MONROE — The man who called authorities after finding a body on the banks of the River Raisin said he and his father unknowingly sat for hours fishing from atop a concrete block not knowing it contained a body.

Guy Binkley, 51, told The Blade Friday morning that the body — believed to be that of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchannan — was encased in some sort of concrete ready mix just feet from the river near Dixon Road in Raisinville Township.

Mr. Binkley said he and his 72-year-old father, who was visiting from out of state, went to the river to fish about 9:30 a.m. Thursday. They were sitting on the rocks and on a piece of concrete and Mr. Binkley said he occassionally kicked his foot at it.

He said they noticed a foul odor but thought it was decaying fish.

This one hit close to home for me, as I live in Monroe Co., MI, and just yesterday afternoon we were still setting up volunteer search schedules, and working out meals for all those who turned out to help.

I hope they catch the creep/s who did that. Poor little girl.

Thank you MiaCulpa for helping out in the search. We're south of Toledo and have been following the news on this case.

7. Grandma had full custody

My daughter in Monroe told me that the boyfriend to this child's mother is a pedophile. My question if that is true then why did grandma who had custody let this boyfriend be any where near her grand-daughter. The news in Toledo said the mother didn't fully pass the polygraph test either. Not much happens in Monroe but isn't that the same location as to that plane crash a number of year's ago?

RIP Nevaeh
