MS - Rasheem Carter, 25, called mom said life in danger, Smith County, scattered remains found in 2022 and 2023

If anyone could find me a copy/abridged results from the independent autopsy report I would be eternally grateful. It is getting mentioned all over MSM without actual details of the report.

Honestly, my first impression while reading this case was that it was a psychotic/manic break. It might just be my medical background, but at first it really sounds like that and frankly this impression was even further amplified by the trail cam image.

But this is not to say that it might not have been a horrible crime. While the first option is statistically more likely, it does not mean that it was the case here. The forensic evidence is crucial here to understand how his body ended up in the state that it was - and I don't have that information.

In any case, it warrants a decent investigation. But I would not jump to "lynching" without any factual supporting evidence. There might as well be some, but so far the autopsy part seems to be a mess.

Still can't find an actual autopsy, but I am convinced that this man is the victim of a crime.

EBM to add that the article says
"His head was severed from his body."

Same here. At the least, even if it is (by small chance IMO) a mental break, the police did him an extreme disservice by turning him away THREE TIMES (phone once, in person twice). I could MAYBE see them brushing it off if some homeless person keeps coming in and bothering them. But a random frightened young man? Why didn’t they at least call mental health services or a hospital?

Hmmm. Not the same county (but not far away) in Mississippi but could it indicate a similar mindset in the general area?

Former Mississippi law enforcement officers plead guilty over racist assault on 2 Black men

Court documents said the six White former law enforcement officers in Mississippi called themselves the "Goon Squad" "because of their willingness to use excessive force" and "not to report it."

"Six White former law enforcement officers in Mississippi who called themselves the "Goon Squad" have pleaded guilty over a racist assault on two Black men who were brutalized during a home raid that ended with an officer shooting one man in the mouth, federal prosecutors say. The civil rights charges were unsealed Thursday as the officers — five former Rankin County sheriff's deputies and an ex-Richland police officer — appeared in federal court and pleaded guilty."

“She said that she and her family have contacted the Mississippi Medical Examiner’s Office, which received the remains for an autopsy. However, despite making multiple attempts to contact them, they have not received a response about what happened to her son.

The mother also said she has not received all of her son’s remains, adding to the trauma of his death and the open wound left by the family not getting any answers or closure.”
