Nevaeh Buchanan – Missing Michigan 5-year old Nevaeh Buchanan fell victim to sexual predators who snatched young Nevaeh from her scooter in an apartment complex parking lot.
A friend playing with Nevaeh Buchanan told police that Nevaeh had been “kidnapped” by a “bad man” who stabbed her, but Monroe County police said they aren’t sure the little girl is dead.
So far, three sex offenders – George Kennedy, Roy Smith, and James Easter – all of whom were friends of Jennifer Buchanan, Nevaeh’s 24-year old mother, have been under police scrutiny and jailed for non-related crimes while the investigation continues more than a week after 5-year old Nevaeh Buchanan went missing.
39-year-old George Kennedy is a friend of Neveah’s mother and is also a registered sex offender.
After the child disappeared on Sunday, police searched a room at the Motel 7 in Monroe where Kennedy had been staying.
Investigators seized shorts, a towel with blood stains, samples of blood from the wall above the bathroom sink, photos of a white female similar to Nevaeh, and hairs from the toilet and bathroom floor.
George Kennedy remains in jail on a probation violation while the investigation continues.
Roy Smith, 48, is listed on the National Sex Offender Registry. His police record dates back almost three decades with convictions for criminal sexual conduct, larceny and breaking and entering.
Nevaeh Buchanan’s mother, Jennifer Buchanan, says George Kennedy was like a father to Nevaeh while her daughter didn’t really know Roy Smith, the other person of interest.
When asked if she thought that Kennedy or Smith would be capable of doing anything against Nevaeh she said, “Anyone is capable of doing anything.”
Roy Smith has been jailed on an unrelated probation violation.
James Easter, 64, was arrested May 31 as he was burning items in his backyard barbecue and detectives sent ashes from the fire for forensic examination.
Police searched the Easter’s home Sunday and dug up the back yard of his property after receiving a tip. Boxes of evidence were also taken from Easter’s home to the Michigan State Crime Lab.
And that’s the latest news on the abduction of missing 5-year old Nevaeh Buchanan.

MaKayla–are you ALL in-bread and mentally challenged up there in your back woods MI arm pit mentality?
I hope her mother gets convicted ALMOST as severely as the killer. It IS her fault–no question. She neglected her by not watching her when she was not even supposed to have her!! Her mother did not care if she ended up dead or she would not let her play in the street!!! Is everyone overlooking THAT or are the reports wrong?Too bad grandma let her take the baby. Stupid!
June 5th, 2009 at 5:22 am
if it turns out when of these men associated with the mother are connected to this, she needs to be charged just like KC Anthony was in the beginning, for failing to protect her child. And she needs to go back to jail. Strange how the grandmother couldn’t even speak clearly through her tears, yet Neveah’s own MOTHER wasn’t crying and only wants to talk about defending her sex offender friends.
June 5th, 2009 at 5:58 am
the mother should be shot, its disgusting!…molesters should be taken out back and shot too, we dont need trash like that on earth!
its a shame what kids have to live with now a days, and its a shame how some parents are…they dont deserve the title mom or da.
June 5th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Maybe it is time that we do start blaming the mothers. As mothers, it is our responsibility to keep our children safe. Their needs should come before our needs. Why was Nevaeh unsupervised? Why was the mother allowing predators around her child? I am disgusted that this could have been prevented. I trust NO ONE! around my childern. I feel this mom should be charged with neglect. Harsh, but true.
June 5th, 2009 at 8:21 am
I’m wondering if the receipts that Mr. Easter showed the police from Lowe’s or Home Depot or wherever itemized the concrete that Nevaeh’s body was found encased in. What sort of monsters are living among us? And what kind of mother would invite sexual predators into the life of her child?
June 5th, 2009 at 8:46 am
Who the f*ck knows 3 sex offenders and not only dates one but brings them around a 5 year old girl? And then the b*tch is shocked that something like this happens? You were asking for it you brain dead, idiot, b*tch. And then she says her relationship with these people is irrelevant. Do you even know what the word irrelevant means? That sh*t couldn’t be more relevant. The mother should be executed along with those other 3 pieces of sh*t.
June 5th, 2009 at 10:52 am
Need to pass a law that requires all sex offenders/predators to wear a a device GPS that is implanted in their brains not an ankle bracelet, and make them pay for it if they want freedom.
We need to monitor them very closely, and for this case the sex offender/murderer should get the death sentence.
The mother of this child needs to also be charged for neglect and putting her child in danger for the lack of supervision and having sex offenders around Naveah!
June 5th, 2009 at 10:58 am
Law-enforcement officials this morning confirmed that a body found Thursday by fishermen matches Nevaeh in height, gender and description.
Family members haven’t identified the body yet, said Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield, but it appears to be the girl who went missing May 24.
Two fishermen discovered the body under a layer of what appeared to be concrete that had been poured over a shallow grave, Arena said.
The girl had been buried there “for quite a while,” Crutchfield said.
Arena said the concrete mix poured atop the body might have been mixed with river water. The grave was inches from the river, he said.
While FBI profilers are working to try to narrow down the type of individual likely responsible, Crutchfield said “that person, to our knowledge, is still out in the community.”
“I’m of the opinion this is a sick and disturbed person we’re looking for,” he told reporters.
June 5th, 2009 at 11:42 am
I have to agree with Jill all the way on this. This child is 5 not 15. The mother shouldn’t have left that child leave that front door unsupervised. I know here in PA if you are caught leaving your child outside alone or around scum like sex offenders the state comes in and takes your kids. All sex offenders and the mother need to be locked up in jail and the key thrown away. What is this world coming to???
June 5th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
i have been following thissince little nevaeh went missing. you always hope and pray they will be found safe.But i heard today they found her body.who would do such a horrible thing.i hope they find who did and show them no mercy. they are the lowest of the low. murdering innocent children who cant defend themselves. where was her mother. who was looking after her. may god bless you little nevaeh. rest in peace
June 5th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Guy Bickley, 52, of Frenchtown Township and his father, Lowell Kirk, 72, of Cleveland, Tenn., found the body while fishing Thursday. “I hope to God it isn’t her,” Bickley said of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.
June 5th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
This is yet another sad case that proves that sex offenders cannot be rehabilitated. These men should have NEVER been let out of jail, EVER. I have one word for them and all others like them: castration.
And as for Nevaeh’s mother, yes, she indeed showed very bad judgement by associating with Kennedy. She doesn’t, however, need to be additionally verbally abused and judged by others. She will have to live with the guilt and pain of losing her child for the rest of her life,
Mourn the child, have compassion for the mother because no one deserves to lose a child and save your anger for the man/men who did this to Nevaeh. Write your congressman/congresswoman for EVEN tougher child predator laws and start by protecting your own children by going on family watchdog and websites of the like.
And, a word for Jill, I wouldn’t be casting stones like “ALL in-bread and mentally challenged up there in your back woods MI arm pit mentality?”-especially since you cannot even spell in-bred correctly or use proper grammar. If you are going to insult the lot of us, then perhaps you need to whip out your Webster’s before doing so.
June 5th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Navaeh was found dead in the river earlier yeterday afternoon!!! in a cement block that wasent all the way closed and completley naked. she was found by two fisherman on the river rasin.

FBI on Nevaeh Buchanan body found site search
Now that the body of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan has likely been found, investigators are in the midst of painstakingly combing the banks of the River Raisin for clues, an FBI agent said this morning.
“Every inch of soil needs to be sifted,” said Special Agent Andrew Arena. “It’s tedious and, honestly, a little dangerous for our searchers along the steep riverbank.”
Law-enforcement officials this morning confirmed that a body found Thursday by fishermen matches Nevaeh in height, gender and description.
Family members haven’t identified the body yet, said Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield, but it appears to be the girl who went missing May 24.
Two fishermen discovered the body under a layer of what appeared to be concrete that had been poured over a shallow grave, Arena said.
The girl had been buried there “for quite a while,” Crutchfield said.
Arena said the concrete mix poured atop the body might have been mixed with river water. The grave was inches from the river, he said.
June 5th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Well as it states in the article the mother was friends with these men, so I ask you who in the hell in their right mind with children or regardless for that matter would be friends with a sex offender to begin with!?
June 5th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
As JC says: I have one word for them and all others like them: castration.
I think that mothers like her’s should also be sterilized. If the mother isn’t capable of watching her child or letting a 5 year old child tell her which apartment she will be in, she doesn’t deserve to have children. Minor children (18 and below) should not be allowed to roam the streets at will. We as parents MUST take full and complete responsibility for our children! I thank God everyday that the job I work in allows me to go and secure my child everyday after school. And to all bosses out there, if there is a mother who needs to leave and secure her child after school, let her go- schedule that time as her lunch break….
There were times when my son, even though he was 16, that I would also pick him up from school and take him home, although we lived two blocks from the school. Children need to know that their parents care for them, not that they are on the mercy of a world that has no mercy for them! THEY DESERVE TO FEEL SAFE, WANTED, AND LOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 5th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
In my opinion i think the mother had something to do with this because one day she wasnt even helping looking for her hcild I know that she afraid of weither her child was alive or not i would have not gotten any sleep searching for my child but thatz just my opinion the mothers obligation doesnt even match up
June 5th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
My daughter is 24 and I still have her call when she leaves college to come home and when she returns. I want to know that she is ok!!! I would never have let her play alone outside when she was 5. My husband or I were with her always. No questions asked. If we could not, then she had to wait until we were able to be there with her. That was understood by her, my husband and myself. This was gross negligence on the part of the mother. This child would be alive today if her mother only had watched her closer and kept the sexual predators out or her life. What a shame.
June 5th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
WHAT ABOUT HER GRANDMOTHER!!!!!????
Another question I have is this; what was Nevaeh’s grandmother thinking when she left her alone with Jen?
I think that Nevaeh’s grandmother is just as responsible as Jen. Jen lost custody of her daughter for a reason and it was up to this child’s grandmother to keep her safe. IMPOSSIBLE!!! Given Jen’s criminal record and her association with unsavory individuals, she had NO BUSINESS BEING ALONE WITH HER DAUGHTER. Nevaeh didn’t stand a chance with all of these idiots… and yes, I include her grandmother in this list along with anyone who was aware of who Jen’s friends were and said nothing to authorities!
What the hell is wrong with these people?
June 5th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Yes, the so-called “mother” defintely deserves to be charged with child endangerment & neglect. Without her momther’s shoddy selfish a$$ parenting this would never have happened. ~ R I P Neveah ~
June 5th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
this little girl looks just like my neice Mckayla and yes her sister my 5yr neice her name is nevaeh 2 so its really scary i pray for her family
June 5th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
You people are dumb. Yeah it’s possible the mother had something to do with it, but you can’t auntomatically blame her for who she hangs out with! You can’t be FRIENDS with anyone these days. Not but a couple months ago we heard about the cantu girl getting hurt! The mother was friends with the woman that did the shit. A Sunday school teacher!! So don’t blame the mother you can’t trust anyone. Think of if it was you and your child and you were friends with the person sex offender or not, would you wanna be blamed? No you wouldn’t. Y’all have no damn right to judge that lady for something one of her friends did. Just because she was friends with the guys doesn’t mean she tried to put that baby in danger! Y’all are pathetic. Think before you speak.
June 5th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Yea, I’d have to agree with the majority here. I live in Toledo, and although I don’t know Nevaeh or her family, this was so close to home (as opposed to cases in Colorado, New Mexico, etc., it was basically 10 minutes up the highway), I feel really terrible for the loss of this little girl…. on that note….
Her mother SUCKS!!! Who lets a 5 yr old in an apartment complex with no shoes and socks on with no supervision? What kind of parent allows another small child to watch her own child? AND, how did this mother EVER find it ok to regard a sex offender as more important as her daughter. To Mekayla, or however you spell your name, I don’t mean to offend you, but you need to take the blinders off sweetie, your friend is a terrible mother and need not EVER have another child EVER!!!! I’m not beyond believing she had something to do with this. God now has Nevaeh as an angel, but it’s a shame her life had to end so tragically because of that dumb devil known as her mother. She does need to be responsible. Even if she had nothing to do with the murder, she should still be in jail because if she was being a mother instead of coddling her sex offending friends, that baby might still be alive! She SUCKS!
June 5th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
And Taylore, do you have any children? It doesn’t sound like you do. We can’t blame her because she CHOSE to be friends wiht a sex offender? Her mother had custody of her daughter because she decided she would rather live wiht a sex offender than raise her daughter (he was not able to be around children, so she gave her daughter away instead of telling him to kick rocks… what???)…
we CAN judge this fool, because she’s a terrible parent, TERRIBLE!!!! and why does she know so MANY sex offenders? i mean, it’s not one, she hangs out regularly with like three!!!! what does that say about your level of character? i appreciate you seeking fairness, but don’t sacrifice common sense tryin to be fair, come on now, get it together
June 5th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
oh yea, the grandma sucks too, she knew Jen was a wack mother… she knew that!
June 5th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
that poor little girl and her family shouldn’t have to go through this! there is no right for people to just take someone and then do whatever they want to, to them. i just pray that the family can get through this!!
June 5th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
WHOEVER DID THIS TO THIS LITTLE GIRL WILL SOMEDAY ANSWER TO OUR GOD. HIS WRATH IS COMING YOUR WAY. THERE IS NO REASON TO KILL A CHILD NO MATTER WHAT. WAS KILLING A CHILD WORTH IT ?BECAUSE YOU WILL BE CAUGHT EVENTUALLY AND YOUR PUNISHMENT WILL BE DEATH OR LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE. IF YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT, TURN YOURSELF IN AND MAYBE OUR GOD WILL HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL. YOU HAVE COMMITTED THE ULTIMATE SIN BY KILLING A CHILD.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:24 am
I am very sadden and sicken by this whole thing. I have two children and I never leave them alone. Let alone in the front yard where something like this could happend. I am disgusted by this mother and how she could bring her daughter around people like that. She needs to be charged just as much as the men who harmed this little princess. I do feel for the family for loosing a loved one but I do not feel for this mother because I am sorry she brought this on her self. What was she thinking oh they wont touch my daughter. People like that are sick in their head and never change it is like addiction. My family and I will be praying for this little girl and the family. I hope the mother and the three men spend the rest of their life in jail.

Family Refuses To Identify Neveah’s Body
By late Friday, Nevaeh’s family still had not identified the body found Thursday morning and held out hope that the body in the Wayne County morgue is not that of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.
“I still have hope,” the girl’s mother, Jennifer Buchanan, 24, said late Friday.
Investigators have said they still don’t know how the girl died, nor who’s responsible.
Nevaeh’s grandmother, Sherry Buchanan, told reporters late Friday of her granddaughter’s killer: “I think it was somebody on drugs who did this randomly.”
She said its been painful to hear rumors about her daughter and her relationship with a man that has been held as a person of interest.
“I know in my heart she didn’t have nothing to do with it,” Sherry Buchanan said, adding that investigators searched their apartment earlier this week.
About 4:30 p.m. Friday, a Monroe County sheriff’s deputy arrived at Jennifer Buchanan’s apartment.
Shane Hinjosa, the girl’s father, said the deputy, who left without commenting, asked about getting fingerprints of the girl to try to positively identify the body since no one from the family would go to the morgue to identify Nevaeh’s body.
Family members said investigators left with a toy telephone and Nevaeh’s toothbrush.
Hinjosa said there was a mention of getting the girl’s dental records, but he and Sherry Buchanan said Nevaeh had visited the dentist only once, and X-rays of her teeth were not taken then.
Mike Buchanan, Nevaeh’s uncle, said the family is grasping onto the hope that the girl found isn’t his niece.
“If it is, we do have some type of closure, even if it is for the worst,” he said.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:06 am
Lets blame the Father for not being here he ran out of town when she was born so he didn’t want to pay child support so Poor Nevaeh looking for a Father figure got Father George. Now Nevaeh Father is crying and mad that someone did that to his Daughter. Where was he when she needed him.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
I feel very sad and sorry for this little girl. She never had a chance. Just 5yrs. old and left on her own. What in the world was her family thinking. Someone who knew her and someone she felt comfortable with did this horrible thing and I pray they are found out. There has to be justice for Nevaeh. I feel in my heart that it was one or more of these men her mother was friends with. I don’t understand what they are doing out of jail in the first place. What was our court system thinking to let these spawns of satan out of jail? May God see that justice is done.
June 7th, 2009 at 10:51 am
that poor child. as a child/teenager myself i can’t believe what kinds of things are happening. first we find caylee anthony’s remains, then haleigh cummings goes missing, then we find sandra’s body. what the hell is wrong with America? when i have my children (far, very far from, now) i will never let my eyes off of them for a second. this just goes to prove that our children will never be safe enough in this world without proper supervision. it’s very sad and heart breaking what someone could do to this innocent 5 yr old girl Nevaeh.
June 7th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
I think its very sad. I just moved from Florida, and I moved August 2008, while caylee anthony still had not been found! And as a mom to be, it just kills me to think that ppl out there are hurting poor innocent children. And killing them. What would possess anybody to do such a thing to any child? Its disgusting! And Im just horrified by it! I dont understand! urgh… its just horrifing! But I seriously hope that the person(s) who took and or killed her turns themselves in. Because even if they dont do justice here on earth… God will take care of them in the end! I just pray that the autopsy results show that the body found is not nevaeh’s, but then that shows that another little 5 yr old girl went missing and was murdered. Someone who the world did not know… along with nevaeh! And I hope her killers do there justice in this world still, and then god will punish them for hurting such a precious thing… because no one gets by hurting, raping, torturing, or killing a baby!
Little girl, come home safe!
You have touched my heart As Im sure you have many metro detroiters and the world!
with love<33
June 9th, 2009 at 1:53 am
That “SO CALLED” mother thinking SHE
{& the almighty power GOD must have given her}
can rehabilitate a CHILD MOLESTER…COME ON!
WHO ON EARTH ALLOWS THEIR BABY TO BE OUT THAT LATE….IT DOESN’T MATTER IF SHE’S IN THE FRONT YARD–YOU ARE TO BE WITH HER, SHE IS A BABY..she is your baby!{you carried her under your heart for 9 months}
I guess other things are more important these days to some people than their own children….
WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOCIETY & THE WAY PEOPLE ARE PARENTING THESE CHILDREN THAT GO MISSING OR END UP DEAD?
It’s a shame, another innocent child killed because of their parent/parents irresponsibility.
I would like to add….As a single mother {I was a teenager when I had him}…when my son was growing up, he wasn’t allowed to be out of my sight…even when he was 13, I was skeptical letting him ride his bike 2 blocks away to his friends house….
IF THAT’S BEING OVER PROTECTIVE, THEN OH WELL…..I WILL KILL, DIE & BE TORTURED FOR HIM
{no matter how old he is; by the way he’s now 18}
June 9th, 2009 at 11:39 am
I don’t even know 3 sex offenders–and I check online to make sure that new people I meet are not on it…and yet this mom knew THREE and dated one?! YUCK!!!! And she let them around her daughter…that is one messed up mother. That little girl is the one who paid the highest price.
June 9th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
From reading the “facts” on this website, I can only suggest all of you start getting your news elsewhere.

Body Confirmed As Nevaeh Buchanan
A body found buried along the River Raisin has been identified as that of a 5-year-old girl who went missing last month, investigators said Tuesday.
DNA testing conducted by the Michigan State Police crime lab in Northville confirmed the body was that of Nevaeh Buchanan of Monroe, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s office.
“I want to thank everybody who was with us through the whole ordeal,” Nevaeh’s uncle, Mike Buchanan said. “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 disappeared from her apartment complex May 24. Her body was found last Thursday along the River Raisin in Monroe County’s Raisinville Township, about 40 miles south of Detroit.
The body was discovered by a father and son fishing along the banks of the River Raisin. Cement was found on top of the body, which appeared to be buried in a shallow grave, authorities said.
The Wayne County medical examiner’s office was conducting an autopsy on Nevaeh’s body to determine what caused her death and when. Tissue samples also have been submitted for special testing, which may take weeks to come back.
There have been no arrests in the case.
Two people previously identified by police as “persons of interest” in the case were moved to a state prison in Jackson Tuesday, where a parole revocation hearing will be held in the next 45 days, said Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman John Cordell.
George Kennedy, 39, and Roy Smith, 48, violated their parole on unrelated charges by associating with Nevaeh, among other violations, Cordell said.
June 12th, 2009 at 8:01 am
I THINK THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS SICK!I HAVE 5 CHILDREN,ONE THAT HAPPENS TO BE 5 LIKE NEVAEH AND I COULDN’T IMAGIN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING TO MY CHILD!IT WOULD EAT MY HEART OUT!!!

GrandMa needs a make over
June 14th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Maykayla Nevaehs Cousin, Please learn to write I don’t understand what U are talking about it’s all mumbo jumbo read your letter again . U should be a shame Go back to night school, this time pay a attention. is everyone in Monroe Fat and Dumb?
June 14th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Maykayla, U are right about the GrandMa the Courts gave Nevaeh for her to watch the child.She did a Bad job.Thank God she is in the hands of God. She never had a chance here on earth . She probably would have been on Drugs by 12 and a Baby by 13 and a Sex Offender Boyfriend by 15 and in jail by 18 just like her MOTHER
June 14th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
This little girl was left alone riding a scooter at 5 years old mabey i am the only one who see’s something wrong with this. 5 year old children should not be unattended outside or inside. Maybe these people do not watch the news to see all of the children that are missing that end up dead. I am a mother and my son is going to be fifteen and he is not left alone. What was this mother thinking, and i think that the sick thing of all of this is that the mother was friends with all three men that are sex offneders. I don’t think that cruxifing the grandmother is fair she is in a tough spot taking care of her granddaughter, and trying to keep a realsionship between the daughter and the granddaughter. Sometimes this is a tough spot to be in and she is probably feeling bad enough right now about the decisions that she made to leave her with her mother alone, and what she could have done different. The mother on the other hand should be held accountable for something it is a mother’s job to keep their children safe, and out of harm’s way not bring the harm to them. She should have to answer for some things that the right way to deal with the mother
June 14th, 2009 at 7:10 pm
Amy ——– The Courts gave the job to Grandma to take care of her she didn’t do her job .where was she at Bingo?She should of found a sitter. Her daughter had no rights to Nevaeh anymore.
June 14th, 2009 at 10:47 pm

KUDOS TO JC. REPLY #17 for saying what needed to be said and with much maturity. People these days want to point the finger at anyone without remorse. yes the mother and grandmother are at fault for sure i totally agree with everyone. Nevaeh was foun just down the road for my establishment. again and again i took water, bugspray, gas cards and my time. I did that for the child not for the family. this child needed the community to come together and put all our effort into locating her, and we did. THANK YOU TO ALL. HAVE HOPE AND YOU WILL FIND ME. does anyone remember that. Instead of pointing the fingers, when so many deserv to be pointed at, stop and think about the whole senareo.
June 15th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
KUDOS TO JC. REPLY #17 we are all hoping that the one(s) who did this are being held now. if not that-those people are still out there among our community.PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILDREN CLOSE TO YOU. they may be someone we rubbed against, smiled at or even touched the same gas pump. We just dont know. and to all of you who think this cant and wont happen to you. please think again, it doesnt matter if your rich, poor, smart, stupid or of a different color. crimanals dont care. im just sorry it had to happen here or anywhere for that matter. sure, Jennifer wil pay for the rest of her life as will her family mourn that of their young child,. Im very angry at the mother and grandmother but to put blame on the family outside of the two, its just not helping anyone when there is the blame still out there to be put on the true culprit. who in time will be caught.
June 16th, 2009 at 7:54 am
I also agree with response #17 however I think that the mother should stop defending her so called friends, the sex offenders. I don’t care how good of friends they are and if they are sex offenders then why would you want them as friends, to be around my 5 year old daughter or son. With the world the way it is today, you have to forever watch out for your kids. I am sure that Nevaeh is in heaven with God and he is giving her what her family could not but this did not need to happen. The mother, the grandmother, they are suppose to be responsible adults. Do they not watch the news. On any given day of the week you hear a story about a missing child or see an amber alert. What posesses someone to leave a 5 year old child outside by themselves? This family will have to pay for this for the rest of their lives. I have 3 children all over the age of 14 and I still keep contstant tabs on all of them. It is what a mother does. I feel very sorry for the mom and the grandmother because they will never experience all the joys of seeing that little girl grow into a woman. Dance recitals, vacations, graduation, wedding and grand kids. They will never see any of that or feel her kiss on their cheek, or hear her laughter. What a waste. I seriously doubt her sex offender friends will be able to give her that back.
June 16th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Stupid Stupid Stupid
They are ALL to blame.
They should all be held responsible for her death.
The mother and grandmother for neglect! Who the hell, leaves a five year old unsupervisored?
Who the hell would associate themselves with a sex offender having a little girl that depends on mommy more than anything to protect her and keep her from harms way. UNACCEPTABLE!!!! People wake up.. It is all bullshit… This had nothing to do with drugs.. The mother didnt care, and the beast that did this much less. This had nothing to do with drugs, just an other sad ending to a precious life because of the selfish, mean people that put her in danger and took her life.
The law needs an upgrade! Start doing something about the parents that put their child through this. I would never, ever in a million years leave my daughter unsupervised. Sometimes, even when my family takes care of my daughter, I am constantly thinking of her, “is she ok”, “did she fall”, “did she eat”.. Are you serious. How are you going to let a sex offender in your life, this was just a sad ending story waiting to happen.
Stupid stupid people.. The father is another deadbeat dad, the mother should have never had the child without supervised visits like maybe I dont know ” the police, other relatives (if any are ok in the head, cause obviously grandma and mother aint), .. I just dont understand..
June 16th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Hazell, great letter U R right they R all Stupid Stupid.I bet it’s SOMEONE WHO LIVES in the apt. that got her.Someone who is not on the Sex Offender list YET.
June 16th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I am a grandmother who took custody (sp) of my daughters first child..(from birth). She was to young and far to irresponsible to care for the baby properly. When my husband and I signed the papers it clearly states that we are to provide and PROTECT this child as our own. As the years went on the baby bonded with us as she established a relationship with our daughter..(her mother). We had rules regarding this child and there were times that we had to put our daughter out of the child’s life until she could grow up and live a “clean” life. We have always shared the child with our daughter but the understanding was…BABY COMES FIRST!!! She had to earn a relationship with our precious bundle. We ultimately adopted since the bond was with us but our daughter is clean, responsible and more mature. She also lives with us and has since had another child. She is a very good mother this time around and I am very proud of her. My point???? The grandmother is 100% responsible for the decisions made regarding little Nevaeh. She is the one who failed this baby. She made a promise to the law and the child when she signed the papers. She should have NEVER allowed her daughter to come first. This woman is an adult…the grandmother was suppose to speak on the child’s behalf to keep her safe and from harms way regarding the low life scum that was brought into her life. She failed. There were times during the first year or so that we had to kick our daughter out of the house and forbid her to come around unless she was clean. It broke my heart but as I said before….BABY COMES FIRST. I can honestly say that my daughter cleaned her life up because she knew we were 100% serious when it comes to a child’s welfare and she wanted not only to be a part of her child’s life but our life as well. How sad for Nevaeh that her grandmother was to weak to take that stand for her. Legally the law will look at grandma before they look at the bio since she has legal custody so the mother is in the clear as far as child endangerment and such…pitty really because they are both to blame as well as ALL THE OTHER people in this babies life that knew about the sex offenders and did nothing…Since this precious baby is now with the Lord and his angles she will forever be safe and happy.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:51 am
we never know or fully understand what other people are thinking or what they are capable of. i say TRUST NO ONE!
If rumors are true, on and off camera- jennifer may be pregnant bye george kennedy, a sex offender, this will be another reason to bash her. i would like to know if this is true. i hear so much everyday. its hard to understand what to believe and what not too. we will see in the months to come. wheres all the news now when it comes to catching this crimanal? i feel sadness for Nevaeh because the truth may never come out. i say to all sex offenders reading this BURN IN HELL!!!! you all need to be beaten to death by civilians if found!!!

4-year old Haylee Donathan Abducted
http://a11news.com/2065/haylee-donathan/
Totally bizarre case involving an adorable 4-year old girl named Haylee Donathan, whose mother, father and uncle all helped a convicted sex offender named Robbi Poston escape from a halfway house so he could run away with Haylee and her mother.
Poston was only recently released from prison where he’d served time for sexually molesting a minor girl.
Haylee’s father and uncle (her mother’s brother) were arrested for helping Poston escape, but a nationwide manhunt for Poston and Haylee’s mother has not yet found them.
Haylee hasn’t been seen since May 31 when a glimpse of her was caught on a WalMart surveillance camera in Marion, Ohio.
What kind of family helps a sex offender escape so he can run off with a little girl and her mother?
June 17th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
It is clear that little Nevaeh’s grandmother and mother are inept people incapable of fulfilling their maternal responsibilities. This child didn’t have any chance living in the environment they put her in. The mother in particular is just plain stupid. How anyone could come to know and befriend not 1 but 3 sex offenders is just outrageous.
I just hope justice will be had in this case.
By the way, would it kill some of you to use a spell checker ? It is painful to read some of these posts.
June 17th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
this is all just to crazy. people are insane. what must be going thru there heads, are kids not our future? it is a coincedence that his name is same as mine. im a female and would never harm anyones child i have 3 of my own and was lucky to have reached the age of 41. so many bad things happen to children like in my case but many dont survive or they just never become good citizens. and so the cycle continues. unfortunatly it will always be this way. so use ur eyes and ears when it comes to watching our children. and teach your children about stranger danger even at a young age, they will remember when needed.
June 18th, 2009 at 11:20 am
I do not condone the fact that Jennifer left Nevaeh outside by herself. This is truly the wrong thing to do. But look back to the time when she delivered this baby and she had the loving thought to name her Nevaeh. (Heaven spelled backwards). Even if it was not her idea to name her that, It still became her name. There is special meaning behind the name and she must have felt a closeness to GOD to give her such a name.
In the years to follow, what happened to Jennifer? Did she get mixed up in hanging around with the wrong crowd? Did she begin using drugs to cover up the pain and loneliness she might have felt knowing she had to raise the child alone? None of us know what her life was like, to make the changes that now appear to have made her the way she is today. I am not defending her, just looking at it with another perspective in mind. Young people today are influenced by their piers, (not all but some), and drugs play a heavy role in a lot of young lives today. I believe she got caught up in a world that sucked her up and wouldn’t let her go. She needs a mentor, someone who will work with her and help her to see a different way of coping and living with the circumstances of her life.
I believe I remember reading that her husband was only 17 when Nevaeh was born, and I am sure she was probably around the same age. Some people that age can handle situations differently than she did.
As far as I am concerned she doesn’t need to be judged by those who have never experienced what she has or walked in her shoes. The facts and evidence will prove what really happened.
June 18th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
109876, Bull Crap,A dog has baby pups and they take good care of them. Plus all name have a meaning some R name after a Saint.Look at all the Mary’s Mother of Jesus. PLUS she was 4 years older then your boyfriend, they NEVER married she and the child have the same last name of there Mom & Grandma.

June 18th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Gina, you are rude. You have no concern for any one’s feelings or opinions. If they don’t agree with you, you treat people with no respect. Nevaeh’s father is not my boyfriend
he was Jennifer’s. There are zillions of Mary’s and very few people named Nevaeh, so your argument does not hold up.
Your right they didn’t marry but they were still equal parents. Last but not least Dogs are born with instincts to care for their young. People have to learn how to take care of their children. Some of us it comes natural to others have to be taught.
June 19th, 2009 at 10:58 am
im going to have to stick up for shane on this one…. he is not to be blamed. we as woman are- i hate to say this, but bitches, when we dont get what we want. and we use anything we have to get it. shane obviously tried to see his daughter, but as we all know Jennifer is a selfish woman. im sure in her eyes, using this child and keeping little neveah away from shane. the courts suck, we all know this, he was young and didnt know. the courts always side w the mom even if shes unstable. we all know this is true. shane might have decided to let things go until jennifer and her messd up family decided to give in. maybe not. a hate twords one who you used to love, can tear anythig apart. stop pointing the finger at Shane, and ive never met the man. we all need to point in the direction of the incompatent jennifer, incompatent sherry and the murder. and if your reading this shane, hold your head up and love the children you still have. you people need to check and recheck ur nasty lashings that are being geard tword shane. THE CULPRITS ARE THAT OF JENNIFER AND SHERRY……………………………………
June 19th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Jennifer boyfriend in the Detroit saids that he has 3 more kids and he is not paying a dime for any of them thats Y he skip town. hes to blame also
June 19th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
10987.Donkey Muffins,Nevaeh”s name has been around a long time. alot of Black people use that name.Jenny learn fast on how to smoke Crack have a baby and rob house’s I may be rude to people who don’t care 4 kids but when I read what happens to kids my Heart just hurts
June 20th, 2009 at 12:13 am
It looks as though everyone wants to blame everybody but the real killer. This person/persons is still out there relishing in the fact that no one has been able to find (him?)yet.
Maybe if more people were determined to find this killer instead of pointing fingers at who they think is responsible in the family for Nevaeh’s death, the real person responsible for this might just be found.
It is very hard to understand how these types just disappear into nowhere without a trace. Surely someone had to have seen something???
I pray that the evidence collected will disclose who is responsible for this horrible crime and will bring the person guilty of this to justice.
June 20th, 2009 at 10:15 am
People that real don’t care let there 5 year old kids outside late , not watching them go to someone house why did Jennifer not call to find out if she can play at that kid house. she help KILL her kid
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:04 pm
I’m going to have to agree with Gina on this. Even if Jennifer did not have a direct hand in Nevaeh’s death; she certainly helped make it possible, ( whether intentional or not ). As for the bio dad, he’s simply a deadbeat.
Surely, we all hope the guilty party will be found and brought to justice. Assigning blame to those that had complicity in this happening is just human nature.
June 23rd, 2009 at 6:07 pm
The courts are not going to punish GRANDMA OR THE MOTHER they feel that they went through alot. I work for a Fed. judge and he told me he feels the Mother had something to do with it.
June 24th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Mom has 3 sex offenders friends, sounds to me like mom wanted to get rid of little Nevaeh but didn’t want to get blamed, so she exposed her child to the solution to her problem. How can anyone feel sorry for this monster mom.
She should be charged as an accomplice to this murder. She is nothing but an evil bi*ch .
People that don’t think moms can do such evil better wakeup its happening all across America, yet women try to defend, feel sorry for or make some physicoligical excuses for these monsters. Man or woman monster=monster…
June 24th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Ken U R so right I hope the Mom & Grandma are charged for not taking care of Nevaeh. I hope there is a Heaven
June 25th, 2009 at 7:52 am
I have been following the AMBER ALERTS for over a year now,and it seems as though certain cities have the most cases. I still am praying for all of the Michigan childen which came up missing this year ! Has anyone heard if the other children have been found as yet. All CHILD SEX OFFENDERS should bear the CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAM- I feel the DEATH PENALTY is necessary these days with OUR COURTS presiding,and bringing forth EVIDENCE TO JUSTIFY THE MEANS ! AMEN !
June 25th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Barbara, there’ a couple still missing they just need to find the bodys 2year and a 4 &6 year old girls they are looking at the boyfriends now one is in jail waiting for other crime
June 26th, 2009 at 8:04 am
People state that they want all pedophiles and rapist to be executed. If the law were to do that, then what would prevent these sickos from murdering all their victims.
These sickos should be put in prison for life with no possibility of parole. But if they face the death penalty they would not want any witness alive, as they could not face any harsher sentence.
With a sentence of life in prison, we might get their victims back alive, because they fear when the die they r doomed to go to hell. With life in prison they can put their visit to hell off for several years.
I have sympathy no for these perverts, but lets keep the option of them letting their live.

I want to make myself clear on the above post, If a pedophiles or rapist kills their victim, then by all means they need to get the death penalty and be swiftly executed.
I wished that the families of the victims could have the pedophiles and/or rapist to be alone with them to get their pound of flesh.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:24 am
I cant believe nuthing is being said or even done as far as solving this crime. seems now they have found her, its been slowd down. and the reason for this? the perp is out there and is waiting, laughing and living it up. Tillman Cruchfield, where the hell are you? and why havent you found the killer by now????????????????????????????????????????????????? i tell you why, because monroe county police force they are a joke. if they were seriouse policemen, the feds would have not kicked them off the case…… for mishandling a vehical. Wake up Monroe County!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 5th, 2009 at 11:13 am
As anyone heard anymore news on what the police found ???
July 7th, 2009 at 9:53 am
I’m going to say it and not be apologetic about it, this is the fault of that supposed “mother”.
What parent in their right mind first off is “friends” with grown azz men that aren’t connected to the family by relationships or blood?
Secondly, what parent associates with child rapists. And that’s what they are RAPISTS. People kill me with trying to sanitize what these animals do by calling them molesters.
And lastly, who lets a child of 5 years old play outside unattended?
At the end of the day I hope the authorities out there have the good sense to formally charge this idiot broad with parental neglect at the least.
July 9th, 2009 at 8:22 am
looks as if everyone has forgotten that a child was brutally murdered. Here for example: everyone, everyday was here bashing and talking and leaving opininons. it has turnd july now and the talk of that little girl has come to an end. how sad for the community to stop asking questions, where as befor thats all that was being done. for little Nevaeh Im sorry this happend to you and someday child, someday you will rest easy and peacefully. until then, be safe where you are now and in time he will be caught and charged. with love to you Nevaeh forever……………………………..
July 13th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Everyone busy watching and reading about Michael Jackson and Nevaeh is on the back burned
July 14th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
The Mother is at fault and anyone who doesn’t believe she was involved is an idiot. The next group of idiots are the Michigan Police and the FBI. 5 weeks later and all you have is she might have been suffocated in the dirt? Seriously? They didn’t even take all the cement that was at that hole. I am sure if this was their daughter they would work a tad bit harder. No one expects them to do what television does, however, forensic files is on every night and they don’t leave clumps of freshly poured cement at a crime scene, or a rug, or………..

Nevaeh Buchanan Autopsy Results:
Police say Nevaeh may have been buried alive…
http://a11news.com/2176/nevaeh-buchanan-buried-alive/
July 15th, 2009 at 11:00 am
I am a mother of 5 ranging in age from 23 to 14. I have 3 grandaughters ranging from 3 to 1 month. I love all my kids and have always tried to keep them safe. I have one grandchild I never get to see because her parents are mad at me. I have an 18 year old that has a 5 month old and she has to call me and let me know where she is and when she will be home. I talk to all but one of my kids every week even if it is for 5 minutes to know they are ok. If I did not think my kids were able to take care of their kids I would take them in a heartbeat. OUR KIDS ARE THE FUTURE AND WE MUST PROTECT THEM AT ALL COST. There are WAY TOO MANY missing these days and it is not safe in these times to let your guard down for even a split second. If parents can not or do not want to take care of their kids then put them up for adoption and let someone who loves kids and can not have any take care of them.
July 15th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
I hate to be brutally honest, but people should have parenting classes before they are allowed to have children or are allowed to supervise them. Make them get a “parenting licence” and make it mandatory. It is quite evident that there are many more stupid people having more children. People cannot even understand the terms of a mortgage loan and we are expecting them to take on the responsibility of raising a child. We need to seriously determine if we can afford to have the gene pool dilluted any further.
Just think what effect that would have on crime if we would not let incapable parents raise and nurture all these future criminals.
July 15th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
No matter how many True Crime books are published on these creeps, the judges, law enforcements and even the parent seemed to not be paying serious attention to this problem…why?
We see it in the news, the internet, in books, it is in our faces that there are these predators out there and yet this mom appeared to embrace them into her and her child’s life. The mother made the statement that one of the men “Was like a dad to her”.
Doesn’t she realize that these sexual predators specifically and deliberately look for single mom’s
with children, act extremely nice to them for one reason only, to hurt your children. DO NOT BEFRIEND GROWN MEN INTO YOUR LIVES!
The mom is selfish when she only thinks of her sex life and not care if this man might harm her child.
How sad that this problem only gets worse and it’s the mother’s fault for not being protective of their children. We cannot just let anyone into our homes for the fun of it. I spend 18 years raising my son all alone, and never dated or brought people home.
He is now safetly grown up and in college. He knows all about keeping your kids safe. I didn’t let him run outside like I would see other kids. I took him to the park programs and supervised during the programs. I never left his side. He felt safe and I was grateful I was there because there were a few times that I felt if I hadn’t been standing by, he would’ve been hurt by other boys and men.
That kind of freedom that I had is long gone, at 52 years old, I had freedom to run all day outside, we didn’t know what was happening then. But, we know now, so there is no excuse for this happening. I feel for the grama, and not for the mom. She sacrificed her daughter so she could have male affection. While her daughter, only 5 years old, was made to suffer. She lived only to die so one man could get an orgasm…SICK!
I hope the mother suffers everday of her remaining life. But, I don’t think she will feel a thing. She will most likely defend her male sicko…probably will visit him in prison, maybe even tell everyone with glee that they’re getting married while he’s in the joint.
I hope he gets raped every minute of his day. I hope the guards beat the crap out of him too, torture him over and over. They wait until they kill to finally keep them in prison. Otherwise, they always release them so they can finally kill before they’ll keep them locked up…WHY ARE THEY SACRIFICING OUT CHILDREN? If the lawmakers children were being taken like this, you can bet laws would change quickly. But, were all just commoners so I guess we aren’t important.
July 16th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Between stories like this detailing horrific things done to young children and stories about animals being killed in horrible ways, I find it hard to believe a human being could do something so heinous to another human being or a poor defenseless animal. It’s sickening…
July 16th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
The sex predators had not been found guilt it could be her Brother, or a Uncle or the sweet nice old man next door to her.
July 16th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Mothers like this should be sterilized so they can’t breed any more as she lost her Mother card for allowing a 5 year old to play unsupervised in an apartment parking lot and befriending even 1 sex offender. She’s an accessory as is Grandma for allowing her daughter to have custody of her child, when custody had been taken away. This poor child was neglected by everyone that was suppose to protect her.
July 16th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Jennifer, I cannot image how you feel. You were a good mother, no matter what. Nancy Grace, forget her. That’s all media. Please, please, please go for help. You will need it. I know that you were a good mother. I knew the world was a sick place to live in, but this is without description on what your little baby went through. I KNOW THEY WILL FIND OUT WHO DID THIS AND THEY WILL PAY. That still will not take away the hurt and pain that you are feeling. Stay focused and set goals for yourself to help you from slipping into a depression that you cannot get out of. Easier said than done? You need ongoing support and I know you can do it. BE STRONG. I feel for you and your daughter more than what you could ever imagine. I have watched this story very closely and I wish I personally knew you to be a friend.
July 16th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
I also do not care what people have said about you. The fact of the matter is that you were the mother of your daughter, whether they think you made a mistake or not, and your daugther went through a brutal murder. Life is full of right or wrongs and it does not matter what you may have could of or should have done. YOUR WERE HER MOTHER AND THAT’S THAT. Everyone makes mistakes. I wish this would have never happened to Neveah. I pray for you and your family.
July 16th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
I think the Mother is hiding something
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:54 am
Lisa… are you fricken insane? people make Mistakes? Mothers make Mistakes? what the hell kind of mother are you? oh my god. and you think that her being a Mother (and thats that), she would have been watching her child. AND THATS THAT!!!! you wish she was your frined? are you stupid? YES, you are a stupid person.. You have and want Friends like that????? wow. your and idiot along with what all these others think of you. HOW STUPID YOU ARE. along with your wanna be friend. JEN did this to her daughter, take your blinders off and get your head outta your ass lisa………..
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:25 pm
U r so right Robbi about Lisa . what a ASS
July 24th, 2009 at 9:43 am
Having compassion for someone is natural, but having compassion for murders and for people who abuse, neglect and mistreat there own children, allowing bad people around oneself and their children. is unforgivable and uncompassionate. if there was such a thing called uncompassionate, Jen and her family shuould have there faces on milk cartons for having NO Compassion. im still flaborgasted that this lisa woman wishes to be friends with jen. straight outa the trailer park or the projects. surly this woman cant have come from a loving,nurturing family. this is not about this lisa woman. Both familys, the people that live in that same complex are all to blame… yes i went there, ALL of them are to blame. we as human beings automatically watch over little children. even if they arnt ours, we pass them in the mall, of course we ask ourselfs “wheres your mommy or daddy”‘ and most of them know, but there are the ones that dont, or werent TAUGHT to stay close to there parents.
It is our responsibility as humans to watch over all children. you see a 4 or 5year old, doenst matter what the age is, alone… its our responsiblity to see that child gets to who they are supposed to be with so this sort of thing (baby Nevaeh) doesnt happen over and over, if humans were two do that 9 times out of 10 that child woulnd get hurt.
we all need to stand up (and yes, im talking to the ones who just say it in there mind and just walk away, TAKE A STAND for our children please, i beg of you. this sort of thing happens and it could havppen to you…. take a stand for our children people……… really……… and you may not get a thank you for seeing that a child is out of harms way, which in many cases these parents just say “oh there you are” uhhhh what??? well, u as the person who stands up for a child will get gratatude just out of knowing that you did something….. end of story….
July 25th, 2009 at 10:28 am
Robbi , People should take a stand for all children like Nevaeh .Parents are to busy shopping, watching TV , talking on the phone and OH yes, taking a nap , We had a neighbor who was on the phone and his 4 year old climb on the pool filter and drown. Remember, everyone how Nevaeh died she was Buried Alive .Her face was forcibly embedded into the dirt hole, she had no clothes on , Rape, maybe by 2 men,clothes and concrete on top of her. Please watch your kids and all kids . Report if U think U may know someting no matter how small . We have to find this monster

I have been down to that site but it was a while ago. They had a sign wanting to build a bridge or staircase to get down where the body was actually found. This story took my heart. I just finished up with the Casey Anthony case being on and glad this did not happen around here. Then I hear this. I drive that way to go to Monroe County Community College and from the first day I heard about Nevaeh I knew she was by or in that body of water. i would go over the brige off of Telegraph and say she is there some where. I got the creeps when they found her there. I have a 5 yr. old boy and an almost 8 yr. old boy. Let me say they are not even allowed out front without me or an adult with them. I have some friends that live out that way and I for sure will not let my kids outside there. There is a murdreer out there in the most horrible way. How could someone kill her like that? She was a cute little girl with a life ahead of her. She did not choose her family. If this would happen to me I would have been arrested for neglect. You do not leave a 5 year old child outside by themselves let alone anywhere else. Where were all of the other kids parents at that were playing out there too? Noone seen one thing of who took her. My friend that lives out there took me to that site. Our kids were with us and they were so scared of that drop down the hill where they found her. It was not the most convient place to put her. What gets me is that noone seen or heard a thing. She just disappears. Then was she riding a scooter or a bike? The media has used both, do they even know what really happened? Why have they not found this sicko. I am scared for the children in this neighborhood. This person could strike again. This was the worst way possible for her to have died. Her family that neglected her should be found guilty, if they were watching her this person could never have taken her and everyone would have known where she was. I have an ex that has not seen his kids in 4 yrs. I could see him coming over to find them, but what right at that time do they really have. He was never there for the kid.

well. as it seems we are all in agreement that Nevaeh should have been supervised. The Family is at fault,guilty! that, too we all agree on. What Pissses me off so much is that there are no leads….. what the F? no leads, Jesus christ Feds and law enforcement officers. What is it that we as citizens pay your ass’s for? what, Traffic violations and other petty bullshit calls. none of us understand why there is nothing, absolutely nothing you “Law Enforcement” people have come up with. You did not even look towards the base of the river, Ahhhh HELLO, I’m a citizen and knew they SHOULD have been up and down that river…. That did not happen! The only way this case will get solved is if the murder slips or brags. i believe people have heard things from that murder. i believe someone will eventually get a brain and turn this person in. its someone from that family, a friend or something of that nature. and YES, he, she , they are out there, something will eventually leak from them. But I’m sorry to say, it will not come from FBI nor the police.
PROTECT ans SERVE! they didn’t protect and they sure haven’t served for NEVAEH. Monroe County Law,Police Force, Court system, YOU are all an embarrassment to this community!!!!

This woman/mother made a HORRENDOUS MISTAKE, NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT buttttt the truth of the matter is that she’s right when she says ANYONE IS CAPABLE OF ANYTHING. How many children have died that come from good families that actually watch their children and STILL something bad happens. A prostitute is a prostitute but does anyone have the right to take their life???? NO! A transvestite is what they are but does ANYONE have the right to take their life? NO! and so on…. – The only time we have the right to take someone else’s life is in self-defense or to protect our country. What infuriates me more than anything is that I feel NO ONE CARES UNTIL THE LITTLE LIFE IS GONE. HOW MANY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN ABUSED ONLY SO THAT THERE IS NOTHING BUT ‘ONLOOKERS’ WHO WITNESS IT AND DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL……… IF YOU DIE, EVERYONE IS HEARTBROKEN AND ANGRY AND SEARCH FOR SOMEONE TO POINT A FINGER AT AND BLAME BUT IF THE CHILD GOES THROUGH TORTURE AND YET LIVES TO TELL ABOUT WHAT THEY LIVED THROUGH, THE ‘ONLOOKERS’ SAY, ‘O…. YOU’RE JUST FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF, OR DID YOUUU TELL ANYONE????’ BUT WHEN YOU DO TELL SOMEONE OR EVEN IF THEY ALREADY KNOW – NOBODY CARES. AND THAT’S JUST FACT. And another fact is that if society sees that you’re a beautiful child (I’m talking about the girl’s now) and no one is watching over you then the onlookers especially do nothing out of spite and jealousy against the child. WE ARE ALLLLLL GOD’S CHILDREN. AND EVERYONE IS GUILTY. IF YOU’VE EVER CHEATED SOMEONE, IF YOU’VE EVER HELD JEALOUSIES AGAINST SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO YOU, IF YOU EVER MANIPULATED SOMEONE TO GET WHAT YOU WANT, IF YOU EVER SAT BY WHILE A CHILD IS BEING ABUSED AND YOU DO NOTHING, ALL THOSE SOMEONES THAT HAVE BEEN HURT ARE SOMEBODIES CHILD NO MATTER THE AGE. AND I DON’T SAY ALL THIS JUST TO SAY IT I SPEAK FROM HARD CORE EXPERIENCE. I’M THE VOICE FOR THE CHILD DAMMIT. THE ONES THAT CAN’T
SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY ARE EITHER GONE OR JUST TOO LITTLE TO BE ABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. BUT THE TRUTH IS, HAD LITTLE NEVAEH ACTUALLY SURVIVEDDDDD HER ORDEAL AND SHE GREW UP TO ACTUALLY BE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN – HOW MANY WOULD HAVE HATED ON HER FOR IT AND TRIED TO HARM HER IN SOME KIND OF SPIRITUAL OR MENTAL WAY????? HOW MANY WOULD HAVE CARED IF SHE SPOKE UP AND SAID – WELL I WENT THROUGH THIS AND IT HURTS ME SO MUCH????? WHO WOULD HAVE CARED? SO EITHER WAY HER LIGHT IS SNUFFED OUT. HER LIGHT IS SNUFFED OUT NOW – BUT HAD SHE SURVIVED SOMEONE STILL WOULD HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DISTROY HER LIFE IN SOME WAY OR HAVE CONTEMPT FOR HER. HER MOTHER MADE A HORRENDOUS, STUPID, UNBELIEVABLE MISTAKE BUT SHE DIDN’T KILL HER BABY. IT’S OBVIOUS BY ALL THE PICTURES THAT HER FAMILY CARED. I’VE SEEN WORSER BUT MUCH WORSE PARENTS AND OMGGG – SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS NEVER EVER HAPPENED. I’M A NEVAEH’S SIDE. IF THAT LITTLE GIRL HAD A CHANCE TO COME BACK I HARDLY THINK SHE WOULD SAY ‘YES, KILL MY MOTHER, or LOCK HER UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY.’ NO. I THINK MORE THAN ANYTHING SHE WOULD WANT HER TO HOLD AND HUG HER AND HEAR AN I’M SO VERY SORRY FOR NOT WATCHING YOU A LITTLE BETTER AND FOR PUTTING MY NEEDS BEFORE YOURS. IF YOU WANT TO HATE – THEN HATE ON THE ONE’S WHO ACTUALLY COMMITTED THE CRIME. BECAUSE HATING ON THE MOTHER WILL ONLY MAKE HER CONTINUE HER MISTAKES BECAUSE SHE FEELS THAT SHE IS UNFORGIVEN NO MATTER WHAT SHE DOES TO SHOW HER REMORSE. I’VE BEEN ON MY OWN SINCE I WAS 7 YEARS OLD AND HAVE WITNESSED THE MOST CRAZIEST OF THINGS AND IN ALL MY LIFE NEVER ONCE DID I ACTUALLY FEEL CARED ABOUT BY ANYONE, ONLY USED AND ABUSED, AND MANIPULATED, AND ROBBED AND BECAUSE I WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF CUTE I WAS HATED ON EVEN MORE. SO WHEN YOU DIE EVERYONE CRIES OUT AND SAYS ‘OOOOOOOOO I CARE SOOOOO MUCH’, BUT WHEN YOU’RE ONE STEP AWAY FROM HAVING YOUR FOOT IN THE GRAVE EVERYONE TRIES PUSHING YOU INTO IT. SO EITHER WAY – THE ABUSED CHILD DOES NOT WIN.
NEVAEH, PRECIOSA, IF YOU FIND MY MOTHER IN HEAVEN GIVE HER A HUG FROM ME – SHE WAS MURDERED TO.
KILL THE CHILD, YOU KILL THE MOTHER. KILL THE MOTHER YOU KILL THE CHILD. BOTH ARE LINKED SO VERY DEEPLY THAT ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER – ONE IS LIKE A WALKING DEAD. It doesn’t surprise me at all that Jennifer would gravitate towards someone else who has committed many sins. After being in trouble herself you think that anyone from YALE OR HARVARD would have been her friend? No way. So she sought out someone else who has been in trouble because she felt no hope in finding anyone better. She gave HIMMMM a second chance BECAUSE SHE WANTED A SECOND CHANCE HERSELF. She has already paid one hell of a price. For all those who want her dead – trust me – she’s mostly likely feeling dead already.
I LOVE YOU, NEVAEH.

Spirit, Do you thing who kill Nevaeh deserve a second chance? All you people that want Nevaeh Mother dead Shame on you ,there are kids kill everyday we had a 4 year old who was playing outside with his friends he ran in the the street to get the ball and got hit and died in his Mother arms. Did we blame the Mother for not watch her child. No. I just don’t think the sex offender had anything to do with Nevaeh. I think it may have been someone driving by and just grab her so maybe it could be someone Grandpa , Brother, Uncle, Teacher etc. who does not have a record.Jennifer Stay Strong. I am praying for you and your Family.
