[@Lola-Lu]

Should have put this PoS in the ring with her dad.

[@dandunlap8638]

The judge that gave him bond on his earlier charges should be on trial with him.

[@kristin_NZ]

Don't be a Bystander people.The person who saw him forcing her into a vehicle should have called 911 straight away. Shame on him.

[@socialbutterfly4146]

This step dad is so precious. The way he lights up and beams in every picture taken with his kids. He is exactly what you would dream of having for your children.

[@createinmeacleanheartohgod6871]

The step dad is such a authentic guy.

[@itsashuhlee]

If you kidnap someone, you should NOT be out roaming the streets.

[@kjb3d]

The judicial system is a joke, and the fact that this lunatic is still awaiting trial almost 5 years later is insane.

[@sofiathompson3531]

The poor brother you could feel his pain thru the screen, the mothers eyes, the heavy sigh from the stepfather.....I hope this loving family heals as best as possible.

[@nicool4935]

The love Aniah’s family has for her is so palpable, and to hear that this was Aniah’s greatest fear is heartbreaking. Wishing her spirit and her family healing and peace.

[@jessicakexo]

As someone from her hometown, there is a hole in our community from her tragic passing. Her mom is now an advocate for missing people and uses her strength to help families going through the same nightmare. Aniah will forever be remembered

[@gregprice103]

To see that guy looking back and smirking at the family, its even painful to watch on a screen. Aniah's family ... pure dignity,

[@jesssocountry334]

Baby girl we tried to get you home, I took off work to help search for you here in Montgomery. A case that is forever in my heart❤😢

[@user-sq1ly9yl8z]

No one accused of rape child under 18 or kidnapping should ever be out on bond. No exceptions

[@MSBROWNSUGA96]

Why was this monster free on bond?! So infuriating!

[@lindorini]

I love how the community gathered around this family ❤

[@java669]

This story broke me. She’s the same age as my daughter and I can’t fathom the heartbreak. She sounds like she was a shining example of how to live and love. The good really do die young. Bless her family.

[@Therezumee92]

Sees a woman forced into a car...does nothing. What a great society. Repulsive apathy is what people have.

[@sly_tendencies87]

How the hell did a guy with a kidnapping charge get bond?

[@therach7841]

Her poor brother. I hope he's able to heal from this. It won't be easy.
