Police have found the remains of 19-year-old Auburn, Alabama university student, Aniah Blanchard, off Macon County Road 2. Blanchard's body was discovered yesterday morning at 10:45AM in a wooded area in Shorter, Alabama. She is the stepdaughter of MMA star, Walt Harris, who fought in the UFC.

The beautiful teen was last seen on October 23, 2019, at a convenience store, being watched and followed by 30-year-old convicted felon, Ibraheem Yazeed. On October 25, 2019, police recovered Blanchard's vehicle, which bore the signs of damage and its interior contained blood.

Shortly after, police stated they are of the belief Blanchard is a victim of foul play. Yazeed had fled to Pensacola, Florida after Blanchard was publicly declared missing. Police in Florida arrested him on November 7, 2019 as a person of interest, turned suspect in the case. He was extradited to Alabama and charged with kidnapping.

The charges stated Yazeed was arrested for being present in a situation where the "blood of someone suffering a life-threatening injury" was discovered (in Blanchard's car). Prior to the discovery of the blood in the vehicle, a witnesses also saw Yazeed forcing Blanchard into her SUV and later came forward to police.

On November 22, 2019, police arrested Antwain Fisher and charged him with first degree kidnapping in the case, for disposing of evidence and giving Yazeed a ride. On November 25, 2019, police arrested David Johnson and charged him with hindering prosecution, regarding Blanchard's disappearance.

It would appear one of the accomplices divulged the location of Blanchard's body in exchange for leniency in court. The prime suspect had been in custody for weeks, but Blanchard's remains had not yet been located. Once accomplices Fisher and Johnson were arrested, a few short days ago, police were able to crack the case.

While the police work was strong in this case, leading to a fairly quick set of arrests, the court system failed regarding Yazeed, who should not have been free. Yazeed has now been arrested for attempted murder in three separate cases, the most recent being Blanchard.

In January of this year, Yazeed was arrested for kidnapping, attempted murder and robbery, regarding an attack he waged on an elderly person. The case is ongoing, but due to the severity of the charges, Yazeed should not have been free.

In 2012, Yazeed tried to murder two police officers in an act of attempted vehicular homicide. The officers survived the incident and Yazeed was charged with attempted murder. However, the charges were dismissed by a grand jury, after prosecutors failed to make their case.

In 2017 Yazeed brutally attacked another police officer, while fleeing arrest. He was charged with aggravated assault, battery of a police officer and drugs possession, among other things. However, he was found not guilty, after prosecutors failed to make their case.

Yazeed looks like a deranged psychopath in photos. You can take one look at him and see something is very wrong. However, for nearly a decade he has been going around like a deranged, homicidal madman attacking people at will. There has been no serious consequences for his actions.

Yazeed should have been declared a danger to the community years ago and put away for decades, due to the fact he is a violent repeat offender. Yet, he was not and now an innocent 19-year-old girl, who barely lived her life, has been brutally killed.

Why aren't psychiatric evaluations done when determining whether to issue bail in serious cases, regarding violent criminals. It is a matter of life and death. Psychiatrists can aid the courts in making the determination. It can save lives.

There is a matter where a person's behavior had alarmed me. I emailed a psychiatrist to ask him to evaluate the person's behavior. I gave documents to the FBI on the matter, as well as the licensed psychiatrist's evaluation of the person's behavior, which stated the person in question needed to be "locked away immediately." The FBI ignored what the psychiatrist recommended and let the person run free. Then, not long after, the person in question commissioned two murders of innocent people. I will write more about it in a future article.

My point is, psychiatrists can be very useful in law enforcement and court matters when determining who should be arrested and whether they should be given bail. Psychiatrists are trained to look for certain signs. Using what they were taught in university and comparing behaviors of a subject to historic cases they studied, psychiatrists can detect a pattern of behavior indicating whether a person is a danger to the public.
