A Black woman in Mississippi reported her son missing and went 7 months with police telling her they couldn’t find him.
She sent them photos, begged for updates, and implored them to put his story on the news.
It turns out they knew where he was all along. An hour after he left his house he was struck and killed on the highway by an off duty police officer.
They hid his body in the morgue for months without ever notifying his family despite there being a prescription bottle with his name on it found at the scene.
Then they buried him in a pauper’s field with nothing but a number identifying him as corpse # “672”.

"Nearly seven months after the army seized power, Myanmar’s security forces have killed more than 1,000 people in a bid to crush resistance." @walone4 https://t.co/ix9CguuoCN
Check out @walone4's discussion on his 2017 investigation for @Reuters, what it’s like to be a journalist in Myanmar, and how he finds time to write children’s stories as well as investigative journalism. https://t.co/3sC3iATeoJ
Having the kind of reporting day where I sob in the car between interviews. Education is supposed to lift kids up, but for so many, school IS the barrier/trauma.
Myanmar protesters arranged to return phones, shoes and other personal belongings to the people who left on the street after the deadliest police crackdown ruined peaceful protests in Yangon, Myanmar. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
