Nancy Grace Jennifer Buchanan Interview

I definitely don't feel Jennifer Buchanan, Neveah's mother, handled her Nancy Grace interview very well.

It was kind of hard having Nancy Grace ask her about her daughter's decomposition right at the start of the interview like that, but once again, she just went on again to defend and focus on George Kennedy, the sex offender friend of hers, and in my opinion, she doesn't seem to be a normally grieving person.

Not that it is a crime.. See the video for yourself.

Nevaeh Case: Investigators Look for Possible Witnesses At School Playground

MONROE (WTOL) - Sheriff Crutchfield held the daily 11 a.m. news conference on the search for missing 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.

The latest details as of Tuesday morning June 2 are that the sheriff's department has received several tips about the green van they are looking for. They have not yet located the van or the person(s) driving it. They were looking for that minivan for questioning purposes only, believing the person(s) in the van may have witnessed something helpful to the case.

Sheriff Crutchfield is asking anyone who may have been at the Hollywood School Playground on Sunday, May 24 between 6 and 7 p.m. to please call investigators at (734) 243-7070.

On Tuesday June 1, the Sheriff's Department is following up on the 800 tips they have received. They have no searches planned, however they could change depending on where tips lead them.

The sheriff declined to name who is or is not still a person of interest. George Kennedy remains in jail on unrelated charges of violating parole. The sheriff also said they re still in contact with Jennifer Buchanan, Nevaeh's mother.

Nevaeh Case May Have New Witness

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office said Monday that it wants to speak with the driver of a green, box-style minivan who may have information in connection with the disappearance of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan.

The van was parked at the Hollywood School playground behind the Charlotte Arms apartments between 6 and 7 p.m. May 24. That's about the time when Nevaeh disappeared while riding her scooter outside her home in the complex.

"We just have to find the exact window when they were there and what they may have seen when they were there," Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said Monday.

Meanwhile, a judge set a $250 bond Monday for a third man jailed on an unrelated charge of arson-preparation to burn.

Monroe County District Judge Jack Vitale told James Easter, 64, that he could go free if he posted bond because he has been cleared as a person of interest in Nevaeh's disappearance.

Investigators arrested Easter when they saw him burning something in his backyard about 5 a.m. Sunday, just after he had been questioned about visits to Nevaeh's apartment complex.

"I did burn cardboard. I did have a fire in the back -- not guilty of destroying property," Easter said before being quieted by the judge. Easter later posted bond.

Two other men identified as persons of interest in the Nevaeh case -- George Kennedy and Roy Smith -- are still being held in jail while the Michigan Department of Corrections investigates possible parole violations, MDOC spokesman John Cordell said Monday.

Both are friends of Nevaeh's mother and both are convicted sex offenders whose paroles forbid them from having contact with children or anyone who has children.

Nevaeh is 3 feet 10 inches and weighs 45 pounds. She was wearing a light-blue shirt with red and white stripes and knee-length jeans when she disappeared.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or the Sheriff's Office at 734-243-7070. Crime Stoppers is offering a reward up to $1,000 for tips leading to the return of Nevaeh. Call 800-773-2587. Staff writer Zlati Meyer contributed to this story.
