SUMMARY: Scraping the Coast 2024 concluded in South Mississippi, featuring over 1,500 vehicles. Despite economic concerns impacting attendance, organizer Eric Kendrick remains optimistic, anticipating growth with new attractions next year. A new state law banning squatted trucks with lifts over four inches from July 1 may affect future participation, though private property rules at the Coast Coliseum may allow such vehicles. Attendees like Naomi Aresty from Texas appreciate the event's community spirit, likening it to a large family picnic. Aresty, whose family business participates in various events, emphasized their enduring love for Scraping the Coast and plans to return annually.

After a weekend of low-rider cars and jacked-up trucks, Scrapin' the Coast 2024 is officially over.

SUMMARY: In Nashville, a woman expressed her fear in court that her abuser would kill her if released. Despite multiple violent incidents, he was released without informing her or placing a GPS monitor on him. Shortly after, he went missing, prompting the woman's father, Lance, to warn her. Lauren, the victim, stopped responding to messages, and her Life 360 tracker was turned off. Her body was later found brutally beaten in her car at a cemetery. Lance condemned the criminal justice system for its failures. The abuser, Rivers, has a criminal history and is currently in jail on a $1 million bond.

Thursday, Lauren Johansen's mutilated body was discovered in the back seat of her car in Harrison County.
