Mother & Daugher Arrested in Murder for Hire

Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.


On October 22nd, 2018, at approximately 4:00 p.m., Rankin County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a mother and daughter at 323 Midway Drive Florence, MS, for the charge of Conspiracy to Commit Murder.

On October 15, 2018, the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by Chief Detective Jerry Martin of the Walthall County Sheriff’s Office. Detective Martin provided information about individuals from Rankin County inquiring about hiring a “hitman.”

Walthall and Rankin County Deputies along with Agents of the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations identified the suspects as Tanja R. PEAVY and Lauren A. PEAVY of Rankin County. The target was identified as a relative of the mother and daughter.

An undercover Rankin County Deputy posed as a contract killer/”hitman” and made contact with the suspects. The suspects offered to pay $500.00 to have their target “taken out.”

Tanja R. PEAVY and Lauren A. PEAVY were taken into custody at their residence on Midway Drive without incident.


Sheriff Bryan Bailey thanks all the agencies involved in the investigation including, District Attorney Michael Guest and Staff, Walthall County Sheriff’s Office, Mississippi Bureau of Investigations, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst and Staff, the US Marshals Taskforce and the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

Corroboration between law enforcement agencies in cases like this makes our communities safer.

Tanja R. PEAVY and Lauren A. PEAVY will have an initial appearance before Rankin County Court Judge Kent McDaniel.

If you put one finger over the forehead/hair, another finger over the chin/mouth, turn your head slightly to the right, you can almost see the feminine aspects...aww hell, no you can’t. I was just trying to be nice.

I think the sheriff made a mistake in identifying the mothers gender...

These two Niknar specimens are the type who most commonly share their opinions on the crime rate in the Belhaven and Fondren. Typically making such bold statements such as "Jackson is lost" from their roach infested delapidated trailer park next to a junkyard in Florence.

Rankin County is lost.

The niknar people you describe are safer in their trailer parks than the common man is on West street in West Fondren I promise.

This is misleading headline KF? Why would they arrest the husband if he was the one they were trying to kill?

So hot!

Related to the Peavey electronics and music company in meridian? Yes, I know it's spelled differently...

No, no, no! This is 2018! It's not a "hitman," it's a "hitperson."

As Aerosmith would say said...

Da da, da da Dude looks like a lady

Justice for Tanja said...

She makes Janet Reno look sexy. I'd still give it to her though if alone on a deserted island.

Ummmm... I feel safe in saying these two Rankin residents have never commented anywhere about Belhaven or Fondren. First, because they have never heard of Belhaven or Fondren, and second because they have likely never heard of the internet. They may be from the part of South Rankin county that hasn’t heard of indoor plumbing yet.

$500.00 just to murder someone? I’m in the wrong business.

10:17 Before you blast Rankin remember our executive branch of the whole damn state has to come from somewhere...

That family tree may be a little short on branches.

(Posting for a friend from The Fondren, who previously lived in The Belhaven).

I looked up the address on Google Earth. It really is literally a delapidated trailer park next to a junkyard! You can't get more Rankin County than that! I bet they wear T-Shirts labeled "Van's Deer Processing" as fancy dress! Them Van's shirts ain't cheap!

I bet they have "Salt Life" and "Yeti" stickers on their trucks, and have banjos and sheet music for "dueling banjos."

Squeel like a pig, Rufus!

The line under the photo says '48 YOA Female'. Doesn't that mean 48 year old alternative female? Or is it 'alleged female'. I forget my PO-leece nomenclature. 10-4 is the only one I remember real good.

5:24, I believe it stands for “Years of Age”. They both have that abbreviation.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
