Dorothy Nelson and Daughter Cierra
Cierra,s Case
Days turn into years, then again it seems like yesterday said Dorothy and her mother Para Nelson. They are the mother
and grandmother of Cierra.
Cierra Nelson's body was found on April 8,2001, in a Mt Morris Township drainage ditch.
It was about five months after she disappeared near her Flint home in November 2000.
She was a smart ,feisty, normal little kid. She loved animals, once she wrapped up a squirrel in a blanket and brought
it home. She just wanted to help it. I miss her alot. The sad part is that I never got to see her one more
last time. We had to have a closed casket with a picture on top, that was so hard.
It feels good going to the group because I can cry and talk about Cierra with everyone. See they understand,
and it helps to have people who understand what you are going threw.

We called him Ed, Thats what everyone called him. Ed was a loving, caring person who lived everyday like it was
his last. He always told you he loved you. He would go out of his way to help others and gave good advice, telling them of
his love for God and the Bible.
He had one son named Hatrail that was his heart and love of his life, who
he spent alot of time with. He loved his car and the finest things in life, like clothes and hats even as a child.
He just bought a new corvette that he worked hard for.
On Sept. 11, 2003 at 3:00am His girlfriend Tanasha Jones ran my son over with her van, dragging him over 12 feet
with his body wedge between the
tires and the vehicles underbody. The van then struck his corvette. This happened at her house on 316 W. Dewey
St. He was 34 years old and worked for Ali Flint L.L.C. as a materials handler, he was a very hard worker.
I am his Mother and their is not a day that goes by that I dont miss my son.

Wanda Pierce(Founder of support Group) With Son Marcus
On May 5, 1992, Marcus Anthony Pierce stopped by his mother's office supply company to tell her he was going to visit
a former acquaintance.
Marcus (Marc) then a college student home on spring break from Ferris State University,had run into the young man
the day before while shopping. At the time, Marc didn't know the young man was a fugitive from a minimum security prison.
After their encounter, the acquaintance called Marc to come over and help him get something out of the basement.
His almost naked body was found later in his car parked in Palmer Park in Detroit. He had been stabbed nearly 30 times
in the neck and chest, shot twice in his hand and three times in the head. He was just 20 years old.
This child was never in trouble, he modeled to help put himself through school.He had his whole life ahead of him.
A 20 year old man was charged with first-degree muder in the case. His apparent motive ? He thougt Marcus had told the
police of his where abouts. But police said their was no indication that any one has turn him in.
To add insult to injury, the defendant was acquitted,despite the fact that two people testified for the
prosecution, that marc was at the accuser house that day.
Judge Jackson "said to the jury", I can not believe with all this evidence you found him not guilty,as he slammed his
gavel down and walked out of the court room.

On Sept.24,2002 Marlon Edward Young was found in the 4200 Block of Devon Lane in the City of Flint.Senselessly
