SUMMARY: Mississippi is investing millions to expand high-speed internet access, but corrective action is needed as some areas marked as having quality service actually experience slow internet.

SUMMARY: Bricen Rivers has pleaded not guilty to capital murder, vehicle theft, and tampering with evidence related to the death of his ex-girlfriend, Lauren Johansen, whose body was found in a car trunk in Mississippi. Rivers fled the scene before his capture during a manhunt. The murder is believed to have occurred in Forrest County, and the case was transferred there. Rivers had previously been imprisoned for beating and kidnapping Johansen but was out on bond due to an administrative mistake. Johansen’s father, Lance, is advocating for “Lauren’s Law” to prevent bond eligibility for violent offenders. Rivers’ trial is set for June 25, 2025.
