LA - Ahlittia North, 6, abducted & murdered, Harvey, 13 July 2013

[TxLady2]

Something else I noted in that article. The mother's age was given as 20, which means she had to be just 14 when this little girl was born. That's scary in itself!

I live across the river in Jefferson Parish and we had an incident a few weeks ago with another little girl. A six-year-old, also black, was snatched out of her community pool in front of others. She was later found the same day at another location, but not before being sexually assaulted. They arrested a suspect after video surveillance caught him and his possible vehicle.

After that incident, hearing about Ahlitta gives me a really bad feeling. I'm originally from that side of the river and know it has gotten bad the past several years.

I don't see in this article where it says the comforter was queen-sized. It said 'her' comforter. Surely a 6 yr. old girl wouldn't need a queen size bed.
It's not easy for me to carry a queen size comforter if it's all wadded up... only if I have folded into a big square, and still it's pretty bulky, even for me. If a small child snatched it off the bed, it would not be folded, but even so, I don't see how one that size could carry it very far.

BBM - Good point! Also, if a little girl was dragging something like that down the street. Wouldn't there be some witnesses?

It was said by Mom in her interview. The link is there on the article.

You're fast, KateB!

Da*n!!!

 

[SilkySifaka]

What do we know about Matthew Florence.

 

[AmandaReckonwith]

Oh no. Matthew Flugence.

 

[KateB]

Thats better than my normal halffast! I seem to be stuck on WWL's twitter page. Time to back up & read the past 10 hours now while you guys sleuth this guy.

 

[kiteflier]

I'm pretty far away from LA - did they say what the possible connection to the POI is? Did he live in their complex?

Are the middle and right picture of Ahlitta from the night she went missing?

 

[carmenugt]

Hmm. Mother 20 years old. Child 6 years old..
Husband 46 years old
Child just moved to Harvey recently. Had been staying at biologial dads house.
Husband stated on previous reports ,, security door was locked.
46 year old Husband is the one to find her missing from locked house.
HMMM.

There is a warrant out for Flugence in connection with the alleged sexual battery of an 11-year-old. They're trying to arrest him on that charge, and because he lives in North's neighborhood, they want to ask Flugence about that case as well.

Deputies say he's just a person of interest, and hasn't been named a suspect in the missing girl case.

The sheriff's office is bringing in 30 people to canvas Woodmere, including FBI task force, to search for the girl.

If this is the case, then perhaps there is someone near to the family who thought the Ahitta was not being properly cared for and took matters into their own hands. This theory gives me hope that Ahitta is alive and well.

It is a Southern thing. Many grandparents care for grandchildren for various reasons. Lack of sitter, rebuilding, moving. Grandma provides stable enviroment for a while.

 

[carmenugt]

Can someone from the area tell me what area or county Harvey is in? I am trying to find a scanner feed. TIA

You will need to listen to Jefferson Parish. It may be divided into Westbank and Eastbank. You would choose Westbank.

 

[carmenugt]

:Welcome1: Headant

That was on the EAstbank. Not the same area, at all.

Which means, what?
