Found Deceased AL - Aniah Haley Blanchard, 19, Auburn, Lee County, 23 Oct 2019 *Arrest* #5

[Kudzu]

What I am HOPING happened was that she was the one driving and smashed her car into something deliberately, and he got hurt and lost blood during the process.

116 miles and just over a 2-hour drive if obeying the speed limit.

Well, longer than that if going through Montgomery first.

OMG. TMZ released an article. There was blood of two different people in the car. I have a feeling she fought back.

“As for the case against Yazeed, prosecutors say they found blood from TWO people in Aniah's car and they want to get a DNA sample from Yazeed to see if he's a match.”

Sounds like she definitely fought back, I wonder if her fighting back is what lead to them doing more harm to her than they had planned?

He asked for legal counsel to represent him.

I read that article & the first thing that stood out to me is they said the blood of two different people one being Aniah. Did that come out of the hearing? Everything else I saw I thought they said they found male DNA in the car. Maybe I missed something? Do we know it was actually blood that they found?

BBM- what does that mean?

my guess is that he requested counsel - as in a lawyer after he confirmed it was him. IMO

 

[peppertheyorkiepoo]

So what was he doing in Auburn?

Stalking, apparently. My question is how did he get from Montgomery to Auburn? Someone had to drive him. Who?

I don't know how these parents and family contained themselves when IY looked at them and shook his head! There is no way I could have conducted myself in this manor unless I was sedated . Praying for them! makes me soooooooooooooooooooo MAD.

Aniah Blanchard update: Judge orders DNA test, denies bond to Ibraheem Yazeed

"Beaver questioned Mixon closely on the witness, who has not been publicly identified. Mixon said he was staying at a nearby hotel and walked into the store at roughly the same time as Yazeed. The witness, Mixon said, had seen Yazeed previously. Mixon said the witness returned to the hotel after witnessing the kidnapping, and told a female companion about it. 'She told him it was none of his business and to stay out of it,' Mixon said. ... Beaver asked Mixon about the witness' criminal history. Mixon said he had reviewed it and that 'all I saw was a few misdemeanors.'"

IY has been living in MONTGOMERY. He is not a student anywhere. Tuskegee students living in Auburn are usually just the vet school students. There really isn't any other connection to this case.

It is literally in between Auburn and Montgomery. The forest is right next to it. He would have had to drive right past it. So, come again?

I believe he saw him previously because IY was staying at the hotel. I have thought this all along - to explain why he was even in the area.

I think someone asked about this earlier, and I probably just missed the answer. So the gag order does apply to her family?

I thought the same thing. What are the odds this witness would have seen him before if he’s a complete stranger and they just happened to be in a gas station at the same time?

I haven’t seen anyone post this from the hearing this morning. “The detective also said that from the video, Yazeed can be seen entering from the left and leaving from the right where it is believed Blanchard’s car, a Honda CR-V, was parked.”
