Update Nevaeh Buchanan - Tragic


Every morning or so I have a little ritual - at least I have had it for the last month; I do a search for news and updates on the Nevaeh Buchanan case. If you've been reading my blog, then you will know she is the little girl from Monroe, Michigan who turned up missing late in May, and whose little body was discovered a couple of weeks later in a shallow grave along the banks of the Rasin River.

The case grabbed my attention because she was also a child who was willingly exposed, by her young mother, to known convicted sex offenders. Just the mere thought of that made my stomach churn, and outraged me -

Much like the search for any information on where little Nevaeh was, and what happened to her...the investigation into how she died and who killed her, seems to be exceedingly slow. I understand that the police need to dot their "i's" and cross their "t's" to assure justice is served when the killer is located....but I can't get out of my head that in the time needed for the investigation there's a monster out there and most likely getting some twisted satisfaction from attention that the case does brings.

This morning I did my little ritual of searching for news and updates in the case...it's been a couple of days since my least search. Sadly while there was finally some new updates, it just added to my disgust at what this innocent child suffered the last moments of her life. Dirt was found in her young lungs...indicating that she was buried alive in that shallow grave next to the river - that shallow grave where quick set concrete was poured on to her little body, and I wonder now if she felt the concrete hardening as she struggled to hang on to life.

Why? How? It just boggles my mind how anyone could do this to a small child - a little girl at the age where learning her alphabet and dreaming of a Cinderella life should be her only worries. At the age where life is magical and filled with new adventures.....Why?

OMG - I just can't even begin to think what she must have gone through. But make no mistake - the person who did this will pay. There is no such thing as getting away with something like this. No way can you outsmart karma.

I worked in a prison for 25 yrs, with many sickos and it never ceases to amaze me what we "human beings?" can do to one another. To hurt a child like that....OMG!! I recall saying to an inmate one time increduously..."You killed your Grandma?" She was elderly...why would anyone KILL their old defenseless granny? ::shakes head:: We can only pray and be examples of the love we all should show to one another....no violence, ever. Blessings to you and yours, Lisa

is this not so the horrific reality . it drives me nuts too all the time .
how people don't leave thier abusive partner who is abusing tyhe kids etc. I've an ex-friend who's partner molested thier kids and she chose to hide in alcohol etc. really messed up family now . all her children ever asked was to stand up and say NO and walk away from him . so many people choose the abuser over thier kids .
then there are sicko people who share thier children with othesr and both parents who are abusing . I've met and known victims from all the spectrum
aslo I've had the police officer Perry Dunlop pop up again in my head and praying for him .He tried so hard to expose conspiracy , corruption child torture rings etc. His life was turned to hell by those pedafiles trying to stop him .
It is a sad fact if an abuser / killer , torturer of children is of afluence , power and money there will no conviction just coverup . Of the over 20 some predators I've known none have ever been convicted or watched , stopped etc. they continue to travel to rape chilren , to share thier own etc.
the only 3 I have known who were stopped two were killed by thier victims and one took his own life .
Reality does suck big time for these children , really it does .
We ahve absolutely got to keep speaking out for them ! Thank you so so much for doing so
Much Love to You

I live directly across from Detroit on the Canadian side and have been following this and updating multiple times daily.The twists and turns on this case are crazy but to get the autopsy results threw me further then any of the other cases I have covered.I was thrown for a huge loop!!I am covering the Tori Stafford case in London Ontario they still havent found her body(8 yrs old) but NEVAEHS torture and death tore my heart open again.I had to shut down my comp after becoming so deeply involved in it to the point I made a friend in the news business that gives me things just before they are breaking on the case.I turned it off and just cried for a day when they found her body,again when results were released about being buried alive.As of rigth now moms missing in action.Relatives and neighjbors say they havent seen her in few weeks and her mom said shes been around.I think moms covering for her just as the Anthonys did with Casey(not the murder,the fact shes not been around mom wants everyone to believe she has been)either way these babies being murdered have to stop its gotten way to far out of control.We,Canada and States need harder tougher laws!!If you would like to check out the sites they are,,Nevaehs is,,,http://www.dreamindemon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20080 there are 22 pages and thats number 1.And Tori Staffords are,http://www.dreamindemon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17153

Thank you all for your comments on this post...

This case ...Little Nevaeh...is just so tragic...too tragic for words. Sadly, I think the worse os yet to come when we do learn who all was involved in ending her innocent life....

Every time I think of her, and what she most of thought -how terrified, and confused she must have been, tears come to my eyes..and in a way I feel helpless because I know that in the future...even right now as I type this....there is a child somewhere being abused, being sexually molested, having their life come to a tragic end...and there's nothing I can do no matter how angry I get nor how many tears I cry...

How do we end this? What is the answer? How...and why?

I to have been following this story and when I heard that this tiny little angel was buried alive. I have no doubt that the mother has a role in what happened to her daughter. I hope that those responsible for her murder pay the maximum prison sentence allowed by law. That little angel when through pure hell. The person who dumped her into that shallow grave like yesterdays trash never had the spine to put her suffering to an end, instead they left her there alive to suffer alone. Her tiny cries went unheard by those who cared. I am certain this little girl begged to be let go, to go home, to stop the pain of what was being done to her before she took her final breath. RIP Nevaeh for you are Michigans angel and God loves you and so do we.

History Shrouded in Mold - Part 1

  Sipping my morning coffee I sit on my bed looking out almost century old windows and into the backyards of my neighbors. This morning was no different. The sky is grey and there is a slight chill in the air, reminding me that outside that glass is another world filled with life and adventure, stories to tell and lessons to be learned...knowledge to be gained. In other words, hope.  That sentiment brings back the emotions I felt as a little girl. Then, I sat on my bed looking out the massive Victorian era windows of the 3rd floor apartment we called home. It was in the mid 70s -Evanston, Illinois. I loved being able to see into the green of the trees that lined our street. Between the leaves and branches was another world playing out before my eyes. The birds, the squirrels and sometimes even a stray cat - they lived out a day in their life without ever knowing they had an audience taking in their story.  I would spend a lot of time watching them and getting to know their personalit

A Pay it Forward Christmas...

The Christmas Clues came all month long.....a month filled with constant motion ..chaos...stress...and deep inside me the usual holiday dread. Those clues helped to divert my attention away from the emptiness that has been in me for the last few years.... Those memories of a large family coming together where I was the hostess for all the holiday feasts....the memories that usually remind me of the last few years and how much the boys and I have lost when domestic violence entered our home...and what destruction it left in it's wake. Yes, the clues had me looking forward to time that in the last three years or so I would wish I could close my eyes around mid-November and wake up on Jan 1st - yes, me...the one time overly merry hostess had turned bitter towards the holidays. This is the first year in a very long time that I have actually looked forward to Christmas.... That Secret Santa...and those elves....must have known that I was dreading another Christmas...another holiday in

Propane - Shame on you Inergy!

I know this isn't a typical post for me, but I guess with me not much is typical. The last couple of weeks I've been spending a lot of time researching and learning about propane. Propane is something I never really thought about before because I never really used it - except, maybe, once in a great while for the gas grill rusting in my backyard. However, as I said, it's now a topic I have been spending my nights researching on the Net. The reason for this is because of a phone call I received a couple of weeks ago - the person on the other end of the phone told me that a company here in my area was about to charge $3.14 a gallon for propane, while all the others were running around $1.80 for a gallon. They explained that many people don't realize what was happening, and just how wrong they thought it all was. That call came in on a Tuesday morning, the week between Christmas and New Year's....a typically very slow news week, and one where at the paper (The Mes
