SUMMARY: Dau Mabil, a Sudanese Civil War refugee, went missing in Mississippi, leading to a blame game between the Capitol Police and Jackson Police Department on the stalled investigation. His body was found by fishermen in a river, but the circumstances leading to his death remain unclear. The two police agencies were criticized for not cooperating in the search efforts, despite recent joint crime-curbing initiatives. A legal dispute arose between Mabil's widow and her brother-in-law over the handling of his autopsy. The police agencies are still investigating the case, with a court awaiting further information before considering an independent autopsy.
