Third Man in Mississippi Buried in Pauper’s Grave Without Family Knowledge
A third man has been buried in a pauper’s grave in Hinds County, Mississippi, without his family’s knowledge. This is the latest in a series of incidents where the Jackson police have failed to inform families about the deaths of their loved ones.
The man, whose identity has not been revealed, was buried in a pauper’s grave in July 2023. His family only found out about his death when they were contacted by NBC News. The man’s mother, Gretchen Hankins, said that it was a year and seven months before she learned what had happened to her missing son.
This incident follows the discovery of two other men who were buried in pauper’s graves without their families’ knowledge. The first man, Jonathan David Hankins, was found dead in May 2022. His mother was not informed of his death until NBC News discovered that he had been buried in a pauper’s field. The second man, Mario Terrell Moore, was beaten to death in February 2023. His family did not find out about his death until October 2023.
The Jackson police have been criticized for their handling of these cases. An NBC investigation revealed that the police had failed to inform families about dozens of homicides this year. The police have blamed a communication failure for the botched investigations.
This latest incident has raised concerns about the transparency and accountability of the Jackson police. Families have a right to know what has happened to their loved ones, and the police have a duty to inform them. The Jackson police must take steps to ensure that this does not happen again.
