Hannah Mack

Dana Mack made the horrifying discovery Monday in her family's garage. Her 6 year old daughter- dead and hanging with a rope around her neck.
In a letter to the sheriff's department, Navarro County Judge Vicki Gray said an autopsy of the body showed "a multitude of events that together caused the death of this child." No other details were released.

It is impossible to begin to imagine the motivation for sexually abusing a first graders, and then leaving her to die by hanging her. Police have indicated that they have questioned several people, but have not yet named any suspects or made any arrests. Neighbors in the small Texas community are both worried about the possibility of a sexual predator in the area, and are concerned about the lack of information coming from the police investigation.
The first-grader's body was found in a garage behind her home early Monday.

"I'm just concerned about the kids out there," said Harold Hocutt, 75, a neighbor who knows the girl's family. "Little girls. Little boys. It's just something you don't forget. Every time I drive by [Hannah's house], I cry."

UPDATE: Police arrest person of interest.

**Update**

Dana Mack's boyfriend Kevin Wayne Anders, was arrested yesterday and is being held on $100,000 bond on charges of possession of child pornography.
Authorities said they found images of child pornography during the initial crime scene investigation, and Anders was later arrested and taken into custody.


**UPDATE 2**
Sometimes, it's hard to imagine that a child was ever given a fair shot in life. Hannah's mother's boyfriend was arrested for possession of child pornography shortly after her murder. It was difficult to imagine that a a worse person lived just down the road:
A neighbor of a 6-year-old girl who was found hanged in her family's garage has been charged with sexual assault and capital murder, authorities said Friday.

Hanna Mack's body was found earlier this month by her mother. Authorities said the first-grader had been sexually assaulted and hanged.

Shaun Earl Arender, 19, was linked to the crime scene by DNA evidence, Navarro County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Mike Cox said Friday. Arender lived less than a mile from the little girl's rural home, about 65 miles south of Dallas.


That poor baby was robbed of her life, her dreams, her chances at growing up and falling in love- having children of her own...

The death penalty is too good for this monster.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
