How do they know she died from a gunshot wound if her body has not been found? How do they know she is dead if her body has not been found?

That's some super-duper detective work. They have determined that she died of at least one gunshot wound without a body. Bravo!

Did he confess?

R.I.P. Hopefully 'the other woman' will rat him out.

How did Tyree determine a cause of death with no body yet to be examined? Is he the Coroner now to say such publicly?

Tyree is so brilliant that he can solves cases without evidence. I am not saying this is not true, but if you believe this, don’t move to Madison county like most of us have done. Also, if you have children, they can get a good education in south Madison county.

Here either confessed and/or there is a cooperating witness.

I guess the people that knew this sterling character realize that he snapped. Maybe he can rehabilitate for 30 years in north Sunflower county for the next 30 years at the states expense.

This area is isolated and a good place for a body to disappear. This area is between Edwards and Bovina.

Obviously, he has a full confession. Some of y’all…jeez.

Both the shooter and the victim’s iPhones were connected to the same cell tower and the built-in 5 eyes PRISM surveillance recorded the single gunshot on both iPhones. It’s called parallel reconstruction. Clearly the either the Feds or Apple are providing the assist.

Did none of you people read the Edward Snowden leak?

"Both the shooter (sic) and the victim’s iPhones were connected to the same cell tower and the built-in 5 eyes PRISM surveillance recorded the single gunshot on both iPhones."

Did it also record the bullet impact and terminal ballistics, perform an autopsy and determine a cause of death, and then throw the alleged body in the river? Or could there instead just be a bullet hole in a speed limit sign?

If you follow me around with that nonsense you will hear shots most every day, but no human bodies with bullet holes in them.

How is it "between" the Hinds and Warren County lines? That's one line, infinitely narrow by definition.

@11:32 - Appreciate your geographical and survey knowledge, but if you were able to stand on that line at lunch time today, in which county would you eat your sandwich?

I enjoyed above logic surgeons' incisive comments on super smart smart-phones and the width of a line. Who here will draw on quantum mechanics for clues?

Hear the one about two boys crossing a bridge? As they stopped side by side to pee into the river, one said: "Man that water's cold", the other responded: "Yeah and deep, too".

@6:39 I know you’re being sarcastic but laughed so hard at the first part about Tyree being brilliant. I really needed that laugh after the day I’ve had.

@11:21
But would your victim's iPhone also record the same shot with the same timestamp? Then, if you are still alive and they have disappeared, you might be the killer!

There sure are an awful lot of greenteeth rednecks chiming in with their low IQ opinions. I assume you are all Executive Directors of state agencies and possibly even senior legislators. It would explain why this state is in such a miserable state. But I bet you could all tell us all some excellent deer camp anecdotes!

Tough Crowd here. The husband was hiding out while his wife's vehicle is torched is the first clue. I bet there is a shell casing and a hole somewhere in the vehicle. Even though it's Hinds County, I bet they have pretty concrete evidence. I also bet they don't care the JJ sleuths aren't satisfied by said evidence.

He confessed to shooting her. Bravo to comment 8:29!

How does the 'speedy trial' theory work in Mississippi when it takes a year to accomplish an autopsy?

For his next trick ladies and gentlemen,
he will build a castle from a single grain of sand.....
OR maybe make a ship sail on dry land.

I'm no expert but I've watched enough Law and Order to know that a human body only contains so much blood (around 1.5 gal) and a heart will no longer function if you lose half of that.

Hypothetically speaking, if a woman is missing and you find her car with more than a gallon of blood soaked into the driver's seat, and a bullet or two with tissue on them that are lodged in the upholstery, one could reasonably assume the owner died of one or more gunshot wounds even without seeing the body.

Hypothetically speaking, who on the Hinds S.O. force is qualified to gauge 'more than a gallon of blood' and determine 'tissue' on bullet fragments and correspondingly identify a specific person based on that (hypothetical) evidence?

It takes three days, five in cold weather, for a body to bloat and float in relatively still waters.

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.
