Adre’Anna Jackson - Remains Recovered
The skeletal remains of Adre’Anna Jackson who was reported missing from Lakewood, WA on December 2, 2005 were discovered on Tuesday of this week. The remains were discovered by two boys who were searching for snakes in a field. Adre’anna's skull and spinal cord were lodged in a bush.
The Lakewood, WA Police Chief held a news conference today asking for help from the public in providing information regarding Adre’anna Jackson as well as information in helping to locate a transient who is familiar with the homeless encampment where Adre’anna's remains were found.
The man they are looking for is Spencer Douglas Grant, pictured at left. He is believed to possibly have some awareness of the crime scene. Police would like to talk to him.
Spencer Douglas Grant is known to have been in the Lakewood, WA area recently. Police would also like to speak with anyone who is familiar with the homeless encampment or Adre’anna Jackson.
The FBI is also involved in the investigation and has contributed an additional $50,000 to the existing $10,000 reward set up for information leading to the location, arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible in the death of Adre’anna Jackson.
Spencer Douglas Grant, the man sought by police in Lakewood, Washington earlier this month has been located. He claims to have stumbled upon Adre'anna's remains about one month ago while searching for his clothing in the vacant lot where Adre'anna's remains were recovered.
He claims he did not report the discovery of the body at the time because "he did not want to be on television, and he had warrants out for his arrest". He is in custody at this time for the outstanding warrants. Apparently police do not believe he is involved in Adre'anna's murder.
Adre'anna's mother is angry that this man found the body of her daughter but was unwilling to even report the find through an anonymous tip.
I am reluctant to believe this man's story. I think he knows something. I am wondering why he is being allowed to give this interview while he is in custody. I wonder why he is willing to be on television now.
Watch the video here. I would like to hear what readers of this blog think.
