Video Released of Woman Found Dead in Police Van
Page 1 of 1 • Share
Caitlin O'Kane of CBS News wrote:The death of a 29-year-old woman whose body was found in a Huntsville Police Department van is being investigated. Police say surveillance video shows Christina Nance crawled into the van days before her body was found. But her family says the video raises more questions than it answers, CBS Huntsville affiliate WHNT reports.
Investigators watched more than a week's worth of surveillance footage, Huntsville Police Deputy Chief Dewayne McCarver said in a news conference Friday. Nance was seen in the parking lot on Saturday, September 25, around 12:30 p.m., he said, and the video showed her laying in the bushes and sitting on the hood of a police cruiser.
Nance then climbed into the rear doors of the prisoner transport vehicle, which has doors that don't open from the inside, McCarver said. However, the windows do open and Nance could be seen opening them in the footage, according to WHNT.
She was found dead in that van on October 7. But footage shows movement in the van through Tuesday, September 28.
A police officer who was walking by the van saw Nance's shoes under the open window and discovered her body inside, WHNT reports.
"The Huntsville Police Department's thoughts are with the family during this tragedy," said Police Chief Mark McMurray. "Investigators met with the family Friday morning and showed them the security video of the events leading up to Ms. Nance's death. We will continue to work with them through this difficult time."
Nance family representative, Frank Matthews said watching the video left the family with more questions than answers.
"I was thinking everything was going to be clear, there was going to be some type of clear indication of my sister being you know.. of how she died but there wasn't. Not any like at all, everything was blurry. I don't know if that was my sister," Latausha Nance said, according to WHNT.
The family now plans to have a private autopsy conducted. The State Medical Examiner will announce the cause of death once additional studies, including toxicology, are complete.
The police department said there were no sign of foul play, and that the van was only used occasionally to transport evidence and equipment. It had not been used since March, WHNT reports.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is representing Nance's family. "We will get to the truth of what happened to Christina Nance, the young Black woman found dead in the police van in front of the Huntsville Police Department," Crump said in a statement Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.
I have a number of stories I want to get to the bottom of and lend my commentary to. This one is added to my shortlist, so I have to say the thing I always say. I WILL add my commentary to this when I get more information on this story. The reason I say this is a simple reason. I don't want to jump to my own conclusions on this or any other story like this without getting all the information necessary that goes with these stories. The last thing I want to do at Bethea's Byte is run a virtual news gym. What is a "news gym"? If I'm running it, it's a place where I get part of the story, RUN with it, STRETCH the truth and JUMP to every conclusion possible. That is what Bethea's Byte will NEVER do. This is the home for News, Opinions, Debates and Your Voice and the last thing I will do is bring information and not gather it all before bringing my opinion before you all. There. I said it. My mission statement is clear. I will never add my opinion before I get all the information.
Just Saying.
