We, the members of Unit 1012, will honour and
remember 19-year-old Aniah Blanchard on June 22 and October 23 every year.
We will not forget her. Let us remember how she
lived and not how she died. We will always support her family members. This
year we will have a 20th birthday remembrance for her.

Aniah Blanchard Remembered for Smiles,
Laughter and Encouragement
Andrew Yeager | December 21, 2019
Blue ribbons. Blue flowers. Blue balloons. All part
of the tribute to Aniah Blanchard, a 19-year-old college student who was
abducted and killed this fall. Family and friends gathered for her funeral
Saturday at the Faith Chapel Christian Center in Birmingham.
Speakers noted her favorite color, which was baby
blue, her smile, her laughter and her encouragement to others. They read
passages from the Bible and spoke of her Christian faith.
“Aniah has this light, this energy, this
vibe about her that’s beautiful,” Blanchard’s cousin Hannah Haley said. “It was
contagious and she shared that light everywhere she went.”
Blanchard was a Homewood native and the
step-daughter of UFC heavyweight Walt Harris. She attended Southern Union
Community College and was last seen October 23rd at a convenience store in
Auburn. Her vehicle was later found in Montgomery. Authorities found her remains in November in a wooded area of Macon
County. Three people were arrested in connection with her abduction and death,
although charges against one have been dropped.
Blanchard’s mother, Angela Harris, fought back
tears as she described Blanchard as her “mini-me.” The two shared a birthday.
“There is nothing, not one thing bad to
say about her,” Harris
said. “She was the glue to our family. She held us all
together.”
Blanchard played softball at Homewood High School.
Former coach Ami Letson said Blanchard cared for her teammates and wanted
to keep them smiling. Letson recalled a time when, after defeating another
school’s team, Blanchard went to the opposing players to encourage them.
“This was who Aniah was. She wanted everyone
to feel important, to feel needed and to feel loved,” Letson said.
Homewood City Schools Superintendent Bill Cleveland
announced a college scholarship will be created in memory of Blanchard. The
City of Homewood issued a proclamation declaring Saturday “Aniah Blanchard
Day.”
The family expressed thanks to those who provided
support since Blanchard’s disappearance, including churches, public officials,
law enforcement and groups that aided in the search. Harris told the
audience she now has new mission in life.
“I’ll keep fighting forever for Aniah,
for justice for Aniah, to do anything I can to help this world be a better
place and everybody be safe and protected,” Harris said. “I know
that’s what Aniah would want.”

The death
of Aniah Blanchard occurred in the fall of 2019. Blanchard, the 19-year-old
stepdaughter of Ultimate Fighting Championship
fighter Walt Harris, was reported missing on October
24. She had last been seen at a Chevron Gas Station in Auburn,
Alabama the previous night. A witness from the gas station claims to have seen
Blanchard being kidnapped. Blanchard's body was found in Macon County, Alabama one month after her
disappearance. The cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound. A
suspect, identified as Ibraheem Yazeed, was arrested and charged
with Blanchard's murder.
As of July 2020, Yazeed is being held in Lee County Jail without bond. A judge
has decided that there is probable cause for a Grand Jury to hear the case. Prosecutors
are seeking the death penalty.
Blanchard's
death attracted national attention and media coverage and led to the creation
of "Aniah's Law" which reforms Alabama's bail system.
