[Underneath the Sky]

Third suspect arrested in connection to Aniah Blanchard’s disappearance

"Lee County D.A. Brandon Hughes has confirmed that David Johnson, Jr. was arrested in Montgomery. He is being charged with hindering prosecution.

Johnson is believed to have been the person who drove Ibraheem Yazeed to Florida after Aniah’s abduction, where he was eventually arrested."

Why did they kill her? I thought the theory was trafficking

My guess is they did it for money seeing as they both have criminal records that wouldn’t allow them to have a decent job to make a living. Both of them have robberies under their rap sheet where they took things not even worth it. She fought back so they killed her. imo, I feel like she wasn’t dead when they dropped her off at that location. She was probably drifting in and out of consciousness from loss of blood and too weak to do anything which eventually led to her dying due to the loss of blood.

Thats my theory based on IY riding around with the 77 y/o nearly dead from his last known attempted murder before this one.

I bet that second guy talked. He’s got a wife & a family. I bet you he made a deal for the location of the body. IMO.

I knew she was in the Tuskegee forest I just haven't talked about it. It was the most logical site.

It was not said, she was found in Shorter, you would take the Shorter exit off the highway.

Shorter is not in the Tuskegee National Forest. It is about 20 minutes from downtown Montgomery. It's about 30 minutes away from Tuskegee National Forest.

My hubby just received an alert on his phone stating a third person has been arrested. This would be from WBRC Fox 6 in B'ham. Third suspect arrested in connection to Aniah Blanchard’s disappearance

Will a COD be able to be determined since it's been a month? I noticed news reporters said skeletal remains so I imagine any defensive wounds or other evidence on her body may be long gone by now. I hope her family remains strong, especially her mother, I can't imagine having to bury 2 children.

I think it depends on how she was killed. Sometimes it is possible.


I feel just awful for her family.

Hindering prosecution maybe not involved driving Aseed to Florida perhaps?

So weird that the Rapper Bambino Gold and his cousin were driving a 2016 CRV the day they went missing. There bodies were found in separate locations on County Road 13 and Hwy 80.

An alternate explanation could be that AF told them where to find the body; and that's how they know that it is AB.

I can't imagine having to explain something this awful to her 6 year old sister. That was her only older sister, that poor baby.

Do either of the two suspects live at those apartments? or know someone who does? do we know?

I feel like I read something about Squirmy working really close near the apartments? Like a mile or so away?

 

[Iggy2020]

Any ideas on how they determined Fisher was involved?
I am guessing he was the one that told them where she was.

 

[Van Helsing]

Does anyone know what this is?

Google Earth

"Aw snap! Google Earth isn't supported on your browser. ..." I'm curious what you are showing.

 

[jgarris]

I'm curious how this all snowballed for the investigators. A lot happened very quickly. Interested to see the full report come out.

 

[michellefultzyahoo.com]

I knew more would be involved, and more know. Praying for this young ladies family and friends.

I read that, but I have no idea if true. His profile says he was a cook at ihop.

 

[Bzzy Bee]

I still don't understand what happened during that hour if the 2nd suspect lived in Montgomery as well? I was thinking maybe IY went to get him but that doesn't make a lot of sense unless he was already in Auburn too. It seems like they may have took her to that location on the way back to Montgomery but it doesn't explain that hour at all

MOO, probably DNA, but maybe they saw him on video walking along Atlanta Highway from direction of Aniah's car.
