MI - Nevaeh Buchanan, 5, Monroe, 24 May 2009 - scooter abandoned - #1

[mistivon]

Something else is bothering me that I don't think anyone has touched on.
I know the police are saying that these two kids originally said they saw nothing, then when reinterviewed said they saw Nevaeh stabbed in the stomach and going into the woods to meet blahblah.....OK, now if my two kids saw that, they would have run screaming in the house telling me "MOMMY, someone stole Naveah, someone stabbed her in the stomach"...and iI myself would have been on the phone to 911 in a second. So IF the stories are true, then where were these kids parents? And if the stories are NOT true....any possibility the kids were kinda "given" the story to have grounds for a search warrant? I mean, I'm glad they got it, so am not against it. I just seem to want more for this to be a kids fabrication because then it means maybe more people just kept quiet.
Hope I am making sense, need another doubleshot

ETA: The more I think about it, the more I am thinking this story is just from imagination, and noone saw her go anywhere. Confused.

I believe the childrens original story that they saw nothing. I think as time wore on and they saw stories on tv and heard their parents and others talk about it, they started imagining things that could have happened and probably the police questioning them didn't help, they might have encouraging them along subletly in their stories. I don't think their stories were the basis for the SWs though. Just the fact that he was a SO, in violation of parole and there was a missing child might have been enough to get the SWs. Not sure about that.

Does anyone know how long it should take to hear about the blood on his multi-tool? As far as whether or not it's Nevaeh's, I mean.

So who was the last person who actually saw Navaeh before she went missing? Her mom, her friend or her friend's mom?

Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said Thursday that authorities are following any and all leads on this case. He said there is a "person of interest" in the case; however, they are not focusing solely on that person. http://www.toledoonthemove.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=305636

Just another article with a whole lot of nothing new

IMO the timeline should be established using the time someone OTHER THAN her mom saw her.

at this point they only know it is human

http://www.toledoonthemove.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=305636Evidence seized in the search is being processed. A preliminary test reveals that the blood found is human.

supposedly the friend... However... we do NOT know how long she had been playing outside and the time that the mother or grandmother actually saw her before the friend knocked on the door to say Neveah was riding her scooter in the road at (as mom says it???) 1800ish

What if this child had been outside playing unsupervised for hours???

According to this it was the mom.

"I may be the last person to see her and she was in my care, but she's been in my care," Jennifer said after the news conference.

Was she the last person to see Nevaeh? The police are looking for information on the timeline from 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm. Is there maybe a question about the neighbor's story?

Yea Nursie, I have my druthers about it too. From everything else we have learned I am very suspicious about him. Stranger things have happened, but I think this journo has put more into the story than is true. FOX just called him a POI this morning!

I am just heartbroken about this little girl! I can hardly read through the thread without crying. And it appears that it is all because of STUPIDITY! It just makes me want to scream.

Investigators in Monroe have another person of interest in the case of missing 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan, the owner of the van driven by her mother's boyfriend -- and a con . victed sex offender himself.Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman Russ Marlan said Roy Smith, 48, of Monroe may have been taken into custody Wednesday. Paroled in February 2008 on a third-degree charge of criminal sexual conduct, Smith's name was on the title of the van driven by George Kennedy, the registered sex offender who befriended the little girl's mother. Kennedy is being held on allegations he violated his parole by his contact with Nevaeh and her family

"Kidnapping is a complex case. Sometimes it takes months to solve and sometimes years to solve," said Edward Hanko, assistant special agent in charge with the FBI, during the press conference. "I’m not going to say that’s going to happen here."

I hope this doesn't take months or years to solve

 

[daisy7]

Has LE released the missing person's report?

 

[mistivon]

Oh no, nurse.....that just made my heart drop
The whole thing, and now a second guy....just makes me sick.
BTW, that story says the last two to see her alive were 6 and 8 year old kids.
HTH

From the above link:

“My daughter, I mostly thought about my daughter,” she said, adding that she, her mother and Nevaeh have lived together ever since. “She was the one that helped me turn around. I cherished every moment I was with her.”

Am I the only one bothered by her use of past tense?
