SUMMARY: The Mississippi Sound Coalition is raising awareness about pollutants flowing down the Mississippi River, exacerbated by flooding. Their campaign, dubbed “Farm to Trouble,” highlights the adverse effects of agricultural runoff, which harms the Mississippi Sound's marine ecosystem. The opening of the Bonnet Carré Spillway in Louisiana in recent years allowed freshwater and pollutants to intrude into the Mississippi Sound, causing significant environmental damage. Despite federal and state efforts, the problem persists, with pollutants constantly flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, contributing to a growing hypoxic zone. The Coalition emphasizes the urgency of addressing this pollution through a public awareness series.

“Farm to Trouble” is a five-part collaborative with investigative reporting.

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.
