This is really devastating. From the article linked he was the father of her cousins and began grooming her in 2022. He killed her because he believed she was pregnant with his child. My heart breaks for poor Na'Ziyah and the people who cared about her. So sickening what she had to endure. Glad charges have been filed and hopefully her remains can be recovered soon. Rest in paradise sweet child. MOO

 

[notafighter]

Same article says her clothing was found (I don't think that has been mentioned before) and indicated a struggle had taken place. Sounds like they might have been ripped or cut. He's also charged with sexually abusing two other victims and police believe there might be more victims. so evil

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

There's a special place in the afterlife for people who commit these horrific crimes
