MI - Nevaeh Buchanan, 5, Monroe, 24 May 2009 - Body found encased in concrete - #7

[LookyLu]

Hello. I'm a metro Detroiter and new to the board. I remember following the news on the search for Nevaeh very closely and hoping & praying they'd find her alive. When they found her as they did, it just broke my heart along with thousands of others that were watching and praying across the country! As a parent, a grandparent of 3, a Michigander and just as a human being, I'm completely dumbfounded as to why or how LE has managed to come up with nothing, or so it would seem anyway. This little angel deserves justice and our children deserve the right to protection from LE from lowlifes like this. :furious:
LE needs to find this creep/creepess and get him/her off our streets! There is just so little even mentioned any more. Nevaeh deserves LE's attention and somebody dedicated to see this case thru!

I just read this comment on the Monroe News site

Word is that Jennifer Buchanan is 7 Months pregnant, So tell me this, is the state going to step in and take this one away, or are they goin to wait until SHE kills this one as well????? This is what the world needs to know...... But they are probably goin to wait, cause thats just Monroe for you... a very sorry commuity that dont know when the truth is right in front of them and just waits for something bad to happen, then they want to act like they are doin something..... i wouls also like to know what the S.O. Daddy is thinking, is this the reason why they had to get rid of little Nevaeh, becuase she wasnt good enough to have around so she could have a little brother or sister, oh wait she already does now, but she will never get to meet them.... Rest In Peace Nevaeh.. We Love You... And Miss You!!!!!!

I think LE knows this but do not have enough to make charges stick or "prove" it.

My thoughts and opinions only.

Well isn't that just what the mother of the year needs is a baby! Maybe it will be a girl and she'll bring home more sex offenders so they can hurt this little one. She doesn't deserve any kids.

I wouldn't be surprised if the mother doesn't know something or was involved. She talked terrible about her beautiful little girl and complained about her all of the time. Why she even had her is beyond me. It was said that they lived with the grandmother but it didn't seem to me that the grandmother was there with all of those perverts hanging around. One of them is probably the baby daddy. This mother hadn't even raised that little girl...the grandmother did. If I had been the grandmother she wouldn't have taken that little girl until she could prove to me that she was ready to be a mom and obviously she wasn't ready.

Why is this case so hard to solve? With all of the creeps hanging out at the apartment it must have been one of them or it was the mom. Can't they track who bought cement during that timeline? Someone sure as heck bought some. Was the cement bags left behind anywhere? I think LE needs some help to get this case resolved. Where is the FBI or someone with some knowledge? This baby girl deserves justice.

I see there still has been no arrests in Nevaeh's case. She deserves justice.

I really used to feel that when a body is found relatively quickly, forensic evidence on the body and at the recovery scene would point toward the murderer. Not so in this case. I thought LE had forensic evidence.

Fresh eyes need to go in there and look at the whole case.

MOO

I have seen a few cases like this in the past when it is the DA who is blocking the charges vs LE. I am sure LE has presented what they have and what they believe happened. They may want a grand jury indictment, ala Casey Anthony, or they may be unwilling to pursue the case.....so we wait.

Just a bump for Nevaeh, with pics:

Where did you read that there were no signs of sexual assault? I must have missed that. Could you please direct me to that information with a link? TIA

I think that part of my post got in with the one you quoted when bobbisangel quoted my post.
I am the one who posted the info. I am sorry-I should have provided a link. It is what it is-we won't know until there is an arrest and trial when the autopsy results can be released.
Here is a quote from Jennifer B.-

Jennifer Buchanan said she was told her daughter's body had no signs of trauma or sexual assault. The only substance in her system was caffeine, probably from pop. Forensic results showed she did not have any drug in her system.

That I read in this article-

[concerned4kids]

I am just now reading and hearing about this case..... I can not believe that they have not named her killer yet... Who would do that to a child??

This world is a crazy place and we just have to keep praying for all of our children..Some of the things that these kids are suffering from through neglect on the parents part.. Its just sickening...

The autopsy results are out now and sexual assult wasn't mentioned. It just says that she was suffacated by being buried alive or her face pushed down into the dirt. This is under Autopsy Results Released. So it seems that someone just wanted this child out of the way. Mother?

I wish the new year will bring justice for you angel!

Not a day goes by when you don't cross my mind.

Family still seeks answers, closure in girl's slaying
13,000 tips later, grisly Nevaeh case remains unsolved after 7 months


MONROE - Memories of Nevaeh Buchanan weigh heavily in the heart and mind of the slain girl's grandmother.

Sherry Buchanan said she hurts every day, but the holidays are among the hardest. She also is dreading Feb. 3, when her granddaughter would have turned 6 years old.

"I think about Nevaeh constantly. I just wish that she was here now," she said just days before Christmas. "I raised her from the first day she was born. I did everything with her."


Mrs. Buchanan recalled the morning after unwrapping gifts two years ago when Nevaeh crawled into her lap and hugged her tightly.

"She told me, 'Grandma, I love you,'•" Mrs. Buchanan said.

It was just more than seven months ago that Nevaeh went missing from the parking lot of Charlotte Arms Apartments, where she lived with her grandmother and her mother, Jennifer Buchanan

Thanks for the link, MysticRose. It's sad though that the link is from the Toledo Blade rather than The Monroe Evening News.

I live in Monroe just about a mile and a half from Charlotte Arms. I don't make any claims as to knowing the Buchanan family personally although I do 'know' the grandmother by sight. She went back to work at a local grocery store just a couple of weeks after the funeral service.

I don't know anything more than the rest of you since our local police department hasn't released any official information on this case in MONTHS. I do hear rumors, but this isn't the place to post them since they are just that...RUMORS.

I feel so badly for the grandmother. The grocery store she works at is the one grocery store in Monroe closest to my home. I don't do the majority of my grocery shopping there since it's not a 'major' store in town. I shop there when I just need things like milk, bread, and coffee.

I see the grandmother when I shop there. I try to avoid getting in her checkout line but sometimes her line is the only one open since as I said, it's not a major grocery store chain and really doesn't get much business.

So, sometimes hers is the ONLY checkout line. I can't always avoid looking at her. She looks totally broken down. Since this incident, I've thought of expressing my condolences to her when I am forced to be face to face with her.

My tongue gets tied, though. I can't say anything to make her feel better and in the back of my mind I think I would only tear the scab off the wound that might be healing some if I 'poked my nose in'.

Trust me, we locals are just so damned frustrated and our local newspaper hasn't updated this case in months. All I know is rumors and second had info that I can't post. Again, as I said, it's interesting that your link is from a Toledo OH newspaper.

Seems the local paper has forgotten all about this poor baby.

I think next time you should look her straight in the eyes and say, "I am sorry for your loss. Your grandaughter Nevaeh was a beautiful child and I just wanted you to know people haven't forgotten about her. We love that little angel and want justice for her as much as you do."

Or something to that effect.

I know it's uncomfortable but I think the fact that someone one out there is remembering her grand baby and praying for justice would be of great comfort.

When we lose someone, as much as we miss them...we want them to be remembered and not forgotten.

Hugs to you.

Thanks for the advice darlin gal. I feel awkward bringing it up after so many months have passed but you're right.

Maybe I should have added that when Nevaeh first went missing, and for several months after, I was confined to my home with severe health problems. I had friends and family doing my shopping for me so it's only been the last two months that I've been able to get to the grocery store where Gramma works on my own.

The length of time that's passed has been what's made me feel so awkward and afraid I'd open a (possibly) somewhat healed wound. But as I said, I think you're right and you helped me understand that.

Just as a side note, I just checked our local newspaper forum and someone who DOES claim to be a family member posted that the family is considering bringing psychics in since local LE has come up with nothing. Of course, that sparked some snarky comments from a few posters.

At any rate, I think Gramma might still feel comforted to know that so many of us still remember her precious grandbaby and hope for justice.

Again, thanks for helping me get past my 'stumbling block', darlin gal!

 

[darlin gal]

No problem! I am glad to have helped.

I have been in that place on both sides. The awkwardness and not knowing if you should say something and acknowledge their loss and having loss someone and people not mentioning them for fear that I would break into tears.

Even if might tear me up, it still touches my heart to know that people care enough to remember them. It means the world.

I am especially glad to hear you are back on your feet and feeling better.


All the best to you hon!

Hello again darlin gal!

I don't want to go off topic time after time, but it sounds like you've had first hand experience with a loss similar to this poor baby's fate.

If I'm understanding you correctly? My heart goes out to you sweetie.

Thanks for the well wishes on my health improving. I still am more concerned that local LE get off their behinds and actually make an arrest or at least reassure the community that this might have been an isolated incident. Even an 'isolated incident' isn't really sufficient for me at this time.

BUT LE could at least say whether they are pursuing one of JB's sex offender friends or whether there might still be an unknown dangerous person stalking children in our small town. My heart goes out to you as well since you seem to be indicating you've experienced a similar loss.

Love to you, darlin gal!

Not to be mean, but since I live in close proximity to the area, I stopped into the grocery store where Nevaeh's GM works two weeks ago.

She was cheerful, and didn't appear grief stricken at all. She was joking with me and everyone else within hearing distance.

She's never seemed to really care about what happened except in the first few days. Maybe that's normal for her, but it's NOT normal to me.

I feel so badly for the grandmother. The grocery store she works at is the one grocery store in Monroe closest to my home. I don't do the majority of my grocery shopping there since it's not a 'major' store in town. I shop there when I just need things like milk, bread, and coffee.

So, sometimes hers is the ONLY checkout line. I can't always avoid looking at her. She looks totally broken down. Since this incident, I've thought of expressing my condolences to her when I am forced to be face to face with her.
