Yesssss! Justice for Ashanti!

 

[ElementalLaura]

YES! Fingers crossed that this is the guy(s). This one is under my skin; she was working hard and chasing her dreams. This person is a menace and needs to be off the streets. #JusticeforAshanti

I appreciate that. I have considered that and I am doing my best to keep a look out for me and my children. The people close to me know what's going on. I'm just almost consumed with this and waiting everyday for them to find who did this. I hope it's not him but ....my goodness

What a wonderful person you are! And, as other posters have said, you are brave.

NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) -- A retired Navy veteran has been arrested in connection with the murder of Ashanti Billie.

A surveillance camera at Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek recorded the 19-year-old's Mini Cooper leaving the base early on the morning of September 18. Nearly two weeks later, people in Charlotte, North Carolina found her body near a church.

On Wednesday, the Department of Justice announced the arrest of 45-year-old Eric Brian Brown on a charge of kidnapping. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison.

According to court documents, Brown worked as a day laborer and had worked on the construction of the Blimpie's where Billie was employed.

Brown, a 21-year veteran, is homeless and reportedly lived at random facilities and buildings on and off the naval bases. He was frequently seen visiting the Blimpie's.

Witnesses reported seeing Brown attempting to flirt with Billie on several occasions, and one witness recalled hearing a conversation where Brown made a crude sexual comment directly to Billie.

13News Now obtained video -- personal surveillance video -- taken shortly after Billie's car left Little Creek. The video shows her Mini Cooper and a man getting out of it, tossing something into a dumpster. It's the same dumpster from which investigators recovered Billie's cell phone.

Kimberly Wimbish, a spokeswoman for Billie's family, posted a couple of items on Facebook Wednesday including one that said: "Thank you God Justice 4 Ashanti."

Following the announcement of Brown's arrest, Billie's family issued the following statement:

The entire Billie family would like to extend their deepest thanks and gratitude to the FBI, Virginia Beach and Norfolk Police Departments, and NCIS for their attention and investigations regarding their daughter, Ashanti Billie. Additionally they would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to all that helped and came forward with tips. At the current time the family needs time to process the information but will be making a public statement soon. Thank you."

This makes me so happy. It's almost like I knew her.

His background all makes sense. We’ll hear about the Charlotte church connection at some point. His described behavior makes me think she didn’t have a chance (iow, this wasn’t a tragic accident, he hunted her). Poor Ashanti. She was a bright light.

Great! No murder charge?

[Justice4ashanti]

Kidnapping for now? Wonder what the cause of death was.

Excerpt from link:

[FONT=&quot]Billie's car was later located in Norfolk on Sept. 23. Detectives said Billie’s pants were found inside the car and they contained dirt and debris, consistent with them being removed while outside and on the ground. The undercarriage of the car also had dirt and vegetative debris, consistent with it being driven off-road, officials said.
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
Several witnesses described seeing a car similar to Billies parked in various spots in Charlotte the week of Sept. 18. The locations witnesses described were in neighborhoods nearby where Billie’s body was eventually found on Sept. 29 behind a church. Authorities said Brown attended vacation Bible school at the church as a child.

Murder charges will come. And sadly I believe we will see another charge. They have him right where they need him for now.

He was hitting on her, so says her co-workers.

I am so relieved. This is so close to home.

"The U.S. attorney’s office said that the body was found on property owned by, and next to, the church where Brown attended vacation Bible school as a child."
