“When he says I will start your house on fire and kill you when you come out, that’s a serious threat to me!” she wrote to her father again.
“He threatened to set the house on fire, rape me and kill us.”
Nonetheless, even though authorities have questioned Bryan and placed him under a lie detector test, he has never been formally named a suspect.
Moreover, Nanette’s case has remained without justice for just over five years now. Her friends and family members have created a Facebook page entitled Justice for Nanette, where they have described their frustration with “tight-lipped” investigators.
“We have started this page to keep her name at the top of mind and to keep pressure on investigators who have been tight-lipped about the cause and manner of her violent death,” the page reads. “We just hope someone who knows something will come out and say it,” said Lori Rando, Nanette’s best friend, last month in an interview with WDSU.
If you have any information regarding Nanette’s case, you are urged to contact the City of New Orleans Crime Stoppers at (877) 903-7867. There is currently a ten thousand dollar reward for anyone with information that leads to an arrest and conviction.
