‘Shame on you’: Hannah Neville’s friend sends message to multiple murder suspects now in custody

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A close friend of Hannah Neville spoke out following Lincoln Police’s update to a triple homicide investigation on Wednesday morning.

Police’s announcement revealed four additional suspects have been arrested in connection with Neville and Roberto Tanner’s deaths, along with their unborn child.

Neville’s friend, Destiny DeWitt shared a message for the suspects with Channel 8.

“Shame on you. The fact that you would help at all with something like that, you have to be, you are a different type of evil,” said DeWitt. “I’m sorry that your life ended up being like that, and I hope that at least for the rest of it, you can be a better person for what you have left.”

DeWitt also describes the heartbreak the heartbreak of losing a friend so suddenly.

“Everybody’s absolutely heartbroken. You don’t expect these things to happen to you and when they do, they literally rip your heart out of your chest and almost impairs you,” said DeWitt.

DeWitt met Neville through a mutual friend a few years ago and says she could tell right away what type of person Hannah was.

“She was bubbly, happy. She was caring,” she said. “Every time she came over, she was so intent with my children because she was so meant to be a mom.Her aura was just phenomenal. You always felt happy when you were with her.”

DeWitt remembers the final days and weeks before her friend’s disappearance, emphasizing the pure anticipation Neville had for motherhood.

“She worked almost her entire pregnancy. She was so dedicated to this baby already that she wanted to make sure that she had everything and beyond for it that she worked and got her things that she needed,” she said.

The pregnancy would have been Neville’s first child.

“That’s why it’s so devastating because she was so excited and so ready, so deserving,” said DeWitt.
