The area he was last seen is a nice shopping corridor with several outdoor mall areas. However, it is not too far from downtown Jackson (straight shot down the same highway) which definitely ups the risk factor. Not much info; I wonder if the car was ever recovered.

I can't help but wonder if his job as a real estate agent might play into this. We've seen several cases where agents have been lured into dangerous situations by the promise of a quick sale from wealthy buyer, etc. I wonder if he would have met with someone at an empty property, even late at...

Thank you so much for this. This is the case that started my interest in true crime, due to being one of the journalism students who wrote the Hattiesburg American article you posted. I had no idea it was still out there somewhere, but I still check on Angela's case often.

Absolutely. My favorite drink at Panera used to be Blood Orange Lemonade, which they phased out during the COVID menu drawdown. These energy drinks were released not too long after that, and were first available in the lobby exactly where the previous (non-caffeinated) lemonade was located.

Their website says FBC Zachary is Southern Baptist, not Independent. I live in the region and grew up Southern Baptist. Most all Baptist churches down here, especially those of the "first" variety, are members of the Southern Baptist convention. Not saying they're without reproach, not even...

OK, well you must be right about what happened to us then. Thanks for the correction! Still sad for Sarah and her family.

They may have altered the labels between Sarah's death and this article. I stand by my personal experience with this beverage. As a professional writer/editor I don't tend to overlook the written word, especially when my daughter's health is concerned.

Did the articles say Sarah did drink dark roast coffee, or is that just how Panera advertises it online/in promotional materials? They may advertise it as having that much caffeine in some places, but that statement did not appear on the self-service urns when I accidentally served this to my...

My daughter has a heart condition that causes her to avoid caffeine, and I have anxiety that causes ME to avoid caffeine. We went to Panera together and got these lemonades when dining in, just based on how yummy and unique the flavors sounded. We thought nothing of it until I went back up to...

Just wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for contributing to the conversation; I've also followed Dail's case for years.

Well Dec 1990 to Dec 2020 is 30 years. So maybe he retired in 2010 instead, if he really served 20 years. Could be a typo.

I didn't see a purse in her outfit description or in the pic of her that night. Do we know what it looks like? If she had a purse, is it missing too? FWIW, I don't like carrying a purse when I go out. It's too cumbersome. So I'm team "stick it in your bra if you don't have a pocket" in this...

I went to high school with Latasha. We share mutual friends, and they are definitely not letting this go either. My understanding is that there is no evidence of a crime at the time, although family is convinced there is and has their suspicions. Everyone was glad when Dateline's Missing in...

I can no longer find a list of Katrina missing (there used to be on one the Louisiana Health and Human Services website). I checked the LA missing persons repository, and couldn't find anyone reported missing who remotely matches her description during the months after Katrina. I wonder if she...

Yes, I live in Mississippi around 50 miles from NOLA and both black and white people get money pinned on their shirt for their birthday. That's exactly what I pictured when the man gave money for her drink.
