Bodies of man, woman found in Port Huron

(MELISSA & HER DAUGHTER ATTENDED DREAMCATCHERS 2013 MACA MARCH IN APRIL)

UPDATE: CAR WASH FUNDRAISER to benefit the children of Melissa and Danny

Thank you, Sierra Kearns, Dreamcatchers Sierra Sullivan! Dreamcatchers for Abused Children is hoping to be able to help the children whose parents were viciously murdered in Port Huron, MI last week. Officials said Melissa Ichenberg, 26, died after being strangled, and Danny McRoberts, 29, died of multiple stab wounds. Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering and donating to the childrens’ trust fund. The family has formed the Melissa Amellio Ichenberg Memorial Fund through Talmer Bank and Trust for Ichenberg’s daughters. Donations can be made at any bank branch.

A 31-yo suspect has been arrested and was arraigned today (Tuesday). Anyone with information about the double slaying should contact the Port Huron police CAPTURE hotline at (810) 987-6688.
**UPDATE**
ATTENTION FRIENDS!! We at Dreamcatchers for Abused Children would like to try to do something to help the children of Melissa Ichenberg (Amellio) and Daniel McRoberts. Melissa was active in our cause, and we would love to do anything that we can do to help the families in this heartbreaking time. As many of you know we are a non-profit, and unfortunately can not just write a big check, but we do have enough to pay for supplies for a car wash. We are looking for as many volunteers as possible to make this carwash as big of a success as we possibly can, and then give 100% of the proceeds of the event to the families. Please *SHARE* this status so we can bring as many people together as we possibly can in this short of a time period! Anyone who is interested in volunteering or who has any connections that maybe helpful to us (radio, etc.) please message me!

**We have booked the Arby’s (North end) parking lot for all day Sunday August 18th**

Please re-share!!

Port Huron police are working to solve the deaths of two young parents. The bodies of 26-year-old Melissa Ichenberg and 29-year-old Daniel McRoberts were discovered around 7:30 Tuesday evening in an apartment on Riverview Street. Friends say McRoberts had recently moved in with her when he became homeless. Ichenberg’s six-year-old daughter was apparently in the house when the killings occurred, but was not aware of what happened. Neighbors say she was playing in the neighborhood, and asking for food earlier Tuesday. She said she thought her mother was sleeping. Finally, a neighbor checked inside the apartment and made the discovery.  READ MORE HERE
