Nevaeh Buchanan, 5 Years Old, Missing In Michigan


Five year old Nevaeh Buchanan from Michigan is missing and the news is not encouraging. Police in Monroe, Michigan have told the press that two convicted sex offenders are considered "persons of interest" in the disappearance of Nevaeh Buchanan. Local news also reported that a bloody tool had been found in one man's van. A bloodstained towel and hairs were discovered in the other man's motel room.
While Monroe County Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield state, "We are hopeful she is still alive... We have no indication that she is not still alive," past experience would tend to indicate otherwise.
Yet the search must go on. Nevaeh was last seen Sunday evening in the parking lot of the apartment complex in Monroe. Persons of interest include: convicted sex offender Roy Lee Smith, 48. However, he has not been charged in Nevaeh's disappearance. Smith was friends with Nevaeh's mother, Jennifer Buchanan, age 24. Detroit News .
A tool discovered in an unlocked glove box apparently had blood on it which has been sent to a lab for testing.


Convicted sex offender George Kennedy, 39, is also a person of interest. Kennedy, apparently was Buchanan's boyfriend. He is currently being held on an unrelated parole violation. He has not yet been charged with any crime related to Nevaeh's disappearance. Two children allegedly told police that they saw Nevaeh go into a wooded area to meet "Daddy George." The 8 year old boy told an FBI agent that Nevaeh was "kidnapped" and a "bad man stabbed Nevaeh in the stomach with a knife." The boys explanation was neither clear nor complete. However, a search of Kennedy's room apparently resulted in blood and hair samples being accumulated for testing. The Sheriff cautions that the focus should not be restricted to Kennedy. Keep in mind any person of interest or suspect is to be considered innocent unless otherwise proven in a court of law.


In the interim, if you have seen this little girl, please contact the Monroe County Sheriff Department.

Keep in mind, being labeled a sex offender is not always an accurate description. Unfounded allegations that result in a plea can cause that labelling.
