Monroe, Michigan– Last evening at approximate 8:30 PM, 5 year old Neviaeh Buchanan was reported missing by her Mom. Jennifer Buchanan told police her daughter was playing with a friend in the Apartment Complex on her scooter when the playmate had to go in for dinner. The mother of the playmate returned later to check on her daughter’s scooter, but there was no sign of Nieveah. It is unclear how Buchanon was alerted that Neviaeh was missing.

The Michigan State Police issued an Amber Alert last evening for the missing child, which prompted many concerned neighbors to question their safety as there were no witnesses to say the child had been abducted. The answer to that question came swiftly as it was learned that Jennifer Buchanan, Neviaeh’s mother, was in a romantic relationship with convicted sex offender George David Kennedy.
