HPD chief: Video shows Christina Nance getting into van where her body was found

"One week after the body of 29-year-old Christina Nance was found inside a Huntsville Police Department van, the department’s leader says they have surveillance footage of her getting into the van on her own. Thursday, Huntsville Police Chief Mark McMurray told News 19 the department tracked down video from a nearby building that showed Nance “somewhat disoriented” and “alone” getting into the van.

It’s still unclear how long Nance was in the van before she died or before her body was found. McMurray did say that Nance’s death occurred days before her body was found on October 7th. Chief McMurray says the family will be able to view the surveillance footage on Friday, before the video is presented to the media."

Now anyway you look at this, it is a strange case....the autopsy says there was no foul play and official cause of death is still undetermined and toxicology results are pending.........Seems to me like this was an unfortunate accident and hopefully when the family sees the footage and gets the final autopsy report; there can be some closure...at least it wasn't a murder....because if it was, that would be one bold killer..to leave a body in a police van at a police station...

Odd that nobody drove the van for that long.

Odd that nobody drove the van for that long.

According to a report I read, the van was last driven this year for some type of evidence transport.

Crawled in there on her own, and no foul play. Probably drugs.

New details in Huntsville death investigation

Seems that way

Probably along the lines of Cujo, only no rabid dog. She probably was high, got in, and couldn't get back out somehow, and died in the heat.

 

[Gabe Lackmann]

Have toxicology reports been released yet?

That is probably the first place to look.

Mighta been drunk out of her gourd, too.

There is no way to solve this crime in Alabama. After all, if you do a genetic test, for example, they all have the same DNA and none of them have any dental records to confirm who they even are for sure.

They all who?

Oh let me guess...is this a pathetic attempt to say stupid shit for no reason other than the fact you are miserable and insecure?

Have at it, Sparky.

Seems like a tragic accident. What's the solution? Check the vehicles more often, or ensure they are locked? Not really sure what there is to discuss.

There is no real solution....

If she was dealing with a drug addiction, a possible solution would be treatment for that addiction....if she was dealing with underlying mental issues; improving access to mental health services would help.....

Pretty much treat her with the same compassion you would want others to treat your loved ones if they were suffering from opioid addiction, etc

Fair enough. When it comes to addiction that has to start with addict, forcing it never works. The problem with mental health is that it has to maintained by the patient. The problem there is it's treated with medication that usually have negative side effects and the patient stops taking it on their own.

Demonizing people with mental issues and drug addictions definitely hasn't been the solution......especially when a certain group tends to get demonized more than others -- as if their addictions and issues make them less worthy

 

[Claudette]

Rather strange to say the least.

A van that wasn't driven regularly?? All of the vehicle where I work are kept locked when not in use. Those are Sheriff's vehicle. Kinda funny this van wasn't locked.

Lighten up, Francis.

I agree on both counts.

Jail is not the answer for drug issues, nor is it the answer for mental health issues.

End the war on drugs. Let out all "drug offenders." Use the money on better mental health care.

Problems: SOLVED

Where is the joke?

I understand conservatives struggle with comedy.....but they have never joked about black and white folks having the same DNA......that is blasphemy for folks like you

Yah, everybody knows they are ignorant hicks down in Huntsville filled with trailer trash, especially with the types of major employers they have, suck as, Nasa/Marshall Space flight Center, Boeing, US Army Redstone Arsenal, Intergraph, Siemans, Northrop Grumman, University of Alabama, you know, low education, low skill, low pay operations like that.

This story is a great example of how the media manipulates the public and seeks to create division. This is how Yahoo! News framed the title of the story

A Black woman was missing for 12 days before she was found dead inside a parked police van in Alabama

The police said that Christina Nance climbed into a van on September 25 and that they believe no foul play was involved in her death.

news.yahoo.com

This incident involved a woman who happens to be black. The fact that she is black has no relevance whatsoever to what happened. It wasn't the cause of her dying. It wasn't the cause of her missing for 12 days. It had nothing to do with how she ended up there in the first place, so why make a point of even mentioning her race let alone in the title of the article if not to make false implications?
