SUMMARY: In Bay St. Louis, the Kelly family continues a nearly four-decade-long Thanksgiving tradition of giving. Julie Massengill expresses that this service fulfills a drive to help others. Each Thanksgiving, Julie, along with her family and volunteers like Vietnam veteran Samuel McArthur, serves up to 1,000 free meals at the Bay St. Louis Community Hall in the Depot District. This year marks the first Thanksgiving since the passing of the matriarch, Sally Kelly, who began the tradition. Inspired by her example, her family plans to sustain the Kelly Family Free Thanksgiving Dinner, uniting the community without concern for social or financial status. Information about volunteering or donations can be found on WLOX.com.

In Bay St. Louis, a family tradition of giving continues almost four decades after it first started.

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.
