Nevaeh's body found by river

A body found near the River Raisin is that of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan, who disappeared from her Monroe home May 24, the Monroe Evening News has reported.

The paper said police have spoken to the family.


Ryan Bickley, 15, said his father, Guy Bickley, found the body this morning when he was by the river fishing with his grandfather around 11 a.m.


The teenager said the body was encased in a cement block and they could smell it. His father, he said, chipped a piece of cement away and saw skin and when he saw skin, he stopped and called police. The block was near the water.


Nevaeh's mother is huddled with friends at her apartment in Monroe.

A mobile command unit, which signifies intense police activity, arrived earlier this evening at the area of Dixon Road and Sullivan in Raisinville Township. Police were acting on a tip that the body of Nevaeh could be buried there.


A medical examiner truck also arrived at the scene.


Volunteers claimed to have found a clump of long brown hair, said the Rev. Dale Hayford, senior pastor of Crosswalk Community Church in Monroe.


Barricades kept traffic away from North Custer Road, west of Ida Maybee Road.


Since Nevaeh's disappearance, police have zeroed in on a few men with histories of sex assault convictions, but no one has been charged in the case and leads are dwindling.


One man, George Kennedy, 39, told a Ohio newspaper this week he had nothing to do with the girl’s disappearance. In fact, he told the Toledo Blade, he helped the girl’s mother search for Nevaeh.


Earlier in the day, firefighters from area departments sent over not only volunteers, but also equipment, to breathe new life into the nearly two-week search.


“Good things are happening,” said Elisa Boyer, 31, of Monroe. “I hope this is what we needed.”


Firefighters from agencies such as Monroe, Monroe Township, Ida Township and Dundee are being tracked electronically into a system usually reserved for battling blazes.


The fireTRAX program logs who searches where, then allows that volunteer to move onto another unsearched area when finished, said Monroe Township Firefighter Joe Hernandez.


“We want to help any way we can,” said Ida Township firefighter Mark Andrews, 19. “We hope to find her alive, but finding her in any way will help the family.”

I have a feeling that the cement may have preserved her more than if she was just throw into the water. I would think that the water is still pretty cold up there too. If they said they saw skin, it ......nevermind.

I am so sorry they found her this way.  I have emailed Dolce of the news.

, last modified June 04. 2009 8:41PM

RAISINVILLE TOWNSHIP -- A body found today at the River Raisin in Raisinville Township has been confirmed as the missing 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan of Monroe.

Police officers have spoken to the family, and a relative has confirmed to The Monroe Evening News that the child found was Nevaeh.

"That baby was innocent," her grandmother, Sherry Buchanan, said. "I want capital punishment."

Law enforcement search teams have been staged today at the River Raisin near Ida-Maybee and Dixon Rds. in Raisinville Township.

N. Custer Rd. is blocked to traffic between Muehleisen and Yensch Rds. On the south side of the River Raisin, all traffic has been shut down on Dixon Rd. at Sullivan Rd. and Neiman Rd.

The news media have been ordered to stay at least two miles away from where the road blocks have been staged. News helicopters have been ordered to clear the air space.

Nevaeh has been missing since the night of May 24.

The Monroe Evening News will continue to post details as they become available.

I want to see someone(s) ay for this -- I want to see the egg donor pay for Nevaeh's suffering

[Catbert]

PAY not AY - sorry I am very upset

There is no accident .. Some predator put her into a plastic or metal tub and poured mixed concrete and encased her.. Unfortunately for the culprit the water in the wet cement and the body fluids will mix .. that is where the odor comes from.
They may still get DNA from her..

that is what I thought too...that her little body could have been preserved more cause of the cement..there will definately be clues here...
who did buy cement like someone mentioned...who keeps cement on their property..
This Easter guy, burning stuff in the AM....he has his own place where the other 2 So 's live at that motel right?
God...I am so sad ...my heart is hurting so bad right now...

Someone just said at MonroeTalks that there is a cement place near the Motel 7 that Kennedy was staying at.

Night monkeys, Nevaeh is in heaven now. Her killers will be brought to justice.

[Edward]

The media needs to stay 2 miles away from her family too.
I get tired of the callus nature of the media when tragedy strikes.

[cookie]

how far away was she found compared to where she lived?
this is so unfair!!!

I am only giving a hypothetical.....
line a wheel barrow with plastic...put body in wheel barrow...pour mixed concrete in wheel barrow over body...wait for it to dry...tip wheel barrow over and body encased in cement drops out. Sorry...just trying to explain 

[no rose colored glasses]

I'm sorry, but what does that mean?  The teenager said the body was encased in a cement block and they could smell it.  I hate to even say, but you mean those cinder blocks, and her body was shoved in one? 

It sounded like she was encased in cement, not cinderblocks. Some body worked to hide her body........There will be evidence of this somewhere. Cement is not neat, and it has "markers" in it. It can be identified. JMO

Yes, after I asked this question, I asked my husband and he explained to me what that meant.

There is that quickset concrete too.  We used it to do a couple of rail posts and it sets up really quick.  Someone said a concrete place near the motel that Kennedy was staying at as well.  I still wonder how much the mom knows.

Hopefully they can track down who bought cement or materials and maybe have  video cameras outside or inside of the cement place.. The cashier might be able to identify the perpertrator..

Nite Boo and Grissom.
