R.I.P.-Please Help find Chanel Nixon Killer

About Me

A Motherâ€™s Plea -To whom it may concern:You have taken her away from me physically, but she will always be with me in my heart; she is part of my being. When I close my eyes, I could still see her beautiful smile. I remember her gentle touch, her soft lips against mine as she said goodbye to me on that Sunday evening June 2006. I miss her laughter, her funny jokes towards her brothers and her father; how they miss her so. She had such a bright future ahead of her. Why could you not stop? Why couldnâ€™t you let her go?Over 2,000 years ago my lord and savior Jesus Christ was hung on the cross, he too was put to death innocently. He knew he had to pay the price for all sins even your sins; He loved us so much that he died for us. He conquered the grave and lives today and because he lives, I know Chanel will live again someday. It is not too late for you to live in the earth made new. Jesus does not lie and he always keeps his promises. In that earth made new they will be no hurting, no jealousy, no pain, no death, no crying, and no low self-esteem.When Jesus returns all these things will be done away with. How could you continue to live in peace knowing what you did to Chanel? One day sooner than we expect the lord will appear in the clouds of heaven and every eye shall see him. I pray that I would be able to forgive you by then by the grace of god, then both of us will be able to say low this is our lord, we have waited for him and he will save us.Trusting that you will do the right thing.Chanelâ€™s Mom

My Interests

A studious and popular Brooklyn teenager leaves her apartment to walk down the street to meet a friend and then pick up an application for a summer job. She never shows up to meet her friend or get the application. Four days later, her body is found -- strangled and stuffed into a garbage bag. The flyers around New York say it all: "Somebody Knows Something." But so far, no one is talking.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

Chanel's cell phone is still missing. The phone is a silver Sanyo Sprint phone model 8200.Chanel's shoes are missing. They are size 6 1/2 white Nike Air Jordan retro with green trim and the number 14 on them.

Movies:

It was last June 18, Father's Day, when beautiful, 16-year-old Chanel Petro-Nixon vanished, in broad daylight, from her Brooklyn neighborhood. She had enjoyed a life that was blessed - and cursed. Chanel had parents who loved her, a church that welcomed her, and report cards filled with A's. Yet she lacked two important traits: She wasn't white and she wasn't blond, unlike the many missing and murdered girls who, around the same time, stumbled from bars and into our collective consciousness. Chanel had black skin. Did it make a difference? For a long time, her parents were loath to complain that race played a role in her case's treatment. Not anymore.

Television:

Chanel Petro Nixon Birth: 1989, USA Death: Jun. 18, 2006 Brooklyn Kings County New York, USA Brutal Murder of "Perfect" Kid16 year-old Chanel Petro-Nixon didn't deserve to die this way. Friends and family call Chanel Petro-Nixon the "perfect" kid. She got straight A's, went to church every Sunday, and lit up a room with her smile. The question detectives now have is, who would want to see her dead?On Father's Day of 2006, Chanel left her home in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn to walk down the street to meet a friend and then go to a job interview at Applebees. She wanted to get a summer job -- and she had the interview all lined up. But, she never made it to the restaurant -- or to meet her friend. A few days later, Chanel's strangled body was found in a trash bag, just blocks from her home. The startling and downright scary part for investigators: no one is telling them anything. Chanel went missing on an extremely busy stretch of road in Brooklyn in broad daylight. Dozens of people were most likely sitting on stoops in front of their homes or shopping across the street at a line of stores. But so far, no witnesses can be found. And it's not for lack of trying. Detectives have put in thousands of hours searching for whoever killed Chanel. But so far, police haven't been able to find a motive for the crime. They haven't even been able to find anyone who disliked Chanel.
