I hope to God law enforcement is keeping things quiet because they are doing a smash up job and are about ready to break the case wide open. I'm not far from Huntington, WV and I'm an alumni of Marshall University where Leah Hickman was murdered in an off-campus apartment in December 2007. Her murder remains unsolved and unpublicized. There was the initial coverage by Nancy Grace just like here, but the matter has faded away. Police "don't want to compromise their investigation" by talking to the public. The towns of Weston and Huntington are half a state apart and the investigators are totally different people but I PRAY that the same thing doesn't go on with Aliayah's case. The parents in Leah's case have been quiet as far as I can tell as well. I promise you if my child went missing, I would rattle every cage from here to China. No one would forget my child or my mission to find her. I would have a gallery of restraining orders!!! My child would not just be a blurb in a local newspaper once a year on the anniversary. I hope the public does not let Aliayah's case fade away. I'm terrified we will never know what happend to her!
