I won't even pretend to think I know what DG and her family are going through. The senselessness of it all is overwhelming. I am waiting to hear the arrangements for the memorial fund.

I have not been on GC for months and have just seen this post! I am so saddened, shocked and just sickened by this. My heart and prayers go out for Nailah, that she is resting in peace, for you, Soror DG and for the family and friends. I cannot even begin to imagine what you all must be going through at this time. I am keeping all of you in my prayers that G-D will bring you through this and that justice will be done, and soon. I will make a contribution to the fund in Nailah's honor. I just don't even have words to describe. I'm so sorry Soror DG.

Summerchild

here is the latest on Nailah Franklin, sister of Soror Discogoddess:

By Angela Rozas and Kayce Ataiyero | Chicago Tribune staff reporters
11:44 PM CST, December 7, 2007

A Chicago man who once dated Nailah Franklin, the pharmaceutical representative whose disappearance and slaying stirred the city this fall, was charged Friday with her murder, a spokesman for the Cook County state's attorney's office said.

Reginald Potts Jr., 30, has been in Cook County Jail since last month, serving a 100-day sentence he received after pleading guilty to violating an order of protection. While in jail, he was charged with aggravated battery for striking a sheriff's deputy and was ordered held without bail for that charge.

Police sources said Potts was a suspect since the beginning of the Franklin case. He briefly dated Franklin, 28, and the two had a heated e-mail exchange the week before she was reported missing Sept. 19. Franklin reported Potts to police, but did not file an order of protection against him.

The search for Nailah Franklin Photos
Franklin was found naked in a densely wooded area in Calumet City on Sept. 27 after being missing for a week. Widespread searches eventually turned up her car, and later her body.

Franklin's sisters had taken the woman's case to the streets and the airwaves, establishing a $10,000 reward and distributing fliers featuring a smiling Franklin. Friends and family talked of Franklin's star-like quality, and her outgoing nature.

She was reported missing Sept. 19, a day after family and a boss tried to call her on her cell, but instead received unusual text messages on her phone saying she was having dinner and would call them back.

Potts is scheduled for a bond hearing Monday on the murder charge.

i'm hoping the arrest and conviction of this suspect will help bring some closure to the family.

I'm so glad they arrested him. He was proclaiming his innocence so much all over the internet and to any media outlet that would hearhim
