SUMMARY: A forensic anthropologist at Mississippi State University is focused on solving cold cases across the state. Dr. Jesse Goliath, inspired by a call about the Felicia Cox case, created a database called “Missing-In-Mississippi” to catalog missing persons and crime information statewide. The initiative aims to address the disproportionate number of minorities in cold cases. The project provides a platform for the public to access case information and share tips anonymously, aiding in bringing justice to families and highlighting active cases with significant public interest. One particular case that haunts Investigator Don Hopkins involves the tragic death of a child right before Christmas. The public can find the database at the Mississippi State University website and contribute any helpful information.

SUMMARY: The Stewpot Opportunity Center in Jackson is responding to dangerously cold temperatures by extending its hours to 22 per day and providing shelter for up to 30 people. The center ensures guests receive food, clothing, hygiene items, hot meals, showers, and rest, with activities like movies to help them stay comfortable. Director Javonda Stanton emphasizes that it is inhumane for people to be left outside in the cold, which can lead to conditions like hypothermia and frostbite. The city is also reopening a temporary shelter at Champion Gym in partnership with Shower Power for those in need.
