bank of the River Raisin in Raisinville Township.

"So much sorrow," said Ron Vollmer, 55, of Monroe, who put more than 400 miles on his truck searching for Nevaeh, who disappeared May 24. "We need justice."
Tips sought

Monroe County sheriff's officials on Thursday asked for information from anyone who fishes in the area where Nevaeh's body was found along Dixon Road.

Lisa Tibai, 22, of Monroe -- who told investigators this week that she and her fiancé helped tow a car stuck in mud near the edge of the River Raisin -- was relieved Thursday to find out Nevaeh's body was found on the opposite side of the river.

"It has nothing to do with me helping weirdos -- just two kids needing help," she said.

So much for that lead, huh? I guess because they were able to wrap up the Chris Coleman case so quickly I was hoping once they found Nevaeh, this case would be the same. It amazes me that there is nothing coming from LE after all this time.  And yet they don't seem to be keeping the community on alert that there is an evil sicko amongst them.  Go figure -

Seems to me LE has weird ways of doing things, like how they dnt say omg! theres a kiddie killer (and who knows what else he/she has done to her, hopefully not) ya know keep ur kids close (as if not obvious) any ways they are not freaking out, reminds me of how they did with sandra saying she wasnt abducted she was missing as in could b a run away, i am sure they must have good reasons to say and act as they do, which isnt always obvious to the gen public.

I just hope they do know what they are doing!

Sorry about all the concurrent posts! just playing ketchup with all you busy monkeys ::MonkeyConfused:: hehe

I agree with you, they should have some sort of data base that no matter how small of a crime ur DNA be logged.

I have always thought that at birth they should take a DNA sample, they do all the other needle poking! But just to keep in a large data base that could help alot of cases and maybe scare ppl into not commiting as many crimes, it could also benifit the missing ppl cases and such, lil chittlins being kidnapped or IDing bodys all that GOOD stuff as well.

Iknow that this would only work for FUTURE crimes as they would be babies now, but it has to start some where!

I think this is a great start. What would also help if all rape kits were processed, when they are taken. You would be shocked to know how many rape kits are just sitting there years after being taken because of many counties/states running out of funding to process them. So, there is rapists out there on the street running free because there is backlogs of rape kits in some places. Frightening isn't it?

There are currently between 150,000 and 600,000 kits sitting in storage waiting to be processed in the United States.

The tangible explanation of why these kits have never been opened is the same as why Wasilla, Alaska made rape victims pay for their own kits — there’s just not enough people or money to process them all.

But it seems as though there’s another problem undermining their analysis too — that rape is considering a less serious violent crime than others.

There is no excuse for this at all. This country really needs to get priorities straight. All this, and the other back log of evidence not being analyzed, and crime labs being closed.

Task force investigators seek tips in Nevaeh case
By AMBER HUNT • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • June 12, 2009

Monroe County sheriff's investigators are still pushing for area anglers to step forward with information about anyone or anything they've spotted along the River Raisin that might prove linked to the death of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.

In a news release this morning, the abduction task force formed in the wake of the girl's disappearance implored that anyone who has fished in the area where the body was located, or has seen any vehicles or persons at that location, call the tip line.


Task force investigators are sifting through some 1,100 tips. The cause of the girl's death is still pending.


Forensic analysis of evidence found at the grave site is being conducted by the Michigan State Police's crime lab in Northville. No results have been turned over, officials said.


Nevaeh went missing May 24 from outside her Monroe apartment complex. A visitation is under way at Merkle Funeral Service just north of Monroe. The girl is to be buried at noon Saturday.


People with information are asked to call 734-243-7070.

Hi monkeys,

Don't know if anyone caught Oprah's powerful show today regarding pedophiles and the lack of funding to pursue and track these guys.  Please go to Oprah's website where all the links are active, and everything you need is there.

Snipped from Oprah's website today:

http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20090220-tows-adam-walsh-act


Help Get Funding for the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act
Adam Walsh

The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act was passed on July 25, 2006—20 years after Adam Walsh's abduction. The act established a National Sex Offender Registry law, but recent news reports reveal most states will not be in compliance with the law by the upcoming July 2009 deadline.




Act Now!

It's time to bail out our kids. Make your voice heard by imploring your senators and state representatives to comply with Adam's law and give it full funding.


Don't know what to write? Use our sample letter.

To contact your senator: Go to Senate.gov to find contact information for the senators in your state. Search for your senator by name or state by clicking the arrow from either drop-down menu. Contact information will be provided. To send an e-mail, click on Web Form below his or her name. E-mail your letter to make a difference.

To contact your state representative: Go to House.gov and click on Write Your Representative in the upper left-hand corner. Select your state from the drop-down menu, and enter your ZIP code, including the four-digit ZIP code extension. Contact information will be provided. To send an e-mail, click on Send a Message. On the state representative's page, click on E-mail the Congressman/Congresswoman, and e-mail your letter to make a difference. (continued at the above link)

As you can see, Oprah and John Walsh have made it pretty easy for us to let our legislators know that we want these laws funded.

I know we all express our frustration about these sickos running free and hurting our children.  I think it's time to let our legislators know that we put our kids and their protection first. ::MonkeyDance::

Thanks, Monkeys. ::MonkeyAngel::

I think this is an excellent idea. It would, if taken at birth, make the identification of bodies easy, and nab bad guys any time they screw up. The problem is that people have been terrified into believing the government will use the DNA for nefarious purposes. Personally, I have nothing to hide so I see no reason my DNA can not be out floating around.

There are currently between 150,000 and 600,000 kits sitting in storage waiting to be processed in the United States.

The tangible explanation of why these kits have never been opened is the same as why Wasilla, Alaska made rape victims pay for their own kits — there’s just not enough people or money to process them all.

But it seems as though there’s another problem undermining their analysis too — that rape is considering a less serious violent crime than others.
(snip)
There is no excuse for this at all. This country really needs to get priorities straight. All this, and the other back log of evidence not being analyzed, and crime labs being closed.

Not to turn this into a political debate, but why is it the government has money to pay for stuff like welfare, wars and private jets for the president but no money for protecting kids and innocent people. Seems off to me!

I agree with you 100%, however in many of the most recent cases, I have to blame the parents...especially in this case!  First and foremost, they should be the ones protecting their children and I just cant comprehend why they dont!

Funeral for Nevaeh Buchanan to be held Saturday

Associated Press - June 13, 2009 3:04 AM ET

MONROE, Mich. (AP) - A 5-year-old girl whose disappearance brought fear to a community, then brought grief when she was found dead, is being laid to rest.

Funeral services for Nevaeh (nuh-VAY'-uh) Buchanan are scheduled for noon Saturday in Stewart Road Church of God in Monroe, 40 miles south of Detroit.

The Rev. Sam Luke expects an overflow crowd in his church's 2,000-seat sanctuary. Hundreds participated in searches and vigils for Nevaeh after she went missing May 24 from her apartment complex in Monroe. Two fishermen found her body in a hole along the River Raisin on June 4.

No arrests have been made.

From the church, Nevaeh will be taken to a nearby cemetery in a hearse drawn by a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Agreed. But look at the Klass case and others like it. If we had they people in jail or DNA on file would they be solved and prevented. Many times, however, kids are failed by the people that are supposed to protect them - the parents - I just do not have a good solution for stupid . . .  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Bikers to lead Nevaeh funeral procession

BY TAMMY STABLES BATTAGLIA AND AMBER HUNT • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITERS • June 13, 2009

Updated at 12:08 p.m.

The day has come to lay Nevaeh Buchanan to rest.
Advertisement

The funeral for the 5-year-old who made national headlines with her May 24 disappearance was scheduled for noon today.

A Harley-Davidson hearse was parked this morning in front of the Stewart Road Christian Ministries Center in Monroe, which has room for up to 1,500 mourners.

The body of the little girl who loved to play with toy motorcycles was discovered last week in a shallow grave in Monroe County.

Just after 11 a.m., an escort of eight Monroe Police motorcycles led two SUVs into the church parking lot. Nevaeh’s grandmother Sherry Buchanan, mother, Jennifer Buchanan, and father, Shane Hinojosa, got out of the SUVs surrounded by more than 20 friends and family members.

After the service, the procession was to wind through town, past a balloon release at Munson Park, where Nevaeh liked to play, and the statue she admired of George A. Custer sitting atop his life-size horse at the intersection of Monroe and Elm.

After the funeral, dozens of motorcycle enthusiasts have volunteered to lead Nevaeh's procession through a town rocked by grief. No one has been charged in connection with her tragic death.

Hundreds of people paid their respects at visitations Thursday and Friday to mark the end of a tragedy that began when Nevaeh disappeared while playing outside her apartment complex.

On Friday, Monroe County sheriff's investigators said in a news release they still are pushing for area anglers to step forward with information about anyone or anything they've spotted along the River Raisin that might be linked to the death.

Nevaeh had been buried in a fishing spot along the river in Raisinville Township, covered with quick-drying cement.

The abduction task force that formed in the wake of the girl's disappearance is sifting through about 1,100 tips. The cause of the girl's death is still pending.

Forensic analysis of evidence found at the grave site is being conducted by the Michigan State Police's crime lab in Northville. No results have been turned over, officials said.

People with information are asked to call 734-243-7070. http://bit.ly/HLTmv

Hundreds More Say
Good-Bye to Nevaeh

Updated: Friday, 12 Jun 2009, 7:42 PM EDT
Published : Friday, 12 Jun 2009, 7:38 PM EDT

Taryn Asher
MONROE, Mich. - The people of Monroe are still struggling with their great loss. Nevaeh Buchanan will be laid to rest on Saturday. For the second day, hundreds of mourners came to the Merkle Funeral Home to say their final farewells to Nevaeh. At the same time, the investigation into her murder is continuing.

"It was difficult and I knew it was going to be difficult, but seeing the casket and seeing just how small it is, it hits home," said Serena Major. She and her best friend, Kelly Metzger, are two of hundreds who searched for Nevaeh Buchanan days after she disappeared. They felt compelled to say good-bye.

"It was very emotional. They had videos and pictures playing, and you just think of all the things that she won't experience and how somebody could just rob her of that is disgusting," Major said.

"It's not even real. You can't imagine that something happened like this to a poor, innocent, little girl," Metzger said.

They share that same feeling with so many others who came to pay their respects at the funeral home. Some mourners came from as far away as Tennessee, all of them hoping someone will pay for a crime that has devastated this close-knit community.

Authorities are still sifting through close to 1,200 tips and about a thousand interviews and are still trying to figure out if there is a connection to sex offenders George Kennedy and Roy Smith, once persons of interest arrested on parole violations.

It's clear no one will come to gripes with Nevaeh's death until her killer is caught.

"I just hope whoever did this, they pay for what they did to her because they deserve the worst," said Jennifer Blanchett.

We're told the key to solving this crime may lie in the evidence collected at the scene where Nevaeh was found. Police are still waiting for DNA test results to come back. Meantime, Neveah will be laid to rest on Saturday at noon at Stewart Road Christian Ministries in Monroe.

Family, Friends Mourn at Funeral for Nevaeh

Last Update: 4:20 pm
MONROE, Mich. (AP) - Mourners gathered Saturday for the funeral of a 5-year-old Monroe girl whose disappearance brought fear to a community, then delivered grief when she was found dead.

Hundreds of people attended funeral services for Nevaeh Buchanan in Stewart Road Church of God in Monroe, 40 miles south of Detroit.

"That one little girl was so powerful, she brought the community together," said Dale Hayford, senior pastor of Crosswalk Community Church of Monroe, who along with the Rev. Sam Luke officiated at the service.

A slideshow with pictures from Nevaeh's life ran on two large screens during the service.

"Seeing a lot of the pictures from birth until she passed, it hits home," said 34-year-old Tracey Addington of Dundee, who attended the funeral and helped search for Nevaeh. " ... If you have anyone who is around that age, it's overwhelming."

Three members of VASS Majority, a local music group, performed a song written for Nevaeh with a chorus that concluded: "Because of her, we won't be the same."

"Nevaeh became every parent's or grandparent's 5-year-old," Monroe Mayor Mark Worrell told The Associated Press by phone after attending service.

Over a thousand people paid their respects to the little girl whose first name is "heaven" spelled backward during her two days of visitation Thursday and Friday.

After the funeral service that lasted just over 2 hours, family members climbed into awaiting vehicles and were escorted to nearby St. Joseph Cemetery by a hearse drawn by a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The procession included more than 100 vehicles and 60 motorcycles, paying tribute to the girl who counted a miniature motorcycle among her favorite toys.

Nevaeh disappeared from her Monroe apartment complex May 24. Hundreds of people took part in searches and vigils. Two fisherman found her body June 4 along the River Raisin in Monroe County's Raisinville Township, 35 miles south of Detroit. Cement was found on top of the body, which appeared to be buried in a shallow grave.

During the search for Nevaeh, Lori Rafter, 47, of Monroe, tied six yellow ribbons and a single white flower to her Ford Focus, signifying her hope that the girl would be found.

"Even though we found her, I couldn't bring myself to cut them off," said Rafter, who attended the funeral. "It's going to take a little bit of time for me to do that. But she'll always be in the community's heart. She's Monroe's little angel."

A task force formed to investigate Nevaeh's death has received about 1,200 tips, but no arrests have been made. The cause of death has not been determined. The task force has asked anglers to report any persons or vehicles they might have seen in the area of the river where her body was located.

Two "persons of interest" in the case await parole revocation hearings for having associated with Jennifer Buchanan, Nevaeh's mother, among other violations. The two men, George Kennedy, 39, and Roy Smith, 48, are being held in a Jackson prison. Kennedy had been a friend of Jennifer Buchanan, herself a convicted felon.

A memorial fund was established to pay for Nevaeh's funeral expenses. Money remaining in the fund will be used to help establish an endowment to pay funeral expenses for children of indigent families.

Here is the full poem:

   No Fear in Heaven
   © 2009, Ferna Lary Mills
   

There are so many things in life that we can't understand,
like why a tragedy like this can happen in this land.
One moment life is perfect and the next it falls apart,
leaving us with nothing but an eternally aching heart.

Our souls cry out in agony amidst the suffering and despair.
We feel the pain and tear our clothes and scream "It isn't fair!".
Spirits are now shattered. Hearts will never be the same.
We grasp at straws and seek to find the one who is to blame.

Horrific as our life now seems, one thing remains quite true.
Our little ones have now been freed to do things angels do.
They can't recall the horrors of those last days they were here.
They remember not the terror, the hurt, nor the fear.

There is no fear in Heaven. No more sorrow. Only Joy.
It's filled with joyous laughter from each little girl and boy.
We can only try to imagine, in spite of all earthly wrongs,
our little angels are learning the words to the Angel's songs.

Amidst the children's laughter and their Heavenly play,
there's also more important work going on there today.
Jesus is building mansions, never taking time to sleep,
for Reunions are being planned, yes, even as we weep.

The children gather around Him and listen to Him speak,
for He has all the answers that they curiously seek.
He tells them for a time, in Heaven, they must wait,
and then they can meet us at Heaven's pearly gate.

Hello everyone
I am new here and I have been watching your post for sometime waiting to get approved to come in here. I live in Michigan and I know what it is like to loose a child to a kidnapper and a murder. My little cousin was kidnapped and murdered by a sex offender 12 years ago and I was on a search team for 2 years. My cousins body was never discovered until 5 years later by a hunter walking in a field way across the state from where she lived. We had to wait 5 years to bury her. My deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of Nevaeh and I hope that her killer is found soon. For us it was easy to find my cousins killer. We found him 3 days after she was abducted and he admitted to it later. I guess it is harder when you don't know who did it. The fear of the unknow is worse. I know that Nevaeh is in the place that spells her name backwords and she is in the arm of God that gave her as a gift to her earthly parents. God forbid who took that childs young life. I loved that poem that was read at her funeral, that was so fitting for this day of sadness. Believe me the little things like that do help. I am also letting you all know that in earlier post it was written to write to our congress and just as I did for my cousin I will do again for Nevaeh, I will write and they will hear me. Thank You Mom of 7 beautiful children

Thank You No rose, I have been watching everyones post and I wish that this was around 12 years ago. This is so great that you all are writing about all the missing children because they shall not be forgotten. Once the excitement goes away from a child missing case then people tend to forget about it. That was my whole fight for my cousin and that is why I went to Lansing to lobby to get some laws passed against sex offenders and why they can so easily get to our kids. I think that the person that wrote the letter to the congress is on the right track. I don't really know if Nevaeh was taken by a sex offender but a sex offender was involved with the mom right?

Welcome Mommy! Yes, her mom was involved with a sex offender and was aware that he was one. ::shakes head::

I am sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Us monkeys work hard at making sure none of the missing children and adults are ever forgotten. There are many that work on matching John and Jane Does that have been found to missing persons so loved ones will have that answer they have been seeking for months and years.

There are a lot of laws on the books, The Adam Walsh Child Safety Act was passed but is not going to be enforced in most states because of lack of funding. Which is so wrong. Our children can't be put on a back burner any longer. They need to enforce and fund the laws that are out there to protect and they need to make even stricter laws when it comes to sex offenders and protecting our children. Jail sentences need to be longer and no deals, no early parole, GPS monitoring for at least 5 years or longer if deemed necessary. Just a start. imo

Nevaeh is in heaven.
That’s the message clergy left with family, friends and hundreds of others who attended funeral services Saturday for Nevaeh Buchanan, the 5-year-old Monroe girl whose disappearance May 24 launched a community search that ended with the discovery of her body buried and covered in concrete along the River Raisin’s banks.
Mourners filed past the shiny white casket leaving thumbprints and flowers on it as they said their final goodbyes at a gravesite shaded by a grove of maple trees in the children’s section at St. Joseph Cemetery.
“As we commit her body in these beautiful surroundings, her spirit is in the presence of the Lord,” said Rev. Sam Luke of the Stewart Road Christian Ministries Center, where earlier nearly 700 filled the church to hear eulogies, songs and poems memorializing the little girl, who name is “heaven” spelled backwards.
Family members had filled the first few rows of the church, consoling one another and dabbing away tears during the service.
A cause of death hasn’t been determined and police say no results from analysis of evidence submitted to the Michigan State Police crime lab has been received yet. But about 1,200 tips are being processed by a multi-agency task force.
Two fishermen discovered the body June 4 covered with concrete at a makeshift fishing site in Raisinville Township, about 8 miles from the Monroe apartment complex where the girl last was seen.
A funeral procession led by motorcycle hearse and about 100 other bikers from Michigan and Ohio wended its way around the Monroe area, passing Munson Park, said to be one of Nevaeh’s favorite places, and the downtown statue of Gen. George Armstrong Custer. She was said to have been interested in Custer, who lived in Monroe.
Wayne Owens of Wayne, a member of the Motown HOG Chapter, said the bikers spread the word about Nevaeh online, via phone calls, and word of mouth. “We heard she liked motorcycles and that’s why we’re here,” he said. “We’re here because we care.”
Along the funeral route, people paused in their routines to pay respects, doffing hats, pausing in their yard work, covering their hearts with their hands, or simply standing by the roadside out of respect. “Goodbye, Nevaeh” said a hand-made sign sitting near a motorcycle parked near the Bates Lane roadside. Those attending a graduation party along the route paused to watch the motorcade pass.
At Munson Park, hundreds of multicolored helium-filled balloons were released as the procession passed.
During the earlier church service, Rev. Dale Hayford of Crosswalk Community Church, who helped organize search parties for the girl, said Nevaeh touched lives and brought people together. “This town was brought together by one little girl who was very powerful,” he said. “I have never known a person ever before who has touched so many people in the State of Michigan.
He assured those attending the funeral that Nevaeh is in Heaven. “What was it like when Nevaeh came to Heaven? I believe because of what she has gone through, Jesus met her at the gate,” he said.
He prayed to God to “let the healing begin. Let us wake up Lord. This should never have happened.”
During the service, those attending exchanged hugs or dabbed away tears. Even some members of the choir dabbed their eyes or sobbed at times as a photo montage of Nevaeh was projected on the church’s two big projection screens on each side of the altar.
The photos were of Nevaeh as an infant, a toddler, with stuffed animals, hugging relatives, graduating from pre-school and at play. Her casket in front of the altar was laden with flowers. A large photo stood on an easel to the left. An etched stone was among the items, saying “When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.”
Nevaeh’s uncle, Michael Buchanan, tearfully read “No Fear in Heaven,” a poem written for those who have suffered the tragic loss of a child. In part, it says, “Our little ones have now been freed to do things angels do. They can’t recall the horrors of those last days they were here. They remember not the terror, the hurt, nor the fear. There is no fear in Heaven. No more sorrow. Only joy. It’s filled with joyous laughter from each little girl and boy. We can only try to imagine, in spite of all earthly wrongs, our little angels are learning the words to the Angel’s songs.”
Rev. Luke said Nevaeh no longer is missing. “Without a doubt, I know Nevaeh is in the presence of the Lord and she made it home safely to Heaven,” he said. “We haven’t lost Nevaeh. She’s in the arms of her savior.”
He also said he was deeply affected by the girl’s disappearance after visiting the family’s apartment and seeing an electric Barbie car, much like his own daughter had as a child. “Immediately, Nevaeh became our daughter. Nevaeh became everybody’s daughter and everybody’s granddaughter,” he said.
“I pray that every mom and dad, sometime after today, we would hold our children a little closer,” he added.
Mourners came from the community and from long distances.
Mistee Parker of Newport was among hundreds who formed impromptu search parties for the girl, though she didn’t know the family. “It was a beautiful service for a beautiful girl,” she said after the funeral. “I hope it gave the family some comfort.”
Jose and Shawna Cooper of Monroe, friends of Nevaeh’s mother Jennifer, also said it was a wonderful service for the little girl.
“It was a beautiful funeral,” Mrs. Cooper said. The Coopers had decorated their Dodge minivan with a sign that said “Rest in Peace Nevaeh. Monroe’s angel.”
The couple had participated in many searches for the girl, including one that lasted 13½ hours. The discovery of her body “was a relief, but it was very sad, too,” Mr. Cooper said.
They were among more than 100 vehicles in the funeral procession that traveled to the gravesite.
Both Rev. Hayford and Rev. Luke offered more prayers and Brian Merkle of Merkle Funeral Service had children related to Nevaeh help open a small square basket containing a single white dove, which he said would be symbolic of Nevaeh’s spirit returning home. Mr. Merkle released the dove, it fluttered into the overcast sky, and disappeared on the horizon.

Thank You everyone for your wonderful welcomes. It makes me feel good that there are forums and sites like this one, that we can come in and talk to you. Especially people like me who know someone that has died in such a horrible way. Neveah's family has a long way to go. This is just the beginning for them. First they have to go through all the stages of greiving and that is not easy, believe me. Then they have to go through the emotions when some one is caught for this dispicable crime. Then there is the trail. Who knows how long all of this will take, it could take days, weeks or even years, like it did for us. I am telling you 5 years is a long time to find out that your loved one is officially dead. My aunt and uncle suffered greatly to the point that my uncle started drinking and about 2 years after my cousins body was found he was killed in a motorcycle accident and left my aunt and baby cousin alone. This tragedy take a toll on the whole family, the aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and beyond and some people just are not strong enough to handle it. That is why John Walsh is my inspiration and that is why I wrote and walked into Lansing State capital and made sure that the Sex Offender Registry was brought into Michigan. Over here in West Michigan we have had many tragedies, In 1997 Rachel Timmermen and her sweet little baby girl Shannon VerHey Went missing on June 3 and the person responsible for her was a very bad man Marvin Gabrion who is now on Death Row in Indiana because they found Rachel's body in a lake in a national forest and that made her crime a federal one because of where she was found and possibly killed. Shannon was never found. When Rachel's body was first found the search teams for My cousin feared it was Andre, but it was another girl. My feelings are I wish that our state could at least have the death penalty for very serious crimes only like sex offenders that kill children, because in my book they cannot be cured. I knew a man that was found to be a sex offender back in 1980 and he is still doing it and the cops can't catch him because he moves from state to state and Michigan is just waiting for him to show his face so that they can get him. The thing that makes me really angry is he is not on the Sex offender registry because his crimes in Michigan were in the 80s and early 90s, but his other crimes are out side the state and he still does not show up on any of them, so the next time he finds a child no one is going to know what he is. Any way thank everyone for letting me vent a little and I am praying for Nevaeh's family that they find some closer soon and that this does not last for years for them.::MonkeyCool::

Hi again
I also wanted you let you all know that I did send an email and letter to both Senators Debbbie Stabanow and Carl Levin and if they do not respond I can try to go down to Lansing again and see what is on the ballot for The Adam Walsh Child Protection Act and see how much I can do. I also wanted to let you all know that my cousin's name was Andre Bosse born 11/11/1986 died 6/18/1997 one day after she was abducted. I was going to college at that time to become a nurse, but after Andre went missing spent most of my time searching for her for two years. When Andre's body was found in 2002, I decided to go back to school in 2004 to change my schooling from nurse to Criminal Justice. I graduated with my Associate degree for Criminal Justice and Applied Science in 2008 and I am now in the Bachlors Program for Criminal Justice and special sciences and I am doing my internship at the Michigan State Crime Lab. My children are mostly grown now with my youngest age 16. I have 3 girls and 4 boys. My 3 girls are all in college. One is in Criminal Justice with me, one is in Bussiness and the other is in Intieror Design. My 4 boys are doing well too. My one son owns a resturant and two of my other sons work for him and the youngest is in a junior in high school. One of my older sons that works for his brother is also in college to be a 3D Animator and Game designer like his father. 3 of my older kids were on search teams in 1997 to help find their cousin. Back then they were very young in there early teens. I was very proud of them and they are now proud of me for what I am doing to help kids like Andre, Adam, Caylee, Megan, Amber, Sandra,Nevaeh and all the others out there crying for us to help them, and that is my mission. I made Andre a promise that I would fight to help bring these preditors to justice and that is what I intend to do. I guess it helps the pain when you know you are doing something productive, you know. ::MonkeyAngel::

Hi everyone
I have wrote to Governor Granholm, Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin in regards to the Adam Walsh Child Protection Safety Act. Hopefully this will help. I hope that everyone is having a good day. I also saw on tv that 3 children were abducted by their father and there was an Amber Alert but they have been located and the father has been arrested. ::MonkeyCool::

Investigators await test results, seek tips in Nevaeh case
BY TAMMY STABLES BATTAGLIA • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • June 15, 2009

Investigators in Monroe are still waiting for test results from evidence recovered at the gravesite of murdered 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement today that investigators are also reviewing more than 1,200 tips about Nevaeh, who disappeared while riding her scooter at a Monroe apartment complex May 24.


The department continues to request tips from anyone who has fished along Dixon Road in Raisinville Township, where two men fishing found her body under fast-drying concrete June 4. The little girl was buried Saturday in Monroe after hundreds turned out for her funeral.

The Michigan State Police Crime Laboratory in Northville is analyzing the evidence found, trying to determine how Nevaeh died and who killed her.


Anyone with information is asked to call 734-243-7070.

Search for Nevaeh's killer continues

By Amulya Raghuveer
Monday, June 15, 2009 at 12:21 p.m.


MONROE, MICH. -- Police in Monroe are still searching for who killed 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office says they have had over 1,200 tips pour in regarding the case of the missing 5-year-old Monroe County girl whose body was found in a shallow grave along the River Raisin in early June.   Nevaeh went missing from in front of the Charlotte Arms Apartment Complex May 24.

Police say several leads have been developed from tips they have received; however, they still ask that anyone who may have fished the area of the River Raisin where Nevaeh's body was found please contact them with any information they may have.  Investigators are seeking any vehicles or people who may have been in the area.

Nevaeh was laid to rest over the weekend.  Friends and family gathered at the Stewart Road Christian Ministries Center on Saturday for a Celebration of Life service in honor of Nevaeh.  Mourners lined the streets of Monroe as the girl's body was driven by a hearse to St. Joseph Cemetery for burial.  Balloons were seen lifting to the air during the procession.

Authorities say they have yet to receive lab test results from evidence gathered at the crime scene.

If you have any information to offer investigators please call the Task Force Top Line at 734-243-7070.

Hi everyone

 I have been lurking on here for awhile reading everyones posts but my membership just got accepted yesterday so i can finally post. i also apologize if i repeat anything that's already been said, mommy of 7, i am so sorry for your loss and cannot even imagine the pain and outrage that your family must feel..

firstly, i believe that le has a pretty good idea who did this and are just waiting for test results. i think they want to make sure they have an airtight case. it seems to me that they arent really putting the community on high alert as they might if they have no clue who the perp is.  i work for child protective services and just had a child death case in which the police and detectives had to wait 2 weeks after the child died to arrest the step father because they had to wait on the autopsy even tho the consensus between everyone involved was that this step dad def did it...  I think JB did this, statistically it was her or someone close to nevaeh...if the cops really thought this was a stranger abduction i think it would be much more obvious in the way they answer questions in the press conferences. i think jb  had jealous feelings towards her mother b/c nevaeh looked at maternal grandmom as her "mom" and jb just couldn't take it anymore, i think she purposely killed her and we have another Casey Anthony on our hands... I know there are also theories that the mom lost control and killed her, however i believe that if this was not premeditated, there would have been injuries like a high neck break (from being violently shaken) or injuries to the head area.  i unfortunately think that mom planned this out.  her multiple stories and discrepencies are just downright disturbing. If you tell the truth and have nothing to hide then you dont have to try to remember all the lies you told and get urself confused, which is whats happening with jennifer. (if jennifer isnt the perp, then the only other explanation i can come up with for her behavior and lies is that she was probobaly high and cant remember the exact events of the day)

i think jb may have threatened to blackmail george smith or george kennedy if they didnt try to help her hide the body.  i'm sure she has enough info on both of them that would have sent them back to jail (which ended up happening anyway) i just think they didnt bank on being picked up on this crime. 

this case is so frustrating, i find myself checking several times a day to see if there are any updates..i hope and pray that nevaeh gets the justice she deserves.  the pain and fear that her precious little soul had to endure in her final moments makes me physically ill. i will continue to pray for her everyday and pray that swift justice ensues.

i feel like the cops will be grilling jb this week until they get her to crack and either confess, or give them more information pointing elsewhere...

if for some reason she is not charged with murder, or being an accessory to murder, this woman needs to be charged with child endangerment, and reckless endangerment in the very least. it makes me sick the terrible situations people put their children in. i cannot tell you how many abuse cases i see where the perp is the boyfriend, it makes me sick. ugh.

If they thought for a moment there was a child killer that was roaming the streets and would strike again, you would here a different tone, and they would be warning the public to be aware, I have not heard that from LE.

Welcome Sunshine!  Not to chime in with a "me too" post, but "me too." LE has done a fantastic job here. Best if all, they're playing their cards close to the vest.  They'd be quite foolish to do anything before all evidence has been processed. Sunshine, I think you're dead on with your theory. Of course, we don't know all the facts. But what we do know fits the "Susan Smith" or "Casey Anthony" mold.

Good Night all.

Frustrated residents in fear

Published : Monday, 15 Jun 2009, 10:24 PM EDT * Sharia Davis

MONROE, Mich. - Those living in and around the Charlotte Arms apartment complex, where 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan was last seen May 24, are frustrated and are seeking justice for the person or persons who are responsible for her death.

"I think things will get back to normal once we find out who did it," said Betty Morris. "All I know there's a lot of fear in this community."

Hey Sunshine welcome and I am new here as well and like what all of these nice people have to say. What you just said is totally what I have been thinking all along, but with out all the evidence I didn't want to say anything to soon. I think that JB participated in the death of Nevaeh or acted alone in this. whether it was by accident because she wet her pants or if it was planned I don't know. Try to imagine living in a home with your mom at age 24 years old and you have a beautiful 5 year old daughter and you don't have custody of her or say what happens with her welfare or at least don't have all the say. The jelousy can become a very big monster. She may be upset that George Kennedy is with another woman and is hurt that he is not with her anymore. Something happens while punishing Neveah and she cannot be blamed for what happen to her and she calls George and tells him to help hide Nevaeh's body by threatning George because of his record and he does not want to go back to jail for having anything to do with JB and Nevaeh so he trys to hide all evidence and George and girlfriend, or Roy, the other ROS try to get rid of all evidence for JB so she does not expose the fact that he was around a child. Once he was found out that he was around Nevaeh and the police get him he knows that he is done but they say he is in trouble for going against his parole and he doesn't even fight the hearing but wants to be sent back to prison because he knows there is know way out of this. There is a lot of evidence against GK but listening to JB talk and talk to the radio station and Nancy Grace the more I know she had something to do with this. Who else saw Nevaeh outside besides the little girl that came and told JB that she was in the road. Did she go back out and get Nevaeh and punish her for being in the road. I don't know there is so many things that lead up to JB. JB says that there are so many senerios going on in her head, but my senerios only have two ways with all the evidence we know.

OK, someone has to break the ice and say it, who paid for those hideous foo foo hairdos JB and her mother had for the funeral.   Bologna curls, seriously?  ::MonkeyNoNo::

A case of a mother agreeing to cover up the killing of a innocent 9 month old baby  whom faked a kidnapping, crying & screaming in pressers just had me over the edge & Im not inclined to be changing my mind that JB has something to do with Neveah's murder and/or coverup.   Neveah's service & procession was very generous by the public, it pained me to see this poor excuse of a mother walking behind the casket, she belongs in jail for the direct danger she put Neveah in to say the least.

[my comments: ~ Even if it turns out that Kennedy had nothing to do with Nevaeh's death, just the fact that he was free to roam the streets makes me sick to my stomach. The probation department supervisor and anyone else that let him free to roam around (and possible hurt another child) after repeatedly violating his parole, should be fired or forced to resign.
  ~ I think Nevaeh's mom and any mom that willingly and knowingly lets their child be around a known child sex offender, should be subject to neglect or child endangerment charges, just for letting them be around AND if that child is molested or murdered because mom knowingly let their child be around such a monster, they should be charged with conspiracy to commit child molestation or conspiracy to murder. The moms didn't actually molest or murder their child, they just offered them up to a monster who would. They deserve to be punished for their stupidity and irresponsibility.

P.S. Why does Vernon Davis sound familiar? Has he been mentioned before? ]

I agree...I hope that if Kennedy is guilty in any of this that the people who did not send him back to prison will feel guilt and remorse for the rest of their life!

JB is so guilty in this too...by even having her daughter in this environment...Nevaeh had no choice in who her mother chooses to hang around with...

I also feel bad for the police and detectives who go to all the trouble of getting an arrest for these sex offenders and then a judge gives them a light sentence...it has to be frustrating for them ....as well as us, the public who see these offenders back on the streets after a short jail time, only to reoffend...let the pot smokers out of jail and keep these creeps in!

I heard on HLN yesterday a SO had raped and sodomized a 4 yr old girl and he got 1 fricking yr in jail!  I assume he probably will be out in 4-5 months for "good" behavior! then will rape again since they get such a light sentence...just a  vacation for them being in jail for that amount of time...no work...3 squares a day, roof over there heads..then after they rest up, go find some more prey in our innocent little children..Meanwhile the child who was raped has a life sentence of fear and horror reliving what happened to them...Something wrong with this picture? ::MonkeyConfused::

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I agree...I hope that if Kennedy is guilty in any of this that the people who did not send him back to prison will feel guilt and remorse for the rest of their life!

JB is so guilty in this too...by even having her daughter in this environment...Nevaeh had no choice in who her mother chooses to hang around with...

I also feel bad for the police and detectives who go to all the trouble of getting an arrest for these sex offenders and then a judge gives them a light sentence...it has to be frustrating for them ....as well as us, the public who see these offenders back on the streets after a short jail time, only to reoffend...let the pot smokers out of jail and keep these creeps in!

I heard on HLN yesterday a SO had raped and sodomized a 4 yr old girl and he got 1 fricking yr in jail!  I assume he probably will be out in 4-5 months for "good" behavior! then will rape again since they get such a light sentence...just a  vacation for them being in jail for that amount of time...no work...3 squares a day, roof over there heads..then after they rest up, go find some more prey in our innocent little children..Meanwhile the child who was raped has a life sentence of fear and horror reliving what happened to them...Something wrong with this picture? ::MonkeyConfused::

OK, someone has to break the ice and say it, who paid for those hideous foo foo hairdos JB and her mother had for the funeral.   Bologna curls, seriously?  ::MonkeyNoNo::

A case of a mother agreeing to cover up the killing of a innocent 9 month old baby  whom faked a kidnapping, crying & screaming in pressers just had me over the edge & Im not inclined to be changing my mind that JB has something to do with Neveah's murder and/or coverup.   Neveah's service & procession was very generous by the public, it pained me to see this poor excuse of a mother walking behind the casket, she belongs in jail for the direct danger she put Neveah in to say the least.


i agree, she belongs in jail on the very least endangerment charges..

i think that as sick as it is, jb saw nevaeh as not only a burden, but jb was hurt and destroyed by the fact that nevaeh was more attached to grandmom than her, i think that this, combined with what im gonna guess could be a dual diagnoses mental health problem (emotional issues and severe substance abuse) was a recipe for disaster.  i think if jb did this, she honestly thought she was going to get away with it, who knows, maybe she saw casey anthony on tv and fantasized about doing the same thing to nevaeh.  if jb didn't kill nevaeh i dont think she is owed any apology from anyone putting the spotlight on her. her lifestyle and complete disregard for the welfare of her child makes my blood boil. 

then on the news last night, seeing the 9 month old whos mom killed her and tried to fake the abduction in california...it's sickening, this mom also lived with the maternal grandparents and the child and as they discussed on hln last night, this can cause some mother's to feel inadequate and jealous, not that thats any excuse but it could be part of these sick twisted mothers justification for their crimes.. ( i will not call them mommy's because i believe a mommy would never hurt their child or knowingly put their child in harms way mommy)

i hope i didnt offend anyone with some of the words i used in this post or my angry tone, this just makes me so upset..ugh.. god bless all of the angels we have lost to these heinous crimes against children

i agree completely, sometimes i feel like i shouldn't waste my breath because its very rare that changes to the system will occur.  people are resistant to change, and our current system is so engrained in those running things that change will never happen overnight, and might not happen ever.  i work in the child welfare system and i see time and time again how the ball is dropped in cases because there just "isnt enough" evidence that the parents are doing something wrong, or hte abuse or neglect doesnt rise to the level of high risk, or that the child is at 'imminent risk' and then something terrible happpens, i wonder why we have to wait until it gets to that point to take real action (yes i need a new job because i have so many issues with the child welfare system). the child welfare system is designed to protect the parents rights in my opinion, just as i feel the criminal justice system is designed to protect the criminals, not the victims.

i have another thought...do you guys remember the mom from new mexico who killed her young son and buried him in sand in the playground, i think there could be some psychological similarities between that and burying a child under a layer of cement next to a river where its possible the perp(s) frequented and maybe even little nevaeh had been fishing there before and liked it..

WELCOME, and yes the mom in Albuquerque and burying him in the sand, I agree with you there, it is hard for me to believe some random person did this. I will be surprised if Nevaeh's mom didn't have something to do with this. Nevaeh was buried by a beautiful spot on that river, I saw pics from a local on another site, and it was peaceful and calm. Some random person, imo, would not have bothered to do that.

Remember the fake "scam" page awhile back, asking people to send donations to cantgetmeoff@yahoo.com or something like that? Well someone at WS sent a $1.00 paypal payment just to see who the payment went to and I am guessing from all posts, that the paypal was registered to Vernon Davis. They took screen shots and called LE with the information. I was at WS when it was being talked about, that's why I remember the name. They went back and edited a lot of the information in case the scammer was reading.
Here is the thread: pages 14-18 or so, it's hard to follow but you can see it being talked about.,

Good morning Capp & fellow monkeys -

Capp - your comment totally cracked me up! I realize that in all seriousness it is not a laughing matter at all, but I had the same reaction when I saw the pics - but was afraid to say anything 'out loud' - LOL. Give me a break - ..."the dedicated mom & gramma, typically looking like aged burned-out white trash, had their hair done especially for the occasion by Guido, Monroe's hottest stylist. The funeral of their murdered daughter/grand daughter was, after all, a special event for them, and it was important that they looked spiffy & felt extra special . . . "

Sorry for the redneck red-carpet commentary - couldn't help myself. But CAPP STARTED IT! (grinning!) Thought we needed a little tension reliever. You can hurl nanners now. (Hope I don't get expelled - eek.)

here is a clip from the Detroit News concerning Vernon Davis

:According to neighbors, FBI agents have twice visited the Monroe home of Vernon Davis, a 33-year-old man who was convicted in May 2007 of having sex with a minor younger than 16. Davis served no prison time for the offense, records show.

The Michigan Sex Offender Registry reports that Davis' home address is an apartment complex on Bacon near downtown Monroe. But his neighbor, 24-year-old Katherine Taormina, said Davis is never there. She said FBI agents questioned her about Davis after Nevaeh was reported missing.

"They came by here twice," Taormina said. "They asked if I'd seen him. They told us they were trying to get information about where he was when the girl disappeared. I told them I know he's supposed to be living here, but he never comes here. He usually stays down in Toledo."

Go get 'em citizens of Oklahoma:

Plea deal for Okla. child rapist prompts outrage

Lawmakers are calling for removal of the judge who approved the deal

AP
Two state lawmakers are questioning a plea agreement that will allow David Harold Earls, shown in a 2003 photo, to serve only one year in jail on a conviction for raping a 4-year-old girl.

updated 9:33 p.m. ET, Tues., June 16, 2009

OKLAHOMA CITY - A plea deal that sent an ex-convict accused of raping a 4-year-old girl to jail for only a year has prompted outrage across Oklahoma, where lawmakers are calling for the removal of the judge who approved the deal and the attorney general is investigating a new set of abuse allegations.

Under the deal, David Harold Earls, 64, of the southeastern Oklahoma town of McAlester, pleaded no contest last month to first-degree rape and forcible sodomy. Normally, the rape charge carries a sentence of between five years to life in prison, but the deal he struck with prosecutors called for 19 years of his 20-year sentence to be suspended.

Residents have since peppered the local newspaper with e-mails and letters questioning why the sentence wasn't harsher.

"I think they should have dropped the hammer on him," said Chris Lenardo, 35, who works at a local barber shop in McAlester, a town of about 18,000 people about 120 miles southwest of Oklahoma City. "I'm still trying to figure out why he's only getting a year."

Testimony of girl had problems

Prosecutors said they only agreed to the plea bargain because the case rested largely on the testimony of the girl, now 5, who made contradictory statements during pretrial hearings. After initially testifying about the assault, she later said she couldn't remember the rape. At one point, the girl ran out of the room and down the hallway.

The case has generated more outrage as new accusations have surfaced. After Earls entered his plea, an estranged relative came forward to make a new allegation of a past rape. Although the statute of limitations likely has expired, it's possible the allegations could be used in another case against Earls if another victim comes forward, Attorney General Drew Edmondson said.

Edmondson said his office is looking at reviving a case against Earls involving the girl's brother. Those charges were dropped when the 5-year-old boy changed his story and said he couldn't recall the incident.

Such problems involving testimony from children in criminal cases aren't unusual, said Barbara Bonner, director of the Center on Child Abuse and Neglect at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.

"Obviously, the criminal justice system wasn't set up to pit a 4- or 5-year-old child against an adult," Bonner said. "Particularly in cases of young children, they have very high levels of anxiety associated with the abuse. They'll do anything to avoid talking about it."

Several state lawmakers want an investigation into the actions of Pittsburg County District Judge Thomas Bartheld, who signed off on the plea deal. The Oklahoma Legislature doesn't have the power to remove a judge, but lawmakers have introduced a resolution asking that a legal process be started in which a judge can be removed by a special state court.

"My general concern is: Are the courts protecting the children?" said Rep. Mike Ritze, R-Broken Arrow. "You have a convicted felon you're looking at. You've got a (family member) that's come forward and said she was raped by him. You've got the public outcry."

Judge says he followed the law
Bartheld did not return a telephone message left Tuesday at his office, but has previously said he followed the law.

Earls previously served nearly 10 years in prison for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and was released in 2006. He was baby-sitting the two children while their mother worked a second job, but Miller said the relationship between Earls and the mother is unclear.

A telephone message left Tuesday with Earls' attorney, Tim Mills, was not returned. He had previously told The Oklahoman newspaper he thought prosecutors didn't want to risk an acquittal.

District Attorney Jim Bob Miller said Tuesday the plea deal was both necessary and accepted with the approval of the girl's family. A medical examination of the girl found evidence of a sexual assault, but no DNA evidence tying Earls to the crime.

"If the little girl freezes on the stand, we literally have nothing," Miller said. "We don't have any doubt that he did this, but the problem was proving it in court."

I could not agree more, Jess. And Rosie - I too find myself at a loss for words any more.

The viral spread of narcissism in our culture today has reached such epidemic proportions that it has clearly even permeated maternal judgement - which used to seem to be generally more of an instinct with mothers for their children. In our ME ME ME world of entitlement, so many 'parents' are putting their personal needs/wants even before the well being of thier children. It is frightening & sickening - and the consequences are being played out here right before our eyes on a regular basis.

What can we as concerned citizens & parents do to try to squelch the growth of this type of behavior in our country? What can we do to help educate the population? With so many wonderful and concerned monkeys pulling together, maybe we could come up with something to help? Or is it all futile because of rampant drug use? I just don't know . . . Big Heavy Sigh.

. . . But I do know that I would wholeheartedly get involved if we could come up with something . . . any ideas?

Oh - and by the way - - -

My profuse apologies if my post yesterday filled with sarcastic silliness re: JB & SB's special funeral hairdos offended anyone. Was not my intention at all to 'kick someone when they are down' - especially in their time of grief. My true character is completely the opposite of that; I am the big giant softy who will help just about anyone in need (as I am guessing are so many of us here). As with our discussion above of unbelievably poor parenting, I just feel so strongly that people like JB and SB have so very much to answer to regarding their culpibility in what happened to an innocent child who was in their care. Just so very very tired of regularly hearing of the inexcusable situations these caregivers are putting children in. Thus my use of sarcasm and low level of sympathy for them. Sorry.

I enjoy tremendously being a part of this wonderful group of kind hearted friends. Thanks for letting me be a part of the monkey cage.

We need to think very creatively because you can't legislate against stupidity.  I know I've been saying this for awhile now, but I have several ideas.  I've been spending a lot of personal time on this, have been discussing many of my ideas with local focus groups, and have been getting very positive feedback.  I'm just reluctant to post anything publicly just yet.  The "naysayers" like the ideas, but then state "Good luck, you'll never get that passed" or something of that nature.  But I'm willing to try.  It all begins with numbers, though.  We need to mobilize mobilize mobilize as many people from as many different states as possible.  We won't make any progress with a trickle.  I am genuinely interested in knowing just how many people we can commit to the cause-- commit meaning they would be willing to sign their name on the dotted line of a petition or a piece of proposed legislation, take a trip to DC, meet in a focus group, and so forth.

Can I gauge everyone's interest in that?  If I were to put together a short pamphlet that summarizes the dangers facing our nation's kids, and the inadequacy of our current legal system to deal with those dangers, would you commit to using it to solicit support by emailing it or, better yet, printing it out and handing it to, coworkers, friends, relatives, neighbors, and so forth? 

I don't doubt for one minute that everyone's heart is in the right place.  But we need people who are willing to take action.  We need to become an army of sorts.

Yes, I would be willing to get very involved. It has been on my mind constantly that I want to do something meaningful about this epidemic and try to help our nation's children. I am at a point in my life where my son is grown, I am on my own, and I want to get involved. Yes, I would sign on the dotted line.

Gathering people of many skills would be beneficial in getting such an idea up and running, I would think. My background is in digital design and photography, and I would absolutely love to volunteer my efforts. Layout of a pamphlet, posters, etc.; if a name for the cause needs a logo, I would be happy to submit ideas for such that can be used as a visual for promotion. Please let me know how I can get involved & get in touch with you.

Thank you, Jess!

I will JessStar, that sounds like a very good idea. And also you can put this on the other threads as well, I think a lot of people would be willing to help in this cause.  ::MonkeyAngel::

I think Traceygirl started a thread about legislation.

I think it's a good idea.  I would be willing to sign petitions but being in Canada I'm not sure how much good my signature would do.   ::MonkeyHaHa::

Thanks, Tams.  And thanks for the kind words.  The source of my motivation is simple--I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.  God has given me the gift of advocacy.  I can't think of a better use of that skill.  I will take you up on your offer-digital design is far from one of my strong points!  We can work together on it.

Oh, and once again, a sad example of a "mother" putting her young children in harms way. . .

"Earls previously served nearly 10 years in prison for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and was released in 2006. He was baby-sitting the two children while their mother worked a second job, but Miller said the relationship between Earls and the mother is unclear."



I whole heartedly agree.  Unfortunately the issue is deeper.  If there was a one strike rule then these creatures would not be in a postion to be near children in the first place.  I am just as mad or even madder at the judicial system for allowing these animals back on the streets.  It has been proven time and yet again that they can not be rehabilitated.  It has been proven yet and time again that probation does not work.  If they can truly not be held out of society then part of the sentencing must include some non-removable means of visually identifying them even before they hit the jail cell.  A glow in the dark flaming orange tattoo across the forehead would work for me. Sentence, tattoo, booking, jail.

Welcome fellow Monkeys
I was reading your posts on the petition and it sounds like a great idea. If I could do anything without leaving that would be great! I have 3 children and a husband at home that would probably frown on that idea but I did send the plea to our state legislature on the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act and I got 2 replys back. One from Carl Levin and one from Debbie Stabenow from Michigan and they said they are working on child safety issues and what I wrote they will take into consideration, so that looks good huh! ::MonkeyDance::

That's GREAT Momog7kids!  I would be very interested in learning what it is they are working on.  If you have a chance to reply, or obtain more information from them, that would be excellent!

My instinct tells me that I "know" you from the MonroeTalks site.  If you're the same person, I know you are passionate about this cause.  We welcome any effort you can put into it.  This will take a great deal of organization, and we're just scratching the surface. 

The good news is that, if Levin and Stabenow are truly working on child safety issues, then our efforts are more timely than ever.  The issue needs to be thrust to the forefront.

I heard on HLN yesterday a SO had raped and sodomized a 4 yr old girl and he got 1 fricking yr in jail!  I assume he probably will be out in 4-5 months for "good" behavior! then will rape again since they get such a light sentence...just a  vacation for them being in jail for that amount of time...no work...3 squares a day, roof over there heads..then after they rest up, go find some more prey in our innocent little children..Meanwhile the child who was raped has a life sentence of fear and horror reliving what happened to them...Something wrong with this picture? ::MonkeyConfused::

edited to separate  my comments

Go get 'em citizens of Oklahoma:

Plea deal for Okla. child rapist prompts outrage

Lawmakers are calling for removal of the judge who approved the deal

AP
Two state lawmakers are questioning a plea agreement that will allow David Harold Earls, shown in a 2003 photo, to serve only one year in jail on a conviction for raping a 4-year-old girl.

updated 9:33 p.m. ET, Tues., June 16, 2009

OKLAHOMA CITY - A plea deal that sent an ex-convict accused of raping a 4-year-old girl to jail for only a year has prompted outrage across Oklahoma, where lawmakers are calling for the removal of the judge who approved the deal and the attorney general is investigating a new set of abuse allegations.

Under the deal, David Harold Earls, 64, of the southeastern Oklahoma town of McAlester, pleaded no contest last month to first-degree rape and forcible sodomy. Normally, the rape charge carries a sentence of between five years to life in prison, but the deal he struck with prosecutors called for 19 years of his 20-year sentence to be suspended.

Residents have since peppered the local newspaper with e-mails and letters questioning why the sentence wasn't harsher.

"I think they should have dropped the hammer on him," said Chris Lenardo, 35, who works at a local barber shop in McAlester, a town of about 18,000 people about 120 miles southwest of Oklahoma City. "I'm still trying to figure out why he's only getting a year."

Testimony of girl had problems

Prosecutors said they only agreed to the plea bargain because the case rested largely on the testimony of the girl, now 5, who made contradictory statements during pretrial hearings. After initially testifying about the assault, she later said she couldn't remember the rape. At one point, the girl ran out of the room and down the hallway.

The case has generated more outrage as new accusations have surfaced. After Earls entered his plea, an estranged relative came forward to make a new allegation of a past rape. Although the statute of limitations likely has expired, it's possible the allegations could be used in another case against Earls if another victim comes forward, Attorney General Drew Edmondson said.

Edmondson said his office is looking at reviving a case against Earls involving the girl's brother. Those charges were dropped when the 5-year-old boy changed his story and said he couldn't recall the incident.

Such problems involving testimony from children in criminal cases aren't unusual, said Barbara Bonner, director of the Center on Child Abuse and Neglect at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.

"Obviously, the criminal justice system wasn't set up to pit a 4- or 5-year-old child against an adult," Bonner said. "Particularly in cases of young children, they have very high levels of anxiety associated with the abuse. They'll do anything to avoid talking about it."

Several state lawmakers want an investigation into the actions of Pittsburg County District Judge Thomas Bartheld, who signed off on the plea deal. The Oklahoma Legislature doesn't have the power to remove a judge, but lawmakers have introduced a resolution asking that a legal process be started in which a judge can be removed by a special state court.

"My general concern is: Are the courts protecting the children?" said Rep. Mike Ritze, R-Broken Arrow. "You have a convicted felon you're looking at. You've got a (family member) that's come forward and said she was raped by him. You've got the public outcry."

Judge says he followed the law
Bartheld did not return a telephone message left Tuesday at his office, but has previously said he followed the law.

Earls previously served nearly 10 years in prison for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and was released in 2006. He was baby-sitting the two children while their mother worked a second job, but Miller said the relationship between Earls and the mother is unclear.

A telephone message left Tuesday with Earls' attorney, Tim Mills, was not returned. He had previously told The Oklahoman newspaper he thought prosecutors didn't want to risk an acquittal.

District Attorney Jim Bob Miller said Tuesday the plea deal was both necessary and accepted with the approval of the girl's family. A medical examination of the girl found evidence of a sexual assault, but no DNA evidence tying Earls to the crime.

"If the little girl freezes on the stand, we literally have nothing," Miller said. "We don't have any doubt that he did this, but the problem was proving it in court."

the dd had a story about this guy in its forums the other day and he had raped his own daughter as well.  she confronted him years later and his lame attempt of an apology was 'i was drunk, i don't remember, sorry.  she replied that her memories were very vivid.  she's out to find justice as well.

There are just no words anymore for all this. If I was a young single mother, I would rather not ever look at a man again, then subject my kids to such insanity. I will never understand this thinking.
oh, no rose, i soo agree.  now i don't believe that your relationship with your child EVER ends, but in the eyes of the law it can at 18.  thats 18 years you have to give your child your best.  after that, its your call...do whatever you want.  become a stripper, date nasty men..whatever.  but in the scheme of things eighteen years is not a long time to wait while you do the best for your child...imo.  the penis will ALWAYS be there...no offense to male monkeys.

It hasn't been all that long.  There's a lot of evidence that needs to be properly processed.  Forensic science will play a big part in this case.  I'm sure they're dotting the "i"s and crossing the "t"s.  Perfection takes time. . . Look at it as the calm before the storm.  I'd have a bad feeling if we were hearing trickles of information.  But to me, the sound of silence is deafening.

I could not agree more, Jess. And Rosie - I too find myself at a loss for words any more.

The viral spread of narcissism in our culture today has reached such epidemic proportions that it has clearly even permeated maternal judgement - which used to seem to be generally more of an instinct with mothers for their children. In our ME ME ME world of entitlement, so many 'parents' are putting their personal needs/wants even before the well being of thier children. It is frightening & sickening - and the consequences are being played out here right before our eyes on a regular basis.

What can we as concerned citizens & parents do to try to squelch the growth of this type of behavior in our country? What can we do to help educate the population? With so many wonderful and concerned monkeys pulling together, maybe we could come up with something to help? Or is it all futile because of rampant drug use? I just don't know . . . Big Heavy Sigh.

. . . But I do know that I would wholeheartedly get involved if we could come up with something . . . any ideas?

We need to think very creatively because you can't legislate against stupidity.  I know I've been saying this for awhile now, but I have several ideas.  I've been spending a lot of personal time on this, have been discussing many of my ideas with local focus groups, and have been getting very positive feedback.  I'm just reluctant to post anything publicly just yet.  The "naysayers" like the ideas, but then state "Good luck, you'll never get that passed" or something of that nature.  But I'm willing to try.  It all begins with numbers, though.  We need to mobilize mobilize mobilize as many people from as many different states as possible.  We won't make any progress with a trickle.  I am genuinely interested in knowing just how many people we can commit to the cause-- commit meaning they would be willing to sign their name on the dotted line of a petition or a piece of proposed legislation, take a trip to DC, meet in a focus group, and so forth.

Can I gauge everyone's interest in that?  If I were to put together a short pamphlet that summarizes the dangers facing our nation's kids, and the inadequacy of our current legal system to deal with those dangers, would you commit to using it to solicit support by emailing it or, better yet, printing it out and handing it to, coworkers, friends, relatives, neighbors, and so forth? 

I don't doubt for one minute that everyone's heart is in the right place.  But we need people who are willing to take action.  We need to become an army of sorts.


Jess - I am more than willing to get active - I am a grass root activist for several causes and always looking for another - I do believe we are in same state and close to the same area

and of course, in the interview above^^^^^^...JB only talked about her fricking self and what she is going through...hardly a word if any about her precious daughter who is in her grave right now! I can not stand this woman...even if she is not directly involved...I still can't stand her...I feel nothing for her but contempt for allowing sex offenders around this little girl...even if they didn't do it, she still put Nevaeh in harms way in my opinion....and she should have kept a better watch on her own child imo

just reread the article again...nope...not about nevaeh and how much she misses her and loves her...all about herself as usual..grrrrrrr....

David Earls...his daughter was on one of the talk shows via phone yesterday and she said that he raped her when she was 8 yrs old...the abuse started before that and it continued until she was 14 yrs old....no one contacted her from LE...and I believe if I heard her right that she had written a letter to let them know that he had abused her as well ....pretty sure that is what I heard....dear grand daughter was here so I couldn't have the volume up too loud...

From the above article on JB:  "They don't talk to me about it," she said. "But at this point, they can't say anything to me. They did tell me there would be a time and place when they can sit down and explain everything, but that now they can't say anything."

I find this statement quite encouraging. I'm sure a lot of progress is being made.  I still think it's a matter of closing a few loose ends.

I sure hope so Jess. You would think they would have test results back from any forensics back. Of course, they could have had to send them to another agency for future testing. You never know.

What did upset me about this article today, was like what was said above...Jennifer doesn't talk about her daughter, how much she misses her, how much she loves her and every day without her has been pure hell. How not knowing what kind of monster could have done this to her little baby, keeps her awake at night...it's just all about Jennifer and how this is affecting her and she wants to clear her name.  If my baby had just been buried a week ago, the last thing in my mind or on my mouth wouldn't be "gee, I wish people would stop spreading lies about me, those rumors just ain't true."

Pink...oh my gosh! that was so profoundly moving! I am so sad to see that! a real life, a real little girl with hopes and dreams and Princess thoughts dancing in her head....all gone...life is not fair...I am really losing some of my faith with each little angel that passes like this one did...

But what a beautiful tribute that you made to this little girl..thank you for that....xxxx

I agree Cookie. She was so full of life and so many "firsts" she will never have a chance to experience. It's all so sad and heartbreaking. I just pray she didn't suffer. ::monkeycry::

I did the first video (in my sig) while the search was on in hopes the video would help get her name and picture out there to help find her. Sadly, the next day....after I finished it, she was found. I had to go back and re-edit the ending. Which was hard. Not the re-editing part...just that she was found dead buried under cement, lying along a river bank.

There was so many beautiful balloon release pictures and the funeral procession with the motorcycles was so special, I thought a second video could be done for Nevaeh. I was thrilled with the MT locals gave me permission to use their pictures and even emailed to me yesterday. I stayed up all night working on it.

She did have a funeral fit for a princess. Little princesses shouldn't have to have funerals though.

Don't give up faith cookie. There are good people and good parents out there. The world is a beautiful and wonderful place and we all are lucky to have the gift of life.

There is evil in this world and bad things do happen but you can't give up faith.

We have to accept the things we can not change and change the things we can. We have to make sure that the evil gets punished and that lessons are learned. We need to educate our young better on how to be parents. There is so much we can do to, we can't give up hope or faith in mankind.

I agree, you can't lose faith.  I'll be the first to admit, these incidents test my faith like nothing else.  But if they erode your faith, then evil wins.  And we can't let that happen.

There are some things we are just unable to understand.  This is one of them.  What kills me more than anything is not just that this happened, but that there is a person out there that did this, knows he/she did this, but they can sit idly by knowing the pain he/she inflicted on this child and everyone associated with her, seeing her photos and videos, hearing her voice, seeing her face full of both happiness and fear (having stared into her eyes), thinking of her carefree, playful nature as you'd find in any child. . . a reflection of the purest and truest of innocense, unconditional love, and unbridled trust like we saw in Sandra's surveillance video . . ., knowing he/she took this child's life, yet they can sit quietly by, without conscience, without a tear, without sorrow of any sort, and live with it with the hope that he/she won't be caught.  That's totally foreign to me.  I can't comprehend it.  I get angry when I think about it.  To me, that's the epitome of evil. And that's the part I struggle with most. 

One would think that, having been a lawyer for 15 years, I'd have some answer.  Or at least be able to offer a reasonable explanation that some might find comfort in.  But I don't have an answer, and I can't offer an explanation.  About the only thing I can say is that pure evil exists in a few people, and that will never change. The silver lining is that 99 times out of 100, the evil people are caught and punished.  Sometimes it takes longer than we think it should.  But patience is the virtue of a positive thinker and the eternal optimist.  At times I need to put on my lawyer hat and be objective--something I'm pretty good at when looking at my successes.  Nonetheless, it never gets any easier for me.  In fact, it gets harder and harder and harder and harder. 

I'm sure most of you that have read my posts and have gotten to "know" me over the course of last few months know that I am a very optimistic person and a very staunch advocate for what I believe in.  I take these cases very, very personally.  At the same time, they are very emotionally trying to me.  At times I have to back away so I can regain my composure.  But if I had the ability to spend 100% of my time trying to help the children, then I'd do it.  If I had Oprah Winfrey's money, and didn't have to work to support my family, I know what I'd be doing with it.  Right now, I am doing what I can.

So I, no WE, have to think positive, and keep OUR faith strong.  In fact, I now walk around with "bracelet" tied to my wrist as an emotional crutch.  It's made out of blue, yellow, white and green strings, and my 11 year old made it for me.  She looked up the colors on an internet site that discusses the meaning of different color ribbons.  Blue is for child abuse prevention, yellow for amber alerts, white for anti-child pornography and green for missing kids.  She told me I have to wear it until it falls off.  When it falls off, I am to make a wish and it will come true.  I already have my wish picked out. . .

Thanks for the video. There has always been evil in the world, that will never change. And all one can hope for is the people that commit evil crimes gets punished to the fullest. There are many more decent people than evil.

Thank you so much Pink for that wonderful trubute to Nevaeh. Sorry I havent posted in a couple days but I am getting ready to leave for Kansas City Mo for a Skills USA competition for Crime Scene Investigation for our school. Our team of 3 CSIs won 1st place in the State of Michigan and now we have to travel to Kansas City to compete in the National Compitition for Michigan. I think we are going against 40 other schools in the post secondary division which is the college level. This is it! all I worked for comes down to this next week to see what skills I have to catch these monsters from getting to our kids and finding the ones that do and bring them to justice. ::MonkeyNoNo::

I may be on occationally when I am not busy competing but I due want to be kept up to date on the investigation in Nevaeh's case, it is important to me because if it turns out the way I think it might, then that will make my fight that much more stronger at the Capital in Lansing. Also wish me luck fellow monkeys, I have to fly and I am terrified of flying to the point that I begged my doctor to tell our instructor that I can't fly. All he did was laugh at me and give me some pills to relax, LOL ::MonkeyNoNo::

When hundreds of balloons were released at Munson Park during Nevaeh Buchanan's funeral procession, the little girl's mother felt a sense of peace.
"It was beautiful," Jennifer Buchanan said Friday afternoon. "When they let go of those balloons, I felt a piece of my daughter go with them."
A week after burying her daughter, Ms. Buchanan continues to grieve while searching for a tombstone and trying to understand who could have abducted and killed her 5-year-old daughter and why.
She also is struggling with the pain of rumors that continue to swirl around her. She and her mother, Sherry Buchanan, do not understand why they have to defend themselves and continue to proclaim their innocence.
"I wouldn't wish this on no one," Sherry Buchanan said. "I just don't understand these people who are spreading the rumors. I hope they never have to go through the hell that we're going through."
During a lengthy interview Friday afternoon at their Charlotte Arms apartment, Nevaeh's mother and grandmother discussed the two sides of the Monroe community that have emerged from the tragedy.
Both women said they are grateful for the hundreds of people who helped search for Nevaeh and have offered support. But they also are angry and perplexed by the part of the community that has attacked both of them, mostly anonymously, and especially Jennifer.
She said she's heard them all: That she's been partying in bars and that she was purported to be assaulted in one of them. She's aware of the claims that she's supposedly vacationing in Florida, that's she's under house arrest and that she's pregnant. None of it, she said, is true.
"It really makes me mad," Jennifer said. "So I don't go anywhere. I don't go shopping anymore and I don't go to the grocery store. I don't listen to what other people say. They don't know me."
She said that throughout the ordeal, most people have been supportive. However, there has been an incident or two where strangers have either been rude or threatening.
"I try to stay inside," she said. "I try to stay out of the public."
Jennifer, who grew up in Monroe and attended Monroe High School, again denied involvement in her daughter's disappearance and death. And she said she doesn't know if her friend, George Kennedy, had anything to do with it. She said she did receive a call from him while he was in jail. He left a message of sympathy but she did not speak to him.
As far as the events as they occurred the day Nevaeh disappeared, Jennifer said she was not allowing her daughter to play outside as was widely reported. On that day, May 24, mother and daughter came home from Kmart and Nevaeh went to a friend's apartment in the same building one floor above. The landing is visible from the Buchanan's door.
She said Nevaeh came back downstairs to their apartment, changed clothes, grabbed a popsicle and said she was going back to Austin's apartment.
"That was the last time I saw her," Jennifer said. "I didn't tell her to go outside and play. She wasn't supposed to be outside."
Then someone told her Nevaeh was outside. When Jennifer went to see, all she saw was the scooter. Nevaeh was gone. There were no screams or yells for help.
She said she immediately began searching by knocking on apartment doors and looking around the building grounds. She said she even traced their steps back toward Kmart. When those efforts failed, the police were called, which was around 8 that night. Within minutes, a deputy was on the scene. What followed was a whirlwind of investigations, searches and countless rumors.
Then, on June 4, fishermen found Nevaeh's body buried in a shallow grave along the River Raisin. The search was over. The missing child case had become a murder investigation. Since then, little information has been released by the police. And in the meantime, the family has had to bury a little girl.
Shaun Lawson, Jennifer's cousin, was a pall bearer at the funeral. He said the loss not only has been horrific, it also has made him concerned about the safety of his own 8-year-old daughter.
"I'm terrified for her sake," Mr. Lawson said. "We should all be worried. This is something you don't want to go through. No one should have to go through this."
Jennifer estimated that up to 1,500 people visited the funeral home during a two-day period. People showed up from as far away as Missouri and condolences came from Texas. It was that part of the community, she said, that has helped her through this.
On the day of the funeral, the long procession wound past Munson Park, Nevaeh's favorite place, and many people alongside the road held their hands to their hearts. One man ran outside to see with shaving cream still on his face.
"You'd think the president was in that hearse," Jennifer said. "It touched my heart. Without the community, we wouldn't have had all that. I was very happy with it."
"Everyone came together for her," Sherry added. "She went out in a blaze of glory."
Now the family waits for news from the investigation. Jennifer said it still bothers her that she hasn't been able to see her daughter's body but she realizes it's her. And she can't help thinking about the horrors her daughter endured.
"I don't know if she was sexually assaulted or if she was strangled," Jennifer said. "That's the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night."
Recently, the apartment complex told the family to remove the memorial that was created under a tree in front of the Buchanan home. People were showing up at all hours of the night and it was becoming unmanageable. So the family brought all the stuffed animals and other items inside and they filled a bedroom. They said they plan to donate the items.
These days, Sherry Buchanan always keeps the apartment door locked. She's gone back to work and that has helped somewhat.
But when she comes home, that's when it gets difficult. She still can't believe that little girl isn't around to greet her anymore with an enthusiastic "Grandma!"
"When I go home at night, that's when it hurts the most," Sherry said. "It'll get easier but it hurts. It's hard. It's really hard."

The most likely answer to your question, Cookie, is yes, provided the abuse caused physical trauma.  But she could have been sexually abused in a way that did not result in physical trauma.

i agree with the previous poster who asked that if she wasnt sexually abused wouldnt that point the finger more towards mom...i think it definitely would

I normally do not post in here, but I have a son that works at a CVS north of the Monroe area. He mentioned that a relative of the Mother had come in shortly after the body was discovered and was telling employees about a note that they had found in the Mom's apartment. In a nutshell she stated that the note indicated that Neveah was sold for drug money. I'm sure this is known by you and has been hashed about. Just wanted to add that my son heard the statement from the relative too.

From an article dated 5/30/09

"On Friday, Crutchfield declined to discuss a letter Buchanan said investigators took from her bedroom. He also would not rule Buchanan out as a person of interest.

Buchanan told the Free Press that investigators pulled the letter from her trash after she ripped it up before sending it to Kennedy. She said the letter said nothing about her daughter or about Kennedy spending time with her.

"That is so false," she said. "Everyone is so judgmental because they don't know me."

Afternoon, monkey friends!

There seems to have been much speculation regarding the note at one time - even JB telling GK she would "take care of his things" while he was in jail (WTH?! - sounds like code to me...) - but I don't believe I have read anything that LE has said about the note other than "no comment at this time". Therefore, all is speculation only - - - but why would LE not be revealing anything with regards to that yet? I imagine, as mentioned above, they are waiting for all test results to come back before showing their hand, and this note may somehow be an important piece of the puzzle. Even if she was just professing her love for him, or whatever, it is tangible proof to a relationship with an SO, and therefore further proof that she put her daughter in harm's way. JMO.

Also - regarding JB still being a drug user - do we know for certain that she was using again since out of jail in Jan.? Or is this specultion as well? (Based on her past, of course.) How would she be feeding her habit now that LE has been watching her? Where would the money be coming from? Wouldn't LE have found drugs when they searched the apt., thus taken her in for that alone? (as per Hataway).

Just thinking.

Yes, that is quite possible.  But keep in mind, there's a lot of evidence that needs to be properly processed.  Autopsy is only a small piece of that.  And relatively speaking, it's not been all that long.  Some tests can take weeks--that's just the nature of the beast.  While it's not the best thing for our inquiring minds right now, the best thing for this case is silence by LE. 

There are legal implications associated with calling someone a suspect, which is why the phrase "person of interest" has become so popular these days.  I agree that if Nevaeh was not sexually abused that JB will become a focal point (assuming she's not already).  But whether she was implicated in Nevaeh's murder is a different question.  Remember, JB didn't pal around with the nicest of people.  And if the rumors are true, she had a fairly significant drug problem at one point, and perhaps still does.  She was even willing to commit money-crimes (ie, the home invasion and robbing the car dealership) presumably for money to pay a drug debt.  Drug "gangs" are ruthless.  They fit the characteristics of "pure evil" I mentioned in my earlier post.  This could equally as likely been a vengeance murder--one that JB may certainly know something about but is too afraid to come forward.  In cases like that, time is on LE's side.  Of course, all of this pure speculation.

One of the biggest problems I'm having with this case is this:  Locals have said that people were out all over the place on this beautiful Sunday evening on memorial day weekend.  Children were outside playing.  There were adults outside.  Locals say it was characteristic in this area to have people out all over the place on nice evenings like this, and there were.  Yet no one saw anything. So either someone's too afraid to come forward, or this didn't happen like JB said it happened.  One big question in my mind is whether there was an abduction in the first place.  The fact that this occurred the very first time JB was supposed to be baby sitting Nevaeh alone raises a huge red flag in my mind.  And the fact that JB reported that the last time she saw Nevaeh was inside the apartment building raises another.  The inconsistency between the sequence of events offered by JB and the sequence of events offered by Austin's mother (the mother of the child Nevaeh was playing inside with), raises another red flag.  And the fact that JB waited 2 hours to alert law enforcement raises a fourth.  I can't recall reading any confirmed reports of anyone seeing Nevaeh outside playing.  The statements taken from the children turned out to be false-or at least questionable.  And Nevaeh's scooter wasn't found lying on the ground somewhere-it was found propped up against the building.  (a) the likelihood that a 5 year old would do that is slim.  They're going to leave it lie where it falls.  And (b) it is highly unlikely that an abductor would take the time to do that.  I'm not suggesting an abduction was impossible.  I'm just finding it a little hard to swallow at this point.

Afternoon, monkey friends!

There seems to have been much speculation regarding the note at one time - even JB telling GK she would "take care of his things" while he was in jail (WTH?! - sounds like code to me...) - but I don't believe I have read anything that LE has said about the note other than "no comment at this time". Therefore, all is speculation only - - - but why would LE not be revealing anything with regards to that yet? I imagine, as mentioned above, they are waiting for all test results to come back before showing their hand, and this note may somehow be an important piece of the puzzle. Even if she was just professing her love for him, or whatever, it is tangible proof to a relationship with an SO, and therefore further proof that she put her daughter in harm's way. JMO.

Also - regarding JB still being a drug user - do we know for certain that she was using again since out of jail in Jan.? Or is this specultion as well? (Based on her past, of course.) How would she be feeding her habit now that LE has been watching her? Where would the money be coming from? Wouldn't LE have found drugs when they searched the apt., thus taken her in for that alone? (as per Hataway).

Just thinking.

I agree with you Tams. There's been much speculation about that note, none of which I find particularly credible.  I certainly mean no disrespect, but I find it hard to believe that a relative of this child would walk into a CVS store and openly make such comments.  Indeed, if what we know about that note is true, there are only 2 people that know what's in it--JB and LE.   JMHO

Nothing new in the murder investigation
by Ray Kisonas , last modified June 20. 2009 1:01AM
Police involved in the Nevaeh Buchanan murder investigation have been unusually tight-lipped and have released scant information since the 5-year-old girl's body was recovered nearly two weeks ago.
Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield has made it a point to be the sole provider of all official information released to the media. Even members of his department, including some who are ranked, have said they are not privy to any details of the case.
Jennifer Buchanan and her mother, Sherry Buchanan, said they do not know any details regarding who could have been involved or how Nevaeh died. They said police have released very little information about how the case is progressing. While they understand, not knowing is still frustrating.
"They're just not leaking anything out," Jennifer Buchanan said.
"But I don't want to feel like I'm standing in their way. I don't want them to make no mistakes."
Sheriff Crutchfield said police have been in contact with the family members as recently as Friday.
"The medical examiner's office has not issued a cause of death yet," the sheriff said through e-mail. "As stated earlier, there was no apparent trauma to the body. Toxicology results are still pending."
He added that lab analysis has not been completed on evidence submitted to the State Police Crime Lab and no results have been reported to investigators other than the positive DNA identification on Nevaeh.
On the night that Nevaeh disappeared, her mother contacted police around 8 p.m. after searching the complex and vicinity. She said an Amber Alert was not issued until 12:30 a.m., more than four hours later. Tracking dogs were not at the scene, family members claim, until the next day.
"I am not going to question the investigator's decision on the appropriate time to issue an Amber Alert," the sheriff responded. "It was however requested that evening."
K-9 dogs, he added, were at the scene that night as well as the helicopter. Additional police dog searches and helicopter flights were conducted for the next few days. Ground searches also were conducted by officers, he added.

I agree about the scooter, my girls are adults, but when they were smaller there is no way the scooter would have been leaning up against anything, it would have been just on the ground. That is suspicious to me also.

I agree - my 10 y/o is lucky if he does not leave the scooter behind the car - he is forever looking for it because he can not remember where he left it. JB's story just keeps changing and she is too defensive for my taste.

Here is a new article from the examiner. It's the same basically as one from the other day. I will just post a snip from the end that implies that they have spoken with Vernon Davis. The article from the other day, said something about him not being at Monroe address and that the neighbor said he lived in Toleldo.

Another man being questioned in the case is Vernon Davis, 33, who was convicted in May 2007 of having sex with a minor under 16, but served no prison time for the offense.

Thank you both very much. The song by the Williams Brothers was perfect for the way everyone is feeling over the loss of Nevaeh. The pictures that the MT'ers took worked well with it.

Thanks on the comments of my new "clothes". They were made by Ms. Brandi. She is such a talented monkey.

She also was kind enough to make a lovely graphic for Nevaeh's facebook group main page. The restrictions of the size that it needed to be and the fact that facebook won't let you upload animations, made it a special challenge for her but she did an amazing job. Purple was Nevaeh's favorite color.

Gino Dalessio said he’s been interviewed by the FBI four times. He said he was one of the last people to see the girl, playing outside the Charlotte Arms Apartments.

“She was in there, playing,” Dalessio said, pointing to a corner of the parking lot. “Playing with another little boy … there was a lot of kids out here, they were just playing.”

Mine too. . . I'll continue having this empty feeling inside until this case is solved.  Nevaeh pops into my mind several times a day, and I need to stop what I'm doing, take a deep breath, and say a prayer that perpetrator is caught.

I saw something interesting on Monroe News yesterday.  Apparently there was an attempted abduction of two little girls in Monroe (I can't remember the ages, but they were like 7 and 9 or something like that).  They managed to get away, but they described the vehicle as being a green or blue hatchback type vehicle.  That made me stop and think--could this be the green "minivan" type vehicle LE has been looking for?  Could there be a connection?  Hmmm. . .

By the way, on a more positive note, authorities have rescued the 4 year old girl (Haleigh) that went missing from Ohio after her mother fled with her and her sex offender boyfriend.  They located them at a ranch in California after receiving a tip from the area.  Thank God.

Girls accosted by stranger in Car

Two girls have told police that someone tried to coax them into a car about 7:20 pm Sunday in the first block W. Seventh St., Monroe Police Records Show.

The girls, ages 9 and 11, were riding bicycles near W Seventh and S. Monroe st at the time.  As they explained to police, they saw a blue or green hatchback vehicle with tape or plastic on the rear window parked in the area.  A man was in the back seat with the car door op0en.  He waved to the girls to come over, but instead the girls hurried home and told their father.

Their father went to the area to check for the suspect vehicle, but it already was gone.  Police then were called to check on the situation.

Officers later learned that a car matching that description has been seen in the neighborhood, but they do not yet know to whom it belongs.
--------------------------
You never know Jess! I hope it is being looked into.

Haddie, that graphic was made for Nevaeh's facebook group main page but you are welcome to use it. :)

It is a shame about the long wait for all the forensic testing to be done but that is the way it is among most law enforcement agencies anymore. They are just not funded or staffed enough to keep up with all the crime that happens everyday. We can bail out banks and car companies but when it comes to getting murder evidence processed and rape kits processed, to help ID bad guys and get them off the streets......::shakes head::

Tips still wanted,who killed Nevaeh?
June 24, 12:17 PM

When most of us think of little girls we imagine ponytails, baby dolls and barrettes. One gruesome scene left in our minds and on our hearts is that of a little girl someone left along the River Raisin near Monroe, Michigan as a mother and community searched for her.

Nevaeh Amyah Buchanan, 5-year-old girl in love with motorcycles was found on the river bank covered in concrete.
The community was devastated when two fishermen found the girl's body, covered with the concrete in a hole dug along the River Raisin in Raisinville Township. Nevaeh name spelled backward is heaven.

Officials still are waiting to learn what killed the girl found buried and covered in concrete in a shallow riverside grave. A preliminary autopsy showed no signs of outward trauma, authorities said.

Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said only that his department is looking for a “disturbed” person who murdered an innocent child.
 
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office continues to request tips from anyone who has recently fished along Dixon Road in Raisinville Township, where two men fishing found the missing girl's body June 4.

Anyone with information is asked to call 734-243-7070.

Sheriff: Nevaeh case will be solved
by Ray Kisonas , last modified June 25. 2009 11:16AM

Three weeks ago, the body of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan was found in a shallow grave along the River Raisin and investigators still have not released how she died, what type of evidence has been collected and whether they have any solid suspects.
But Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said he is confident the case will be solved.
"We’ll resolve it," he said.
Information continues to be held tight by investigators, and the FBI continues to be involved with the investigation, Sheriff Crutchfield said. He said a cause of death either is not being released or has not been determined because test results still are not completed even though the Michigan State Police crime lab has made the case a priority.
Sheriff Crutchfield said nothing has changed regarding new information being released to media.
"We’re waiting for official results from the medical examiner’s office," he said. "We don’t have a (cause of death) yet."
Some of the evidence collected had to be sent to another lab for unspecified reasons. Sheriff Crutchfield added that investigators continue to follow up on tips, which number around 1,200. Calls offering tips have slowed in recent days, he added.
Family members, including Nevaeh’s mother and grandmother, also have not heard any new information regarding the investigation or cause of death.
Two men who are registered sex offenders and were linked to the case as persons of interest remain in prison. George Kennedy and Roy L. Smith are being housed at Jackson prison for parole violations.
Nevaeh disappeared May 24 from her Charlotte Arms apartment complex on N. Macomb St., and massive searches involving the community followed.
Fishermen found her body on June 4 in a grave covered by concrete.

Mine too. It sounds like they have an idea, they are just waiting for lab results to confirm it.

My friend Amy who was one of the organizers from the group search said she got a message from another Monroe searcher saying that "2 men in a maroon/Burgundy work van tried grabbing two young children near 8th and Bacon."

That and the story from the other day, scares me. Either there is someone out there snatching children that might have also had something to do with Nevaeh's murder OR there are other sickos on the loose in Monroe.

That's certainly troubling, if true, on a number of levels, Pink Angel. Monroe really needs to be and stay on high alert. Parents and caretakers should not be leaving children alone-period. Even if they're in groups. Unlike Nevaeh, these kids have been given a second chance. I really hope the parents hear and see the message. The price is just too high not to.

The search for Nevaeh's killer continuesFriday, June 26, 2009

More than one month after she went missing and three weeks since the discovery of her body many questions remain about the death of Nevaeh Buchannan. We are still waiting for autopsy results, still waiting to hear the cause of death and waiting for investigators to name a suspect. The same goes for Nevaeh's family.
More than one month has gone by since relatives last saw Nevaeh Buchannan alive.
The 5-year-old disappeared from her home at Charlotte Arms Apartments in Monroe. Nearly two weeks later two fisherman found the girl's body along a bank of the River Raisin. It was in a shallow grave covered in cement.

Three weeks after that grim discovery there are still no autopsy results, no cause of death and no suspects listed. Police had arrested registered sex offenders George Kennedy and Roy Smith on parole violations shortly after Neveah went missing. Both are still in prison and considered persons of interest, but they are not officially suspects. Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield tells 13abc he's confident investigators will crack the case saying, "We're hopeful it will be resolved. It might take longer than we want. But, personally, I believe it will be resolved."
Family members are also confident those working the more than 1,300 leads are doing everything they can. The sheriff himself said, "It is the bulk of my time. I've made it that way. It will be that way until it is resolved."
Nevaeh's cousin Shaun Lawson says, "We still want people to remember. And we don't want people to forget about their kids even for a few seconds. A few minutes, that's all it takes. We don't need this to happen to any other kid."
Nevaeh's family wants to drive that point home for all they know, her killer is still out there.

Sheriff: Nevaeh case will be solved
by Ray Kisonas , last modified June 25. 2009 11:16AM
Three weeks ago, the body of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan was found in a shallow grave along the River Raisin and investigators still have not released how she died, what type of evidence has been collected and whether they have any solid suspects.
But Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said he is confident the case will be solved.
"We’ll resolve it," he said.
Information continues to be held tight by investigators, and the FBI continues to be involved with the investigation, Sheriff Crutchfield said. He said a cause of death either is not being released or has not been determined because test results still are not completed even though the Michigan State Police crime lab has made the case a priority.
Sheriff Crutchfield said nothing has changed regarding new information being released to media.
"We’re waiting for official results from the medical examiner’s office," he said. "We don’t have a (cause of death) yet."
Some of the evidence collected had to be sent to another lab for unspecified reasons. Sheriff Crutchfield added that investigators continue to follow up on tips, which number around 1,200. Calls offering tips have slowed in recent days, he added.
Family members, including Nevaeh’s mother and grandmother, also have not heard any new information regarding the investigation or cause of death.
Two men who are registered sex offenders and were linked to the case as persons of interest remain in prison. George Kennedy and Roy L. Smith are being housed at Jackson prison for parole violations.
Nevaeh disappeared May 24 from her Charlotte Arms apartment complex on N. Macomb St., and massive searches involving the community followed.
Fishermen found her body on June 4 in a grave covered by concrete.

They are waiting for test results. It takes time. It is frustrating for LE too, I am sure. I think they know something but are waiting for forensics to confirm it. 

That's JMO though. I have faith in LE.

I agree pink angel.  But I also think LE haven't/won't release some details they may already have or are going to have after the testing is finished for fear of jeopardizing the investigation.

From the above article on JB:  "They don't talk to me about it," she said. "But at this point, they can't say anything to me. They did tell me there would be a time and place when they can sit down and explain everything, but that now they can't say anything."

I find this statement quite encouraging. I'm sure a lot of progress is being made.  I still think it's a matter of closing a few loose ends.


I sure hope so Jess. You would think they would have test results back from any forensics back. Of course, they could have had to send them to another agency for future testing. You never know.

What did upset me about this article today, was like what was said above...Jennifer doesn't talk about her daughter, how much she misses her, how much she loves her and every day without her has been pure hell. How not knowing what kind of monster could have done this to her little baby, keeps her awake at night...it's just all about Jennifer and how this is affecting her and she wants to clear her name.  If my baby had just been buried a week ago, the last thing in my mind or on my mouth wouldn't be "gee, I wish people would stop spreading lies about me, those rumors just ain't true."

jmo ::shrugs::

I made another video if anyone wants to see it. A lot of the Monroe Talkers e-mailed me their pictures to be used in the video along with others I collected around the web.

Thank you so much Pink for that wonderful trubute to Nevaeh. Sorry I havent posted in a couple days but I am getting ready to leave for Kansas City Mo for a Skills USA competition for Crime Scene Investigation for our school. Our team of 3 CSIs won 1st place in the State of Michigan and now we have to travel to Kansas City to compete in the National Compitition for Michigan. I think we are going against 40 other schools in the post secondary division which is the college level. This is it! all I worked for comes down to this next week to see what skills I have to catch these monsters from getting to our kids and finding the ones that do and bring them to justice. ::MonkeyNoNo::

I agree with you Pink Angel.  Frustrating, yes.  But think of it like this--LE received over 1200 tips.  We don't know how many of those tips became leads.  A single tip can generate many, many, leads.  A single tip can generate THE lead that breaks the case.  It's difficult for me to believe, based on what we've discussed before (the busy night, kids and people out everywhere, etc. etc.) that not a single tip generated any significant leads.  That's why I'm remaining confident that this case will be resolved. 

If you want my opinion, I think they already have the one person in custody that knows something material to the case.  He may not have been involved in the actual crime itself, but I think he knows who did it because I think the perpetrator came to him after the crime had been committed for advice and/or help.  I think this person is looked upon as a leader among local criminals.  He has a strong personality, has no conscience, and is trusted by local criminals as being a confidant with a strong "I will not snitch" reputation.  I think the person is and will continue to be a tough nut to crack.  I think cracking him might partly be the reason for the perceived delay.  And that persons name is . . . Roy Lee Smith.

JessStar you could very well be correct.

I recall reading an article a while back that contained statements made by this guy's girlfriend/acquaintance or whatever.  The way she described his demeanor right after Nevaeh went missing, and certain facts that she reported in the article about the way he acted, things he did, things he said, things that "happened" while she was with him, gave me a pit in my stomach.  The things she reported were exactly the type of things you'd expect from someone who knows something.

That's why I left the MonroeTalks forum for Nevaeh.  It was all bashing and rumormill, except for a few posters who posted useful information and who came across as truly caring about this little girl.  Nevaeh's family would do good to just ignore the forums.  They'll never be able to get the last word.

You know, I was following one of the local monroe news stations on Twitter when this story first broke.  I remember, before Nevaeh was found, the reporter making the comment, "I should stay out of the forums.  Nothing but heartbreaking rumors in there" or something of that nature.  Yes, every one is upset and frustrated.  But the energy should be directed at providing support in respect for this little child.  No amount of bashing or blaming is going to bring her back.  And hind-sight is always 20-20. 

To those on those forums and comment sections who judge unwittingly, ""Do not judge lest you be judged yourselves. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by you standards of measure, it shall be measured to you." (Matt 7:1&2)  We can cast blame all the way down the chain to any person who at any time saw Nevaeh out playing alone and did nothing. . . We can cast blame on anyone who knew George Kennedy was a sex offender and spent time with JB and did nothing. . . We can cast blame on anyone who had suspicions about whether Nevaeh was being properly cared for, but did nothing. . .for had one of these persons done something, said something, confronted someone, perhaps Nevaeh would still be with us.  "I didn't say anything because I wasn't her parent" isn't a good excuse when the life of a child is in jeopardy.

So my advice:  Don't put yourself in the horrible spot of someday being asked to answer the question, "Are you the pot or the kettle?"

My thoughts and prayers are with Nevaeh.  Justice will be served.

You never know.  Stranger things have happened.  Sometimes "the" lead comes when and where it's least expected.

Good night Friends.  I'm sure Nevaeh is looking down on us all and, as the perfect angel, is thanking us for caring about her so much.  I'm sure she'd be telling us to not feel sad--she's at peace, and she knows now how much she's loved by people who never even knew her.

Please don't make any calls, it's a really bad idea.  It's against Scared Monkeys policy to post personal phone number.  Even though you may have found the number elsewhere, please don't post it here.

I hope LE has communicated this to the residents of Monroe and the surrounding area.  I copied it from the Lindsey Baum cage.  It is EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT.

"Scott suggested that one or more of the following warning signs might raise a red flag and should result in a call to police:

 • Someone suddenly changing his or her physical appearance, such as cutting or dyeing hair or shaving a mustache or beard.

 • Someone suddenly getting rid of a car.

 • An unexplained or out-of-character absence from work.

 • Unexplained cuts or bruises to the face or arms.

 • Someone picking up or resuming bad habits such as smoking or drinking, or changes in mood, such as being depressed or irritable for no apparent reason."

These are the kinds of tips that solve crimes.  I would add these to the list:

•  Someone exhibiting an abrupt personality change who becomes quick to fly off the handle, or who seems uncharacteristically impatient, anxious or nervous.

•  Someone who has become uncharacteristically secretive

•  Someone who has become uncharacteristically defensive

I'm going to send it to Sheriff Crutchfield.  I don't know what has been communicated to the residents of Monroe and the surrounding area.  But the fact is, while these may be obvious to some of us, they aren't obvious to everyone.  And people tend to overlook them, rationalize them away, or chalk them up to a stressful event, being in a bad mood, or just plain not feeling well when the person exhibiting these changes is a family member, close friend, relative, or what have you.  The risk is that he'll be offended that someone is trying to tell him how to do his job, which is certainly not my intent.  Nonetheless, I think the benefit outweighs that risk.

well, i read all of the bickering on monroe news...it seems as though Nevaeh's 'father' (or someone who says they are anyway) posted his phone number....not a safe idea but i'm have tempted to call and see what his thoughts are....i'm still debating...

Please don't make any calls, it's a really bad idea.  It's against Scared Monkeys policy to post personal phone number.  Even though you may have found the number elsewhere, please don't post it here.
muffy thanks for the concern.  don't worry, i would never post a phone number on the web (mine or anybody else).  good lookin' out Muffy  ::MonkeyAngel::

Nevaeh has really been on my mind this morning.  I don't even know this little girl, and she's left a hole in my heart.

Mine too Jess. I think of her often throughout the day and she is one of the last things I think of before bed.

I had a dream about her the other night. I woke up feeling at peace for the first time since she went missing.

It made me even more confident that justice will be served for this little angel of ours.

That's good to hear, Pink Angel.  I believe there's always something to things like that.  My mom convinced me of that years ago.  My mom's faith is very strong.  After Nevaeh was found, I asked her to help me pray for justice on earth for the little girl.  Yesterday, out of the blue, my mom told me with great confidence that there will be.

Search Continues for
Nevaeh's Killer

      FOX 2 News

MONROE, Mich. (WJBK) - The Monroe County Sheriff's Department and the FBI are looking at 400 sex offenders in Monroe County. It's been nearly six weeks since Neveah Buchanan was first reported missing. Family members are still waiting for closure.

Neveah Buchanan's cousin is talking about the trauma left behind since her death. He and other family members are waiting on official autopsy results and the killer to be found.

"It's hard to think about, but we need the person or persons caught soon," said Shaun Lawson.

The first autopsy is set to be completed. Now, a second one is set to be used to confirm the exact cause of death. The FBI tells FOX 2 the results may not be released to the public immediately, fearing it could change someone's story.

With little, new information, the FBI has the following tip. "Don't engage in rumors. Don't spread rumors," said Robert Beckman. "If there's somebody that tells you something that you think... may be related to a fact, call the FBI and we'll follow up on it."

Beckman says the 400 registered sex offenders in Monroe County are being interviewed and their stories checked multiple times. The sex offenders are said to be cooperative.

"The people that we talked to were very cooperative with us and, in many cases, they themselves, the people who were on the sex offender list, were also concerned about the fate of Nevaeh Buchanan," Beckman said.

Whatever DNA is found from Nevaeh's body will be compared to samples taken from those sex offenders. Investigators are even taking fiber from people's carpets in the Charlotte Arms Apartments. They're calling for more tips and patience, saying it could be weeks longer for autopsy results to become available.

"Until then, we're stuck here silent. We still keep our eyes and ears open, wondering," Lawson said. Wondering when they'll find the person responsible for taking Nevaeh away from them.

Hi everyone

I am back from Kansas City Mo. If you forgot I was there competing in a competition in Crime Scene Investigation and last March we competed in the State of Michigan and our team of 3 CSIs got the gold medal and went to compete in the Nationals in Kansas City. Out of 15 teams competing our Michigan team of 3 CSIs got 4th place and we came with in 1% of getting the Bronze medal. Anyway I was catching up on scared monkeys and trying to see if there was any news. Thank you for the news and the lists pink. Actually everything on the list is right because that is what we were taught in Criminology a year ago. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and I hope that the FBI and the Police can find those responsible soon and give the family peace as well as the rest of us.

I'm not sure what happened there.  What I tried to say was:

CONGRATS!  That's a great finish.  We're all very proud of you!  Nice work--that takes a lot of time and commitment.  Way to go.

With regard to Nevaeh, we're all waiting patiently for news of an arrest.  But I'm sure LE is making sure they are dotting all the "i's" and crossing all the "t's."  The last thing anyone wants is a rushed, sloppy investigation that could be easily attacked.  This is a special case--patience is key.  No one wants a child killer on the loose.  LE is under a lot of pressure to get it right.  And I have the utmost of confidence that they will. 

In the meantime, this little girl remains in my thoughts and prayers. 

Again, Congrats!

Just an FYI for any locals:
Four locations of Olga's Kitchen are hosting a fundraiser from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday July 8 for the Nevaeh Buchanan Memorial Fund.

Those who present the Olga's flier mentioning the Nevaeh fundraiser will have 15 percent of their bill donated to the memorial fund. The fliers are available to pick up at the information desk at Frenchtown Square mall, 2121 N. Monroe St., and available to download at the Olga's Kitchen Facebook page.

5-year-old Nevaeh went missing from her Monroe home on May 24 and was found dead June 4 near the River Raisin. The family has designated a memorial fund at the Community Foundation of Monroe County, with any expenses not used for her funeral expenses to be used to help pay for funerals of indigent children in Monroe County.

The participating locations are at Frenchtown Square mall, Westfield Shoppingtown Franklin Park in Toledo, Southland Center and Woodhaven Village Square.

Here's the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/olgaskitchen

Nevaeh's Death Investigation Still On
Monroe Community Continues To Hold Fundraisers In Slain Girl's Honor

POSTED: Wednesday, July 8, 2009
UPDATED: 7:21 pm EDT July 8, 2009
DETROIT -- It's been weeks since the Monroe County Sheriff's Department has released any new information regarding the killing of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.

Investigation Into Monroe Girl's Death Ongoing

The Monroe girl disappeared in May, triggering a massive search. Her body was discovered in early June encased in cement and dumped along the River Raisin.

Investigators working the case have been quiet, and told Local 4 Wednesday that there are still no arrests in the case and the girl's cause of death is yet to be determined. But investigators said the case is still very active, with new leads being followed up on and new interviews being conducted.

Family, friends and community members gathered Wednesday for a fundraiser in Buchanan's honor at various Olga's Kitchen restaurant locations.

Proof Positive
Earlier this year we began a fundraising program aimed at reaching out to worthy causes in the communities where we do business and inviting them to urge their supporters to dine at Olga’s Kitchen on select dates and times. We provide each group with marketing support by designing flyers for the group to pass out and promoting their event on our Facebook page. When all is said and done we donate 15% of the total bill of each person who presents a flyer at the participating restaurant on the designated dates.

It seems pretty straight forward right? The group benefits from the proceeds earned the community benefits from the group and Olga’s becomes an active part of the community and wows the crowd with excellent service and delicious food. Well that is exactly how it has been working since we started the program… until this past Wednesday July 8th.
Many of you reading this are probably from the greater Metro Detroit area and may have heard the tragic story of a local girl who was found dead after having gone missing for several weeks. The community where the young girl lived has been so profoundly touched by her loss that they created a children’s funeral fund at the Community Foundation of Monroe County for local families who cannot afford funeral expenses on their own.

Supporters of that fund reached out to Olga’s hoping we would hold a fundraiser to help raise money for their cause. We were quick to oblige and intended to donate the usual 15% of the total bill of each person who presented a flyer at our four restaurants in the immediate community where the girl’s family lives on July 8th. We designed the flyers and promoted the event on our Facebook page and were ready to operate business as usual on the 8th.

Enter - the awesome power of the human heart. So many people outside the immediate community where the girl lived have vested feelings in her story that our “little” fundraiser caught the eye of the local news affiliates and a few bloggers. Before we knew it momentum behind the event was reaching into areas with restaurants that weren’t originally slated as participants. It seems that the human spirit is the supreme medium of promotion.

Using our Facebook page we were able to successfully communicate our intent to expand the fundraiser to include any of our restaurants. The exact amount of money we were able to raise hasn’t yet been tallied but because of the great people of the Metro Detroit community you can rest assured that it will be much more then originally thought. Everyone at Olga’s has been blown away by the sympathy and support that has been directed towards this cause. Proof positive that no matter how hard times can get great things can happen when people unite around a common good.

Justice the Yemen way . . .

Yemen Executes Man For Rape, Murder of 11-Year-Old

Monday , July 06, 2009

AP

SAN'A, Yemen —
 
The Yemen news agency reports that a barber has been publicly executed after he was found guilty of raping and killing an 11-year-old boy who came to his shop for a haircut.

Pictures of the execution Monday in the capital of San'a showed hundreds of people gathered around as Yehya Hussein was killed.

The pictures showed the barber lying face down on a large piece of red cloth, his hands bound behind him, as a Yemeni police official stood over him with what appeared to be a machine gun and shot him four times.

According to the news agency, SAB'A, the barber was arrested in December 2008 and confessed during a January trial to raping the boy inside his salon, killing him and cutting his body to pieces before dumping it outside San'a.

I really hope the article is accurate that the investigation is still ongoing.  Why are results taking this long if they said that the forensics lab has this case a  priority?  Surely LE has details already and is just making sure their case is solid before they make their move.

Oh, I'm sure it is Rose.  It really hasn't been all that long, to be honest with you.  We're all impatient--I want nothing more than to log onto this site or a news site and read about an arrest.

Anyway, there are certain very complex toxicology tests that, because of the nature of the test, the results take a good bit of time to process.  It's a waiting game.  That's likely what they are waiting for so they can close the loop on the cause of death.  I think they pretty much have everything else squared away and are working "behind the scenes" to bring everything together.

Justice will prevail for Nevaeh.

Hi everyone. I wanted to thankyou for your congrats and I also wanted to reply to the post why it is taking so long to get some news from LE. It takes time to get everything right that will be excepted in a court of law as far as evidence. There is a lot of evidence that is brought into the court room that can prove someones innocents or guilt that is not even heard by the jury or judge because of some freak technocality and we can not afford that to happen so the longer they take to get it all right is ok with me. Once everything is ok with the judge as far as physical, and material evidence and there is enough proof on a suspect than there will be justice for little Nevaeh, that precious little angel ::MonkeyAngel::

Nevaeh's family waits for justice, hopes for healing

By TOM HENRY
BLADE STAFF WRITER

MONROE - Five weeks later, and Sherry Buchanan still doesn't know what to do with her hands during the time of night when her granddaughter, Nevaeh Buchanan, would be going to bed if she were still alive.

Why was an innocent 5-year-old kidnapped and slain? What kind of suffering did the little girl endure before her body was found June 4 in concrete along the River Raisin's shoreline? How could a monster so sick and twisted possibly remain at large in Monroe?

Those are questions that Buchanan family members internalize as they mourn. They yearn for psychological healing, but they can't envision the day it will come.

Since Nevaeh was laid to rest in Monroe's St. Joseph Cemetery a month ago tomorrow, devastated family members have been left with voids in their hearts and nothing but time on their hands.

They're waiting for autopsy results.

They're waiting for an arrest.

They're waiting for a conviction.

They're waiting for justice.

But even if they get all of those, there's no guarantee they'll ever get peace of mind.

Sherry Buchanan, Nevaeh's grandmother and legal guardian, said she misses watching Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob Squarepants with her in their apartment at the Charlotte Arms complex.

"It's hard to come home at night and not have that baby here to greet me," Ms. Buchanan said. "That was my life."

Nevaeh disappeared May 24, setting off a search that involved hundreds of authorities and volunteers and gained nationwide media exposure before ending with the tragic result.

The child and her grandmother shared the apartment's only bedroom.

Nevaeh slept in a toddler bed next to her grandmother's. Her bedtime routine consisted of having Grandma roll on her side, reach down, and lovingly brush away her hair.

The girl loved being soothed like that each night, Ms. Buchanan said.

Since the kidnapping, Ms. Buchanan has slept on her couch. She said she cannot bear to re-enter her bedroom, save for a few minutes now and then to retrieve clothes from her closet.

She told a detective that her 53-year-old body aches from mourning.

And waiting.

"It feels like my insides are eating me up," Ms. Buchanan said.

It's not the pain in her gut that bothers her the most, though.

It's the absence of Nevaeh's soft hair passing through her fingers at night.

Relatives in mourning
Across town at the Willow Green Mobile Home Park, one of Ms. Buchanan's sisters, Cathy DeWilde, 55, and her husband, Norman DeWilde, 57, share the family's grief.

Sherry and Nevaeh lived with the couple for three months before Sherry got the apartment at Charlotte Arms.

"That baby touched a lot of peoples' lives," Mr. DeWilde, Nevaeh's great-uncle, said.

Nevaeh loved watching Westerns with him, films that Mr. DeWilde describes as "cowboy shows."

He figures he's seen almost every Western made for television. He can't bring himself to watch them now.

He and Nevaeh were famous for raiding the DeWilde freezer for flavored ice pops.

"They would eat them by the box," Ms. DeWilde said.

Now, every time the DeWildes go to a grocery store, they think of Nevaeh.

The DeWildes and the Buchanans have quietly started a campaign to have a permanent marker placed at the site where Nevaeh's body was found.

Ms. DeWilde said a tribute beside the river is important "so that parents don't lie back and stop watching their kids when they're outside."

The body was at a popular fishing spot along the River Raisin outside of Ida.

The site is eerily serene and beautiful, considering what happened there.

Trees and tall grasses fill a riverbank so steep that it is a challenge for those unfamiliar with it to navigate their way to the bottom.

The body was in a clearing of exposed rock and clay.

Mr. DeWilde said he has visited the site about a dozen times since June 4, using a rope to rappel himself down to the shoreline.

"Each time I come out, it doesn't get any easier," he said. "You would think it would, but it doesn't."

The site has become an unofficial memorial, with dozens of newly donated toys and stuffed animals dropped off by anonymous donors.

There's also a drawing of Nevaeh and a hand-scrawled Scripture passage, plus a board signed by well-wishers trying to raise money for steps or some sort of marker themselves.

Family members said they would be touched if the community would come together with a permanent display, although they haven't settled on the details.

Mr. DeWilde said he would like to have it remain accessible to fishermen without installing steps.

One of Ms. Buchanan's sisters, Diana Lawson, 57, said she wants steps installed so that more people with mobility limits, including herself, can go down to the riverbank and pray.

A growing collection
Mr. DeWilde said the collection of tributes grows each time he visits it, as does one on top of the cemetery grave where Nevaeh's body was put to rest.

The makeshift burial site along the riverbank where Nevaeh's body was concealed is a recessed cavity that silt can reach when the river crests, a mere step or two from the water.

As the memorial grows, results of Nevaeh's autopsy, including the cause of her death, still have not been released.

Kerry McCafferty, a spokesman for the FBI in Detroit, said the agency continues to work the case with its law enforcement partners in Monroe County.

Several people were identified as persons of interest after Nevaeh disappeared, but no one new has been named in the case, he said.

Shattered lives
Family members are at a loss to know how they will pull their lives back together.

The ordeal, including the media exposure, seems like such a blur.

Ms. Buchanan said she's still not over the death of her husband, James, who succumbed to colon cancer in 1996. "I miss him with all my heart," she said.

But the Buchanans said they are hoping to produce a compact disc of music in Nevaeh's memory, including a song written for her funeral by a local artist, John Voss.

Ms. Buchanan said her son, Michael, 26, is producing the CD.

Proceeds from it would be split between the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis and a Monroe County fund dedicated to victims of child abuse, she said.

Shortly after Nevaeh's funeral, not long after reporters stopped camping out in the Charlotte Arms parking lot, management at the apartment complex told the family to dismantle the mammoth memorial that had sprung up around a prominent tree.

Nine bags of stuffed animals and other trinkets were donated to the agency that provides protective services to Monroe County children, the Buchanans said.

The family has a 20-inch bicycle that Nevaeh got for Christmas but was never able to ride.

Mike Buchanan was just about to buy her training wheels for it when she vanished.

Ms. Buchanan said her daughter, Jennifer Buchanan, 24, Nevaeh's mother, is now living with a friend.

Family members said she was too upset to comment.

Jennifer had lived with her mother and Nevaeh sporadically since being released from jail for her involvement in a break-in.

She served 11 months in jail after pleading guilty to two counts of home invasion in 2006.

Ms. Buchanan said she was granted custody of her grandchild while her daughter was in jail.

Nevaeh's grandmother returned to her job as a cashier at a local Food Town supermarket 2 1/2 weeks ago after taking a month off because of the tragedy.

She hoped her job would distract her from the investigation, but found it only does in spurts.

She said she's grateful for the condolences offered by customers who recognize her as she rings up their purchases.

At the DeWilde home is a palm-sized remembrance that Mr. DeWilde made. It has a little toy car about the size of a thumbnail, a plastic figurine of a gorilla, a cross, and one of his favorite pictures of Nevaeh.

Its base is a chunk of concrete from the site where her body was found. Mr. DeWilde said he retrieved it from what authorities left behind.

As Shaun Lawson, Ms. Buchanan's nephew and Nevaeh's second cousin, put it: "We fear for the ones who forget. The minute they do so, they're the ones who are going to have this happen to them."

Thanks, pink angel. Those first few lines are hearbreaking-I don't like to think about that. I pray Nevaeh went quietly. I can't imagine the pain. My heart continues to bleed for this little girl. I tear up when I think about her. I can't believe such inhumanity shares the same planet. I just wish there was something I could say or do to make myself and others feel better. But the words just don't exist.

God Bless You Nevaeh. You've touched the hearts of many.

You know what makes it harder? I'm at the beach with my family this week. Kids are everywhere. I look at them playing in the sand, running in the water, screaming and laughing, and can't help but wonder how anyone can hurt them. It's just incomprehensible.

HMM- from what I remember, she moved out long ago. I can't remember the exact timeframe, but it was right around the time Nevaeh was found. I found that quite interesting myself. Besides blaming her for what happened, I'm left wondering whether there's more to it.

I really hope something breaks in this case soon.

God Bless You Nevaeh.

hi Jess....my thoughts too! my grand daughters are 11 months, 3 and 6 yrs old...and I can not imagine someone taking a child of any age and hurting them....when the 6 yr old and her 5 yr old twin friends were splashing around in the pool during vacation and laughing and playing...I did think about the little children that we have written about on here and I really felt sad....those little children should be doing the same things that these kids were doing...having a fun wonderful life! so sad that they are not....

5-year-old Nevaeh may have been buried alive, autopsy results reveal
Dirt in lungs reveals clues to girl's death

BY AMBER HUNT • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • July 14, 2009

Updated at 6:40 p.m.

Nevaeh Buchanan — the 5-year-old Monroe girl who was kidnapped, killed, then buried on the banks of the River Raisin under a layer of concrete — might have been buried alive, results from an autopsy indicate.

The girl’s cause of death has been ruled asphyxiation; the manner, homicide, a source told the Free Press.

Nevaeh’s aunt, Diana Lawson, confirmed that the family had been told by police that the little girl might have been alive when she was placed in a shallow grave along the River Raisin in Raisinville Township.

“It’s the worst nightmare,” Lawson told the Free Press. “All we can do is take it one step at a time.”

Testing on the girl’s body, including her lungs, show that she died after inhaling dirt. Authorities previously reported that she had no outward signs of trauma — such as broken bones or other wounds — that illuminated how she died.

Fishermen found Nevaeh’s body on June 4, 10 days after she disappeared from outside her Monroe apartment complex.

The disappearance prompted a region-wide search that turned up empty. It wasn’t until two men felt concrete crumbling beneath them as they fished on the riverbank that the girl was discovered.

Nevaeh was laid to rest a month ago Monday after a funeral attended by hundreds. Nevaeh’s mother and grandmother, Jennifer and Sherry Buchanan, are heartbroken, Lawson said.

“Sherry’s at work and she’s not ready even to come home,” said Lawson at about 6 p.m., as media people began swarming the apartment complex parking lot where the women live. “They can’t face this.”

No one has been arrested in the slaying. Anyone with information is asked to call 734-243-7070.

The family found out through the media. Not from the Sheriff. It was a "leak".

An autopsy showed that Nevaeh Buchanan died of choking on dirt and perhaps even was buried alive, officials confirmed tonight.
Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said he received the autopsy results today.
"The autopsy results have revealed that Nevaeh’s death was caused by aspiration of fine particulate material (dirt)," the sheriff said in a statement. "This means that Nevaeh’s face was forcibly maintained or embedded into a dirt surface. Whether this resulted from another person forcibly pressing her face into dirt or whether she was buried alive could not be determined."
The Rev. Dale Hayford, who has provided spiritual support for the family throughout the ordeal, said they knew for some time that the 5-year-old could have been buried alive but the police confirmed that possibility today.
"They’re just stunned," Pastor Hayford said. "Everybody’s stunned."
Nevaeh disappeared from the Charlotte Arms Apartments on N. Macomb St. Memorial Day weekend and her body was found two weeks later on June 4. Fishermen stumbled across a crude, shallow grave along the River Raisin that was covered with concrete.
The site near Dixon Rd. has become another memorial for the little girl after the first, near the apartment complex, was taken down. Her mother, Jennifer Buchanan, had said the stuffed animals that made up a large part of the memorial at the complex were donated.
Sheriff Crutchfield said investigators still are working on the case daily, following tips and conducting interviews.

BLOCKED WEBSITE



How can they say she didn't suffer? Neither of the possibilities in my mind scream "didn't suffer".

I have been sick to my stomach for most of the day, after learning of this news. I can't imagine the grief, horror and pain Nevaeh's family is going through. It's just one evil, horrific detail after another...

I pray you didn't suffer little one. I pray it was quick and painless for you, Nevaeh. That you were possibly unconscious and had no idea what was happening or going to happen to you, is what I pray for.

We are all standing tall for you baby girl. We will not rest until the monster or monsters that did this to you is/are arrested and behind bars. As death is not an option for them, we all pray they are found guilty and spend the rest of their lives, rotting in a jail cell, haunted by the evil that they have done and their after life burning in hell forevermore.

I have been at peace since Nevaeh came to me in a dream one night...this new news, will haunt my days and my nights once again.

I am so sorry baby girl. My heart breaks for you and my tears flow for you once again. It's going to be okay though. You are safe with God and at peace...playing in heaven with all the other baby angels. Please wrap your angel wings around your family and whisper words of love to them, as they are in pain tonight.

Nevaeh may have been buried alive
Girl, 5, died of asphyxiation, inhaled dirt, autopsy shows

MONROE - Nevaeh Buchanan, the murdered 5-year-old Monroe girl whose body was discovered by fishermen last month, may have been buried along the River Raisin alive, authorities said yesterday.

Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said autopsy results released by the Wayne County medical examiner showed the girl died of asphyxiation and had inhaled dirt into her lungs.

Nevaeh's body was found June 4 buried in a shallow grave and encased in concrete. She had been missing for 11 days.

Sheriff Crutchfield said last night that the girl may have been buried alive or held down in the dirt, causing her to suffocate. The autopsy showed that the body had no trauma such as broken bones or bruises, he said.

http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090715/NEWS02/907150347



The sheriff said the exact day or time of her death couldn't be determined, but the autopsy indicated she died shortly after she was discovered to be missing from her home. "I can't give you a day or time. But it would have been soon after she disappeared. Within a window of a day or so, if not on that very same evening."

No one has been arrested. Her funeral was held one month ago this week.
Nevaeh had been riding a scooter in the parking lot of the Charlotte Arms apartment complex on North Macomb Street in Monroe shortly before she was reported missing on the evening of May 24.


She lived in the apartment complex with her mother, Jennifer Buchanan, and grandmother Sherry Buchanan.

A Newport, Mich., man and his stepfather who were fishing along the river in Raisinville Township kicked loose the freshly poured concrete to expose part of the girl's body, extinguishing the family's hope of finding the girl alive.

Diana Lawson, Nevaeh's great-aunt, said detectives went yesterday to the Food Town in Monroe where her sister Sherry Buchanan works to discuss the autopsy findings. "They said to her Nevaeh was buried alive," Ms. Lawson said. "She had a little dirt in her throat. She didn't suffer anything."

She said her sister became very emotional after sheriff's detectives told her about how her granddaughter had died.

"She had tears streaming down her cheeks. She's very upset," Ms. Lawson said.

Shaun Lawson, Ms. Lawson's son and Nevaeh's cousin, said she was found face-down in the shallow grave and naked, with her clothes tucked underneath her.

Sheriff Crutchfield said he wouldn't comment on whether the victim was found naked or sexually assaulted. "We aren't discussing those types of details," he said.

The sheriff said toxicology testing conducted by the medical examiner's office showed that she wasn't drugged.


Ms. Lawson said Nevaeh's 24-year-old mother, Jennifer, was inside the Charlotte Arms apartment complex last night and was "not taking it easy" upon hearing about the autopsy.

Shane Hinojosa, Nevaeh's father, learned of the autopsy results from media reports, said his mother, Carla Elliotte.

"He is devastated," she said.

Sherry Buchanan was at work last night and declined to comment.

Ms. Lawson and her son last night renewed their appeal for state lawmakers to institute the death penalty in Michigan for murder.

"I want to see him suffer in a slow death," Ms. Lawson said.

Mr. Lawson said that state taxpayers will end up footing the bill if the killer or killers are arrested and convicted.

"This guy, if they catch him, will end up getting three meals a day and watching cable TV," he said. "The person needs to be caught. That is the main thing. Until the person is caught, every child in this community is in danger."

When asked if there was any solace to autopsy findings that Nevaeh may have died unconscious and didn't suffer trauma, Mr. Lawson said: "It makes it worse. She was buried alive. That's got to be the cruelest way to go - to have all that fear in you when you are dying."

A task force of local, state, and federal investigators has received more than 1,200 tips since the girl's disappearance.

Investigators are continuing to ask the public for help in developing leads and are asking for tips and information on vehicles or anyone who had fished along the river bank near Dixon Road, about halfway between Monroe and Dundee. They are asked to call the task force tip line at 734-243-7070.

"We continue to interview people daily. We are working on tips and they lead us to other tips. We have to clarify those tips and move on," the sheriff said.

Sheriff Crutchfield said testing being conducted at the Michigan State Police Crime Laboratory on evidence recovered at the gravesite is ongoing. He refused to comment on what was found at the scene.

I agree Leroy...this is going to haunt me the rest of my life, just like Jessica Lunsford's death does...I can't stand to even think about how scared these little girls were...I pray that they were both in shock or unconscious so that they didn't have to realize what was happening to them...my heart is sad all over again...

I was talking to my sister about this today. She's been a nurse for many many years. She told me that this is not like drowning. She said what happens in a case like this is the brain slowly becomes oxygen deprived until you just fall asleep. She, too, doubts Navaeh "suffered." I put that in quotes because, well, you know why.

So sad, so very sad.  I can not even imagine the fright and fear that went through her little mind while she was being buried alive..or her head held in dirt. 

What kind of animal does something like this? I think that the DP needs to be reinstated, especially for heinous crimes against children.

How much did we look at Aaron Baker? That's where they took the carpet sample from last week. The neighbor up the stairs where Nevaeh was playing.

No Rose, I agree with you, but gain some comfort from knowing there were no visible signs of trauma. Had she been raped in the worst way, I don't think that would be the case. Perhaps she was assaulted though. I have my theories about motive, but they are speculative, so I rather not share them.

My hear truly goes out to Nevaeh. She will be in my heart forever, and I gain additional comfort believing that she knows that.

Pink Angel, that's the first I heard of the carpet sample. Very interesting, although if Nevaeh was up there playing you'd expect to find carpet fibers on her, except if they were in places they shouldn't be. It would make sense to check him out because the little boy's mother's story is inconsistent with what was previously said about what Nevaeh was doing at the time she went missing.

Here's the part that baffles me a bit. If what we are hearing is true her clothes were found with her. That provides for identification, which means the perp wanted her identified. Otherwise her clothes would have been found elsewhere or burned or something. I question why.

Task force furious over autopsy leak
Detroit media released Nevaeh's autopsy Tuesday

Updated: Wednesday, 15 Jul 2009, 4:57 PM EDT
Published : Wednesday, 15 Jul 2009, 4:18 PM EDT

MONROE, Mich. - Monroe County investigators are not happy with the leak of the autopsy results for Nevaeh Buchanan.

Although that information is generally public information, the Nevaeh task force, which is comprised of Monroe city, Monroe County, Michigan State Police, and the FBI, chose not to release the results.

The autopsy results were leaked to the Detroit Free Press, which published the report Tuesday afternoon..

The move sent investigators scrambling to notify Nevaeh's family and try to patch up this major blow to their investigation.

Monroe County Sheriff Det. Heath Velliquette said that his department is extremely upset that Nevaeh's autopsy results were leaked and made public. The results could hamper the task force's efforts in charging a suspect with the 5-year-old's murder.

Captain Ray Carroll, with the Toledo Police Department, has been a part of hundreds of investigations and knows how the leak of information can devastate a case.

"I'm sure that was key information they wanted to keep to themselves probably for a variety of reasons," Capt. Carroll said. "I don't know how the public is better off knowing those details they're extremely disturbing."

After the autopsy results were leaked about the 5-year-old Monroe girl, the Monroe Sheriff's Department did confirm late Tuesday that she died basically from inhaling dirt, possibly after being buried alive.

Before the leak the task force had not told Nevaeh's family how she died June 10.

"It's very upsetting and so traumatic and all of these people have heard it before me," Diane Lawson, Nevaeh's great aunt said Tuesday evening.

When detectives develop suspects in a case they keep information out of the public light that only they and the suspects know. Capt. Carroll said that is a valuable tool they may need to get a confession or make an arrest.

"Our job is to put the bad guy in jail," he said. "We're well aware that the news media is a competitive industry and we appreciate everything the media has done for us in getting information out there. We appreciate when news media understands why we don't put information out."

Meanwhile, neighbors say investigators snipped pieces of carpet from a nearby apartment last week to see if fibers match those found under the little girl’s fingernails.

Aaron Baker said today that officers cut out a piece of the tan carpet from the apartment where his 8-year-old son, Austin, played with Nevaeh just hours before the little girl disappeared.

“That way they had something to run a test on,” he said from the apartment across the hall and one floor up from Nevaeh’s, adding the same carpet covers the floors in Nevaeh’s home. Officials from the Monroe County Sheriff's had no comment, a spokeswoman said this morning.

Baker said he last saw Jennifer Buchanan outside the apartment two days ago, when she smiled as they passed on the sidewalk. He said his son still cries about his best friend’s death, especially when they turn on the computer at home and pictures of Nevaeh flash on the monitor.

“Every time it comes up, he breaks down,” Baker said.

http://www.freep.com/article/20090715/NEWS05/90715030/1007/NEWS/Relative--Where-is-Nevaeh-Buchanan-s-mother


He's the same guy that broke down and was weeping on video back when she was missing. Over emotional imo.

He also had a picture of Nevaeh on his cellphone. Police questioned him about it and the story he gave police was different that the one he told Shane, when Shane asked him about it.

The dude is creepy.

Death Penalty.  ::MonkeyCool::
No death penalty in Michigan  ::MonkeyNoNo::

No, because it is one of the "enlightened and liberal" states. Cruel to kill a criminal, not so much for a child.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

I will preface this with I live in Michigan. I am almost embarrassed to say that. When we need room in the jail/prison  we let the people out that are the SOs. I would go for the death penalty - especially for sex offenders that hurt kids.

Autopsy results showed Neveah Buchanan suffocated after inhaling dirt, according to the Associated Press, leaving investigators to believe she was still breathing when she was put into the crude grave along the banks of the River Raisin or her face was forcibly held in the dirt.

Nevaeh's body was found by fisherman June 4, wearing a shirt that matches the description of the clothing the little girl was last seen inbefore she disappeared from the parking lot of her Monroe, Mich., apartment complex on May 24.

Her family is now left to imagine the horrors Nevaeh experienced in her last moments alive.

"We will find out who did it," her great aunt Diana Lawson told ABC's Detroit affiliate WXYZ, "and you will see judgment day."

The search for 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan’s killer continues, as neighbors revealed today that investigators snipped pieces of carpet from a nearby apartment last week to see if fibers match those found under the girl’s fingernails.

Aaron Baker said today that officers cut out a piece of the tan carpet from the apartment where his 8-year-old son, Austin, played with Nevaeh hours before the little girl disappeared.

“That way they had something to run a test on,” he said from the apartment across the hall and one floor up from the Buchanans’ apartment.

He said the same carpet covers the floors in the apartment Nevaeh shared with her mother, Jennifer Buchanan, and her grandmother, Sherry Buchanan, who was the girl’s legal guardian because her mother was on probation for criminal problems.

Officials from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office declined comment today after some family members reported that investigators said the autopsy tests showed the girl was likely buried alive shortly after she disappeared May 24.

The girl was reported kidnapped from the Charlotte Arms apartment complex while her mother said she thought Nevaeh was riding her scooter. Two fishermen found Nevaeh’s body on June 4, buried in concrete mix and dirt by the River Raisin.

Now relatives are waiting to hear whether she was molested, said Shaun Lawson, Jennifer Buchanan’s cousin.

“All they’ve said is she was buried alive,” Lawson said. “There’s more tests still to be done. As much evidence as they collected, they’re waiting on evidence to come back.”

Earlier today, Lawson’s mother, Diana Lawson, expressed concern about Jennifer Buchanan’s whereabouts. She said she had not seen Nevaeh’s mother for three or four days.

However, Buchanan appeared briefly this afternoon but did not speak with the news media.

Baker said his son still cries about his best friend’s death, especially when they turn on the computer and pictures of Nevaeh flash on the monitor. “Every time it comes up, he breaks down,” Baker said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office at 734-243-7070.

it is interesting about the neighbor and carpet samples being taken from his home...I thought that he was a bit over the top when interviewed but it was an emotional time...I sure hope that he is not involved in any way for his son's sake for one...
this is just such a disturbing case in so many ways....I sure hope that Jess is right and that justice will be served...what is taking so long? seems that they should have tons of clues, evidence from the crime scene...
God bless this tiny angel....

They need to close all the loops, Cookie. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt means different things to different people. So you go with the highest interpretation of the standard, and that means dotting all the I's and crossing all the t's. Scientific evidence takes time. We need to remain patient, let law enforcement do its work, and hopefully the media will shut their pie holes. They don't need to be tipping people off for the sake of ratings. Sometimes the most seemingly innocuous leak can set an investigation back.

Oh Lord...when I heard that about little Nevaeh's being (probably) buried alive, cold chills just went thru me. I looked over at my mom, and she looked absolutely sick. Isn't it enough to terrorize and murder an innocent little girl--how could anyone, even someone that evil, actually bury a child alive?!

Then I thought back to that monster Couey, who did precisely the same thing to beautiful little Jessica Lunsford (may she rest in peace).

There is no hell hot enough for things who commit crimes like these!!  :smt093

Hunt for killer continues
by Ray Kisonas , last modified July 15. 2009 11:08AM

Autopsy results show Nevaeh Buchanan might have been buried alive, but police officials say it was not determined if the 5-year-old was conscious when she was placed in a shallow grave.
The horrific ending to the Monroe girl's short life occurred on the banks of the River Raisin, an autopsy report showed, but it was not clear if Nevaeh's face was pressed into dirt until she stopped breathing or if she was awake when she choked and suffocated while trying to breathe.
For the family, the grief continues. The police confirmed on Tuesday what they had believed for some time.
"She was buried alive, for God's sake," said Shaun Lawson, Nevaeh's uncle. "This person needs to be caught. Something needs to be done."
Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said that the task force remains intact and that the FBI continues to be involved in the case until an arrest is made.
"This continues to be our highest priority," Sheriff Crutchfield said. "We aren't going to let off at all."
Nevaeh disappeared from her Charlotte Arms apartment on May 24, which was Memorial Day weekend. Eleven days later, fishermen found her body buried in a shallow grave on the banks of the river near Dixon Rd.
The results of the autopsy were released Tuesday and Sheriff Crutchfield said in a prepared statement that the death was by aspiration of fine particulate material (dirt).
"This means that Nevaeh's face was forcibly maintained or embedded into a dirt surface," he wrote. "Whether this resulted from another person forcibly pressing her face into dirt or whether she was buried alive could not be determined."
The sheriff said later that investigators are still waiting for results of testing being completed by the Michigan State Police crime lab.
He maintained his policy of not releasing certain specific information, such as if Nevaeh was sexually assaulted, what type of evidence had been collected and if a prime suspect has been developed.
The sheriff said it is vital to the investigation that details known only by the suspect and investigators are kept as secretive as possible.
"We're not releasing information and certain test results for a reason," Sheriff Crutchfield said. He added that he still believes the person involved with Nevaeh's abduction and murder was a local person or someone who is familiar with the area based on where she was buried.
Sheriff Crutchfield said the task force is continuing to follow leads and tips, although they have slowed in recent weeks. He urged the public to call, especially anyone who has fished in the area where the body was located or if anyone has seen vehicles or people at that location on or around June 4.
"We're all dedicated to solving this issue," Sheriff Crutchfield said. "We will continue full speed ahead until it is resolved."
Meanwhile the family was forced to endure another round of terrible news when police Tuesday confirmed Nevaeh's cause of death. For Mr. Lawson, the results only strengthened his desire for the death penalty to be adopted in Michigan.
"Every child in this community is in danger," Mr. Lawson said. "It's not safe right now."
The Rev. Dale Hayford, who has provided spiritual support for the family throughout the ordeal, said they knew for some time that it is is possible she could have been buried alive. He said he was with family members when they met with a detective Tuesday.
"They're just stunned," the Rev. Hayford said. "Everybody's stunned."

*sarcasm alert*  you can always count on the media to show compassion and restraint when writing about things like this. Do we really need the sensationalism and descriptions of how this reporter envisioned this happening?  Show some compassion for the family for God's sake.

God Bless You Nevaeh

I'm with you Cookie. And for many many reasons, I truly believe that is the case. I just can't find it in me to explain why I believe that because it makes me way too emotional. But the facts as we know them support the conclusion that Nevaeh was more likely than not unconscious.

God Bless You Nevaeh.

Unless she was restrained in some way, I would have to believe that she was unconscious....otherwise, she would have fought to get out of the hole right?? and she would have had alot more dirt in her throat from panic...or maybe not.  I just dont know and still pray that she was not aware of what was about to happen to her.

I heard that about the clothes previously. I heard other versions as well, all supposedly confirmed by reporters as having come from LE to the family. As JVM and most of the local reporters seem to be all about the hype and little about the concern for the emotional fact that we're talking about a five year old child, I don't believe anything they say. I wait to hear it come straight from LE.

I agree..many times the press likes to make bad things more gruesome then they already are..I think the comment by the grandmother that LE is keeping many test results and info to themselves is probably the most accurate. 

I hope they are able to make a break in this case soon to tie the killer (s) to the evidence they have found.

Something tells me that the person that killed Nevaeh, is someone Nevaeh knew. A stranger is not going to leave her alive while burying her on top of her clothes where she could get an air pocket to breath for a little while. This is not what a child molester would do. My gut feeling tells me that this was some how a setup that went wrong and the person that did this ran out of time for what ever reason they did this. But that is only a gut feeling. I could be wrong. It just seems unusual for a child molester and leave her buried alive in that manner.
Or it could have been a way to throw off LE on evidence thinking that she would not be found for a while and eventually the grave site would have broke off into the river and throw the time off when she was put there and time of death, because bodies found in the river make a time of death difficult. This is someone that is very very clever and knows a little about the law and evidence and how it works or watches a lot of CSI shows and gets ideas and learns from the mistakes of others. Either way I look at it this is a very unusual way to hide or dispose of a victim. Most criminals will just throw them into the river and not go through all the trouble of getting concrete and putting her that close to the river with out expecting something to happen in a certain amount of time. The person that did this wanted something out of this crime, what that is, I don't know? I was so horrified to find out that Nevaeh was put in that shallow grave possibly alive and had to suffer in that manner and the person that did this, I hope is suffering with their own guilt and will live with the nightmares for the rest of their life. It would only be a heartless, emothionless, and very dangerous person that wouldn't

Naveah Autopsy Report
Story Published: Jul 16, 2009 at 11:46 AM PDT

A month after she was found... Navaeh Buchanan's autopsy results are released... The details and reaction of the news are tonight's big story. The shock continues tonight for members of the Monroe County Family. They are still reeling from the latest news regarding the murder of their loved one. My TV 20's Dave Leval tells us how little Navaeh Buchanan died.

"Our family is upset, we're hurting."

Things seem to be getting worse for Diana Lawson and her family. Her niece, Navaeh Buchanan vanished from her Monroe home May 24th. Authorities found the body of the five year old 11 days later. Navaeh was murdered.

Diana Lawson/Navaeh's Great Aunt
"They're traumatized, they're very upset."

Fishermen discovered Navaeh's body buried under concret along a rural section of the River Raisin. Preliminary autopsy results indicate Navaeh may have been buried alive.

Monroe Sheriff's invetigators tell us the killer pressed her face into the dirt. Navaeh died after she inhaled dirt.

Shaun Lawson/Navaeh's Cousin
"Makes it hard to sleep at night, when you get that image in your mind. Close your eyes, go to sleep, that's all you see."

Navaeh's killer remains on the loose. Meanwhile, more memorials are placed near the site where her body was found. They honor a child taken from her friends and loved ones far too soon. In Monroe, Dave Leval, My TV 20 News at 10.

Relatives tell us they don't know where Navaeh's mother is staying. But, they did talk to her yesterday. Investigators have followed up on more than 12 hundred tips since Navaeh's disappearance and murder. You're asked to call Monroe County Deputies with any information.

One other comment, and I'm done.   ::MonkeyCool::  Why would the investigation team reveal this supposed "fact" only to this reporter, but tell everyone else that it could not be determined?  I'm sorry, but this guy is an idiot.

Thanks Cookie.  I appreciate the comments.  Sometimes reporters just p-me off.  It's amazing at how little compassion they show in the face of such a heinous crime.  In one breath they talk about how devastating the situation is for the family, and then in another editorialize and speculate about the few facts LE has released to paint the most heartbreaking picture imaginable in total disregard for the family's feelings.  They choose what they hear and what they report to fit their agenda.  It only makes a bad situation worse.  It really makes my blood boil.  After all, this case is about Nevaeh and finding her killer, which I am confident will happen.  It's not about a news story or a race to win the Pulitzer Prize.  It's about a murdered 5 year old little girl, God Bless Her Soul, and obtaining Justice for Her.

That's the God's honest truth. Very short on substance. They take what little has been released and milk it to the bitter end. It gets painful to watch.

I'm really praying hard for word of an arrest. I have this feeling in my gut that it's coming soon. It's just a hunch-but I hope it's an accurate one. This little girl deserves Justice soon-like all children do.

I definitely think LE knows something. I continue to think that they are dotting I's and crossing T's. These are very complicated cases. It's vitally important that all ducks are in a row before they make their move because they only get one bite at the apple. They have to make sure they've built a strong case before they move. It is important that they keep facts that only the killer can know top secret (which is why I repeatedly take issue with reporters who purport to be in the know-bulls***). And they are doing just that.

I have 2 schools of thought on motive and one involves "mom" directly. The other involves her peripherally.

If it is true that Nevaeh was found without her clothes, she was not wearing clothes for one reason, that alone tells me Nevaeh suffered.  ::MonkeyNoNo:: No way did this child not suffer.

  I hope you don't mind me comment here but from the day following Nevaeh's obduction I began meditating on the case as a psychic, and I believe that Nevaeh was killed soon after the abduction and I have been told by those in the spirit world that she was sexually molested and this upset me very much like it does everyone.

  I too believe the death penalty should be resinstated in cases like this.

  Nevaeh has appeared to me in spirit and she loves her mother and grandmother and other relatives and does not want them to suffer but of course they do just like everyone does in a case like this.

  I would like to tell you a story here that may say Nevaeh spoke to me again, from the spirit world.

  I had some paranormal investigators to my home shortly after this case but for other reasons and they had cameras and recorders and I had been telling them about the case I was meditating on and as we talked a small girls voice came in from spirit and it said clearly:

  "I'm going to bed now nity nite"
  I write this because perhaps Nevaeh's Grandmother or Mother knows if Nevaeh said these things to them when she retired at night and if the answer yes this message could help them to better deal with their grief to know that Nevaeh spoke in such a happy cherry voice and seems to be adjusting to her death with the help of guides and God and her deceased relatives in the after life who always wait for us and help us upon our arrival.

  I am hoping this message can reach Nevaeh's grandmother and others who are suffering and maybe it will help them deal with their grief and loss of such a beautiful little girl who left the earth plane much too soon.

Popping in hoping there was something new in this case, I see we are still waiting for arrest(s)?

I hope to god they have the evidence to lead to an arrest.

Me too, Tracygirl.  I can't stand the thought of the person getting away with this.  But I strongly believe that will not happen--there will be an arrest.  There will be JUSTICE FOR NEVAEH.  While the silence is deafening, it's a good thing.  LE needs to keep everything close to the vest to build the strongest case possible.  And with today's technology, it's not easy to hide.  Something will break soon.  I just hope the media doesn't sensationalize when something finally happens.  I hope they remember that the focus is a little girl and obtaining justice for her rather than their own self-interests.

God Bless You Nevaeh.

We can hope that Jess but we know it won't happen (regarding the media showing restraint) News is becoming more about the headline and sensationalism and less about the actual news or facts.

I don't want to think about the future headlines once the full autopsy results are announced. It will just make me even more upset. I feel bad for Nevaeh's family, having to read them or hear them over and over on every channel. Hopefully they shield themselves from the coverage. It's hard enough living the nightmare let alone watching it or reading all it's details, topped with a giant splash of sensationalism and liberal use of overly descriptive adjectives, added in clearly for shock value.

Monroe being a small town, I have found her newspaper's coverage to be the most focused and most respectful of Nevaeh. (jmo)

Re: How quiet it has been.,

The lack of headlines is good for the investigation (sucks for us). It allows them to focus on the investigation. I think they are waiting for forensics still from the second round of testing and like you said Jess, tying all that they have in a nice little package.

Time was of utmost importance when it came to finding Nevaeh. She is an angel baby now and safe, time isn't as important anymore. Justice takes time. 

Justice will come for Nevaeh though. I truly believe that.

Me too, Tracygirl.  I can't stand the thought of the person getting away with this.  But I strongly believe that will not happen--there will be an arrest.  There will be JUSTICE FOR NEVAEH.  While the silence is deafening, it's a good thing.  LE needs to keep everything close to the vest to build the strongest case possible.  And with today's technology, it's not easy to hide.  Something will break soon.  I just hope the media doesn't sensationalize when something finally happens.  I hope they remember that the focus is a little girl and obtaining justice for her rather than their own self-interests.

God Bless You Nevaeh.

Very well said, Pink Angel.  Nevaeh is an angel baby now, and safe.  And you're absolutely right--time isn't as important anymore.  Justice is more important than anything else.  I'm hoping law enforcement continues to keep a lid on things, especially forensic evidence.  That should stay secret for the good of the investigation and to ensure a conviction. 

God Bless You Nevaeh.   ::MonkeyAngel::

Nevaeh Buchanan Task Force lists latest report
, last modified July 25. 2009 1:28AM

The Nevaeh Buchanan Task Force issued a press release Friday that discusses the number of tips it has received to date and attempts to clear up some rumors that have been talked about in regards to the investigation.
The task force reports it is continuing to follow up on the more than 1,200 tips and resulting leads on the case, in which the 5-year-old Monroe girl went missing May 24 and was found dead June 4.
"Only partial results have been received on the analysis of evidence recovered at the gravesite and submitted to the Michigan State Police Crime Laboratory," the notice said.
In the meantime, the task force reports there is a rumor circulating "in the news community" that a driver's license of George Kennedy was found in the River Raisin. Mr. Kennedy was reported as a person of interest early in the investigation.
However, the story as related in the rumor is not correct.
Here is what the officers are saying: "An expired state of Michigan identification card belonging to George Kennedy was found by a passerby on Wednesday, July 22, in a small creek alongside Telegraph Road near where Kennedy was residing. It does not appear to have any significance to the Buchanan investigation."

ID card found in creek not seen as relevant to Nevaeh investigation

MONROE - An expired state of Michigan identification card that was found Wednesday in a small creek along Telegraph Road does not appear to have any relevance to the ongoing investigation surrounding the slaying of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan, according to a statement issued by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.

The document belonged to George Kennedy, 39, a registered sex offender who has been described by authorities as a boyfriend of the child's mother, Jennifer Buchanan, and a "person of interest" in the case.

Nevaeh disappeared from the Charlotte Arms apartment complex in Monroe on May 24. Her body was found miles away June 4 along the River Raisin shoreline near Ida, Mich.

Kennedy and two other men identified as persons of interest have not been charged in her disappearance or death. Authorities have not named them or anyone else as suspects.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office said the ID card was found by a passerby, but "does not appear to have any significance to the Buchanan investigation."

A task force of multiple agencies has been reviewing more than 1,200 tips, the sheriff's office said.

From what I understand, it was not found anywhere near where Nevaeh was found. It was found near a stream that was close to where GK lived. While I really can't comment on it's potential relevancy, I found it interesting that the task force would issue a presser to quell a single rumor.

I come and check in everyday hoping for an arrest, and I find this very interesting, yes, why would they issue a presser to quell a single rumor. Almost like kind of hinting, but not hinting that this person had something to do with Nevaeh's murder.

Still no arrests in this case? I hope LE is building something solid. IMO it feels like they almost have too much evidence to work with.

The mom seems a little suspicious in my opinion. Maybe she's a drug addict and that's why she seems so disconnected from her own daughter's murder.

I hope justice is swift for Nevaeh.

Hi TG!  Hope all is well with you.  Nope, still no arrest.  Although I read in an article on MSNBC that they LE is asking family a lot of questions, and they are looking to question a woman that was close to Roy Smith and George Kennedy.  I'll see if I can find the link. I'm still convinced that Roy Smith knows who did this. 

God Bless You Nevaeh-Our Little Angel.

Lawson said police have also re-questioned her about Nevaeh's mom. "They asked where did Jennifer go, who was she with? Those are some of the little questions."

Investigators said they plan to question a woman who has ties to George Kennedy and Roy Smith. Both Kennedy and Smith are convicted sex offenders and have been named people of interest in the case because they had contact with Nevaeh's mother.

what is taking so long in this case?? the LE must have some idea of who did this...the LE must feel confident that whoever murdered Nevaeh is not a danger to other children in that area wouldn't you think? otherwise wouldn't they be saying something like, keep your children in your site at all times, beware of the danger out there...this murderer could still be in the area etc etc...

The county fair is going on in Monroe and tonight is demo derby.

Marlow of Raisinville Township (right) and his friend, Kent VanEeckhoutte of Erie, worked on an old Crown Victoria, decorating it as a tribute to Nevaeh Buchanan with her portrait and some of her favorites, such as SpongeBob and motorcycles. Mr. Marlow, who has a young granddaughter also named Nevaeh, says the tribute idea came to him as he was prepping the vehicle for tonight’s demolition derby. “This is just for her,” he says.

What a beautiful tribute. I am sure Nevaeh, Robert and all her angel friends will be watching and oooo'ing and ahhh'ing at the demo derby tonight, rooting her car on. The thought of that makes me smile and I need a smile today.

You are in my heart, thoughts and prayers, little one.

Hi cookie. I'm doing fine, thanks. Although these kids are really taking an emotional toll on me. Interestingly, on Prime News HLN this evening, JVM was on commenting about how many children have been in the news lately, and about how something needs to be done. Perhaps the media is FINALLY going to take notice. That's a silver lining I suppose. I also made a post in the Sandra thread about a teacher that was just sentenced in San Joaquin County to 75 years to life for molesting 4 little girls ages 7 to 9. I'm not sure the sentence would have been that harsh had it not been for Sandra. So perhaps that's a silver lining too. I'd love to see a trio for the week and see Lindsey come home safely. I'd be happier yet to see Huckaby get indicted and Nevaeh's and Robert's killers caught. What a wish list, huh?  I should be wishing for much happier things.

well, 75 years to life for molesting those little girls is good enough for him!! I will go read about that one..the stiffer the sentences are for these freaks, the better...

She was on my mind too. I couldn't sleep last night. All that has gone on the past couple days with Robert, brought me right back to the day Nevaeh was found. 

Little man's body being ID'd by the coroner 2 months to the day that our angel was found along the river, made it especially difficult for me.

I can't believe it's been two months already. Something has to break soon. I am praying LE is just waiting on forensics to make an arrest and that Nevaeh's murderer is brought to justice.

Nevaeh has a young cousin named Evan. I am not sure how old he is, he looks to be 15 or 16. He lives in Detroit and is related though Nevaeh's daddy side of the family. He found Nevaeh's FB group awhile back and he must message me through FB at least once a week, asking if I have heard anything new. He is so worried that there hasn't been an arrest yet and that he thinks Nevaeh needs more media coverage. I have to keep reassuring him that justice takes time and that even though we haven't heard anything doesn't mean law enforcement isn't doing their job. I also explained to him that usually after a child has been found, unless their is a break in the case, there usually isn't much media coverage. It doesn't mean anyone has forgotten about Nevaeh. I feel bad for him, poor kid. I wish I had better answers to give him.


You are in my prayers, thoughts and heart, little one. I hope you and Robert are fast friends.

From Monroenews:

Fair can't escape fear

A nagging fear dwells in the minds of many cautious parents at this year’s Monroe County Fair.

Along the midway, near the grandstand, even in the livestock areas, some moms and dads admit that Nevaeh Buchanan’s murder has them keeping even tighter tabs on their children.  After all, a murderer still might be on the loose.

"You never know, it could be anybody since the case hasn’t been solved," said Lisa Kuehnlein, who was keeping a close rein on her daughter, Madalyn, 4, along the fairgrounds Monday.  "My eyes are always on her because she’s one of those that likes to go," she said as Madalyn scampered along, the proud owner of an inflatable unicorn her mom had just bought her.

"I know where my kids are at all times," said Andrea Sutherland, who just had exited the women’s restroom with her son, Kyle, 5.

"My mom has been very overprotective. She never let me out of her sight and it’s carried over," Mrs. Sutherland said.

Even those who don’t voice extra concern about their children’s safety this year demonstrate it by their actions. Adult hands clench little fingers more tightly. Grownup eyes follow a tot’s every move. Children who wander afar are scolded. Siblings are chided to hold hands and stick together.
For many, stranger danger is top of mind even amid the normally wholesome fair environment.

"Something like that would never happen at the fair," Vicki McAllister said of the abduction and murder of 5-year-old Nevaeh, whose body was found June 4 half-buried and covered in concrete along the banks of the River Raisin in Raisinville Township. "But something like that would never happen in Monroe, would it?

"You really can’t be too careful," said the Maybee mother of two.

Could the culprit be at the fair? "Of course you can’t answer that," Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said. "The only way you’ll know for sure is when we finally identify the person involved."

Could the killer still be in the area? "Absolutely," he said.

Although two "persons of interest" in the case are in jail on unrelated charges, the sheriff indicated no break in the case appears imminent.

He says parents should use common sense to safeguard their kids. They should always maintain sight contact. As with the Buchanan incident, it only takes a minute and they’re gone.

"Parents need to maintain vigilance and know where their children are and know what they are doing," he said. "Until they feel secure in their own mind that the child is responsible enough to be with their friends, they need to maintain contact with their children.

"Don’t get too comfortable, and act responsibly," he said.

Mrs. Sutherland said her family lives across the road from the fairgrounds and her daughter, Brienna, 11, is in 4-H, "but I still don’t let them come here alone."

Mrs. Kuehnlein said she’s amazed at the number of 9-, 10- and 11-year-old girls she sees unattended at the fairgrounds.

"People get too comfortable," she said. "They come here three or four years and they get too comfortable.

"All it takes is a second."

The sheriff said the investigation into the murder is continuing and interviews are done every day that generate leads.

I can't tell you how many times I read, read, and re-read that article.  I had the same reaction at first.  But then I read it over and over again and began thinking, in the interests of the investigation, what else could he say?  LE is remaining so tight-lipped in this case that any responses other than what he gave would have disclosed key information.  So I remain confident in my position that they know and are just dotting I's and crossing T's.  The fact that interviews are being conducted EVERY DAY and that leads are generated from those inverviews is very key.  I still maintain that the reason this hasn't broken yet, or that it will not break as quickly as LE expected, is because Roy Smith is one tough SOB to break.  But it will happen--with or without him.  It will just take longer without him.

Finally, I don't think the Sheriff is privy to everything.  He's a spokesman for LE.  So he only knows what the task force wants him to know.  As the spokesman, the less he knows the better.  Much like Sheneman was in the Sandra Cantu case.

God Bless You Nevaeh--Justice Will Be Served.

$20,000 reward offered for information, arrest in Nevaeh Buchanan murder
by Ray Kisonas , last modified August 07. 2009 11:13AM
 
Nevaeh Buchanan Spread The News


The FBI is offering up to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the abduction and murder of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.


While he would not say that the investigation has stalled, Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield did acknowledge that there have been fewer tips lately.

"They’ve slowed down considerably," Sheriff Crutchfield said. "It’s one of the more difficult investigations law enforcement can get involved with. It’s a very difficult investigation."

Almost three months have passed since the little girl was abducted from the Charlotte Arms apartment complex.

The sheriff said a task force still is operating and the FBI is still present in the county. He insisted investigators are not frustrated at the lack of major developments.

"We still have leads we’re following up on," Sheriff Crutchfield said. "It’s a very active case. We will not stop until the matter is solved."

Nevaeh disappeared Memorial Day weekend and two men who know the girl’s mother and are registered sex offenders were early suspects. But neither was linked to the abduction and murder by police.

In the days after her abduction, several massive searches were conducted as hundreds of volunteers wandered the county’s roads and fields looking for the little girl.

On June 4, two fishermen found her body in a shallow grave along the River Raisin in Raisinville Township. Because of its remoteness, the sheriff has said he believes the suspect is a local resident.

On July 15, autopsy results were released showing Nevaeh was buried alive or smothered in dirt. The sheriff said he is waiting for analysis on other evidence collected.

This is the second time reward money has been offered. The FBI offered $20,000 for information leading to the recovery of Nevaeh or her body. Newport resident Guy Bickley and his stepfather found the grave off Dixon Rd.

Mr. Bickley, 52, said he has not received any reward money, though an FBI agent said he was eligible.

Mr. Bickley said he isn’t worried about it under the circumstances, but feels if the FBI promises something, it should follow through.

"It is a little weird," he said. "The FBI agent stopped by about four or five days after I found Nevaeh and he said it might take a while. I haven’t heard anything about it since. Nobody’s talked to me."

Mr. Bickley said if the reward money came from the community, he probably wouldn’t accept it. But since it was the federal government, he would. He said if the reward is paid, he plans to split it with his stepfather who was with him that day.

I'll just keep praying to God for this Little Girl.  I get so damn angry inside when I think that some fricken SOB is sitting back reading these articles and laughing.  My GOD what I wouldn't do for just 5 minutes with that person--just 5 freaking minutes, and my bare hands.

 Search continues for Nevaeh's killer     

Friday, August 07, 2009 at 11:33 a.m.

MONROE, Mich. (AP) - Police say they are continuing to follow up on tips and leads in the disappearance of a 5-year-old girl who was found buried near a Michigan river.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Department said Friday the task force investigating the death of Nevaeh Buchanan is offering up to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible.

More than 1,200 tips have been received and police say evidence still is being analyzed from her shallow grave along the River Raisin in Monroe County's Raisinville Township, where she was discovered June 4.

Nevaeh disappeared 10 days earlier from outside an apartment complex in Monroe. An autopsy revealed she suffocated after inhaling dirt.

No one has been arrested in her death.

Reward Offered In Death Of Nevaeh
Child May Have Been Buried Alive

POSTED: Friday, August 7, 2009
UPDATED: 6:37 pm EDT August 7, 2009
MONROE, Mich. -- Police said they are continuing to follow up on tips and leads in the disappearance of a 5-year-old girl who was found buried near a Michigan river.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Department said Friday the task force investigating the death of Nevaeh Buchanan is offering up to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible.

More than 1,200 tips have been received and police say evidence still is being analyzed from her shallow grave along the River Raisin in Monroe County's Raisinville Township, where she was discovered June 4.

Nevaeh disappeared 10 days earlier from outside an apartment complex in Monroe.

An autopsy revealed she suffocated after inhaling dirt.

No one has been arrested in her death, and that has many parents worried about the safety of their own children.

Families attending the Monroe County fair this weekend said they're keeping a closer eye on their children because of Nevaeh's death.

"My husband and I come together. We have two kids. One of us is in charge of one child at all times," said Michelle Kraft, a parent who was visiting the fair with her family on Friday. "We rarely ever split up. You just have to be more aware of where they're at at all times."

Fair organizers are also working to keep kids safe, with private security officers, Michigan State Troopers and Monroe County Sheriff's Deputies patrolling the fairgrounds.

Stan Diroff, a Monroe County Fair Board member, said, "At any one time, 20 deputies are on site; sometimes more than that. In the evenings when we have most of our crowds, we probably have 25 to 30 deputies."

The last day of the fair is Saturday.

Another day has passed without hearing the words we're all waiting to hear: "An arrest has been made." But that's okay- I'm trying to remain patient. It's only a matter of time until the coward SOB reaches the end of the road. Until then, Nevaeh, I will continue praying for justice for You Baby Girl. And I will continue praying that your pretty little face perpetually haunts the person that hurt you to the point of absolute insanity.

Good night Little One.

Nevaeh has been on my mind a lot today. We went camping this weekend and there were little kids everywhere laughing running, screaming, playing. I try hard to make sense of all this, but there's no good answer.

Nevaeh, if one thing is for certain, it's that You are in my heart forever.

I'm with you, cookie.  I feel confident LE is on track to solve this.  It's just not happening quick enough--it never does.  But as Pink Angel said some time ago, time was an issue when Nevaeh was missing.  Now that she has been found and brought home, time doesn't matter any more.  Justice will be served.

God Bless You Nevaeh.  Always on my mind, forever in my heart.

No need for thanks. Glad you liked it though. She was such an adorable child. That smile and those big brown eyes sucked me in the first time I saw them.

Did I tell you about the dream I had awhile back? About her? I was in such pain and grief over her death...and I had a dream about her, it was in black and white and she was dressed in a pink tea length dress with a big fluffy tulle skirt, she looked like a ballerina with wings. Her long hair was braided into a crown on her head with pretty pink flowers weaved into the braids. Music was playing and she was dancing and laughing. Then I woke up. It was the first time since her death I felt at peace because I knew she was at peace.

She has a special place in my heart.

That's beautiful pink, and thanks for sharing it with us. I am comforted knowing she's at peace. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I was terribly distraught over Nevaeh. I still have moments of grief; and moments when I search for answers to unanswerable questions. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about Nevaeh and pray for Justice for her. This little girl stole my heart.

We're still waiting to get the green light from the Sheriff's office to go forward with the reward posters. They told me they'd be back with me sometime this week. I'm getting a bit anxious-i just want to get the word out already.

Take care pink- and thanks.

Good morning, friends.  I want to give you a quick update on the reward flyers.  I spoke with the detective yesterday and, in all likelihood, I will be getting the green light next week to go forward with them.  There's been a bit of a delay because of the officer that was shot in the line of duty.  The suspect was apprehended and the officer will be okay.  But stay tuned--I'll post the reward flyer as soon as I get the go ahead.

Nevaeh, things have been quiet here, but that doesn't mean we've forgotten.  You'll never be forgotten, Little Angel.  Justice is coming, Sweetheart.

Police get few tips in case of Nevaeh's death     

Monday, August 24, 2009 at 4:05 p.m.

MONROE, Mich. (AP) - An investigator says tips about the death of a 5-year-old Monroe County girl have "slowed to a trickle" on the three-month anniversary of her disappearance.

Sheriff's Detective Brian Sroka says police are handling "single digit" tips each day in the death of Nevaeh Buchanan. At the start, police were handling 100 calls daily, leading to about 1,200 tips.

Sroka says investigators are urging anyone with information on Nevaeh's death to contact police at 734-457-6713.

Nevaeh disappeared May 24 from an apartment complex in Monroe, about 35 miles south of Detroit. She was found dead 10 days later along the nearby River Raisin. An autopsy found she suffocated after inhaling dirt.

No one has been arrested.

Praying for that one tip to come in that will lead them to an arrest. Please let there be justice for Nevaeh.

God bless you little one!

I don't get this...what is taking so long? are they thinking that the mother or  the sex offenders did not have a hand in this? they are relying on tips?  other cases are solved faster than this one..it would seem to me that there should have been dna and other clues at the site where Nevaeh was found...jmo...

Nevaeh Buchanan case still unsolved
Monday, August 24, 2009


Toledo, Ohio --

Today marks three months since the five-year-old Monroe Girl disappeared from her apartment complex. Fishermen found the body of Nevaeh Buchancan eleven days after her disappearance on the banks of the River Raisin.

All this time later, frustration is growing, as tips and information from police dry up.

Although Neveah's body has been found and laid to rest, her family says that's only half the battle. Justice hasn't been served as long as her killer is still on the streets.

At her gravesite, topped with small tokens for Nevaeh, her cousin can say what he wants her to hear. "I do love you, Nevaeh. One day we're gonna have the killers, they're gonna be charged, one day hopefully. All we can do is pray and hope for you, just wish there was some sign you could give us."

She was snatched from an apartment complex in broad daylight. More than 1,200 tips to police and a new $20,000 reward from the FBI and still no answers, no suspects, no arrest.

Her cousin says though Nevaeh's death touched the community, parents still don't see the lesson. "I see kids playing outside, parents ain't nowhere. In the house, that's all it takes. That's all Nevaeh was-- outside. Parent was in the house. Gone. Just like that. No I love you. No goodbye. No nothing. You know, no hug, no last kiss, just gone. Then nothing but worries, heartache, pain, sorrow."

The Monroe County sheriff's department tells us there is no new information. There is a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Nevaeh Buchanan's killers.

If you think you can help, call investigators at 734-243-7070.

This case MUST and WILL be solved. No crime of this type is so clean that there are no identifying leads, especially when the victim is found. It just takes a little longer to put all the pieces together and match them to the freak that did it. The best we can do is not forget.

I just wish the sheriff's office would approve my flyers already so I can get them out there.

God Bless You Nevaeh. You're in my heart forever.

'We need to keep her name alive'

Spread The News


Organizers of upcoming events are hoping to raise enough money to purchase a playground bench in honor of Nevaeh Buchanan and to remind parents not to let their children out of their sights.

Risa Thompson, Nevaeh’s fourth cousin, said she and others in communities outside of Monroe are hoping to raise money to place a bench at Riverside Early Learning Center in honor of the 5-year-old girl who was abducted and killed earlier this summer.

"We wanted to put up something positive with her name," said Mrs. Thompson, a Garden City resident who has family members living in Monroe. "We need to keep her name alive."

The memorial bench, which could cost several hundred dollars, would be placed at the early childhood center on N. Roessler St. Mrs. Thompson said the location is ideal because Nevaeh graduated from the Discovery Preschool program days before her abduction in May.

Karen Herkimer, coordinator of child care and preschool programs with Monroe Public Schools, supports the idea. She said the playground at Riverside expanded this summer and a bench would be a welcome addition.

"I think it’s wonderful," Ms. Herkimer said. "It’s definitely something we would want to do. I like the symbolism and practicality of it."

The idea is to remind parents of Nevaeh as they rest on the bench and to keep their eyes on their children at all times. Nevaeh was abducted from her apartment complex on N. Macomb St. in broad daylight with people in the vicinity.

"No matter where your children are, they are in jeopardy of being taken," Mrs. Thompson said. "We need to bring awareness to this. It can happen in a second. It can happen that quickly."

Fundraisers also will be held to help support the Nevaeh Amyah Preschool Scholarship Fund. The fund would help pay for preschool for families in need.

At the Rainbow Preschool program at Riverside, for example, it costs $85 a month for a 3-year-old and $118 a month for a 5-year-old child. Families who are struggling might not be able to afford preschool, which educators say is important for success in future academic years.

"We want this to be a success," Mrs. Thompson said. "We want Nevaeh’s short life to have meaning in the years to come and bring awareness for all missing and exploited children."

Fundraiser planned

The extended family of Nevaeh Buchanan will host a fundraising spaghetti dinner from 3 to 10 p.m. Sunday at Sgt. Stanley Romanow-ski Post 6896, Veterans of Foreign Wars, hall, 28945 Joy Rd., Westland.

The goal is to collect enough money to erect a memorial park bench in Nevaeh’s honor at Riverside Early Childhood Center and to start an annual preschool scholarship fund.

Raffles for prizes donated by area merchants in Westland, Garden City, Livonia and Monroe will be conducted, as well as hourly 50/50 raffles. There will be live music, face painting and clowns for the kids.

Memorial T-shirts will be available.

The cost of the dinner is $8 for adults and $4 for children. Tickets can be purchased at the door.

For more information, call Risa Thompson at 419-3232 in the Garden City/Westland area or Anthony Boyer at 497-3898 in the Monroe area.

Public prayer Sunday

A public prayer and music event to help lead police to Nevaeh’s killer is set for 10 a.m. Sunday at Monroe Middle School, 503 Washington St.

The Rev. Dale Hayford of Crosswalk Community Church, who has been the family’s spiritual adviser, said the public is invited to the service.

"We know this person is still out there," he said. "He can strike again. Every child on our streets is in danger."

The prayer session will include music provided by John Vass.

ID program coming

A child identification program in Nevaeh’s honor will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 10 at Bobby’s Bouncers indoor play facility, 38620 Michigan Ave., Wayne.

The free child ID kits, which include dental impressions, DNA samples, fingerprinting, a picture and short video, are provided by the Masons.

Children must be accompanied by parents or legal guardians.

So well said GypsyDD. I pray to God every single day and night that LE receives the info they need and the SOB that did this is arrested.

As an update on the reward fliers, unfortunately I have not yet received the green light from the Sheriff. I really can't explain why. But as soon as I do, I let y'all know.

God Bless You, Nevaeh. We're still fighting and praying for you.

Wow, PinkAngel, that is beautiful. I, too, think of Nevaeh every single day.  I will never forget her.  This case will haunt me until it is solved. I pray every day for her, and for law enforcement to not give up, to not get frustrated, and to remember that Nevaeh is a little girl that lost her life in a most violent way--and not just a statistic. 

I'm disappointed that I still have not heard back from the Sheriff's office on my reward fliers.  I don't know what to think about that.  I just want to keep Nevaeh's name out there--people can't forget.  This case will break sooner or later.  But it is going to take time, and it is going to take the will of the people of Monroe to not forget. 

Having said that, I'd like to make this observation.  I've been working closely with a few people in Monroe and the surrounding area on a few projects.  They're great people.  Very thoughtful, very energetic, very caring.  But there is a "mean spirited" contingent in that community the likes of which I've never seen before.  Those people are unable to look past their opinionated and judgmental views of Nevaeh's family and see that what we're really talking about here is a 5 year old little girl that didn't have a choice.  Nevaeh didn't get to choose what family she was born into.  She didn't get to choose what opportunities she'd have in life.  She didn't choose to get abducted and murdered.  Did Nevaeh's family show bad judgment?  You bet they did.  But that's not Nevaeh's fault.  For some reason, there's a contingent in Monroe that fails to see that, or just doesn't care to see it.  They show great insensitivity, and make remarks that I can't even get myself to repeat.  And unfortunately, they seem content to work against any effort to promote justice for this child.  It got so bad at one point that the moderator of the Monroe Talks forum had to lock certain threads and post specific instructions on how to ignore the Nevaeh Buchanan message board for those who were "tired of hearing about her."  Those are their words--not mine.

I will continue working for Justice for this Child.  I will do what I can, in what little free time I have, to keep Her memory alive and promote Justice.  I'm too emotionally invested now to do otherwise. Hopefully in short order, you'll be hearing about some great things coming out of Monroe in Nevaeh's Honor.  Just do me a favor and ignore naysayers.  They're in the minority and get a kick out of baiting people through their negativity, apparently just for the sport of it. 

Bless Your Heart, Nevaeh.

Amen, cookie.

Jess, I agree with you.
There are a lot of plain mean people over at MonroeTalks. I think a lot of people will say things on a bulletin board that they would never say  face to face. I quit posting over there the day that Nevaeh was buried because one of the posters more or less said. "she's been buried now, can we MOVE ON?"

It pissed me off beyond belief and I vowed to never post there again. I did move to a different board where many other locals moved to also. They were sick of the arguing and bickering going on. It seemed like every time they would post something nice or positive, a "troll" would step in with something negative or hateful to say.
There are also terrible comments being posted on every MEN article that is posted that has anything to do with Nevaeh. It's disgusting.

Nevaeh was a sweet innocent little child that had her life taken by an evil monster. She did NOTHING. She deserves honor, respect and to have her memory honored regardless of where she came from or who her family was/is.

There are many events being planned to honor Nevaeh and to make sure she isn't forgotten. Also events being planned to increase awareness for child safety. It's nice to see positive things come out of tragic situations. There are a lot of good people in Monroe. More good than bad I'd like to believe. :)

Thank you Jess for all that you are doing. Nevaeh is special to me too and her death with always haunt me until her murderer is behind bars where they belong. It can't be soon enough me but I am trying to be patient. I just want justice to be served for her.

I appreciate it PinkAngel.  I don't want this case to fall through the cracks, and I don't want to be reading about it a year from now.  We're planning some very special things for Nevaeh to keep her spirit alive.  I think you might have my email address.  If so, send me an email and let me know if you are local to Monroe.

Thank you, MC.  That picture really catches how I've been feeling lately. 

Good news is that I think I'll be getting the go-ahead for the reward posters this coming week.  Let's keep our fingers crossed.  Once that happens, we will be beginning a campaign to get them out there in full-force.

Bless Your Heart, Nevaeh.

There was an attempted abduction of a 4 year old girl in Monroe on Sunday evening at 6:30. The parallels to Nevaeh are shocking. Age. Day. Time. The fact that it was a holiday weekend. Apparently a man in his 50's with short brown hair, goatee wearing dark pants and a white button down shirt grabbed the girl while she was walking with her mom!  They screamed, the little girl got away, and the guy ran. But they got a great description. I can't post media links right now because I'm on my mobile device, but if you google "monroe attempted abduction" you'll find it.

This is obviously a very dangerous person. Very very very bold attempt. This guy is desperate. My gut tells me there's a connection here.

Attempted Abduction Reported In Monroe
Mom Says Daughter's Arm Was Grabbed By Strange Man

POSTED: Tuesday, September 8, 2009
UPDATED: 8:26 pm EDT September 8, 2009
MONROE, Mich. -- An attempted abduction is being investigated in Monroe after a mother reported to police that her daughter’s arm was grabbed while they walked in an area park.
Police said the 4-year-old’s mother told them they were walking early Sunday evening in St. Mary’s Park when a white man in his 50s grabbed the girl’s arm and said, “Come here.”

Police said the girl and her mother started screaming and the man ran off over a bridge and into downtown Monroe.

The man is described as having short brown hair, a goatee and was last seen wearing a white button down shirt with dark pants.

“It’s normally very quiet, it’s very child-friendly. It’s a good atmosphere to bring your child to. It’s a good park,” said parent Angela Harrison.

Parents in the area said the report of the stranger brings back memories of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.

Buchanan was allegedly kidnapped from outside her Monroe home in May. Her body was found a short time later in a shallow grave along the River Raisin. No one has been charged in her death.

“You take things for granted and don’t realize that there are predators out there that can do terrible things to your kids,” said parent Matt Cavins.

Thanks MuffyBee.  This has me very, very concerned.  This was a very   bold attempt by someone who is desperate for a "fix."  He is going to try again.  I just pray the parents of Monroe and the surrounding area are paying attention.  I can't take another one of these.     ::MonkeyNoNo::

I'm not taking full credit for this being published, but you don't know what I had to go through to convince Monroe News to post this as a Top News story on Page 1.  Most Monroe residents were not even aware of this as the local media coverage was SCANT.  If you want the low down, go here: 

http://monroetalks.com/forum/index.php?topic=15210.0

Maybe I had nothing to do with it and it coincidentally now appears as top news.  Frankly, I don't care as I'm not in this for pats on the back.  I'm just happy someone at Monroe News finally came to their senses.


Girl’s attempted abduction draws police attention
September 9, 2009

Detectives investigating the abduction and murder of Nevaeh Buchanan plan to look into a report involving a man who reportedly grabbed a girl at St. Mary’s Park in Monroe this weekend.

Investigators said there is nothing that indicates the incident is related to the Nevaeh case, but detectives said all suspicious activity is being scrutinized.

"It sparks curiosity," said Monroe County Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Heath Velliquette. "It is suspicious."

Monroe police reported a girl was approached by a man who grabbed her by the arm and said "come here." Reports said the girl screamed and ran back to her mother, who was nearby.

The incident happened about 6:30 p.m. Sunday near W. Elm and Godfroy Aves. The man was last seen running toward St. Mary’s Park and across the Martin Luther King Bridge. He was described as an older man wearing a white shirt and dark pants. He had short, dark hair and a gray goatee.

Sgt. Velliquette said detectives will be looking to see if there is any possible link to the death of Nevaeh, who was abducted in May and whose body was later found in a shallow grave along the River Raisin.

"It needs to be looked into further," Sgt. Velliquette said. "But we don’t have all the information. It is our intent to delve further into it."

Attempted abduction in Monroe
Wednesday, September 09, 2009

A man grabbed the little girl's arm while walking ahead of her mom at St. Mary's park.

An attempted abduction in Monroe has some parents on high alert. It happened Sunday evening near St. Mary's park.
Andrea Boyd walks her two little ones through St. Mary's park all the time. That's why the news of an attempted abduction has her on edge. "With having a little one like this and especially with the Nevaeh case going on it was quite scary to know that someone is still out there and around here all the time doing that, says Boyd.
Nevaeh Buchanan, 5, was kidnapped back in May. Her body was later found in a shallow grave along the River Raisin. No one has been arrested in connection with her death.

Monroe police say a woman filed a report Monday evening saying the evening before she was walking with her daughter and a friend near Elm Street and Godfrey. The young girl was walking ahead of the two adults. The woman told police that the man approached her daughter, grabbed her by the arm, and said come here. The little girl didn't, and she started screaming and ran back towards her mother.

Police say if you find yourself in a similar situation, don't wait to report it. "You can't even respond to the same area and say gee, I hope I got this same subject still in the park 10 minutes after it happened, 25 hours," says Lt. Charles Abel.

Police are still investigating and need your help locating this would-be abductor before he's successful. The woman told police the man was white, between the ages of 40 and 60. He was wearing a white button up shirt. He had dark hair and a gray goatee. If you have any information, call Monroe police at 734-243-7500.

I just need to vent for a second.  I'm starting to get really frustrated.  I was PROMISED that I'd have the final reward poster from Law Enforcement on TUESDAY.  Here it is Thursday, and NOTHING.  I don't know what else I can do.  I've put countless hours into this case.  Pledged resources.  Fought to have stories run in the media.  And the impression I get back is they just don't care.  I am so angry right now.  I was told all levels of the investigation team approved it--from the FBI to the State Police to the Monroe PD.  So what the he!! is the hold up?  Send the darn thing to me so I can get it printed and distributed!  And so that we can have our banners made.  We received the green light from the department of highways to post the reward poster in banner format on areas along the highway.  So come on, law enforcement--WE'RE HANDING YOU A GIFT!  YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING!  YOU DON'T HAVE TO EVEN SPEND A SECOND OF YOUR TIME!  SO WHAT'S THE HOLDUP?

Good God, we're doing what we can as concerned citizens to try to win Justice for this little girl.  Can't someone care for the 30 seconds it would take to send me the approval?

I want to thank-you for all the time and sacrifice you have put into this case, and others as well, I read all your posts on whatever forum we are both on, and I appreciate you very much. I'm just going to come out and say it, this case just like with Lindsey and countless others, there is no money with these families, there is no theatrics, so because of that there is hardly any attention. It is almost like, let's just sweep this under the rug, and he!! if we get some info we will check it out, very frustrating. And at the same time the LE has so much to do with other crimes, and it just seems that some of these kids are forgotten, I pray they are not.

Thank you.  I'm just at a loss.  :(    Frustration beyond compare.  It's difficult not to become frustrated when you can't even get people to take what you're willing to give.  But my frustration doesn't mean I'm going to give up.  I intend to be persistent.  I intend to see this through.  Frustration empowers me.

OMG, if you only knew what I've gone through with CrimeStoppers.  They poked their 2 cents in early on.  They were one of the biggest reasons for the initial delay in trying to get the reward poster approved.  I was *this close* (use your imagination-my fingers are about a hair apart) to getting the green light when they popped in and wanted to do their own version.  Law Enforcement didn't want multiple versions being circulated.  So I offered to coordinate things with CrimeStoppers.  I was working directly with a CrimeStoppers person from Michigan.  Interesting thing is, they sought ME out because they heard I was putting together a reward poster and distribution campaign.  I offered to help, to let them take the laboring oar if they wanted, or I would take the laboring oar.  It didn't and doesn't matter to me and I don't care--I'm not in this to get a gold star on my head--I just wanted the posters out there for Nevaeh.  But they've been about as responsive as a block of wood.  So they popped their heads in, acted interested, muddled everything up, dropped their ball, and then left the party.

Hoping for news! Still nothing? No arrests? The autopsy didn't reveal anything? So are we to assume that there was no evidence such as DNA found on her body that connected to those who were first thought of? Could this have been done by a person who has never been in the system? Assuming of course this poor baby was sexually assulted. Sorry if I am repeating any questions, I have not kept up with this case

Hi Tracygirl--good to hear from you!  Law enforcement hasn't revealed very much information on the case.  I know the investigation is still going full steam ahead.  And I'm sure the autopsy revealed much much more than what was leaked (that being the cause of death).

Park incident considered resolved
, last modified September 12. 2009 12:58AM
Spread The News



 

Police have determined that an incident near St. Mary’s Park where a man approached a young girl was an innocent encounter and not an attempted abduction as initially feared.


Monroe Police Chief John Michrina said detectives found and interviewed the man, who is developmentally disabled. They spoke to him and his guardian and determined the man was simply trying to be friendly.


"There was no criminal intent whatsoever," Chief Michrina said.


The incident was reported to police as a possible attempted abduction, although the girl’s mother was hesitant to file because she never saw the man touch her daughter, Chief Michrina said.


But family members believed that all unusual incidents should be reported because of the ongoing Nevaeh Buchanan investigation.


About 6:30 p.m. Sunday near W. Elm and Godfroy Aves., the girl told police that the man grabbed her by the arm. But it could never be verified that the man, who is in his 40s, touched her. In fact, he told police he never touched the girl, the chief said.


There was nothing criminal, the chief said, so the investigation is closed.

I am devoted to seeing that this case is solved.  With that said, attached is the New Poster.  It has been approved by the FBI, the Michigan State Police and the Monroe County Sheriff.  We are beginning a distribution campaign immediately.  Feel free to email it to anyone you want.

If someone knows how to "shrink it up" so you can see the poster itself (rather than just the download link), can you do that for me please?

Jess - did you post this over at monroetalks.com too?

I was at a bar last night for a party...the news was on but the sound was off...they were doing a piece on Nevaeh but I'm not sure what it was about...a benefit I believe.  I've checked the local news sites but cant find anything yet. 

I was just glad to see her back on the news...there really needs to be a break in this case  ::MonkeyWaa::

Hi Leroy. I didn't post it over on MT. No offense, but I try to stay outta there. Posting it there will just give certain posters ammo to badmouth and criticize. I don't need that right now. I have a very good army of people helping in this effort-we don't need MT to accomplish our mission. ;)

One thing we've learned is that people are, indeed, forgetting. Many people think the case has been solved. It's been very surprising to see just how unaware people are that the investigation is continuing.

Excellent JessStar! just awesome job!

ok, don't you think that if the 2 jail birds that Nevaeh's mother was friends with did this to Nevaeh, we would have heard that by now? the dna of the murderer has to be all over that crime scene where this poor baby was...it must have been someone else? and if it was the mother, wouldn't we have heard  that by now as well?  LE would know by now and an arrest would have been made?

I know what you mean about MT...i haven't been over there in a while - nothing news worthy at all.  But I know they at least still talk about Nevaeh, and you are right - those that are there for the right reasons will be helping already.

And yes people are forgetting....how sad.  Thanks for all you do Jess to bring justice to Nevaeh   ::MonkeyAngel::

Assuming LE has DNA, the problem is linking that DNA to the MURDER.  They can certainly link the person to Nevaeh, but without evidence that the person whose DNA is there also murdered this precious child is another issue.  If I was a gambler betting on "what's the holdup?" that's where I'd place my money.  My intention is to help bridge that narrow, narrow gap.  And God willing, I will not rest until I succeed.  Nevaeh has touched me deeply.  I don't know why, and I stopped trying to figure out why.  She just did.  And now I have to help her.

Nevaeh Task Force still needs help
Sheriff, task force still offering $20,000 reward
Updated: Tuesday, 22 Sep 2009, 3:31 PM EDT
Published : Tuesday, 22 Sep 2009, 11:15 AM EDT

MONROE, Mich. - The Monroe County Sheriff and an assembled task force are still searching for the person or people responsible for Nevaeh Buchanan's abduction and murder earlier this summer.

Nevaeh disappeared during the Memorial Day holiday weekend. After over two weeks of searching, her body was discovered by two fishermen in early June buried in concrete and a makeshift grave along the bank of the River Raisin in Raisinville Township.

An autopsy later revealed that the 5-year-old girl may have been buried a live.

The Monroe Co. Sheriff and the Nevaeh Task Force are still working on leads, but can still use any help from the public.

The task force has released a new poster  asking anybody who thinks they have any information to contact the Nevaeh Task Force at (734) 457-6713.

There have been no arrests made in the murder of Nevaeh.

Nevaeh's Family Waits for Answers

 Seeking Justice for Nevaeh
 New Nevaeh Poster (899.2KB)

 
 It has been four long months since little Nevaeh Buchanan vanished from her home.
Detectives still have not caught the child’s killer – and Nevaeh’s family is begging for information.
Action News Investigator Heather Catallo has the latest in this tragic murder mystery.

This week – the Monroe County Sheriff released a new poster that begs for information about Nevaeh Buchanan’s murder.
But at this point Nevaeh’s family – wants more than glossy pictures and reward money – they want justice for Monroe’s little angel.


[Sherry Buchanan/Novae’s Grandma] “I don’t want to admit to myself that she’s gone. I want her to come home. I want her to come home still yet.”

Sherry Buchanan is constantly in pain.

[Sherry Buchanan/Nevaeh’s Grandma] “I cry to God every day. And I even looked at her picture on the TV, and I said, baby, Grandma’s going to find whoever did this. I said, I won’t rest until I know.”

Sherry desperately wants to know who killed her 5 year old granddaughter.

[Sherry Buchanan/Nevaeh’s Grandma] “There’s windows on the side of the building, somebody had to have seen something.”

Four months ago, Nevaeh Buchanan was playing outside her apartment building in Monroe. But somebody abducted the 5 year old – leaving behind only her scooter.

[Sherry Buchanan/Nevaeh’s Grandma] “It was leaning right up against the building. This wall here?”

“Whoever’s familiar with that area, raise your hand!”

After 12 days of massive searches – fishermen found Nevaeh’s body under concrete along the River Raisin. Detectives fear she had been buried alive.

[Shane Hinojosa/Nevaeh’s Father] “They’re going to get caught, and they’re going to pay the price for what they did to my daughter.”

At the height of the search – detectives rounded up several “people of interest.”
They locked up two sex offenders who were friends with Nevaeh’s mother, Jennifer Buchanan. George Kennedy and Roy Lee Smith are back in prison for parole violations. They have not been ruled out in Nevaeh’s murder – but they haven’t been charged either.

[Sherry Buchanan/Nevaeh’s Grandma] “I kind of feel it was somebody associated with George.”

Monroe Sheriff’s investigators also arrested another person of interest -- James Easter -- for lighting fires in his back yard. He has since been let go.
Now Nevaeh’s family members are fearful that the case has gone cold.

[Sherry Buchanan/Nevaeh’s Grandma] “I’m frustrated. I don’t hear no information.”

Sherry says she hasn’t met with detectives since July 15th... and her last phone call with them was more than 3 weeks ago.

[Sherry Buchanan/Nevaeh’s Grandma] “Certainly things that they don’t tell me, that’s fine. But at least let me know that you’re still out there doing the investigation.”

[Karen Herkimer/Preschool Administrator] “That fear that somebody is walking around out there that is responsible for this, and they need to be caught. They need to be brought to justice.”

Karen Herkimer is the head of the preschool that Nevaeh had graduated from just days before her disappearance. Herkimer says she’s heard from many parents in Monroe who don’t understand the silence from the Sheriff about what’s happening with the case.

[Karen Herkimer/Preschool Administrator] “Now there’s many conversations that are welling up again. And people are frustrated – we should be hearing something, or something should be happening.”

Monroe Sheriff’s officials would not talk to the Action News Investigators on camera – but they did tell us that detectives chase down active leads in the case every day.

While they do that – Sherry Buchanan tries not to think about how she still can’t sleep in the room she shared with the little girl that she raised.

[Sherry Buchanan/Nevaeh’s Grandma] “I would lay, and I would be on 1 bed, and she would be on the other, and I’d push her hair back from her face, and tell her I loved her and things, so I can’t go back there right now.”

Family members now cherish their memories – like the stuffed dog named Harley that was Nevaeh’s constant companion. Fundraisers have been held to create a memorial park bench for the playground at Nevaeh’s old preschool.
A bench to keep her memory alive – and to remind parents to keep their children close.

[Sherry Buchanan/Nevaeh’s Grandma] “Whoever knows any information, I beg you, out of my heart, and out of Nevaeh’s heart – just come forward, and let us know. So she can rest.”

The Nevaeh Buchanan task force is offering up to $20,000 for any information that leads to the arrest and the conviction of her killer.
The task force is asking everyone – if you have information – no matter if it seems insignificant – to please call 734-457-6713.

They did a 4 minute TV spot on the 11:00 news.  You can watch it on their website.

me too!

Jess or anyone....since it is taking the police so long in saying anything, I would "assume" that the So's in jail had nothing to do with her death? otherwise, there should have been some dna somewhere on that crime scene? if one of the So's dna was found on or near her little body, wouldn't we have been told that by now? why are the LE not telling families to keep their children close as there is a child killer on the loose...I don't get it..

I sincerely appreciate the offers.  We are in the process of setting up an "official" group and, once that is done, I will let you all know where you can send your donations.  Thanks a gazillion, we really really appreciate it.  We have a lot of good things coming up.  This past weekend, we had a Child ID program for the kids in which we gave out little bags of candy and trinkets for the kids and Reward Posters for those in attendance.  It was pretty well received.  We are planning to have another one before the end of the year.  We are planning a Justice for Nevaeh public event for this weekend in Monroe and are several hundred people to attend.  The reward poster distribution campaign is ongoing, and will be ongoing for several months.  I am working with some very very dedicated people in Monroe and the surrounding area.  We couldn't do this without them.  The are top notch, "A" team players.

Cookie, while I'd love to comment in detail on your post, unfortunately I cannot.  About the most I can say is that I strongly believe there are one or two pieces of the puzzle still missing.  And while it will take some time to find them, they will be found.

Thanks to all of you that are keeping Nevaeh in your prayers.  My heart continues to ache for this Little Angel. 

God Bless You.

For those that are interested (see the red print above), Monroe is requiring that we obtain a permit for this.  So we're being delayed a few weeks while we do that.  :-(  But the event will eventually go forward.

Thanks, and God Bless Nevaeh.

Nevaeh's family waits

They have a clear message for the person who abducted and killed Nevaeh Buchanan:
Give up quietly; you're only making it more difficult for yourself.

That message comes from the Buchanan family's spiritual adviser, from law enforcement officials and from the family members themselves.

The Rev. Dale Hayford, a Buchanan family friend, pleads with the killer to turn himself in.

On the law enforcement side, investigators are a little more direct with a warning: Enjoy freedom while it lasts.

It has been almost five months since the 5-year-old girl was abducted from her N. Macomb St. apartment complex.
The discovery of her body in a shallow grave sparked widespread grieving and anger in a community where hundreds of people covered acres of Monroe County searching for her.

Since then, details on the investigation have been sparse. Police have been tight-lipped. Family members say it is impossible to move forward without knowing who did such a terrible thing to a little girl. And why.

"Us, as a family, really deserve to know something," said Mike Buchanan, Nevaeh's uncle, who had a close relationship with the girl. "But also as a community, we need to know. Something's got to give. Our healing isn't going to progress until we get better information. I need to know every detail."

Months of waiting

Members of Nevaeh's family — her mother, Jennifer; grandmother Sherry and her uncle Mike — sat together this week to discuss the case and how their lives have changed in the past few months.

They want the community to remember Nevaeh and her bright smile. Secondly, there has been growing frustration with the investigation. There has not been an arrest despite a slew of FBI experts who descended on Monroe and camped out in a building on Raisinville Rd. for weeks, tracking down every lead.

"I am disappointed; I thought there would be an arrest by now," Mr. Buchanan said. "I thought for some time this would be done. It's surprising that it's been 4½ months without an arrest."

Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield acknowledges that throughout the case he has kept certain information secret. Details known by detectives are not being released, even to family members.

"I deliberately do not disclose the details of the investigation and its current status because I don't want (the perpetrator) to know what we know," the sheriff said. "There is a reason for that. We aren't releasing information because the person is still out there."

But the sheriff said he had a specific message for the person who did it.

"That person has every right to be nervous," Sheriff Crutchfield said. "He has to keep looking over his shoulder. Our interest in resolving this has not diminished in any way.

"One of these days, we will be there."

And the Rev. Hayford, too, has a message for the perpetrator: Turn yourself in to authorities. Otherwise, God will not give forgiveness.

"He's got to come clean before he can get to heaven," the Rev. Hayford said "I pray he turns himself in. He'll never have a clear conscience until he does. He will never have peace. He's got to confess his sins."

Changes in their lives

Since the incident, Mr. Buchanan has gotten married, continues to work up to seven days a week, attends church services regularly and has surrounded himself with role models like the Rev. Hayford.

"After this happened, I've come a long way," he said. "I've met a lot of wonderful people who I call friends. I've learned that it's okay to be upset and angry but violence is not the answer."

He is protective of his sister, who has faced scrutiny and criticism in person and online because of her relationship with a registered sex offender, who remains in jail.

Jennifer Buchanan, who was reserved and cautious during the interview, said she lives with her mother in the Charlotte Arms apartments where the abduction occurred and has been looking for work. She said nothing good has come from the situation.
"It's completely changed my life," she said.

She said she tries to maintain a low profile but some people in the community still blame her.

"People notice me," she said. "They point, they whisper to each other. They can be cruel. I don't let it bother me."

While they all still grieve, Sherry Buchanan, Nevaeh's grandmother, appears to be having the hardest time moving forward. She said she goes to work at a local grocery store every day but she can't take her mind off her granddaughter.

She said she sleeps on an air mattress in the living room so she can be close to Nevaeh's picture. When Canada geese fly overhead, it reminds her of Nevaeh because she loved them. And the purple bicycle with the tags still on it remains in the closet.
"I'm just hanging in there, going to work, trying to keep my mind busy," Sherry Buchanan said. "I'm empty inside."

Frustration, doubt

While the investigation obviously remains open, not much has developed recently, at least officially. The family says that investigators do keep in touch, but it's sporadic.

"They come over and tell us nothing because they have no information," Jennifer Buchanan said.

The complete autopsy results still have not been released. The family knows that Nevaeh died of asphyxiation and possibly was buried alive, but she might have been unconscious at the time.

Jennifer Buchanan said she was told her daughter's body had no signs of trauma or sexual assault. The only substance in her system was caffeine, probably from pop. Forensic results showed she did not have any drug in her system.

Sherry said she hoped to obtain some hair for a locket or to see the striped red, white and blue shirt Nevaeh was last seen wearing. But nothing has been released.

"If I could just see that, I can learn to let her go," Sherry Buchanan said. "Until I can see that shirt, I won't be able to rest."
Not knowing who did this or why continues to haunt the family.

"What was his motive? Why did he do that?" Mr. Buchanan asked. "There are so many things going through my head. It's very confusing to me."

They say they discuss scenarios, but have not been able to figure out who could get away with taking a little girl — who would only approach those she knew — from a crowded parking lot during the Memorial Day weekend.

"I have no clue whatsoever," Mr. Buchanan said. "In my mind, it's somebody I don't know. And that's the scariest part."
He said his 10-year-old stepson struggles with the thought of being abducted. He is having a hard time sleeping and understanding that his fate will not be the same as Nevaeh's.

"I feel so bad for him," Mr. Buchanan said. "It's traumatized him. Nevaeh was like a sister to him."

Small steps forward

Mr. Buchanan married his wife, Kelly, on Sept. 9. He said her support throughout the ordeal showed them they were supposed to be together.

"We knew we were in love," he said. "If we can get through something like this, then it was meant to be."

The family members have moved forward but at their own pace. And until the person responsible for the horrible crime is brought to justice, those close to Nevaeh say they will not be able to find peace.

That's why the Rev. Hayford suggests the perpetrator come forward. He believes the person responsible deep down wants to make things right. He said he is available if the person wants to contact him.

"We need to pray for this person so he can turn himself in," the Rev. Hayford said. "He has got to be found."

In the meantime, the killer remains free while those who cared about Nevaeh wonder how such a thing could happen and who could be responsible.

"Come forward, go to the police department and give me some relief," Sherry Buchanan said, directing her comments to the culprit. "That baby was innocent. She did not deserve that."

Yes, I agree Jess is very dedicated for Nevaeh.   ::MonkeyAngel::

OT  I've been missing Pink Angel too.  I hope everything is okay with her and we hear from her soon. 

My heart is shattered.  I can't give up the fight.  We will keep her name in lights until the demon that did this to her pays.  I will do whatever I can to constantly remind this demon that we're only one step behind, and we're closing in.  Sheriff Crutchfield is right--"Your time is limited."

I just can't, and won't, let it go.  This poor little girl.  She's counting on us.  And we won't let her down.  She was let down enough by those closest to her. Shame on them.

I hope the demon reads this forum because I have a message for him/her.  "Bring it on you coward SOB--bring it on!  You had the guts to take the life of an innocent 5 year old little girl, and now you try to hide in the shadows.  Let's see if you have the guts to face us.  You're nothing but a coward. I hope you're enjoying yourself because your days of freedom are numbered, you less than human, not worth crap off a dog's a$$ coward.  Let's see if you have the guts to face the music.  Come out of the shadows and show yourself, you POS.  Remember, we're only one step behind you.  We're the shadow that's following your every move.  That sound you hear in the middle of the night?  It's us.  That person you thought you saw in your mirror?  It's us.  That car that you thought was following you?  Guess what?--it's us.  We're all over the place, Mr./Ms. Short Eyes.  We're the ones standing next to you in line at the grocery store.  We're the ones polititely saying "hi" to you on the street.  You better watch your step though, because we'll be there the next time you stumble.  And then the next person you'll be visiting will have a badge.  You can be sure of it, as God as my witness."

Jess, I don't post too often here, but I read when I see new postings.
I read the article and this part peaked my curiousity, maybe you can explain what she means if you know?

the grandmother is quoted as saying...."If I could just see that, I can learn to let her go," Sherry Buchanan said. "Until I can see that shirt, I won't be able to rest."Not knowing who did this or why continues to haunt the family.

Why does she have to see the shirt? Also, this statement taken from the article, "She said she sleeps on an air mattress in the living room so she can be close to Nevaeh's picture"  Why doesn't she take the pic into her room? Why does she stay in the living room?

This is terrible, just horrible. I pray she didn't wake up...."The family knows that Nevaeh died of asphyxiation and possibly was buried alive, but she might have been unconscious at the time".
No sexual assult or signs of trauma? No drug in her system? So was this the reason for the concrete? So she couldn't dig her way out? What the hell has gone on in the case, jess this is just sounding very creepy. Thank god this little girl has you

the sex offender that is friends with Jennifer and now in jail, didn't he have a girl friend? Was she ever given a poly or questioned? She was the one that said he was with her and couldn't have done this right?

ugg sorry but reading that about being buried alive has just angered me beyond belief. Now the quick set concret makes sense. That's why they didn't just put her into the water or left her under a tree...they didn't want her getting out. My god how awful of a death. They need to find this person and fast.

I can't and won't let this one go Tracygirl. This little girl rocked me in big way.  So much in this case doesn't make sense.  I'd love to go into detail, but I've signed a confidentiality agreement so I cannot.  If anything, though, that should show how serious I am about pursuing this until the demon that murdered this poor child is behind bars.

Here's an update on our Group (Justice for Nevaeh) march that I posted about a few days ago.  We found a private location to host it so we don't have to worry about permits and such.  This is the press release we did yesterday:


Halloween Safety Awareness Event in Honor Of Nevaeh Buchanan

This event will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Sunday October 25th, 2009 at Riverside Early Learning Center (formerly Riverside Elementary) 77 N. Roessler Street, Monroe, MI 48162.  We will be carrying signs outside weather permitting, promoting Justice for Nevaeh and Safety Starts at Home. After the march there will be a presentation inside the building by guest speaker
Mrs. Geranlyn Harris, who is from Monroe County Mental Health, she will be addressing child safety issues.

This will be a peaceful assembly and will serve as a reminder to parents that with Halloween coming up they need to make certain that there is a responsible adult with the child(ren) at all times.

There will also be a limited amount of goodie bags for children that will be attending.

We are looking forward to the community coming together to show their support for both causes, Justice for Nevaeh and Child Safety Awareness.

Safety vigil planned for Nevaeh
Teachers remember Nevaeh Buchanan

MONROE, Mich - Teachers hope to honor the memory of a little girl missing from their classroom this year. A special vigil is planned for Sunday at Riverside Learning Center in Monroe, Mich., to honor Nevaeh Buchanan.
Five-year-old Nevaeh was abducted from the parking lot of her Monroe apartment complex in May. Her body was discovered two weeks later. She was buried under concrete along the River Raisin, just seven miles from her home. Now her teachers hope to prevent other children from suffering the same fate.

"The person that did this to Nevaeh is still out there and hasn't been caught yet. And that's something that put such a fear in the minds of parents in this city," said Karen Herkimer, Riverside Learning Center’s administrator.

Herkimer and other at the school say the vigil will offer more than prayers. Experts will be on hand to provide safety tips to parents to prevent any other children from falling victim. She says that is especially important this close to Halloween.

"It s a fun time and children are going up to strangers houses and we're saying that's okay. Its got to be a bit con fusing for children. Parents need to be going with their kids when they are going trick-or-treating,” said Herkimer. ”It is a fun time of year but yet we have to be cautious at the same time."
The vigil for Nevaeh is on Sunday from 1-3 p.m. at Riverside School. The public in encouraged to attend.

Meanwhile, a $20,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction of Nevaeh's murderer. Monroe County detectives say they are working the case every day with help from the FBI but they have not received any new information in quite some time. Anyone who thinks they may have information is asked to call the task force at (734) 457-6713.

Event Honors Nevaeh Buchanan
Event Includes Safety Presentation For Parents

POSTED: Sunday, October 25, 2009
UPDATED: 7:05 pm EDT October 25, 2009
MONROE, Mich. -- Family and friends of a slain 5-year-old from Monroe organized a Halloween event Sunday to demand what they call justice for Nevaeh Buchanan.

Protesters marched at Riverside Early Learning Center in Monroe with signs and pictures of Buchanan, who vanished Memorial Day weekend.

“Whoever did this to my little girl should turn himself in. We’re still hurting very very much," said Buchanan's father, Shane Hinojosa. "Just turn yourself in. That would be the best bet you can do."

The event organizers also held a child safety presentation for parents. With Halloween coming up, organizers reminded parents to keep a close eye on their children.

“Watch not only your kids but watch other people’s kids. If you see something that don’t look right say something,” said Deanna Homan, one of the event’s organizers.

Buchanan was last seen at a playground outside her apartment complex in Monroe. Her body was found days later in a shallow grave along the River Raisin.

Police have no suspects in her murder.

Thanks BooMonkey!  Our event garnered tremendous media attention. We are very pleased. We have many more things planned. This week we will be placing signs throughout the community. I'll post a picture of the signs as soon as I can. They will promote justice for Nevaeh and serve as a reminder to the community that Nevaeh's killer may still be out there, and that we will not relent until he/she is behind bars.

MONROE - The horrific story of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan earlier this year sent shivers down the spines of parents.

One minute Nevaeh was playing and riding her scooter in the parking lot of an apartment complex where she lived with mother and grandmother. Moments later she had disappeared. And for 11 days, no one knew what happened.

Then, on June 4, her body was discovered encased in concrete in a shallow grave along the River Raisin. Investigators fear she may have been buried alive.

The message ever since from guardians to their children has been clear: Watch out for strangers. Those instructions may work well for 364 days of the year, but as Risa Thompson of the group Justice for Nevaeh explained yesterday, Halloween presents a conundrum for families as their youngsters head out under cover of night to knock on many strangers' doors.

MULTIMEDIA
VIEW: The disappearance of Neveah (photos, stories and video)
"We teach our kids the stranger-danger thing, and then we go out for Halloween," she said.

For tips on how to keep trick-or-treating safe and fun, more than 50 parents and children attended a Halloween safety event yesterday afternoon at Riverside

Early Learning Center organized by Justice for Nevaeh members.

Those in attendance also paid respect to the memory of Nevaeh and expressed support for the girl's family members, who have yet to see her killer identified or arrested.

A Nevaeh Buchanan Task Force is offering up to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the girl's abduction and murder.

"It's hard not knowing who did this and that they're still out there," said Nevaeh's father, Shane Hinojosa of West Toledo, who came out yesterday with his newborn daughter, Natalie, and 2-year-old son and 6-year-old stepson.

Mr. Hinojosa said he can see Nevaeh in his daughter, who was born Sept. 23 and shares similar features including the color of her hair, eyes, and eyebrows. Although five months have passed since Nevaeh disappeared, he remains confident authorities will catch her killer.

"They'll get caught sooner or later - it just takes time I guess," he said.

Also present was Nevaeh's grandmother, Sherry Buchanan, who lived with the girl and said that the emotional wounds have yet to heal. If she catches a glimpse of even a photo of a young girl that looks like Nevaeh, she said she has to look away.

"The only thing that keeps me going is those good people here at Riverside, the people where I work at Food Town, and my son," she said. "My sister is hurting so bad she can't stand it. She cries every time she turns around."

The afternoon opened with a prayer led by Sam Luke, a pastor at Stewart Road Christian Ministries, where Nevaeh's funeral was held in June.

"Let's pray that the persons or person guilty of this horrible atrocity will either be caught or turn themselves in," the pastor said. "We will never forget Nevaeh, and we will never forget what she represents for us."

He continued, "This is a case that's near and dear to our heart - we love our children and we want them to be safe."

Parents and children then marched around the parking lot raising signs with reward posters on one side and "Justice for Nevaeh" and "Safety first starts at home" messages on the other.

Britney Crawford of Monroe said she has been extra vigilant about the safety of her three children, ages 8, 10, and 13, since the news broke about Nevaeh. She was particularly unnerved that Nevaeh's killer remains at large.

"As a parent, I can't imagine losing a child like that," Mrs. Crawford said. "They found her body less than two miles from our house, and that's very scary."

Nevaeh's uncle Mike Buchanan also marched outside the school.

"We as a family really, really hurt," said Mr. Buchanan, who isn't sure whether the killer's arrest can bring closure. He still has many questions that need answered.

"With me it's always 'why?' Why did this happen? Was it just a random thing or did you target my niece for a reason?" he said.

Those with any information about Nevaeh's case are asked to call the Nevaeh Buchanan Task Force at 734-457-6713.

Neveah's killer on the loose, case far from cold

By Chance Walser

Monday, November 16, 2009 at 10:27 p.m.

Read more: Local, Crime, Neveah Buchanan, Monroe County

MONROE, MICH. -- The family of five year old Neveah Buchanan reported her missing back in May 2009.

The searching continued for a week and a half until fishermen discovered the girl’s body along the banks of the river raisin.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says she was either buried alive or had her face forcibly shoved into the dirt.

In June, thousands showed up for Neveah’s funeral, lining the streets as a small, whit casket rolled by.

As tears and prayers of support poured out for the family, the one elusive feeling was and still is closure as the little girl’s killer is still on the loose.

The Sheriff’s Office says the case is far from cold and they are following up on new and old leads every day.

They say the Sheriff’s office has received well over one thousand tips since Neveah went missing about six months ago.

Friends, family gather 6 mths after Nevaeh's disappearance
Wednesday, November 25, 2009


They lit candles and held signs next to the bench built in the five-year-old's honor.

Last night friends and family marked six months since five-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan disappeared from her apartment complex in Monroe. A dozen family members and friends gathered at the playground outside Riverside School in Monroe where Nevaeh was a student. They lit candles and held signs next to the bench built in the five-year-old's honor. Family members worry not only about the investigation, but that people in the community are forgetting about their little girl.

On May 24th Nevaeh Buchanan disappeared from the Charlotte Arms Apartment Complex in Monroe. Eleven days later, fishermen found her body on the banks of the River Raisin encased in cement. Autopsy results indicate she may have been buried alive.

A few persons of interest were named in the case but still no one has been charged with little Nevaeh's kidnapping or murder. The Monroe County Sheriff's Department continues to follow up on leads. Anyone with information about Nevaeh is encouraged to call them at 734-243-7070.

Masons' ID program honors murdered Monroe youngster
   
A free child identification program in memory of a murdered Monroe girl is being offered by the Wayne Masonic Lodge No. 11 on Sunday, Dec. 20.

This is the second time the Masons have hosted an identification program remembering 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan, who was abducted and found dead in June. The request to hold the program in honor of Nevaeh came from her cousin, Risa Thompson.

“She had heard about our child identification program and went through the Grand Lodge Web site. We held one in August and she asked if we could do it again around Christmas,” said Mason Bernie Brewer. “Anything for the kids.”

The child identification program will run from noon to 4 p.m. at the Wayne Masonic Temple, 37137 Palmer, west of Wayne Road, Westland.

Each child who goes through the process will receive a dental impression as well as a CD containing a photo, video, digital fingerprints and their vital information.

Parents or guardians of children who participate must be present and fill out a permission slip for the child to receive this service.

“I hope we have a good turnout. Through Justice for Neveah, Risa has been doing a lot of outreach and getting people signed up,” said Brewer.

The Michigan Masonic Child ID Program provides the family with everything needed for the Amber Alert System.

The program also is considered one of the most comprehensive programs of its kind by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and is endorsed by the Michigan Sheriff's Association as well.

For more information about the event or to schedule your own event, contact Brewer at (734) 231-4791, by e-mail at bernardbrewer@comcast.net, or visit the Michigan Child ID Web site at www.michip.org.

2009 Year in Review: Triumph, tragedy, and turmoil mark area's top stories

snipped from the top story article:

Nevaeh Buchanan, 5, vanished on May 24 from the parking lot of the Monroe apartment complex where she lived with her mother and grandmother.

The girl's body was found June 4 along a remote stretch of the River Raisin. She had been covered in concrete. The autopsy indicated that she may have been buried alive.

The search that ensued after she disappeared involved hundreds of volunteers and authorities. The case sparked enormous interest and gained nationwide media exposure before its tragic ending. The girl's mother, Jennifer Buchanan, appeared on Nancy Grace and other national television programs.

The investigation, which was handled by a task force of local, state, and federal law enforcement, saw the arrest of two men, both convicted sex offenders, including an ex-boyfriend of Nevaeh's mother, but neither was charged in the crime.

The funeral in Monroe for Nevaeh attracted hundreds of mourners.

A glass-enclosed hearse carrying Nevaeh's small white casket and pulled by a Harley-Davidson stopped by Munson Park, where the girl liked to play.

A reward of $21,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of anyone responsible for the murder.http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091227/NEWS16/912270313/-1/SRMAIN

Sherry Buchanan said she hurts every day, but the holidays are among the hardest. She also is dreading Feb. 3, when her granddaughter would have turned 6 years old.

"I think about Nevaeh constantly. I just wish that she was here now," she said just days before Christmas. "I raised her from the first day she was born. I did everything with her."

Mrs. Buchanan recalled the morning after unwrapping gifts two years ago when Nevaeh crawled into her lap and hugged her tightly.

"She told me, 'Grandma, I love you,'•" Mrs. Buchanan said.

It was just more than seven months ago that Nevaeh went missing from the parking lot of Charlotte Arms Apartments, where she lived with her grandmother and her mother, Jennifer Buchanan.
Nevaeh, who was last seen riding a scooter in the complex on May 24, was found 10 days later in a shallow grave, encased in concrete, along the banks of the River Raisin.


The killing of Nevaeh was the area's most high-profile crime in 2009. Authorities said they cannot recall a more sensational or heinous slaying in the history of Monroe County or Monroe, a city settled by French-Canadians in the late 1700s before Michigan became a state.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office has released no new details since the autopsy showed the little girl was smothered and may have been buried alive.

To date, no witnesses have come forward, and the case remains unsolved.

Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said a special task force of local, state, and federal law enforcement continues to investigate and the crime remains a high priority.

"Investigators are still pursuing leads and following up on additional information received. The investigation is far from having reached a dead end," he said in a written statement.

The case sparked enormous interest, dominated headlines in newspapers and on the Internet, and gained nationwide media exposure before two fishermen found her body in the shallow grave along the riverbank in Raisinville Township.

Jennifer Buchanan, and Nevaeh's father, Shane Hinojosa of West Toledo, appeared on CNN's Nancy Grace and other national TV programs.

"The Nevaeh Buchanan case has received far more national media coverage than any other homicide investigation in Monroe County's history," Sheriff Crutchfield said.

The tragedy has been followed with community projects designed to keep the victim's memory alive.

There have been candlelight vigils, spaghetti dinners, raffles, and other fund-raisers. Risa Thompson, a distant cousin of Nevaeh's, orchestrated the placement of a memorial park bench at a local elementary school and began a scholarship fund for needy preschoolers in Monroe.

The Westland, Mich., resident organized a Christmas party for needy children and their families, including many from Charlotte Arms Apartments. More than 150 children received toys, gloves, hats, and socks, and were treated to a Christmas dinner in Westland.

Ms. Thompson said she wants to keep Nevaeh's name alive in the community and keep the case in the public eye.

"I just want to make memories in her name and make her name stand out in a better light. I am trying to get justice served. She deserves it," she said.

Since Nevaeh's disappearance, the sheriff's office has fielded more than 13,000 tips, mostly from a phone line set up for the investigation.

Sheriff Crutchfield said investigators worked three-quarters of the tips into leads that were either cleared as unfounded or produced information that was helpful in the case.

"The tips have slowed down, which is normal. The task force is receiving tips weekly and the case is being worked on every day," he said.

Shortly after Nevaeh went missing, investigators focused on a pair of convicted sex offenders who were acquaintances of the mother, Jennifer Buchanan.

Investigators labeled George Kennedy and Roy Smith as "persons of interest" in the case. The men were never charged. They were sent back to prison to finish their original sentences after they were found guilty of violating parole by having contact with Nevaeh's family.

The investigation also has focused on the apartment complex where Nevaeh spent the last months of her short life.

Detectives assigned to the case last month distributed questions to residents, asking for written answers. The questions ask about their activities and whereabouts on the day Nevaeh went missing and whether they were the person responsible for the crime.

Diane Edwards said she and her family complied with the requests even though she had doubts about the questionnaire's usefulness.

"If we didn't fill it out, it would seem like we might have something to do with it," she said.

Sherry Buchanan said she prays each day for her granddaughter. She said she asks God to give Nevaeh this message: "Grandma loves you, baby, and don't ever think that I don't."

In her prayers, she also asks God that someone will come forward to admit to killing her granddaughter, providing answers to questions that will help bring her closure.

"I want to ask him, 'Why Nevaeh? Why did you pick her?'•" she said.

Lowell Kirk, a former Monroe resident who lives in Tennessee, was fishing with his stepson when they stumbled across Nevaeh's decaying, entombed body.

The men, who never had fished before at the spot on the river along Dixon Road near Ida-Maybee Road, spotted a block of poured concrete and noticed a bad smell.

The stepson, Guy Bickley of Frenchtown Township, chipped away a piece of the concrete, revealing what appeared to be human skin.

Mr. Kirk had made a surprise trip to Michigan to visit relatives, arriving at his stepson's home the day the girl went missing.

"The Lord sent me up there to find that little girl. I really believe that," he said. "I was on a mission from God. That's what it was."

A retired autoworker, Mr. Kirk said he often thinks about that day.

"Sometimes, I wake up, and she will come to my mind. I will never forget it," he said. "I got grandkids that age. I can't imagine that happening to them."

Hello everyone!  I hope all my fellow monkeys have been having a great new year. I wanted to stop in and just say that we continue working very hard to obtain justice for little Nevaeh.  Things are progressing I believe. The case is far from cold.

Anyway, Nevaeh's birthday is coming up. She would be turning 6 on February 3rd. I'd love to flood her with as many candles as we can. So if you get a minute please stop by and light one for her.

Thanks!

JessStar, I also posted this is Sandra's thread.

From Resignation
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

She is not dead, – the child of our affection, –
   But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protection,
   And Christ himself doth rule.

In the great cloister’s stillness and seclusion,
   By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sin’s pollution,
   She lives, who we call dead.

Day after day we think what she is doing
   In those bright realms of air;
Year after year her tender steps pursuing,
   Behold her grown more fair.

Thus do we walk with her, and keep unbroken
   The bond which nature gives,
Thinking that our remembrance, though unspoken,
   May reach her where she lives.

Not as a child shall we again behold her;
   For when with raptures wild
In our embraces we again enfold her,
   She will not be a child;

But a fair maiden, in her Father’s mansion,
   Clothed with celestial grace;
And beautiful with all the soul’s expansion
   Shall we behold her face.

Wow sister, that is really beautiful. The only way I know to comfort myself is to have the thoughts and feelings mentioned in that poem. Otherwise my heart hurts like never before.

Cookie, to answer your question, yes, I strongly believe there will be an arrest and this case will be solved. I can't wait for the day to come when I am standing in the courtroom watching the sob being arraigned for murder-an sob that not only stole Nevaeh's life away, but stole so much from and caused so much pain to so many people. There will be Justice for Nevaeh.

MONROE - Nevaeh Buchanan would have turned 6 yesterday. Although the girl was killed last spring, she was fresh in the minds of mourners who gathered at her grave here to remember her on her birthday.

"I wish she was here so I could make her a big old birthday cake," said Diane Lawson, her great aunt, the anguish in her voice apparent.

Instead, she put balloons on Nevaeh's grave that already was beautifully bedecked with a blanket of greenery and pink flowers. The heart on the balloon read "I love you."

Shaun Lawson, Nevaeh's cousin, said he organized the brief service in St. Joseph Cemetery to keep memory of the girl alive and as a reminder that her killer has not been found.
(http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=TO&Date=20100204&Category=NEWS02&ArtNo=2040374&Ref=AR&MaxW=200)
Jennifer Buchanan, left, visits the grave of her daughter, Nevaeh Buchanan, on what would have been her sixth birthday, along with Nevaeh's great aunt, Diane Lawson, and the Rev. Dale Hayford.

Nevaeh went missing on May 24 from the Charlotte Arms apartments, where she lived with her mother and grandmother.
She was last seen riding a scooter in the complex. The search for Nevaeh made national news and attracted thousands of volunteers. Her body was found 10 days later in a shallow grave, encased in concrete, along the banks of the River Raisin.

The case remains unsolved. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office has released no new details since the release of the autopsy, which showed the little girl may have been buried alive.

Before the service, the Rev. Dale Hayford, pastor of Community Crosswalk Church, said he remained in touch with some of the volunteer searchers, whom he described as deeply affected by their experience.

Investigators have received more than 13,000 tips. They described two convicted sex offenders as "persons of interest," but the men were never charged and were sent back to prison for violating parole by having contact with Nevaeh's family.

As a cold wind blew across the cemetery, Nevaeh's mother, Jennifer Buchanan, tied a Happy Birthday balloon to the gravestone.

Then Mr. Hayford recalled how family and friends had prayed that Nevaeh be found the night before the two fishermen happened across her body.

He said he prays now that her killer or killers would surrender to authorities. "For them ever to have peace in life, they have to turn themselves in," he said. "To get forgiveness, they've got to confess to the police as well."

He offered to accompany the killer on the trip to the authorities, and continued his prayer: "Father, I pray for the family that you took this life from, I pray for the police that you give them wisdom and understanding, and I pray for Nevaeh. Her body is here, but her soul is with you."

Thanks nut. I'd love to believe that Nevaeh's family is working hard to find her killer. But they're not.  I know because I work this case on a daily basis and am in constant contact with people in Monroe that are assisting. Her birthday was just a media op for them. But that's ok- no press is bad press if it means keeping Nevaeh's name alive. God bless her little soul.

The Search for Nevaeh Buchanan

Almost a year and 13,000 tips later, no killer has been charged with the child's death

It's the most high-profile murder case in our area in years. Nevaeh Buchanan, 5, was taken from her home and buried alive. It happened last summer, but to this day, the crime remains unsolved.

Her name was Nevaeh-- heaven spelled backward-- and on her tombstone, she's called "Monroe's Little Angel."

Diana Lawson is Nevaeh's great-aunt. She still lives in the Charlotte Arms apartment building, across the hall from where Nevaeh was last seen. That was May 24 of last year.

How Nevaeh disappeared is unclear. After a massive 10-day search, two fishermen uncovered her body. It was encased in cement along a bank of the River Raisin, near the town of Maybee.

A large, wooden cross now stands along the riverbank, marking the site where investigators recovered Nevaeh's body. It's here you'll also find signs offering a $20,000 reward to whomever can help solve this mystery.

Two weeks ago would have marked Nevaeh's sixth birthday. A small crowd gathered to remember the girl, including Nevaeh's mother, Jennifer Buchanan. Jennifer did not speak to the media.

She and Nevaeh's grandmother, who was the girl's legal guardian, have since moved out of Charlotte Arms.

Meantime, Nevaeh's aunt says she still contacts investigators, asking for updates.

We were all set to talk with a sergeant about the investigation and where it stands, when the sheriff of Monroe County pulled the plug. At this point, we are told there will be no on-camera interviews about the Nevaeh Buchanan case.

We do know the two men originally considered "persons of interest" are still in prison. George Kennedy and Roy Smith never faced new charges.

The convicted sex offenders were both found guilty of violating parole by contacting Nevaeh's family. They're currently finishing out their original sentences.

As for Nevaeh's great-aunt, she wonders how much detectives know and how much she doesn't. "They're not talking much about anything. I don't know if they've got anything, any clues."

That leaves her, and many others, to question: what led up to the killing of Monroe's little angel? Who took the young life of Nevaeh Buchanan? And perhaps the most nagging question of all -- Why?

The sheriff's office has fielded 13,000 tips. The lead detective continues to investigate every day. If you have any information, give them a call at 734-240-7550


There's also a great video on the site.

Thanks leroy!  That's a great idea!

I'd like to give everyone an update if I could. We are still working very hard on our Justice for Nevaeh project. I can assure you that this case is still very much alive and far from cold. I can't say much dye to confidentiality concerns but things are progressing nicely.

On the media front, we are planning several upcoming public events. First we are planning a large public event for the one year anniversary. I don't want to call it a celebration because it's far from something worth celebrating, but it will be in Nevaeh's honor. We will also be dedicating a brass plaque to place on our park bench that now sits at Nevaeh's preschool. Finally, we are planning a new publicity blitz that will focus principally on our reward posters. There are several other things in the work as well. I'll tell you more about them as they get closer.

I'd like to take this opportunity to send a very special thank you out to the Monroe Masons who have graciously offered their assistance with just about every past, present and future event.

Thanks everyone. Have a good day.

They will. I'm confident of that.   ::MonkeyGavel::

My group, Justice for Nevaeh, is in the process of planning some new events and promotions.  Suffice it to say at this point that the end of this month through the beginning of June will be pretty busy. On April 26, 2010, we are sponsoring a Nevaeh Buchanan Reward Poster Canvassing Event in which the community will be "canvassed" with over 5000 posters.  We are also in talks with businesses over a few "unorthodox" methods of publicizing the Reward Poster and our message. I'll tell you more about them once the talks are complete.  They're pretty cool to say the least.  Moreover, we are planning a large event to mark the One Year point of Nevaeh's abduction.  I don't like to call it an "anniversary" because anniversaries are intended as celebrations.  I don't view Nevaeh's abduction as something worth celebrating.  But we do think it will be a good opportunity to remind the community of how important it is to keep our children safe-to watch them, to be alert, to not turn their backs for one second and to listen to them.  We were initially going to dedicate our Park Bench at the event, but it appears that our dedication plaque will not be done in time.

We will be launching a new website shortly.  I will let you know when it's complete.  It's quite a bit of work, let me tell you.  Once it is done, I hope I can rely on all of you to help promote it.  I want as many hits as I can get!

There's so much more going on--these are just the high points.  We are doing everything we can to keep Nevaeh's name in the limelight and to ensure Justice is Served.  Justice for Nevaeh will not forget her, and we will not rest until Justice is Served.

Thanks for "listening."

Heather Miller of FoxToledo News is just a phenomenal person.  My Group, Justice for Nevaeh, sends  its sincerest appreciation and thanks for her newscast last evening promoting our Reward Poster Campaign.  The campaign will take place on Monday, and we've received tremendous support. Take a look at the video of the newcast if you get a moment.

WUPW  —  April 23, 2010  — A renewed effort is underway to help catch whoever killed 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan in May 2009 in Monroe, Mich.

Posters will soon be going up all over the city. The group "Justice for Neveah" will hold what they are calling a poster campaign next week.

Members are hoping to renew interest in the case and help heal a community who wants to see this little girl's killer caught.

The reward poster campaign will be this coming Monday 6-9 p.m. at the Moose Lodge Family Center on Macomb Street. A prayer service will conclude the event.

MONROE, Mich. (WUPW) - A renewed effort is underway to help catch whoever killed 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan in May 2009 in Monroe, Mich.

Posters will soon be going up all over the city. The group "Justice for Nevaeh" will hold what they are calling a poster campaign next week (download the poster).

Members are hoping to renew interest in the case and help heal a community who wants to see this little girl's killer caught.

The reward poster campaign will be this coming Monday 6-9 p.m. at the Moose Lodge Family Center on Macomb Street. A prayer service will conclude the event.

Reverend Dale Hayford of Cross Walk Community Church was searching an area behind an abandoned warehouse when he got word that the body of Nevaeh had been found.

She was covered in quickcrete, buried alive, and left at the bank of the River Raisin in Raisinville Township.

"I was searching by myself that day about 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock, and the phone call came across that they had found a body on the River Raisin," Rev. Hayford said.

The clergyman and hundreds of others began their searching soon after Nevaeh disappeared from the parking lot of her apartment complex Memorial Day Weekend in 2009.

More than 3,500 searches were performed all over Monroe County and into Lucas County near Toledo.

"Every area had been searched three to five times," Rev. Hayford said. "It was quite an effort and everybody in this community come together."

He said that what makes that fact that no suspect has been named so hard. They hope to begin to find closure by keeping her case fresh in everyone's mind.

'The community is still hurting," he said. "They want an answer. They want to find out what has happened. They are in pain and the community is still grieving over this."

Two rewards are being offered for the arrest of Nevaeh's killer. There is a $1,000 reward from Crimestoppers of Michigan and $20,000 reward from the FBI.


"We're hoping this person will turn himself in," Rev. Hayford said. "In order to find peace in their heart they are going to have to do that."

If you think you know anything at all about the abduction and murder of Nevaeh Buchanan you asked to call the Nevaeh Task Force at 734-457-6713.

What an absolutely phenomenal event we had tonight.  It was incredible.  We had just about every media outlet there.  Turnout was unbelievable. We handed out thousands of Reward Posters.  The community showed great support and resolve for Nevaeh. Publicly, I want to thank everyone that made this a partial success-it will be a total success if it leads to the tip or tips that bring it all together.  A special shout out goes out to RT, whose incredible dedication, energy and persistence makes this all possible.

Search continues for Nevaeh Buchanan's killer
Monday, April 26, 2010

On May 24 of last year, five-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan vanished from the Charlotte Arms apartment complex.

Eleven days later her body was found encased in cement along the banks of the River Raisin.

In the days following, persons of interest began to surface, but no one was ever charged with the crime. Despite the passage of time, many in Monroe are hopeful including members of Nevaeh's family who say they have confidence in the sheriff's office and they believe investigators know more than they are letting on.

Nevaeh's grandmother Sherry Buchanan tells us she is in constant contact with detectives . She says there isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't think about her granddaughter Nevaeh and the search for her killer. "I just want this person to come forward, whoever did this. I don't have any more anger than what I had on day one."

Sherry Buchanan says, "I think they have evidence they just aren't sharing right now." Investigators refuse to speak with the media on camera. In fact, our last interview with the sheriff was back on June 24.

http://abclocal.go.com/wtvg/story?section=news/local&id=7407148

There's a great segment on our group, Justice for Nevaeh, on the video on this site.  I'm very proud of it.

Justice For Nevaeh

FBI Offering $20,000 Reward, Group Circulating New Flyers, Grandmother still suspicious

POSTED: Monday, April 26, 2010
UPDATED: 11:54 pm EDT April 26, 2010
MONROE, Mich. -- Residents of the Monroe area haven't given up their search for justice for a girl who died nearly a year ago.

Watch: Nevaeh Case Reward $20,000

The FBI is offering a $20,000 reward, and Crime Stoppers of Michigan is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever was responsible for Nevaeh Buchanan's death.

Reward posters for businesses and fliers for individuals were distributed from Monday night at the Monroe Moose Family Center 884.

The distribution event was also part of a prayer service and vigil in memory of the murdered 5-year-old.

Nevaeh's grandmother Sherry Buchanan attended the vigil and is still suspicious about entire ordeal.

Amid prayers and the well wishes of others, Sherry told Local 4 that her daughter, Nevaeh's mother, Jennifer Buchanan is no longer being looked at by police.

“They have talked to me many times and they have told me that they have cleared her" Buchanan said.

But she has some suspicions on the involvement of others.

Her gut tells her that George Kennedy, her daughter’s boyfriend at the time, was probably involved.

“In my heart, George treated that baby like it was his own kid…and I still feel to this day that he had something to do with it" Buchanan said.

Kennedy to this day remains locked up, not because of Nevaeh’s abduction and murder, but because of a parole violation.

Nevaeh’s mother Jennifer Buchanan attended the vigil, but didn’t want to talk.

Friends, family, and complete strangers gathered for a prayer to remember her memory, and to hopefully never forget.

Nevaeh was 5 when she disappeared May 24, 2009, from an apartment complex in Monroe, about 35 miles south of Detroit. Her body was found 10 days later along the nearby River Raisin.

An autopsy found she suffocated after inhaling dirt. No one has been arrested.

Looking for justice

— Evening News photos by KIM BRENT Sherry Buchanan (far left) stands among a crowd of family and friends, including Lorie Rudd of Monroe (back center) and daughter-in-law Kelly Buchanan (far right) during a prayer vigil held in honor of Nevaeh Buchanan Monday night. Several area pastors, family, friends and community members attended the event, which was organized by the group Justice for Nevaeh, whose aim is to continue the push to bring those responsible for her kidnapping and murder to justice. Spread The News



 


Ray Kisonas "/> It was almost a year ago when Dion Elmore helped coordinate a search involving hundreds of volunteers who walked roads and fields searching for any sign of Nevaeh Buchanan.

On Monday night Mr. Elmore, a Monroe resident, clutched his 2-year-old daughter, Alexis, as he joined other supporters at the Monroe Moose Family Center on N. Macomb St. to distribute posters.

“I couldn’t imagine if something like that would ever happen to (Alexis),” Mr. Elmore said. “Nevaeh was so precious and so innocent. It’s a shame.”

Supporters gathered at the lodge, which is just down the street from the apartment complex where the 5-year-old girl was abducted Memorial Day weekend. Nevaeh disappeared May 24 from her Charlotte Arms apartment and her body was found June 4 by fishermen along the River Raisin. Her body was left in a crude grave covered by concrete off Dixon Rd. Officials said she died of asphyxiation, possibly was buried alive. No arrest has been made.

Risa Thompson, a relative of the little girl, organized Monday’s rally, which included poster giveaways, songs and prayer. Ms. Thompson said 5,000 fliers have been printed along with 20 large posters that are to be distributed throughout the area.

Several months ago, about 2,500 fliers were distributed and Ms. Thompson said many of those she encountered thought an arrested was made. That’s why another round of distribution was necessary, she said.

“This gets awareness out there,” Ms. Thompson said. “It was unbelievable the amount of people who thought the case was solved. They had no clue.”

Attending Monday’s rally were several Buchanan family members, including the girl’s grandmother, Sherry; her uncle, Mike, and her mother, Jennifer, who declined to comment.

In the months that have passed, Sherry Buchanan continues to work at a grocery store and has moved from Charlotte Arms. Jennifer Buchanan is staying with a friend. Mr. Buchanan got married and works many hours. Life continues, they said, but Ms. Buchanan said she thinks about her granddaughter every day.

“I feel like I’m in a time-zone, like a standstill,” she said. “I just keep going day by day. It’s been hard.”

Mr. Buchanan said he tries to keep life as normal as possible. But he always has his niece and the events surrounding her tragic death on his mind.

“I can’t seem to get it out of my head,” he said. “No matter what, she’s there.”

Family and supporters are hoping the situation will be resolved but nothing new has developed. They hope rallies and the thousands of posters will keep Nevaeh’s name alive and that someone will come forward with new information about a suspect.

“I want to keep her name out there,” said Joann Combs, grandmother of Nevaeh’s father, Shane Hinojosa. “I’d like the killer to walk in and say ‘I’m the one who did it.’ ”

The Rev. Dale Hayford, a Buchanan family friend, said it is vital to keep the case in front of the public, even though it’s been almost a year without any new reported developments. And keeping her face in the community is an important step.

“We need to put this back into the public to shake our memories,” said the Rev. Hayford, pastor of Crosswalk Community Church. “The community is still hurting and still bewildered by this. We need to pray for God to help in this situation because it needs to be solved before it happens again.”

Thank you cookie.  I'm not looking for a gold star. I'm just looking for Justice.  I can't let this one go. I think about this Little Angel every single day.  I don't know why she's hit me so hard.  I've stopped trying to figure that out.  Instead, I focus my energy on keeping Her name alive, having events and dedications in Her Honor, and finding the dirty rotten SOB that took her precious life.

Thanks leroy!  That's a great idea!

I'd like to give everyone an update if I could. We are still working very hard on our Justice for Nevaeh project. I can assure you that this case is still very much alive and far from cold. I can't say much dye to confidentiality concerns but things are progressing nicely.

On the media front, we are planning several upcoming public events. First we are planning a large public event for the one year anniversary. I don't want to call it a celebration because it's far from something worth celebrating, but it will be in Nevaeh's honor. We will also be dedicating a brass plaque to place on our park bench that now sits at Nevaeh's preschool. Finally, we are planning a new publicity blitz that will focus principally on our reward posters. There are several other things in the work as well. I'll tell you more about them as they get closer.

I'd like to take this opportunity to send a very special thank you out to the Monroe Masons who have graciously offered their assistance with just about every past, present and future event.

Thanks everyone. Have a good day. 



Hello fellow Monkeys!  I hope all is well with you all!  I just wanted to give you all an update on the efforts of Justice for Nevaeh.  First, we just signed a contract with Lake Erie Transit to run our Reward Poster on the transit buses.  The posters will run on the outside and inside of the buses for a minimum of 3 months and will cover a VERY wide area.  We've already distributed over 10,000 reward posters and saw this as the next most logical step in getting the word out to the maximum number of people possible.

Second, we are also planning a Justice for Nevaeh Children's Extravaganza for May 22, 2010 to mark the One Year point.  It will be a carnival type event and very kid-centric.  We're gonna have carnival-type things there, food, guest speakers--a whole bunch of things. With the Grace of God, we'll get it all together!  We will be putting out a press release shortly and I'll post it here.

Third, our Nevaeh Buchanan Preschool Scholarship Fund has now reached a point where we are able to start helping at-risk children realize a preschool education.  Importantly, the Nevaeh Buchanan Preschool Scholarship Fund focuses on the needs of the child, as we believe EVERY child should be given every opportunity to excel.  Nevaeh loved preschool--this is a great great way to Honor Her Life.  News of our first Scholarship "winners" will be coming out shortly.

Fourth, our Memorial Plaque for the park bench we installed last year will be done in early June.  It is absolutely gorgeous.  I can't wait until the dedication, after which I will post a picture of it. 

We have even more things on the horizon to Honor the Life of this precious Angel, Nevaeh. In the meantime, I want to give a VERY VERY VERY special thanks to my Partner in all this, RT, without whom NONE of this would possible.  ::MonkeyKiss::

Justice for Nevaeh Announces up to $1,500 Anonymous Reward for Information on the Abduction and Murder of Nevaeh Buchanan

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (May 10, 2010)– MONROE, MI:  Justice for Nevaeh, an association devoted to seeking Justice for Nevaeh Buchanan, a five-year old little girl who was abducted last year while playing outside her home in Monroe and brutally murdered, is offering up to $1,500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for committing this heinous crime.

“The citizens of Monroe and the surrounding areas came together to search tirelessly to help find little Nevaeh during the time she was missing” said representatives of Justice for Nevaeh.  “Now we need the community’s help in solving this crime.  Justice for Nevaeh is devoted to seeing an arrest and conviction and is offering a way to provide information anonymously.  We don’t want your name.  We want your information, no matter how insignificant it may seem.  It is often something simple, like someone unexpectedly missing work, falling ill, selling a car, or moving, that provides the one key thing that pulls the entire case together and gets a child killer off the streets.  That’s our goal.”

Anyone having information should call Justice for Nevaeh’s anonymous tip line at (734) 419-3232 or (412) 849-0079.  Information may also be sent anonymously by email to Justice4Nevaeh@gmail.com.

Those still searching for her killer will commemorate 5-year-old Nevaeh's life with a carnival-type event in Monroe on Saturday, nearly a year after her death.

The community group Justice for Nevaeh is sponsoring "Remembering Nevaeh - One Year Later" at the Moose Lodge near the Monroe apartment complex where the girl was kidnapped May 24, 2009.

"We didn’t want to word it as a celebration, we didn’t want it to call it an anniversary," the group's co-chairwoman Risa Thompson, 42, of Livonia, a distant cousin of Nevaeh's father, said today. "But since Nevaeh was so young and innocent, we wanted to gear it toward the kids. We wanted the kids to have fun, and enjoy being a child. But at the same time it’s going to give the parents the knowledge to protect their child against another heinous crime."

From noon to 9 p.m., bounce houses, carnival games with prizes, food, live entertainment and exhibitions by local gymnastics and karate students will take place in the parking lot at 1320 North Macomb Street, where volunteers gathered a year ago to mobilize searches.

The event will also host presentations on child safety, abuse prevention, counseling and creating a child safety contingency plan. Pastor Dale Hayford of the Community Crosswalk Church in Monroe, who helped host the little girl's funeral, will open the event with a prayer.

Two fisherman found her body on June 4, buried in dirt and covered with concrete along the River Raisin. An autopsy showed the preschooler suffocated after inhaling dirt. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office is still searching for her killer.

The event is also designed to raise money for a preschool scholarship offered through the Monroe Public Schools. So far, the group has raised $1800 to pay for other children to attend Riverside Early Learning Center, Nevaeh's school, and to place a memorial bench outside.

Information about her disappearance can be forwarded to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Nevaeh Buchanan Task Force at 734-457-6713.

For more information about Saturday's event, contact Justice for Nevaeh at 734-419-3232 or 412-849-0079 or e-mail Justice4Nevaeh@gmail.com.

MONROE, Mich. (WUPW) - It's been nearly a year since 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan was snatched from her Monroe apartment complex.

This weekend the group Justice for Nevaeh is seeking justice for the little girl will mark the occasion with an event aimed at keeping other kids safe.

They aren't calling it an anniversary, just simply "Remembering Nevaeh: One Year Later."

The 5-year-old was last seen May 24, 2009, the day before Memorial Day. Her body was found a week and a half later on the banks of the River Raisin in Raisinville Township buried and covered in quick-crete.

Ever since, Justice for Nevaeh has been holding events and poster drives to keep her story fresh in everyone's minds and reminding everyone her killer is still out there.

"As fast as it came up, a lot of information stopped," said Risa Thompson. "So people weren't aware. I know when we did our first poster campaign in September I was amazed at how many people didn't know. They thought it was solved. It was a done deal."

The "Remembering Nevaeh" event will feature food, games, and entertainment geared for families. Special presentations will be held each hour for parents and tips on how to talk to your kids and what to do to make sure they don't become a target.

It will be held Saturday from 12- 9.p.m. at the Moose Lodge on North Macomb Street in Monroe.

Police have not made any arrests in the case.

Yes there is Sister.  And it's been tremendously emotional for us.  Our plaque for the Memorial Park Bench came in today.  It's beautiful.  A dedication event is tentatively scheduled for Saturday June 5th, which is the day after Nevaeh was found.  It's going to be a very emotional ceremony.

Seeking justice for Nevaeh
by Charles Slat , last modified May 23. 2010 12:11AM
A year ago, John Morse sometimes would play alone outside his family’s Monroe apartment.

“I don’t do that anymore,” said John, 9, who was one of Nevaeh Buchanan’s playmates at the Charlotte Arms apartment complex where the two lived.

That was before Nevaeh was snatched from the apartment complex’s parking lot over Memorial Day weekend and her body later found covered with concrete in a shallow grave at a remote fishing spot along the banks of the River Raisin.

Now, a year after the tragedy, Nevaeh’s death continues to hang like a pall over many in the community. The incident has changed the lives of those who knew the little girl and those who only knew of her.

In fact, John’s family recently moved away from the N. Macomb St. apartments because of lingering concerns raised by Nevaeh’s abduction and murder.

He and many others touched by the tragedy were among those who attended an event dubbed “Remembering Nevaeh: One Year Later” Saturday at the Monroe Moose Family Center on N. Macomb St., not far from the apartment where Nevaeh lived. Organizers weren’t calling it an anniversary or celebration but more of an awareness campaign.

“This is just to bring awareness,” said Risa Thompson of Garden City, a distant relative of the Buchanan family who, with Pittsburgh lawyer Joe Starkey, founded Justice for Nevaeh, a nonprofit organization seeking to bring the killer to justice. “A lot of people don’t realize that the person who did this isn’t caught yet.”

But many at Saturday’s event didn’t need a reminder.

John’s mom, Dorothy, said she keeps an even closer watch over the youngest of her three sons whenever he goes outside. “Every five or 10 minutes I’m out there checking on him,” she said. “As of today, he’s got his own cell phone.”

They lived in the apartment for four years before Nevaeh moved in. They moved out recently because Miss Morse’s 15-year-old has refused to stay at the place since the murder, opting to live with a friend’s family instead.

It is fear shared by many. It is fear that a killer still stalks the streets and might strike again.

David Simpson, a representative of the Greater Toledo Chapter of Parents of Murdered Children and Other Survivors of Homicide, a support group, understands those fears too well. He said Nevaeh’s murder refreshed painful memories of the similar murder of his 4-year-old sister, Stacy, on May 1, 1969.

The little girl was playing outside on her tricycle and suddenly disappeared. Her bike was found abandoned at the end of the street. After a six-hour search, her strangled body was found hidden under items in a garage four doors away. A 19-year-old neighbor boy confessed to committing the crime.

Mr. Simpson was 10 at the time and remembers going door to door with police showing a photo of his younger sister to area residents. He said the search seemed like an eternity and he can’t imagine the anguish of the Buchanan family who endured weeks before Nevaeh’s body was found and waits for a killer to be brought to justice. Now, 51, he still struggles with his sister’s loss, as well as the later murder of a 19-year-old brother. That’s one of the reasons he’s active in the Toledo group.

“You have your good days. You have bad days,” he said. “We’re here to tell people they’re not alone.”

The circumstances of the Nevaeh case were terribly familiar to him. “That was gut-wrenching for me,” he said of the Monroe murder.

A variety of items were for sale at the event, including Nevaeh T-shirts, buttons and bookmarks. Money raised from Saturday’s event will be added a scholarship fund. Meanwhile, the group also has raised $1,500 as a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the murderer. Ms. Thompson said the reward money is meant to take tips from people who, for whatever reason, want to provide info at arm’s length from law enforcement agencies. Reward money offered through police agencies already totals $20,000.

Besides games, refreshments and entertainment, the Saturday event featured a bunch of information for parents to help keep kids safe. Among those providing information was Corey Pierce, a counselor from Temperance, who talked about the resources available to parents and distributed a list of Web sites, including www.pollyklaas.org, where free child safety kits are available.

The Rev. Dale Hayford, who led search parties, prayer meetings and vigils, said he continues to pray that the murderer steps forward. He offered a community prayer at the event Saturday and continues to offer to counsel and act as a conduit to police agencies if the killer steps forward.

But he said there appears to be no information about progress or lack of progress in the murder case.

His theory — one of many in the community — is that Nevaeh knew her killer.

“I feel it was someone she knew because, from what the family tells me, if it was anybody else, she would have been kicking and screaming,” he said.

"Justice for Nevaeh" hosts event in Monroe
Wednesday, June 30, 2010

They won't rest until her killer is convicted. The mystery of who killed Nevaeh Buchanan just over a year ago haunts the 5 year old's family and the Monroe community. In Monroe Wednesday night, a group called "Justice for Nevaeh" hosted an event to highlight its anonymous reward campaign.

Their anger is growing as each day goes by without a suspect. Vicky Wilson, who's a friend of the Buchanan's, says, "There's no reason for this to go on."

Dozens of people gathered at the Moose Lodge on North Macomb picking up posters to take home and distribute. The posters say: "We don't want your name, we want your information." They show Nevaeh's smiling face.

Kimberly Cundick says, "Somebody does know something. I think there's more out there and people just aren't talking."

Back in May of 2009, Nevaeh went missing from her home at the Sherwood Arms Arpartment complex. Eleven days later, two fishermen found the 5 year old's body incased in cement, buried along the banks of the River Raisin.

Christina Pillette took matters into her own hands. She and her husband moved into the home next door to one of the men identified as a person of interest by police early in the investigation. They set up surveillance recording for every move. Pillette says, "We have three cameras that we could watch him even if he was in the front, the back, the side. We could watch him at night and we could actually hear what he was saying."

The Pillette's have since moved and offer their support to the group "Justice for Nevaeh", along with her family. Nevaeh's great aunt Diana Lawson says, "I won't rest until that killer is behind bars. That's the way I feel about it."

Nevaeh's mother Jennifer Buchanan says, "We're not giving up, we keep trying everyday. We still have hope that we're going to find the person."

Their strategy is to keep Nevaeh's tragic story front and center. "That's the only way we're going to bring this case to an end and find justice for Nevaeh."

They're offering a cash reward of up to $1500 for anyone with information leading to the arrest and conviction to Nevaeh's killer. You can contact "Justice for Nevaeh" at 734-419-3232.

Law enforcement continues to work very hard on this case.  The FBI is also still very involved.  It's only a matter of time until this case is solved.  Until then, Justice for Nevaeh will continue to make sure the case progresses until there's a conviction.  We will continue to hold our events, to make media appearances, to post Nevaeh's picture all over the place.  We're doing what we can to keep her name and spirit alive and to hound the living sh*t out of whomever did this to her with constant reminders of the precious little life that was taken away.  We have her photo in yards, business, on buses, banners, posters, you name it.  I'm trying to stay patient because I know these cases are very difficult to solve.  But it will be solved.  If anything, Justice for Nevaeh will see to it.

God Bless You, Nevaeh, Our Little Angel.

Police seek tips in child's 2009 abduction and slaying By Rupa Mikkilineni, Nancy Grace Producer
July 5, 2010 10:50 a.m. EDT

New York (CNN) -- Her mother named the little girl Nevaeh, "heaven" spelled backwards. Jennifer Buchanan says her daughter always was a little bit of heaven to her.

Nevaeh Buchanan was 5 when she was kidnapped on May 24 last year; her body was found in a shallow grave on June 4.

A fisherman found Nevaeh's body along the bank of the River Raisin near Monroe, Michigan, about 10 miles from the apartment she shared with her mother and grandmother.

An autopsy showed the child died of asphyxiation. According to local news reports, she was most likely buried alive, though police will not formally confirm details. They did say, however, that a material similar to cement was found on top of her body.

A year later, no one has been charged with abducting and killing Nevaeh. Her family is still waiting for answers.

Last month, on the anniversary of the child's death, an organization called Justice for Nevaeh held a rally down the street from the apartment complex where she lived. The event included games and food for children as well as karate, self-defense classes and child safety presentations.

Nevaeh was last seen the evening of May 24, playing in the U-turn driveway of her apartment complex.

"She wasn't supposed to be outside," Jennifer Buchanan said. "She was supposed to be upstairs at a neighbor's playing with her friend at their place."

Buchanan said she searched for Nevaeh after another child tattled that she was playing outside. She recalled the cold fear that gripped her when she found her daughter's tricycle abandoned at the edge of the property.

"The sun was going down. It was almost 8 p.m. so I went looking for Nevaeh, but we couldn't find her," said Buchanan, 25, who herself had recently been in trouble with the law. She had spent a few weeks in jail before being placed on probation in connection with a home invasion.

"I was in some trouble, but after I got out I focused on my daughter and getting my life back together," Buchanan said.

Nevaeh's official guardian was her grandmother, who lived in the apartment with them.

Buchanan said police told her that Nevaeh was not sexually assaulted and that no drugs were found in her system.

Police would not discuss whether the child was sexually abused, but Detective Sgt. Heath Velliquette of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said toxicology reports came back negative.

Early in the investigation, police focused on two of Buchanan's friends. Both were convicted sex offenders. The men were arrested on parole violations and questioned extensively. Neither has been officially named a suspect.

One of the men was living at a nearby motel, and police searched his room but found no forensic evidence to connect him to the child's disappearance.

Buchanan explained that she met one of the men while reporting to her probation officer. She said she had known him for two years and never left her daughter alone with him.

Nevaeh called him "Daddy George," and he brought her toys and gifts, Buchanan added. She said she knew about his past rape case, adding, "I believe people should get a second chance."

Police have since shifted their focus away from the two sex offenders.

"We are looking in a different direction in recent months, based on our investigation," said Velliquette.

Investigators are looking at another Monroe resident, but Velliquette would provide no further details.

"This is not a cold case," Velliquette said. "We are following up leads and investigating new information every day."

Police say that while they are not naming any suspects or persons of interest, investigators have not ruled anyone out either.

The FBI is offering a $20,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of a suspect. If anyone has any information, police ask that you call their tip line at 734-457-6713.

Monroe, MI - There’s still no justice in the death of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan, but those who want that crime solved are reaching out to keep the same thing from happening to another child.

Sunday a back to school safety event was held at the Riverside Early Learning Center, where she would’ve went to school, in Monroe Michigan.

There were activities and school supplies were also available but most importantly the group, Justice for Nevaeh, wanted to make sure area children and parents were equipped with the knowledge to avoid danger.

Neveah was kidnapped and brutally murdered last year. So far no one has been charged in the case.

More than a year ago, five-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan was abducted and murdered. Today, the community came together to remember her life and to teach children how to stay safe during the upcoming school year. It was called the Nevaeh Back-to-School event, and experts were on hand to give parents advice on safety and also hand out school supplies. The group "Justice for Nevaeh" helped organize the free public event. Organizers hope to keep Neveah's case in the spotlight until her killer is caught.

Back to School Safety Event!

On Sunday, August 15, 2010, we held Nevaeh's Back to School Safety Event at the Riverside Early Learning Center in Monroe.  The event was a great success thanks to those who worked tirelessly to put it all together.  Although we were competing with the Circus and the Monroe County Jazz Festival, we had well over 100 kids, and each of them received a hand-sewn tote bag (thanks to Risa's mom!) filled with back to school supplies.  We served hotdogs, fresh-cooked sweet corn, chips, pretzels, cheetos, punch and iced tea.  But the most popular "foods" of the day--at least for the kids--were the snow cones and all-you-can-eat cotton candy!  And best of all, everything was free for everyone in attendance.

Another popular item with the kids were the boxes full of toys, games, puzzles, stuffed-animals--you name it!  Each child was given the chance to rummage through the boxes and take whatever they wanted.   Now, one would think doing something like that would be a recipe for disaster, but I'll tell you, these were some of the greatest kids we've ever had the pleasure of meeting.  Courteous, generous, sharing--they were just downright awesome kids.  And as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, I am certain that Nevaeh was looking down upon everyone, smiling ear to ear.

We will now begin planning our Second Annual Halloween Bash.  Stay tuned for the details.

Oh, and a VERY special thanks to Kim's daughter who, although just 10 years old, worked very hard right alongside us adults setting up, cleaning up and tearing down.  Talk about energy, she was incredible.  THANK YOU!

And finally, we would like to extend a VERY special thanks to WTVG ABC Toledo and WUPW Fox Toledo for covering our event live.  THANK YOU!

A new poster seeks answers to Nevaeh Buchanan's murder
Posted: Sep 12, 2010 9:10 PM EDT Updated: Sep 12, 2010 9:27 PM EDT

By Dick Berry - email

Posted by Dave Dykema - email

MONROE, MI (WTOL) - A new poster will soon show up all over Monroe, MI, in an effort to solve the case of the murder of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.

Nevaeh was abducted last year while playing outside her apartment. Her body was later found buried under concrete along the River Raisin.

Authorities have hit a dead end in their search for her killer. Websites like Justice for Nevaeh--even a Facebook page--have been set up. Still nothing. Now there's a new effort, this one involving an emotional poster.

"My message to the killer would be to take a look at the poster. Read it in the comfort of your own home," Joe Starkey of Justice for Nevaeh said.

In the poster, Nevaeh talks directly to her killer saying, "Tell me, how do you sleep at night knowing what you did to me? When you fall asleep, do you hear my heart beating? Do you hear me breathing? Giggling? Crying? You were once 5 just like me. Tell me, did I deserve this?"

Starkey says, "Think about the emotion of this poster and what this child felt. Come to grips and see if you can continue to live with yourself."

Nevaeh's words conclude: "Tell them what you did or what you know so that we all can rest in peace."

Tips about Nevaeh's disappearance continue to be accepted by calling 734-457-6713.

New push to find Nevaeh Buchanan's killer
Sunday, September 12, 2010


Five-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan was abducted and murdered over a year ago. The case remains unsolved,

The group "Justice for Nevaeh" organizes dozens of events aimed at finding the killer. Recently they launched a new campaign. "We decided that we were going to take a little bit more of an aggressive approach," said Justice for Nevaeh co-chair Joe Starkey.

"We've put together a poster which is actually Nevaeh talking. It's Nevaeh's message," Starkey explains. The message includes things like, "How do you sleep at night knowing what you did to me?" and "Did I deserve this?"

Starkey hopes such a forward approach will convince anyone with information to come forward. "We need to do something to jog people's memories. We need to do something to make people understand the case is not solved," he says.

While Justice for Nevaeh doesn't work directly with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, the group passes along any information they receive to detectives. Investigators says tips still come in regarding the case, and they follow up on every one.

"It will be solved. The person who is out there, I hope they are still looking over their shoulders," says Starkey. If you have any information about the case, you can call the Justice for Nevaeh tip line at 734-419-3232.

Thanks Cookie.  Our Campaign received tremendous media attention.  In fact, we will be on the Toledo 24 morning show tomorrow.  Based on the number of hits we've received on our website and feedback from the community, Nevaeh's message is having its intended effect.  I pray to God it has the intended effect on the "right" person or persons.

Hello Everyone!  I hope you all are doing well.  Justice for Nevaeh has been very active lately. We are currently planning Nevaeh's Second Annual Halloween Party for October 28th.  It's going to be phenomenal.  We're very excited about it.

In the short run, we will be issuing a press release very soon for an October 16th Press Conference at which we will be announcing a very significant change in our Reward Campaign.  I can't let the cat out of the bag just yet, but it will surprise everyone I'm sure!

In the meantime, here's our Halloween Invitation:

OH MY GOODNESS is all I can say!  Our turnout for Nevaeh's Second Annual Halloween Party exceeded our wildest expectations!  Our final tallies (estimates because we were so busy we lost count!):

350 hotdogs
10 cases of chips
Pounds and Pounds of pasta
Pounds and Pounds of different salads
10 large cans of beans
20 dozen of cookies and cupcakes
many gallons of drinks


For the kids, we gave out over 200 goody bags, over 100 pumpkins (we provided all the crafts they needed to decorate them), and held a costume contest for the top 8 costumes.  CONGRATULATIONS to the winners!  And best of all, all of the kids had a spectacular time.  It was so nice seeing so many happy kids dressed in their pretty, scary, unusual costumes, all running around having the times of their lives.

Many thanks to EVERYONE that helped make Nevaeh's Second Annual Halloween Party a huge success.

Next up:  Our Christmas Party--stay tuned!

Justice for Nevaeh

I am so excited to see what new clever thing you folks have done!
We made the announcement yesterday at Nevaeh's Second Annual Halloween Party.  Thanks to the incredible generosity and compassion of an anonymous donor, our reward has increased twofold to $50,000!  The $50,000 reward is made up of three parts.  $20,000 is being offered by the Nevaeh Buchanan Task Force.  $2,500 is being offered by Crimestoppers Michigan.  And Justice for Nevaeh's reward now stands at $27,500!

We will begin distributing posters bearing the new Reward amounts immediately.  You will also see them popping up around the community, on buses, in leaflets, ANY WAY we can get the word out.

Having said that, posters and things like that can only go so far.  There is NO SUBSTITUTION FOR WORD OF MOUTH!  So tell everyone you can.  I will post a link shortly to the new reward poster.  Send it to everyone on your email list.  Tell everyone you work with, socialize with, family, friends, everyone.  Together we can bring this Child the JUSTICE she deserves.

Thank you.  And once again, our very deep heartfelt thanks goes out to our anonymous donor.

MONROE, Mich. -- A group aimed at solving the 2009 slaying of a 5-year-old Michigan girl has raised the reward in the case to $50,000.

Nevaeh Buchanan disappeared May 24, 2009, from an apartment complex in Monroe -- about 35 miles south of Detroit. Her body was found in a shallow grave 10 days later along the nearby River Raisin.

An autopsy found she suffocated after inhaling dirt. No one has been arrested.

Justice for Nevaeh is offering the $50,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case.

The FBI and Crime Stoppers are also offering rewards.

There's a new strategy in Monroe to solve the case of 5-year old Nevaeh Buchanan, who was abducted and killed a year-and-a-half ago.

A candle in the Monroe Moose Lodge burned for Nevaeh Thursday night. The young girl vanished from her Monroe apartment in May 2009.

Then came the grisly discovery two weeks later. Her body was found buried in a shallow grave, encased in cement.

The unsolved murder mystery is now being approached with a new strategy.

Thousands of colored posters are being printed for circulation.

They feature a smiling Nevaeh and a new cash reward of up to $50,000 for any tipster who can help solve this case.

"We definitely need to get the word out," said volunteer Risa Thompson. "It's amazing how many still do not realize this case has not been solved."

Reward posters can be picked up at the front office at the Charlotte Arms Apartments on Macomb Street in Monroe.

Watching the video of Nevaeh skipping across the floor to pick up her Pre-School Diploma kills me inside every time I see it. How? Why?  Who?  We will find the answers.  My heart hurts to bad to allow this to go unsolved.

Watching the video of Nevaeh skipping across the floor to pick up her Pre-School Diploma kills me inside every time I see it. How? Why?  Who?  We will find the answers.  My heart hurts to bad to allow this to go unsolved.

Still no justice for murdered Monroe girl

5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan. 

MONROE, MI -- It has been nearly a year and a half since a 5-year-old Monroe, MI girl was abducted while playing outside and later found murdered.

But Nevaeh Buchanan's killer remains unknown and unpunished.

Some dedicated volunteers are doing what they can to bring justice to Nevaeh but they are not getting much help these days.

It is a story that hit a nerve in the summer of 2009: first missing, then found murdered little Nevaeh's case was every parent's worst nightmare come true.

Back then, hundreds gathered to pray for and mourn her. But now, just a dozen or so are still working so hard; handing out posters.

"We'd like for people to come in and take them, give them to their neighbors, their co-workers, friends, family. Anybody that they are close to that is willing to take these posters and put them up or hand them out or just talk about it period--just to get it back out there again," said "Justice for Neveah" vice president Risa Thompson.

Each poster is actually two: one message focuses on the details and the description of the heinous crime. The other pulls at the heart strings: a kind of message from Nevaeh herself asking her murderer how he or she can sleep at night knowing what they did to her.

Organizers say they are trying anything to help put this crime to rest.

"Obviously there's a key component missing to this case--a small piece of evidence or someone that needs to talk that has information. The goal is that the right person will get this information and make that phone call that's going to make a difference and bring justice to Nevaeh," said Thompson.

The group is hoping a $50 thousand reward will help get people talking about what happened to Nevaeh. In October, an anonymous donor doubled the then $25 thousand reward in an effort to help.

If you know anything about this crime, call (734) 457-6713.

Nevaeh Christmas party a good time with a serious message

by Laura Rice
Posted: 12.15.2010 at 11:32 PM

'MONROE, MI -- It has been 18 months since an unknown killer kidnapped and took the life of 5-year-old Monroe girl Nevaeh Buchanan.

Wednesday evening the Monroe community came together not only to keep Nevaeh's name and story in everyone's hearts and minds but to have fun and honor her memory.

Kids... many little girls with long, brown hair just like Nevaeh's... celebrated the season by decorating cookies, enjoying crafts and claiming some cool gifts.

It was a bittersweet reminder of this party's purpose.

"A lot of Nevaeh's friends are here and when they come up and they tell you, 'I remember her and I miss her.' It kind of hits you in the heart," said Joe Starkey, Justice for Nevaeh President.

Starkey and his partner funded this annual Christmas gathering themselves and with help from donations.

Organizers say they want the kids to just have fun but they want the parents to walk away with a more serious message.

"We need parents to realize that the killer is still out there and to be aware and keep an eye on their children. We never in a million years thought this would happen to us and it did," said Nevaeh's Grandma Carla Nash.

Parents hold their kids a little tighter with the memory of what happened to Nevaeh but, for the moment, everyone just has a little fun.

"This is something Nevaeh would have wanted," said Nash. "She would have loved this. And you look around and you see the other kids--they're having a blast and this is something Nevaeh would have enjoyed--she would have loved being here."

If you missed Wednesday's event, you can catch it again Thursday.

It runs from 5:00 pm until 8:30 pm at the Moose Lodge on North Macomb Street in Monroe.

Family, friends keep alive hope that justice will be served for Nevaeh

by Michelle Swartz , last modified January 21. 2011 11:07AM

— Evening News photo by KIM BRENT Carla Nash, Nevaeh Buchanan's paternal grandmother, (left) and Justice 4 Nevaeh founding member Risa Thompson talk with Brett Ansel with the area Crimestoppers about the continuing efforts to solve Nevaeh's case during a poster distribution event at the Monroe Moose Family Center Thursday night.
Spread The News

Monday will mark 20 months since Nevaeh Buchanan, 5, of Monroe was abducted outside her Monroe apartment on May 24, 2009.
Almost two weeks later, her body was found along the banks of the River Raisin in Raisinville Township. There has been no arrest in the case that drew intense attention from the community.

"It's frustrating but I still have hope," said Nevaeh's mother, Jennifer Buchanan. "I feel like we're getting closer."

She was one of several family members and friends who attended Thursday's event at the Monroe Moose Family Center to help publicize the increase of reward money, up to $50,000 for finding and convicting Nevaeh's killer. The event was hosted by the Justice for Nevaeh committee.

In October, an anonymous donor gave $25,000 toward the reward, increasing the Justice for Nevaeh reward to $27,500. The reward offered by Crimestoppers Michigan remains at $2,500 and the Nevaeh Buchanan Task Force at $20,000. In total, the reward is $50,000.

The intent of the poster event was to hand out new 'anonymous Reward" posters to the community and to get the word out about the importance of finding justice for the little girl.

On the left side of the poster, information about Nevaeh's abduction and murder are included as well as contact information for tipsters. The right side of the poster includes pictures of Nevaeh and her memorial site and the location where her body was discovered. It also includes contact information.

"So far, we've printed 10,000 copies of the new posters that we are passing out to all local businesses, churches and anywhere else we can put them," said Risa Thompson of Garden City, vice president of Justice for Nevaeh and a relative of Nevaeh's family. "We hope people will pass out the posters but we don't want them going door to door. We want them to do it in a safe environment, such as passing them out to friends, family, neighbors and co-workers."

Justice for Nevaeh is a small group led by president Joe Starkey of Pittsburgh, Pa., who got involved when he heard about the case when it hit national news. Mr. Starkey and Ms. Thompson paid for the posters out of their own pockets and hold community events, such as holiday parties and safety awareness programs. Proceeds from the occasional fundraisers held by the committee go toward a scholarship fund in Nevaeh's name.

"We have given out two scholarships so students, ages 3 to 4 years old, can go to Riverside Early Childhood Center. That's where Nevaeh went to school," Ms. Thompson said.

The committee is looking to expand and is in the process of filing paperwork to get 501c3 status as a nonprofit organization.

Justice for Nevaeh also keeps in contact with local investigators assigned to the unsolved case.

"We keep in close contact and we pass along all email or phone tips we get," Ms. Thompson said. "Tips come in sporadically, so it's hard to say how many we get, but we still do receive them. We share them with the police but we don't ask about the progress of the case because our goal is to get information into the right hands. We want to give them the information to help with the investigation."

Sherry Buchanan, Nevaeh's maternal grandmother, also speaks with local investigators but isn't getting many answers.
"It's so frustrating because we still don't know anything," she said. "I need answers and so does the community. The anonymous donor giving $25,000 is a miracle. It shows the community still cares and I appreciate that with all my heart."

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office maintains that the case is open and continues to follow leads.

Carla Nash of Monroe, Nevaeh's paternal grandmother, also attended Thursday's event. She believes it's important to keep Nevaeh, and the ongoing investigation, in the public eye.

"This happened to us and it could happen to you," she said. "I never thought it would happen to us in a million years but it did. I'm asking everyone to keep an eye out for their children

She and her family, including her son, Shane Hinojosa, Nevaeh's father, are dealing with their loss day by day.

"It's there every day. It doesn't just go away," she said. "My biggest thing is why. I want to know why this happened, especially to an innocent child."

Justice for Nevaeh promotes increased reward
by Pamela Osborne

 
MONROE, MICH. -- Justice for Nevaeh, a group dedicated to finding the killer of five-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan is putting on the pressure.  Their volunteers are hitting the streets with 5,000 posters promoting a $50,000 cash reward, in hopes up getting more leads.

On May 24, 2009 Nevaeh was abducted outside of her home in Monroe and murdered.  Nearly two years and $50,000 later, there have been no arrests and no answers.

“I really thought with the reward being up like that I thought somebody would come forward a lot sooner,” says Carla Nash.  Nevaeh’s memory in part is being kept alive by the posters being passed out by volunteers.  All of whom feel strongly about finding the killer of a child, most of them never knew.  “It’s not a solved crime so we need to be out there and find justice for her,” Adrienne Poupard.

Their search for justice has moved painfully slow, but organizers hold out hope that someone somewhere will be moved by the life she didn't get to live.  “We have to do one every month because you never know when the right person is going to take one and that's what were counting on,” says Risa Thompson, vice president of Justice for Nevaeh.

“Until she has justice and we know who did it then I’m not going to give up,” Poupard.  A $50,000 cash reward goes to whoever provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of her killer.  But if the money isn't reason enough to come forward, they hope that giving an answer to a difficult question this family asks everyday, is.

“My biggest thing is I want to know why.  I don't care who the person is, I just want to know why,” Nash.

Justice for Nevaeh maintains that finding her killer is just the beginning.  They've been very hands on with parents and children about how to prevent abductions.  If you have any information you’re asked to call 734-457-6713.

"Justice for Nevaeh" keeps girl's murder in spotlight
April 9, 2011

It's been nearly two years, and the Monroe murder of five-year old Nevaeh Buchanan remains unsolved. The group "Justice for Nevaeh" is trying to change that.

The organization held two Easter parties in Nevaeh's name. They hope that keeping her story in the public eye will finally bring some much needed closure to the case.
 ::snipping2::
Saturday afternoon, dozens of children remembered her with an Easter egg hunt. For friends and family, the event brought back all of the unanswered questions and sadness.
 ::snipping2::
The group Justice for Neveah is planning to gather all of their volunteers at the end of this month for a community forum. They would like to reconnect with searchers and try to figure out their next step in helping to solve the case.

Thank you Cookie, Sister and everyone else for their support.  I made a promise to this child going on two years ago.  I will not break it.

On a happier note, our Easter Egg Hunt & Party was fantastic!  We had over 250 kids and 150 adults in attendance.  As best we can tell, the kids found all of the 2000+ goody-filled eggs we carefully hid all over the grounds of Riverside Elementary!  In addition to the hunt itself, we had two other very special highlites.  First, the Easter Bunny showed up with special surprises for all the kids.  The excitement and happiness in their eyes were PRICELESS!  Second, five lucky kids pulled red-tipped lollipops from our lollipop tree and won brand new bicycles! 

The level of support for Justice for Nevaeh, both locally and beyond, continues to grow.  It is amazing how many people come up to us and thank us for what we are doing for Nevaeh.  While the kids get to enjoy all the festivities, the parents, citizens and the media never forget Nevaeh.  Our sincere thank you goes out to everyone--we could not do it without you.

All of this will lead to good news someday--I know it.

God Bless all of you.  And God Bless Nevaeh.

  I will never forget this little girl.
  For those who believe in Psychics and communication with those beyond the veil of death I would like to tell you a story here that I hope may lessen your pain over losing Nevaeh.
  One night I had four people over who were interested in the Paranormal and communication with those beyond the veil of death and as we sat about the living room at the time the little girl was missing, I was telling them about the case and how I had been meditating trying to help find her when suddenly we all sat up in surprise as a little girls voice said:
  "I'm going to bed now Grandma"
  I believe that was Nevaeh speaking to me from the spirit world and saying goodnight to her grandma.
  I have often thought this might be the way she said goodbye to her grandma each night when she went to sleep and I have quite often thought about telling this story to her grandma but I know she suffered greatly at her death and didn't know how to approach her but if someone would like to pass this along to the grandma it might make things easier for her because losing someone is a terrible thing and I know she loved and misses her granddaughter.
  I would also like for her to know that its possible the little girl will visit she and her mother in their dreams and or come to them in thought.

Hello everyone.  Hope you are all doing well.  Justice for Nevaeh was honored to be invited to, and attend, the First Annual Michigan Missing Person's event at Ford Field in Detroit.  The event was excellent, although heartbreaking. 

Here's a photo of our presentation.  I am so proud of my partner in this, and of all of the volunteers that so graciously dedicate their time to help and support Justice for Nevaeh.  A very blessed thanks to each and every one of you.

Hello everyone!  I am so very proud to announce that on May 19, 2011, Justice for Nevaeh was recognized as a Community Shining Star at an award ceremony sponsored by the Monroe County ISD.  We were presented with a beautiful award certificate (see below!)  You know, as a lawyer for many years, I've received different awards and recognitions from time to time.  But NONE is more meaningful than this one.  Thanks to everyone for all your continued support.

Whistles next tool in Nevaeh push on safety
by Doug Donnelly , last modified May 24. 2011 11:16AM

Whistles will be the next tool in helping area children feel safer about playing in their community.

Today is the two-year anniversary of the disappearance of Nevaeh Buchanan, a 5-year-old from Monroe who went missing while playing near her home and was found dead several days later.

"The innocent death of a 5-year-old girl is driving us the most," Risa Thompson of Garden City, vice president of Justice for Nevaeh and a relative of Nevaeh's family, said this morning. "It's a heinous crime no one will ever be able to understand."

To honor the girl's memory, the Justice for Nevaeh group will dedicate two memorials on Saturday in her name.

The first dedication will take place at 10 a.m. The group will be planting a tree at Riverside Early Learning Center, 77 N. Roessler St.

The second event will take place at 1:30 p.m., which will be a ribbon cutting ceremony for Nevaeh's Playscape. The play area is located at the Moose Family Center, 1320 N. Macomb St. The playscape project has been in the works for about six months.

"The Moose is the family place where we hold all of our events," Ms. Thompson said.

The dedication ceremonies are open to the public.
 ::snipping2::
Ms. Thompson said the tips still are coming in.  "The case does not become a cold case until there is no place left to look," she said. "We still get tips. I know law enforcement are getting tips. There are still places left to look in this case."

Family, friends of Nevaeh Buchanan still searching for answers two years after her death
Submitted by Nick Bade
Tuesday, May 24th, 5:54 pm
By Colleen Wells - bio | email

MONROE, MI. - The tears continue for Carla Nash. Two years ago, her granddaughter, 5 year-old Nevaeh Buchanan, disappeared from the Charlotte Arms Apartment Complex in Monroe, Michigan.  Her body was found nearly two weeks later, buried along the banks of the River Raisin, just outside of Monroe.  The case remains unsolved.

"We thought there would be answers by now. At least on the road to answers or something, but nothing," said Nash.

Despite thousands of tips and a 50,000 dollar reward, investigators have yet to make an arrest in her death.

"She's not been forgotten, and we're going to see to it that she never is. We're going to fight for justice for her, and we're not going to stop until we get justice for her," said Nash.

Volunteers with the group Justice for Nevaeh continue to keep the case in the public eye.  Every month, they hang posters and remind the public of the reward.

"We haven't lost any hope. People want to try to say this is cold case. It’s not a cold case. A cold case is classified when there are no more tips coming in, no more places to look. There is plenty left in that aspect. We're still getting tips, I'm sure law enforcement is still getting tips," said Risa Smith, Vice President of Justice for Nevaeh.

Volunteers will dedicate a playground in Nevaeh's honor on Saturday, May 28 at 1:30 p.m. at the Moose Family Center in Monroe.

Thanks everyone!  We had a GREAT day of memorial dedications for this Little Angel on Saturday.  It started early Saturday morning when we planted a Flowering Apple Tree outside of Nevaeh's pre-school teacher's classroom (at her request!) at the Riverside Early Learning Center in Monroe.  Many thanks to Snow's Nursery for donating this wonderful tree.  The Apple Blossom Tree is a symbol of love and healing.  It's a gorgeous tree with an very very special meaning.

In the afternoon, we dedicated a beautiful playground which we are calling Nevaeh's Playscape.  Many thanks to all of the volunteers and donors that made this playscape possible!  Donations were made only in kind--not in cash!  This community has really shown us incredible support for the past 2 years.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And many many thanks to the slew of media outlets that covered our dedications.  We could not keep Nevaeh's message out there without you.

If I do this the right way, the link below should open up to a youtube video from one of the news stations that covered the Playscape dedication.

Nevaeh remembered with tree plantings, playscape dedication
by Paula Wethington , last modified May 29. 2011 12:51AM

Justice for Nevaeh dedicated two trees and a playground Saturday in the memory of Nevaeh Buchanan of Monroe.

The 5-year-old girl was reported missing May 24, 2009, from her Macomb St. neighborhood and found dead several days later.

A year ago, a bench was dedicated in her memory at Riverside Learning Center.

This year's anniversary remembrances involved flowering apple trees placed at Riverside Learning Center and at Monroe Moose Family Center 884. A playground called Nevaeh's Playscape also was dedicated Saturday at the Moose lodge.

 ::snipping2::
The family was among the hundreds of people who participated in search parties for the missing girl until two fishermen stumbled across her body along the River Raisin in a remote area of Raisinville Township off Dixon Rd.

"We searched for her every day — wherever they told us to go," Eva Poupard said.

Although no arrest has been made in the case, there have been repeated poster canvassing attempts in hopes of getting information that investigators can use.

Eva Poupard is among those who expect justice will be served someday.
"Nevaeh touched all our hearts," she said.

The trees were donated by Snow Nursery of Monroe, and other donors helped with the playground expenses.

I don't know why you haven't seen Carla before. She has been in the picture since the day Nevaeh disappeared. As for the immediate family, I can't answer for them.

That's great MB!  We had so much fun.  We had to break the party into two sessions because within a few hours of announcing it we had already neared capacity of our hall (225 people!).  I stuffed over 300 goody bags for the kids and gave just about all of them out.  Based on our RSVPs, we had well over 500 people between to two sessions.  After the two sessions were over, we sponsored a Trunk or Treat and had over 25 volunteers open their car trunks in our parking lot.  The line of kids waiting almost circled the building.  All of them were so darn cute. 

Our Christmas Party is coming up fast--so we're back in planning mode.  I made a promise to this Little Angel--that I would never give up on her--and I won't.  I have a wonderful partner in all of this--without her I couldn't do this myself.  But there will be Justice for Nevaeh.  I've never been more certain about anything in my entire life.

By the way, the young lady you mentioned won the contest for Best Costume.  She had the best personality--you could tell she's a little performer.  When she introduced herself, she said "My name is ___ and I'm a feisty old grandma" as she shook her "pocket book" at the crowd.  I was in tears she was so funny.

Justice for Nevaeh launches its search for missing Summer Wyatt
by Paula Wethington
March 3, 2012


Volunteer search efforts ramped up this weekend in the investigation of a Bedford teenager who is believed to have run away from home about two weeks ago.
 ::snipping2::
Justice for Nevaeh is the non-profit organization that emerged in the aftermath of the disappearance and murder in 2009 of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan of Monroe. Hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement were involved in the search for the girl until her body was found near the River Raisin a few days later.

While there has been no arrest in Nevaeh's case, Justice for Nevaeh has coordinated numerous reward poster canvassing events and also hosted children's parties and community events as part of its mission to help every child "enjoy a happy, safe childhood."

One of the projects that the committee has discussed was to use its experience in the Nevaeh case to assist in searches for other missing children. That's the decision that was made in Summer's case, and the search team call-out was made.

"We waited a little bit because this is a different case," Risa Smith, vice president and co-founder of Justice for Nevaeh, explained when the volunteers met.

Police Say They're Closer To Arrest In Nevaeh Killing
Posted by gotcha Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at 5:03 PM
Labels: Nevaeh Buchanan


Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said investigators are closer to arresting the person they believe is responsible for the kidnapping and murder of Nevaeh Buchanan, the 5-year-old girl who was snatched from an apartment complex three years ago.
#Although he did not use the word “suspect,” Sheriff Crutchfield said that the focus of the ongoing investigation has narrowed. In his most candid public comments since the incident, the sheriff said that the community is not in danger from the person or persons he believes may be involved with the crime. That may mean the killer, believed to be a local person, is in prison or that he or she is dead or disabled.

- Evening News photo by BRYAN BOSCH Sherry Buchanan holds a picture of her grand daughter Navaeh, taken the same school year Nevaeh was abducted and believed murdered three years ago. "I want answers," she said regarding the unsolved case, "and so does the community." It still bothers her to see children running through the neighborhoods and playing unsupervised. "Those kids are just as vulnerable. There is a bad person still out there."

#“We have an eye on a person or persons,” the sheriff said. “We have significantly narrowed our focus.”

#Asked if an arrest is imminent, the sheriff said it is possible but he would not put a timetable on any actions related to the case. He said he is not surprised the investigation has taken years and has maintained that he is confident the case will be solved.

#“I would say absolutely we are closer,” he said. “The public is not in danger from this person or persons.”

Last night we held a Candle Light Vigil to honor the life and memory of Nevaeh.  It was very well attended, and the media attention it received was phenomenal.  We are so grateful that the media still care and covers these events.  Many thanks to all of them.

If you'd like to see some of stories, check out our facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/jesstar.justicefornevaeh?ref=tn_tnmn

Finally, I'd like to thank all of the Veterans, past, present and future, for their service to our Country, especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

MONROE, Mich. (AP) - About 50 people attended a candlelight vigil in memory of a 5-year-old Monroe girl who disappeared three years ago and was found buried near a river.

The event in honor of Nevaeh Buchanan got under way Sunday night at St. Mary's Park in Monroe.

The Monroe Evening News says the vigil was hosted by the Justice for Nevaeh committee.

The vigil comes as police say they're getting closer to arresting the person responsible for kidnapping and killing Nevaeh.

About 50 people attended a candlelight vigil in memory of a 5-year-old Monroe girl who disappeared three years ago and was found buried near a river.
The event in honor of Nevaeh Buchanan got under way Sunday night at St. Mary's Park in Monroe.
The vigil was hosted by the Justice for Nevaeh committee.
The vigil comes as police say they're getting closer to arresting the person responsible for kidnapping and killing Nevaeh.

Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield recently told the paper investigators have "an eye on a person or persons" and have "significantly narrowed" their focus.

Vigil for Nevaeh marks 3rd year since slaying
Friends, family gather, pray that an arrest will be made

May 28, 2012

 ::snipping2::
Two men described as “persons of interest” were arrested and sent back to prison on unrelated crimes. George Kennedy and Roy Lee Smith remain locked up in Michigan prisons on parole violations.

Kennedy, 42, a convicted sex offender who had been in a relationship with Nevaeh’s mother, has a maximum discharge date of Feb. 1, 2014.

Smith, 51, also a convicted sex offender and an acquaintance of Jennifer Buchanan, has a maximum discharge date of 2035.

Yet there have been no other arrests.

The FBI and Monroe County Sheriff’s Office have been tight-lipped about what they may have uncovered while combing through tips and developing leads.

Risa Smith, vice president of Justice for Nevaeh, said the organization continues to be active in keeping alive the memory of the child and the investigation of Nevaeh’s killer.

Justice for Nevaeh holds four annual events including Christmas, Easter, Halloween parties, and it has a reward fund of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest, and conviction, of the person who killed the girl.

She reminded people that the group would be conducting its monthly distribution of reward posters on Wednesday at the Moose Lodge in Monroe. She urged people to think back to that day when the girl disappeared and try to remember additional details.

Although people are saying they have no specific information, they are hopeful law enforcement authorities have a good suspect.

“Lots of people speculate who it is,” Ms. Smith said. “As far as who knows … God, Nevaeh, and hopefully, law enforcement,” to which Ms. Nash added, “and the person who did it.”

It's been a LONG time since I've posted here on SM.  But that certainly doesn't mean we've given up on Nevaeh!  We just finished hosting our Fifth Annual Justice for Nevaeh Christmas Party!  We had a blast.  Over 170 kids attended along with their families and friends.  We provided a free hot meal for everyone (turkey, ham, mostaciolli, salad, breadsticks, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, desserts!), free games, prizes, caroling, Santa!  We also proudly offered Nevaeh's Secret Santa Shop-  a place where financially challenged families can "shop" for free Christmas Presents for their kids.  Our goal is to make sure every child has a few presents under the tree on Christmas morning. 

We still sponsor 4-5 parties each year.  Each party has a safety message for kids.  This time we were joined by the Law Enforcement Education Program who provided free Child Identification kits for all kids in attendance.  It's a fantastic program.  You can read about it here:  http://www.leepusa.com/kids-fingerprinting-program/

Monroe News did a nice story on our Christmas Party.  If you're interested, you can read about it here:  http://www.monroenews.com/news/2013/dec/22/memory-nevaeh-buchanan-kept-alive-christmas-party/

As I said long ago, we will never give up on Nevaeh.  It's going on 5 years, and we are still going strong-- and growing stronger and stronger, and bigger and bigger, every year.

God Bless all of you, and Merry Christmas!

JessStar, so good to hear from you.  I was sure you were keeping busy for the children in Nevaeh's name.
Was thinking about you/her a couple of days ago -- what was intended for harm you and your friends have turned into good.  Can't help but wonder how many lives you have saved by your efforts to bring awareness to children and their parents.  Some things in this life can never be measured -- and I know you don't do it for this reason -- but I think someday you will know and be amazed at how far your efforts have gone into our world.  May God continue to bless!

I'm certain you would let us know if there are any new developments in the case that can be given to the public JessStar, but like Cookie, I too wonder "any closer to an arrest'.    I keep an eye on this thread and on the media, and I hope the day isn't too far off there will be not only an arrest, but a conviction. 

We're still waiting for justice for Nevaeh.    ::MonkeyAngel::  ::justice2nj2::

It's been a while since I've posted here-- I hope all my "monkey" friends are doing well. 

It's so hard to believe that we are coming up on 6 years and Nevaeh still has not received the justice she deserves.  The case remains active.  Law Enforcement believes they have the right guy in jail, but he hasn't been charged with anything related to Nevaeh.  So we won't give up until that happens.

Justice for Nevaeh is also in its 6th year.  We've grown nicely and continue to pursue justice on Nevaeh's behalf.  This Saturday we will be hosting our 25th event in Her honor-- our Annual Spectacular Easter Egg Hunt and Party. HUNDREDS of kids turn out to honor Nevaeh at each of our parties, and this one will be no different.  We are also doing something very special this time around--we are having all the kids decorate a ceramic tile for Nevaeh.  We are then going to assemble them in mosaic fashion and install them into a permanent memorial.  It's going to be beautiful.
