Something that bothers me about a comment made by the uncle of Nevaeh Buchanan



Even though he is only on camera for less than ten seconds what he says strikes me as odd. Ten seconds is not enough time to get a true read on someone so I would want to hear more before reaching any conclusions.

He says, "Our family thanks everybody from the bottom of their hearts for all their help and everything, and hopefully there's a good outcome with this tonight," said Michael Buchanan, Nevaeh's uncle.

My concern here is what would be a good outcome, when you are searching woods and fields? As a family member a good outcome is finding her alive and doing well, not finding a body. This is an unusual statement. I also do not like the "emotion" he is showing, it does appear somewhat conspired. I also do not like the distancing himself from the family by the use of "their" especially when he used "our" in the very beginning of the sentence. Being on television can produce a certain amount of nervousness that could explain these inconsistencies, but he doesn't appear nervous.

I've been looking for more information about the Uncle, and find it odd that he is criticizing the mother in the media. This is something he may feel, but it is something you only say privately; you do not hit someone when they are down when they are going through the toughest of situations; it also draws attention to the sexual offenders. This is all very interesting.

Once again, there is not enough time or information to fully come to any conclusions.◦

The little boy showed a lack of conviction when he stated "it's kind of sad" I think they should further question him.
