THIS IS NOT AN OBIT BUT I THOUGHT WORTH POSTING The murder of Laneshia Crowder It has been more than a year since Doris Crowder’s daughter was found dead in the bedroom of her Henson Circle home -a year of family turmoil and frustration that the person responsible for her death has not been arrested. `Since she died, I had to quit my job where I worked 20 years so I could take care of her kids,` said Crowder. `The little money they get from Social Security helps but I am not getting child support and couldn’t get unemployment.` Making matters within the home worse is that the children, Kenneth, now 8, and Lyrick, now 3, have nightmares. Laneshia Crowder, 21, was found dead in her bedroom at the 270 Henson Circle home she shared with her children. Her son had been badly beaten and left for dead. Laneshia Crowder had also been beaten but, unlike her son, did not survive her attack. Her daughter was unharmed.
