MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- The mother of a 4-year-old boy reported missing from a mid-Michigan Indian reservation said Monday she is holding out hope that he'll be found safe as additional searches were planned.

Jaimee Chamberlain, 21, told The Associated Press on Monday that her son, Carnel Chamberlain, was being cared for by her boyfriend at her home near Mount Pleasant when the child disappeared Thursday.

She said when she got home from work that night, her boyfriend – who regularly spent time with her and the child – told her Carnel wasn't there.

"I ran inside and looked around. I didn't know what to do," said Chamberlain, who went to a neighbor's home to see if she could find Carnel and then called police.

After staying home during the early portion of the search at the request of police, Chamberlain said she has been joining those looking for her son.

"I just want my son home and I don't want people to stop looking," she said.

Authorities planned to regroup Monday after search teams, the FBI, police dogs and more than 100 volunteers scoured the area Sunday, said Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe spokesman Frank Cloutier. Crews on Sunday also searched ponds at a wastewater treatment plant near the child's home, but nothing significant was found, he said.

The tribe has said the boy's disappearance was "suspicious." The tribe also has said the mother's boyfriend initially had not been cooperating with authorities, but was described as "minimally cooperative" Sunday.

In earlier reports about the search, the missing boy's first name was spelled Carnell or Carnal, based on information released by the tribe.

The FBI is assisting tribal police on this case, and directed requests for information about the search to tribal police, the FBI in Detroit said Monday. The Isabella County sheriff's department also is assisting in the search, but said it couldn't release information.

Police investigating the mysterious disappearance of a 4-year-old Saginaw Chippewa boy say they’re now focusing on the child’s mother’s boyfriend. And the boyfriend is not cooperating. Carnel Chamberlain, the missing child, disappeared Thursday night from his Tomah Road home east of Mt. Pleasant. “The mother has been fully cooperative in this developing investigation,” said Tribal spokesman Frank Cloutier in a statement released Saturday morning. “The boyfriend, however, has not fully cooperated in the investigation thus far.” Neither adult has been named by Tribal authorities. Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police now are calling Carnel’s disappearance from the Isabella Reservation “suspicious.” The FBI has joined the investigation. A statement released early Saturday morning said investigators had a “person of interest” in mind, but did not identity that person. Felony crimes involving Native Americans committed on Indian reservations fall under federal jurisdiction. The missing by, Carnel Chamberlain, 4, is a member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. “Their investigation moves forward from this point,” Cloutier said
Carnel was supposed to be with his family Thursday evening when his mother discovered she couldn’t find him, Cloutier said. “They started to look,” Cloutier said. “There was a bit of a panic.” The family called Tribal Dispatch shortly after 10 p.m., and the search was on. Search efforts, led by bloodhounds and volunteer searchers, were concentrated in an area bordered by Remus, Shepherd, Leaton and Tomah roads. An Aeromed helicopter searched the area in the early morning hours as groups of volunteers hit the streets, woods and fields calling the boy’s name. After dawn Friday, volunteers were spaced every few hundred yards and a command center was set up on Tomah Road near the Tribal campground as officials continued to search a one-square-mile area of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe’s Isabella Indian Reservation But after the day-long search, officials reported no significant leads. Spotters, all of them wearing fluorescent yellow or green vests and several perched under canopies and makeshift shelter from the sun, lined the roads. Volunteer coordination, meanwhile, was headquartered in the Senior Room at the Tribal Operations building. “There’s probably 15 different agencies helping out,” Cloutier said Friday. More than 150 volunteers were part of the search, searching the square-mile area around the house foot by foot. Volunteers came from the Tribal community, the community at large, and included workers at the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, the Soaring Eagle Waterpark and Tribal Operations. Carnell Chamberlain is described as a 4-year-old Native American boy, approximately 3 feet tall with short dark hair and green eyes. He was wearing a dark-colored Angry Birds T-shirt and dark blue or green shorts with green trim. The Tribe did not request an Amber Alert. According to U.S. Justice Department guidelines, Amber Alerts may be issued only if local police confirm there has been an abduction. Anyone with information about Carnell is asked to call the Tribal Police Department at 989-775-4700. Morning Sun content producer Susan Field contributed to this report.

4 yr old Carnel Chamberlain murdered, buried & burned at his home/BF Anthony Bennett indicted by Federal Grand Jury & charged with 1st degree murder/Mom Jaimee Chamberlain arrested on felony drug charges/Bennett's trial begins 4.23.13 for Carnel's murder Empty MOUNT PLEASANT: Fire department searches through dumpster for clues to whereabouts of missing boy

Post by raine1953 Mon Jun 25, 2012 4:47 pm

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe Tribal Fire Department members searched through a Dumpster on East Tomah Road in Mt. Pleasant Saturday evening, looking for clues on the whereabouts of 4-year-old Carnel Chamberlain, who went missing from his home on Tomah Thursday night.

A Tribal Police officer on the scene said the Dumpster search was part of the ongoing investigation.

Next door, Carnel’s mother, 21-year-old Jaimee Chamberlain, sat outside with friends and family, waiting for news.

“I just want him home, I don’t care what happened,” Jaimee said, and another person in the crowd at the home added, “We just want a safe return.”

Jaimee said she has just gotten home from her job at Isabella’s restaurant at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort Thursday when she learned that Carnel was missing. She looked around her yard, and “knew something happened” when he wasn’t near the house.

“My son’s not a wanderer,” she said. “I always thought I’d have one of those kids you almost need a leash for, but he never went far, he stuck close.”

Jaimee said the police and FBI have assured her that they are doing everything they can to find Carnell, and that rumors and tips involving the case were rampant.

“One thing I was told is that my aunt saw a dark green or black van with lights on the top in our area at that time. The police said they would look through the security footage at the casino, but I don’t know if that’s happened.”

She said she is willing to do anything to get her son back, and offered the public her phone number, 989-317-7256 and her home address, 7340 E. Tomah Road, to anyone who can help.

“I want to say to whoever has him, can you please bring my son home? I just want him back, I’ll give whatever amount of money or I don’t care what. I just want him home.”

At the search staging area at the Nimke Center across the street from Tribal Operations on Leaton Road near Broadway, a new group of search volunteers gathered at 6 p.m. Saturday to continue looking for Carnel.

Karrie Knapp of Mt. Pleasant spent the afternoon searching the dense area between Broadway and Shepherd roads on her horse Lantana.

“I called this morning and offered to search on my horse, because sometimes you have a better point of view a little higher up,” she said.

Knapp said she changed her shift at House Dairy in Rosebush to help with the search all day Saturday.

“Anytime a person goes missing it tears at your heartstrings,” she said. “I can’t believe there are people who wouldn’t be moved to help.”

Marcella Hadden, the public relations manager at the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, said that more than 150 people volunteered in the search efforts Friday, and 139 and counting had volunteered by Saturday evening.

“We have community members and rescue agencies searching a grid from Nimke to Shepherd Road,” she said. “Our experts are focusing on this area because of the denseness of the vegetation.”

Initial reports indicated that police did not suspect foul play in Carnel’s disappearance, but a statement released by the tribe’s public relation’s department early Saturday said that police now “believe his disappearance is suspicious.” The statement goes on the say that Tribal Police are focusing on Jaimee Chamberlain’s boyfriend, who has not “fully cooperated with this investigation.”

“The boyfriend isn’t talking to police but (Jaimee) is fully cooperative,” Hadden said Saturday evening.

Carnell Chamberlain is described as a 4-year-old Native American boy, approximately 3 feet tall with short dark hair and green eyes. He was wearing a dark-colored Angry Birds T-shirt and dark blue or green shorts with green trim.

The Tribe did not request an Amber Alert. According to U.S. Justice Department guidelines, Amber Alerts may be issued only if local police confirm there has been an abduction. Anyone with information about Carnell is asked to call the Tribal Police Department at 989-775-4700.

Post by raine1953 Mon Jun 25, 2012 10:07 pm

MOUNT PLEASANT, MI — The Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police have executed a search warrant to gather information in the case of Carnel Chamberlain, a 4-year-old boy who has been missing since Thursday night.

A warrant seeking evidence was executed on a 20-year-old man, the boyfriend of the missing boy's mother, who had been identified by police as a person of interest, Tribal spokesman Frank Cloutier said.
The man was not in custody as of Monday afternoon, Cloutier said. He could not give additional information about the warrant, but said details would be released if there are any developments in the case.
Police believe Chamberlain's boyfriend was the last person to see the child before he went missing. They said initially the man was not being cooperative as police began the investigation.
Bambi Scarlott and her husband, Stephen, who live next door, said they saw people in white jumpsuits going inside the home and noticed that police took an ATV four-wheeler and some other items from outside the home.
The search for the missing child began Thursday evening soon after Jaimee Chamberlain, 21, returned from work to her home at 7340 E. Tomah to find that her son was not there. Chamberlain told police that her boyfriend was watching the 4-year-old and that neither of them were home when she arrived.
Chamberlain began calling her son's name and she and her boyfriend went door to door asking for help in searching for the boy. Neighbors searched their yards and nearby with flashlights Thursday night, said Bambi Scarlott.
Over the next few days, volunteers showed up to search a 10-mile radius around the home where the boy was last seen.
More than 15 law enforcement agencies have joined the search, Cloutier said, bringing police dogs and helicopters with infrared cameras. Ottawa County officials brought SONAR equipment to search waste-water ponds at a treatment nearby the home.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations is assisting tribal police with the investigation.
Many volunteers have come to help as well, Cloutier said, noting that more than 175 people were there Saturday morning, ready to search for hours.
Police ask anyone with information in the case to call 989-775-4700.

As soon as I read on the first post that the boyfriend was watching him, I thought "here we go again".

Police cadaver dogs have joined the search for a 4-year-old boy reported missing last week from a Michigan Indian reservation.
Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe spokesman Frank Cloutier said authorities planned to regroup on Monday after search teams, including the cadaver dogs and FBI agents, scoured a densely wooded area Sunday for Carnell Chamberlain off the reservation near Mount Pleasant.
Cloutier said crews on Sunday also searched ponds at a wastewater treatment plant near the child's home, but nothing significant was found.
The boy is a member of the tribe and was reported missing by his family around 10 p.m. Thursday night. The tribe has said the boy's disappearance was "suspicious."
The tribe has said the boyfriend of the boy's mother initially had not been cooperating with authorities, but was described as "minimally cooperative" Sunday.
The child's mother, 21-year-old Jaimee Chamberlain, said her son was nowhere to be found when she returned home Thursday night from her job at a restaurant at the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, The Morning Sun newspaper reported. It is not clear who, if anyone, was watching the boy at the time of his disappearance.
"I just want him home, I don’t care what happened," she told the newspaper. "My son's not a wanderer ... I always thought I’d have one of those kids you almost need a leash for, but he never went far, he stuck close."
Carnell is described as 3 feet tall, with black hair and green eyes. He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt with an "Angry Bird" logo and blue shorts with green trim.
Anyone with information on the boy's whereabouts is being urged to call the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police Department at 989-775-4700.

This won't be a good outcome I'm afraid. A 4 year old just doesn't get up and take a walk for all these days. Another bf involvement, my god what a red flag.

Post by raine1953 Tue Jun 26, 2012 3:27 pm

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say the search for a 4-year-old boy reported missing from a mid-Michigan Indian reservation is now a criminal investigation.

Carnel Chamberlain disappeared last Thursday while in the care of his mother's boyfriend.

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe spokesman Frank Cloutier says a search warrant to collect physical evidence was executed Monday. He says the warrant was related to the mother's boyfriend, but did not offer further details.

Carnel's mother says her boyfriend was caring for the boy at her home near Mount Pleasant while she was at work. The tribe said the boyfriend initially wasn't cooperative.

Cloutier says tribal police also have secured Carnel's home to preserve any possible evidence.

The tribe says Tuesday's search for Carnel is focused on a wooded area near a wastewater treatment plant.

Post by raine1953 Tue Jun 26, 2012 8:30 pm

A new picture of Carnel Chamberlain with longer hair was released today. Right now, he has a short buzz cut, but it's the best photo investigators have showing his facial features.

Tuesday's search for Carnel centered in and around retention ponds near the reservation where the 4-year-old was last seen.

Search teams started using sonar equipment to comb through those ponds for a second time. This follows Monday's search, which use cadaver dogs in a near by wooded area.

Authorities are acting on a search warrant carried out against the mother's 20-year-old boyfriend, Anthony Bennett.

He was the last person to see Carnel and is considered a person of interest in the disappearance.

Court documents revealed more about the adults in Carnel's life. 6 News checked court records in Isabella County and found an abuse and neglect petition was filed back in February of 2008, just a month after Carnel was born. The documents say his mother, now 21-year-old Jaimie Chamberlain, told a probation officer to take the child because she didn't want him anymore and didn't love him.

She reportedly had a substance abuse problem and admitted to smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol. The documents also show she had a history of running away from home.

Carnel's biological father, Byron Keith Francis, was also named in the abuse and neglect petition. 6 News checked records with the Michigan Department of Corrections and found he's now behind bars serving a 4 to 10 year sentence for felonious assault.

The man taking care of Carnel when he disappeared, Anthony Michael Bennett, served time in prison for trying to assault a police officer and running from police.

He was released a little more than a year ago.

Carnel's mother says she's desperate to find her son. Tribal officials say she spent Tuesday searching a wooded area near her home.

"I just love my son and I want him back. I love his green eyes and his face and his cheeks and I just miss his face. I miss his face and I miss his voice," Chamberlain said.

But Chamberlain doesn't believe she'll ever see her son alive. She says too many days have passed since he disappeared.

Post by raine1953 Tue Jun 26, 2012 8:38 pm

MT PLEASANT, MI - Levi Rickert's reporting on missing 4-year-old Carnal Chamberlain has peaked the interest of his American Indian readers like few other stories.

The little boy disappeared from his home on the Isabella Indian Reservation on Thursday while in the care of his mother’s boyfriend, authorities have said.

Rickert is the news editor of Native News Network, an online website that covers Indian issues and has a nationwide audience of nearly 500,000 readers monthly.
With this story, the Grand Rapids resident has gained access to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian tribe in way that mainstream journalist can’t, he says. He has been invited into the homes of people who live on the tribal lands outside of Saginaw. He talks regularly to boy’s 21-year-old mother, Jamiee Chamberlain, and her relatives.

"They are close-knit community and they are trying to look out for each other,” said Rickert. “The community here has an ongoing sacred fire going in support of the family.”

While some know Rickert from his Native News Network stories, most in the Saginaw Chippewa tribe trust him because they know of his grandfather, Levi White Pigeon, part of the White Pigeon White Pigeon group and member of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation

“That is a very recognized name in Michigan circles and maybe in the Midwest,” Rickert said.

Jaimee Chamberlain, who is the cousin of former tribal chairman Kevin Chamberlain, has been reluctant to talk to the media since she first reported her preschooler missing.

“She told me she felt like the reporters were twisting the story,” Rickert said. “I take it as a point of pride that she trusts me.”

The half-dozen stories he has written so far have focused on staying positive, said Rickert, who has shied away from writing about minor criminal record of the mother's boyfriend, Anthony M. Bennett, 20, who is also a tribal member. Bennett, whom police are describing as a “person of interest”, was initially considered uncooperative because he refused to take a lie detector test.

That approach of staying positive is also reflected in Rickert's readers' comments. There are few critical of the family and most express wishes that the boy remains alive.
“One of the things I like are the comments about the prayers that have gone up,” said Rickert, of the comments on the stories.
The tone of the Rickert's stories and the readers comments is appreciated by the Chamberlain family.

“This article is done very respectfully and with care. it’s appreciated,” wrote Cathy Gryczan-Gryczanoski Chamberlain, who identified herself as Carnie’s aunt, on one of RIckert's stories.
Rickert, whose background is community activism, says he has a different role than traditional media.

“The emphasis should be on finding the little boy and closure,” said Rickert, who says writing about the case has given him sleepless nights. This is the first missing child story Rickert has covered.

Because the land is tribal, the FBI is assisting the tribal police in their investigation. On Tuesday, the search for Carnel was focused on a wooded area near a wastewater treatment plant.

There is a video of the mother at that link. She sounds desperate and very upset.

I wonder, if I were a CPS worker and a mother told me she didn't want or love her son and was abusing alcohol and pot I would probably do as she asked..take him. Now, she seems like she genuinely loves him. CPS had to know that the father was trouble then. And, this so-called bf? Trouble.

Carnel Chamberlain and his mother are members of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe.
Jaimee Chamberlain left her son in the care of her boyfriend, 20-year-old Anthony Bennett, while she worked Thursday.
She said that Bennett has watched her son about five times since the end of May. The two have been dating for about seven months, she said on Wednesday.
Police said that Jaimee Chamberlain was given a polygraph on June 22, but did not release the results.
She said on Wednesday that she had passed the test and a second one that was given. Bennett denied requests to take a polygraph test, police said.
Authorities questioned Bennett on Friday. Police said on Saturday that he was not cooperating in the investigation. They said he has since calmed down and is being "minimally cooperative."
A search warrant was issued on Monday for Bennett, according to tribal spokesperson Frank Cloutier.
Pictures of Carnel Chamberlain are posted throughout the Isabella Federal Reservation.
The search is being conducted as a criminal investigation into the boy's disappearance.
Police said Bennett is a "person of interest" in the case.
More than 15 police agencies from Isabella County, Midland County and other surrounding areas, have participated in the nearly week-long search.
The FBI is assisting the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police. Authorities have used SONAR equipment and cadaver dogs to search ponds and heavily wooded areas near the boy's home.
Carnel Chamberlain stands three feet tall and weighs 37 pounds. He has short dark hair and green eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark colored Angry Birds T-shirt and dark blue or green pants with a green trim.

Anyone who has seen the boy is asked to call the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police at 989-775-4700.

A candlelight gathering in support of Carnel Chamberlain is set for 9 p.m. Thursday at the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Operations Center on East Broadway Road in Chippewa Township.
Everyone is welcome to attend and each person will be given a candle to show support of 4-year-old Carnel, who has been missing for a week from his family’s home on Tomah Road. Luminaries will be placed around the Tribal Operations parking lot to symbolize casting light on the path home. Sky lanterns will be released after a prayer to symbolize the prayers being send for Carnel. Meanwhile, investigators from numerous agencies hare still searching for Carnel, who was last seen at about 9:30 p.m. by his mother’s boyfriend, Anthony M. Bennett. Bennett has been named a person of interest by investigators but has refused to take a polygraph test. Carnel’s mother, Jaimee Chamberlain, has taken and passed two polygraph tests, family spokesman Kevin Chamberlain said. Kevin, a former Saginaw Chippewa Tribal chief and well-known musician, is Jaimee’s cousin and was named spokesman by the family on Wednesday. Kevin said investigators had new questions for Jaimee on Tuesday and that the home on Tomah Road is under lock and key, with nobody living there. On Wednesday, Kevin noted that Bennett was Carnel’s caregiver when he disappeared and his refusal to take a polygraph raised red flags for the family. “There’s no way we can trust him,” Kevin said. Searches of retention ponds near Tomah Road at the Tribe’s wastewater treatment plant have been completed and teams were searching Miller’s Pond off Leaton Road on Wednesday, Tribal Public Relations Manager Marcella Hadden said. Three additional searches in heavy, dense woods, along with tracking dogs and officers on horseback from the Kent County Mounted Patrol, Hadden said. Horseback searches were undertaken in other areas, with horses and riders working Remus Road toward Shepherd Road in open, grassy areas. Tribal Fire Chief Fred Cantu said searchers were on foot in areas near Miller’s Pond going through thickets, brush and trees in an effort to eliminate all possibilities. Ottawa County Sheriff’s divers performed the searches in the retention ponds using remotely operated underwater vehicles, Tribal Spokesman Frank Cloutier said earlier in the week. Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said that team was called in because his dive team does not have that kind of specialized equipment. A command center has been set up at the Tribal Fire Department, offering food and beverages to searchers coming in from the intense heat. Hadden said there are no theories or information on motive and that four investigators from the Bureau of Indian Affairs arrived in Mt. Pleasant Wednesday to assist. There were 67 searchers looking for Carnel Wednesday from a number of law enforcement agencies, including Tribal Police, the Midland County Search and Rescue Team, the Shiawassee County Search and Rescue, a number of emergency response teams, along with tracking dogs and local agencies. Hadden said 38 agencies have been involved in the search, including all five Isabella County police agencies, the Little Traverse Bay Band Conservation, and Genesee County Search and Rescue. Although there is no need currently for volunteers for searches, that could change in the future, and Cloutier said anyone who continues to search on their own is asked to contact Tribal Police if anything suspicious is found.

By Associated Press, Updated: Thursday, June 28, 8:02 PM

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — The body of a 4-year-old boy missing for a week was found buried Thursday at his home, a family spokesman said.

Carnel Chamberlain’s body was found under a wood porch or deck at the home on the reservation of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, 70 miles north of Lansing, Kevin Chamberlain said.

Chamberlain, the tribe’s former chief, said he had no details about what led investigators back to the house after many days of searching woods, ponds and the tribe’s wastewater treatment areas.

The body “had to be in a grave. We had looked underneath before and didn’t see anything,” he said.

Carnel disappeared on June 21 while in the care of his mother’s boyfriend.

“There’s a lot of anger, just utter despair and disbelief. I don’t know how else to define it,” said Chamberlain, who is a cousin of Carnel’s mother, Jaimee Chamberlain. “After a long week of searching and hoping, we’re at a horrific, bitter end.”

Tribal police referred calls to the FBI, which declined to comment on the investigation. Any charges in the case would be handled by federal authorities, who have jurisdiction over major crimes on Indian reservations.

Police have said Jaimee Chamberlain’s boyfriend was not very cooperative during the weeklong search and has consulted a lawyer.

Earlier this week, Jaimee Chamberlain told The Associated Press that her son was missing when she returned home from work on June 21. Her boyfriend told her Carnel wasn’t around.

“I ran inside and looked around. I didn’t know what to do,” said Jaimee Chamberlain, who went to a neighbor’s home to look for Carnel and then called police.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — The body of a 4-year-old boy missing for a week was found buried Thursday at his home, a family spokesman said.

Carnel Chamberlain's body was found under a wood porch or deck at the home on the reservation of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, 70 miles north of Lansing, Kevin Chamberlain said.

The tribe invited the public to a Thursday night vigil to celebrate Carnel's life with singing and the playing of drums. A news conference was planned for Friday.

Earlier this week, Jaimee Chamberlain, 21, told The Associated Press that her son was missing when she returned home from work on June 21. Her boyfriend told her Carnel wasn't around.

Investigators returned to the scene and began ripping siding off the house

Jonathan Seely
FOX 17 Web Producer
4:15 p.m. EDT, June 29, 2012

MT. PLEASANT, Mich—
As the man accused harming 4 year-old Carnel Chamberlain was being arraigned, investigators returned to the Mt. Pleasant home where his body was found, literally tearing it apart.

About 24 hours after the body of 4 year-old Carnel Chamberlain was found at the home on Tomah Rd., the scene was quiet all day with an officer monitoring. Then, investigators swarmed in aggressively looking for more clues.

Around 1:45 p.m. Friday, investigators began ripping siding off the house, searching for more evidence.

“I’ll tell you what. I knew that baby was in there, I knew it, I knew it with a shadow of a doubt," Esther Chatfield, Carnal's Great Aunt told FOX 17.

"Because the way the trainers of those dogs and how those dogs act, they only went to the creek right back to the house."

Chatfield lives right next door, and is very emotional about the tragedy involving her family.

"I don’t understand why the authorities didn’t listen to those dogs, because I tell you what, if I was the authority, I would’ve picked that house up and just dug it."

That’s exactly what authorities did Friday. Family says Carnel’s body was found burned under a porch. Esther says it was porch off the front of the house.

"You can’t quantify how much more that makes it tragic in terms of what the family has to live with," says Kevin Chamberlain, the family's spokesperson, "thought wise, emotion wise."

Anthony Bennett, the boyfriend of Carnel’s mother Jaimee Chamberlain, was watching him when he went missing last Thursday, just over a week ago. Bennett refused to take a polygraph, while Jaimee agreed.

A weeklong search for Carnal's body came to an end Thursday.

Esther knows it’s going to be a long road and will get some help with the healing.

"What I am going to do, I just talked to a lady who knows our medicine man, our spiritual leader, his name is Jack Pine, and once this is all said, we are going to do a ceremony of healing for me at least and my husband."

Esther said it’s going to be extremely hard living next door to this home, and looking out at where Carnel’s body was dug up.

As soon as I heard this little boy was left in the care of his mother's live in boyfriend... my heart sank.
Then on Nancy's show we hear that his mother had actually seen bruise marks on her son's butt, from being spanked by this man.
He hit Carnel hard enough to leave bruises and she remained shacked up with this low life! UNFREAKEN BELIEVABLE!

an abuse and neglect petition was filed back in February of 2008, just a month after Carnel was born. The documents say his mother, now 21-year-old Jaimie Chamberlain, told a probation officer to take the child because she didn't want him anymore and didn't love him.
I bet she rue's the day she allowed that low life murderer in her life.

Maybe not.

Did you watch NG, lisette? It was very evident in her voice and what she had to say she is hurting and extremely upset w/this dude. I know she has a past history of not wanting her darling son but I am not going to judge her. (Not saying you are) I just feel sorry for her and wish she had thrown Bennett out on his ear as soon as she saw the bruises on her son's rear end.

These gals that allow the bf's to move in and/or watch their child are taking a huge risk. And, she knew he was a convicted felon. She said on NG that he could not hold a job and she was the sole provider. I wish her family would have talked her into getting rid of him and it boggles my mind that no one saw the bf burying him right there under the front steps. She said kids were playing next door.

p.s. NG's show tonight was prior to Bennett being arrested.

4 yr old Carnel Chamberlain murdered, buried & burned at his home/BF Anthony Bennett indicted by Federal Grand Jury & charged with 1st degree murder/Mom Jaimee Chamberlain arrested on felony drug charges/Bennett's trial begins 4.23.13 for Carnel's murder Empty Anthony Bennett Charged With Assaulting Carnel Chamberlain Before Boy Found Dead

Post by raine1953 Sat Jun 30, 2012 12:13 pm

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- A 20-year-old man was charged Friday with beating and dragging a 4-year-old just weeks before the child's body was found under the porch of his mother's home in mid-Michigan.

While Anthony Bennett was not charged in the death of Carnel Chamberlain on Friday, family members say he was the last person to see Carnel before his disappearance June 21. A weeklong, seemingly fruitless search of woods and ponds around the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe reservation ended at the child's home Thursday.

Bennett faces a charge of assault resulting in substantial bodily injury to a child under 16, and was sent back to jail after the brief hearing in federal court in Bay City to await a detention hearing Tuesday.

Federal prosecutors, who handle major crimes on Indian reservations, do not want him released on bond, but would not comment when asked if Bennett was being charged with assault as a way of holding him until a more serious charge is brought.

The boy's mother, 21-year-old Jaimee Chamberlain, has said Bennett was in charge of watching Carnel while she was at work. When she returned, the boy was gone.

Kevin Chamberlain – Jaimee's cousin, a family spokesman and the tribe's former chief – said Bennett had been in his cousin's life for about seven months. He said the family believed Bennett had a "troubled past" and that he came off as "a kind of wannabe thug."

"We have no choice but to believe he had something to do with it," Kevin Chamberlain said of Carnel's death. "All eyes and arrows point right to him."

According to the two-page criminal complaint, Jaimee Chamberlain told the FBI that she saw her son with a bruised and swollen face as well as a cut lip in late May or early June. She said he had been struck by Bennett when she was away from the home.

A few days later, she saw Bennett pick up her son by the neck and drop him before dragging him into a room by his foot, according to the court document.



It wasn't known why Jaimee Chamberlain allowed her son to be in her boyfriend's company if she believed he was abusing the boy. She answered her phone when contacted by The Associated Press but hung up without commenting.

Bennett did not appear with a lawyer Friday, but Detroit attorney Anthony Chambers later was assigned to the case. Chambers declined to comment, saying he hadn't talked to Bennett and wasn't familiar yet with the evidence.

Authorities declined to comment outside the courtroom, which was full of people supporting Carnel and his mother.

"I'm here for Carnel. I am Carnel," grandmother Joann Chamberlain said.

A tribal police car sat outside the family's house, not far from the headquarters of the Saginaw Chippewa tribe and the tribe's financial lifeblood, the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort.

People were leaving flowers and items of remembrance for the little boy at the home. At midday, a man got out of a vehicle and placed a stuffed animal on the fence before hopping back in and driving away.

"Nothing this monumentally horrific has ever happened in our community," Kevin Chamberlain said. "Right now, it's a very somber place with a lot of broken hearts."

Carnel's great-aunt, Esther Chatfield, 58, lives next door to the home. She said she and her husband became Jaimee Chamberlain's foster parents when Chamberlain was 8 years old.

"My husband and I are just destroyed by this," Chatfield said.

I'm wondering if the great-aunt was an 'official' foster parent appointed by the court and if so why and for how long or is she just using the term foster loosely.

Statement analysis had something on the interview he believes the mother witnessed abuse and let it go because the boyfriend "loved her". WHY hasnt he been charged with murder? What is wrong with the police in this country - they find he burned abused body of a child at this own home and still they havent brought first degree murder charges against him? The bathroom according to the mother was full of water the carpet soaked and blood found there. I dont understand the charges here. They know he killed this child and they have the evidence - whats holding up the charge of murder?

MOUNT PLEASANT, MI — A spokesman said members of Carnel Chamberlain's family are supportive of his mother, Jaimee Chamberlain, though upset about events that happened before the 4-year-old’s death.
“We certainly can’t condone the actions of either adults in this situation,” Kevin Chamberlain said. “You just can’t condone it. Does the family believe that (Jaimee) wants her child dead? No.”
Jaimee Chamberlain revealed to investigators that she witnessed her now ex-boyfriend, Anthony Bennett, abuse her son, Carnel Chamberlain, weeks before the 4-year-old went missing, according to the FBI.
“Was she at fault? Certainly," Kevin Chamberlain said. "We’re not going to sit here and try to defend her.”
She told investigators about bruises on Carnel’s body and Bennett told her he had backhanded the child, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court Friday charging Anthony Bennett with abuse of the child.
Bennett is expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Bay City at 3 p.m. Tuesday for a detention hearing.
"We're certainly glad that those charges are being brought," Kevin Chamberlain said, adding he hopes more serious charges will come in the future.
Carnel's aunt, Cheryl Chamberlain, said Bennett was "quite unemotional" on the night Carnel was reported missing, adding, "If I knew then what I know now, I would have grilled him that night."
Jaimee Chamberlain mentioned the abuse Friday on CNN, but has avoided questions from other media, sending all questions to family spokesman Kevin Chamberlain.
“She put it out there. It is what it is,” Kevin Chamberlain said. “As family we’ll be the last ones to bash her, but when you put stuff out there you have to deal with the ramifications.”
After a lot of thinking and praying, Kevin Chamberlain said he and several others in the family are focusing their efforts on honoring Carnel Chamberlain’s life by planning to create a fund and bringing attention to domestic violence.
“It’s a touchy situation but to honor the child’s life is more important for us now,” Kevin Chamberlain said.
Much of the family spent the weekend relaxing after "eight or nine days of insanity," Kevin Chamberlain said.
"It was actually nice to not do anything,"he said.
The family has received no information from the FBI, though Kevin Chamberlain said he understands they are performing a thorough investigation.
He hopes to hear from law enforcement officials about when the family can have a funeral, Kevin Chamberlain said, noting police have not given the family much information beyond confirming the child was dead Thursday.
“Our main focus is to get there (to have a funeral) and get that closure,” Chamberlain said. He hopes to know more about funeral arrangements some time this week.

I think many of us and the family spokesperson agree the Mother is far from innocent in this case.

4 yr old Carnel Chamberlain murdered, buried & burned at his home/BF Anthony Bennett indicted by Federal Grand Jury & charged with 1st degree murder/Mom Jaimee Chamberlain arrested on felony drug charges/Bennett's trial begins 4.23.13 for Carnel's murder Empty Bennett has troubled past

Anthony Bennett’s troubled childhood includes removal from his parents’ home, termination of his parents’ rights, abuse and aggression.
Bennett, who is in the Bay County Jail on a charge of child abuse against Carnel Chamberlain, faces a preliminary hearing in Judge Magistrate Charles Binder’s court at 10 a.m. Friday. Bennett, 20, currently is accused in U.S.. District Court of abuse against Carnel, whose burned body was found at his mother’s home in Chippewa Township June 28. Bennett is expected to face more charges involving the boy’s death. Bennett’s childhood is steeped with trauma, including unsuccessful efforts to unify his family in 2006, according to Isabella County Trial Court records. Bennett’s mother took parenting classes but did not gain skills, according to court records. Bennett was exhibiting “concerning sexualized/perpetrating behaviors” and had profound emotional disturbances, according to court records. Bennett’s father failed twice to show up for scheduled psychological evaluations and showed “little interest” in his children, according to court records. He also had severe substance abuse issues and a criminal history that included drunken driving, assault and drug use, according to court records. Bennett spent time at a secure detention facility in Midland for assaulting a child and stabbing his sister, according to testimony from the Department of Human Services in probate court. He also threatened a teacher, resulting in his school being on lock down, according to court records. At the age of 14, Bennett had conductive disorder, mood disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder and was diagnosed as bipolar, according to court records. At the same time, he was deemed to be at a first or second grade level. Before he turned 18, Bennett was also convicted in Isabella County Trial Court with larceny, and had been placed in in-home detention, the Muskegon River Youth Home and to the non-secure detention facility in Isabella County, according to court records. During a hearing in Bay City last week, Bennett was denied release on bond, in part based on his adult criminal history and other factors. Bennett admitted to abusing alcohol and marijuana in the past and was ordered last year to attend mental health treatment at the Tribal behavioral health facility, according to records in U.S. District Court in Bay City. Bennett said he has been using marijuana for three years and as recently as in May, which violated his terms of probation. That resulted in a 15-day jail sentence, according to court records. Bennett was convicted of assault and battery in May 2009 and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and one year of probation, according to court records. Less than a month after his release, he was charged and pleaded to malicious destruction of property, and was sentenced to 30 months in jail and 15 months’ probation. Bennett violation probation again in May 2010, which resulted in his Holmes Youthful Trainee Act status being revoked, according to federal court records. Holmes Youthful Trainee is a diversion program for offenders 17 to 20 that can erase convictions if conditions are met. After that, Bennett’s probation was revoked and he was ordered to spend 93 days in jail. Bennett was also convicted of family violence in March 2010 at 18, and was released on bond prior to that conviction; he was charged with a series of traffic offenses and pleaded guilty. That violation caused his bond to be forfeited, according to federal court records. Later the same year, Bennett tested positive for alcohol, a probation violation; and was charged in October 2010 with more traffic offenses, including felony resisting and obstructing police, according to the order of detention filed earlier this week in federal court. Other convictions on Bennett’s adult record include violence to a police officer, disorderly conduct, resisting police, possession of narcotics, another violence against a police officer, malicious mischief, probation violations, and testing positive for synthetic marijuana, according to the order of detention.

Wow, that guy never had a chance. In NO way does his horrible childhood excuse a thing he's done but it sure looks like the writing was on the wall, something real bad was going to done by him and poor little Carnel was that something. I think that Carnel's Mother needs to be charged with something too, she had at least some knowledge of his past and has since admitted to knowing that Bennett had abused her son.
