SUMMARY: Last year, a tragic accident claimed the life of a mother and injured her three children when they were hit by a train after a July 4th celebration at Jones Park. To honor her legacy, family and friends are hosting a blood drive. Jessica Beard, an Account Manager for Vitalent, explains that the blood drive aids hospitals in the Southeast. All three children survived but needed blood transfusions. The event, called “Anette Win: A Mother's Love,” takes place tomorrow from 1 to 7 PM at Empowerment Ministries in Gulfport, Mississippi. The drive is vital for saving lives, as blood donations are constantly needed.

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.
