Rest in peace, Yashanee.

"It would have been Yashanee Vaughn’s fifteenth birthday on Sunday; instead her family and friends gathered to remember the young murder victim."

Yesterday was the one year anniversary of Yashanee's disappearance. Her family breaks my heart, I hope they get justice in this case.

I'm so grateful that there is justice for Yashanee and her family. This kid is truly frightening, he never said one word about why this happened. RIP Yashanee.

An unbelievable revelation by Bennette's attorney. This makes me so incredibly mad. This is despicable.

"The 14-year-old victim's family was ready for that to happen in court Thursday, but they weren't prepared for a bombshell revealed by Bennette's lawyer.

He stood up in court and said they knew where Yashanee's body was early on in the investigation, but decided to wait before alerting the authorities."

I can't believe this is legal.

"The family of Yashanee Vaughn is considering taking legal action after learning attorneys for Parrish Bennette knew where her body was for months without alerting them or police."

I hope they pursue this and they get a little bit of justice. That poor mama, knowing her baby was out there all those months.

omg- isn't that interfering with an investigation, accessory after the fact or something??? Is that even legal to do? really??
The audacity to allow that family further anguish when she could have been laid to rest much sooner. Shocked.

I hope there are charges that can be brought against these attorneys or that they will lose a very expensive lawsuit. :furious::furious::furious::furious::furious::furious::furious:

Interesting comments under there.

I can't believe how young he'll be when he gets out, even if he serves all of his time. He'll be 34. He will be young and know more about being a criminal after all that time in prison. Scary to think what he might become.

Just posting as I saw this link this morning. I have not followed Yashanee's case, but wanted to link.

Such a gorgeous young lady. May she RIP. Life is so unfair.
