Secret Burial: Family Unaware as Another Man is Killed and Buried in Jackson, Mississippi

In Jackson, Mississippi, another man, Marrio Terrell Moore, was buried without his family's knowledge after being killed on February 2. His body had been left unclaimed in the Hinds County morgue for months before being buried in a pauper's field by inmates at the county penal farm. This case, along with the burial of Dexter Wade, highlights failures in the system designed to notify families of their loved ones' deaths and give them the opportunity to claim the bodies. Authorities claim to have made attempts to contact Marrio's family, but they deny receiving any notifications. The family is devastated and demands answers from the Jackson Police Department and Hinds County coroner's office.
