Skeletal remains found in Rankin County pond sent to crime lab
SUMMARY: Forensic investigators found mostly bones in a pond in Flowood, providing enough evidence to identify the person and determine how they died. DNA samples will be used to cross-reference with databases like NAMUS to find a match. The state DNA lab will carefully examine the evidence and compare it with samples from missing persons. The body was badly decomposed, making identification challenging. Family members of missing persons may be asked for reference samples to confirm identities. Investigators are seeking information from the public to help narrow down the timeline of events. The investigation may take weeks or months to complete.

Big sinkhole opens up on Paden Street
SUMMARY: A sinkhole on Paden Street in Madeleine, Nolan describes the significant size of the hole and the terrible smell near the collapsed sewer line. Nearby residents are affected by the hole, as it causes flooding in their yards when it rains and poses a danger to drivers. Residents believe that if the sinkhole were in a different neighborhood, it would have been addressed more quickly. Despite the city's awareness of the hole, residents are asking for help as it continues to grow. Cones placed around the hole have fallen in, and JXN Water, which has taken over Jackson's sewer system, is also aware of the issue.
