AUBURN, Ala. (WIAT) — A man accused of abducting and murdering a 19-year-old college student will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
On Thursday, Judge Tom Young handed down a life sentence to Ibraheem Yazeed for the killing of Aniah Blanchard. Blanchard’s remains were discovered in a wooded area near Shorter on November 25, 2019.
