April Jones' was a mother of seven who had graduated at the top of her class at Cleveland High School. Her best friend said the striking brunette didn’t know she was beautiful.

While Jones and Polk both ran with what family members called a “questionable” crowd, both were loved by most who knew them.

On October 10, 2019, both of them disappeared into thin air. Brenda Hunt and Brooke Austin were at Austin’s father’s home around the time the two went missing. They said they heard a blood-curdling scream.

They went to search for the source of that scream, but they didn’t find anything.

In a small town like Crowder, home to only 646 people, it would seem hard to lose two full-grown adults, but for more than a year now, there have been very few signs of Polk and Jones.

Polk was last seen when he was dropped off at the home of a woman who lived in Crowder. Her yard shared a border with the home where Jones was staying at the time. Polk’s mother said his cousin was there in the carport when she let her son out.

Family members said that cousin told them he had last seen Polk walking down the road.

It’s not clear who saw Jones last, or if she and Polk were together when they disappeared. They were involved in a physical relationship, family members said, but at the time the two disappeared, there were at least a few other men who admitted to being in love with Jones. She had told friends she was pregnant.

In October 2019, Will Polk and April Jones disappeared into thin air in Crowder, Mississippi. In spite of a shoe and a bloody sweatshirt of Will's found at the levee and later a shoe that possibly belonged to April, as well as a lot of street chatter, under local investigation the case has stood motionless for a year. MBI has recently entered the picture. Here, Will's cousin S. describes finding one of his shoes on a search organized by the families in the continued absence of a law enforcement search. You'll see the story tonight on WLBT at 10, as well as more on our website with additional details and interviews.

Looks like 3 more arrests were made in June:

Tuesday in Justice Court, Keith Coleman Junior, a.k.a. K2, was charged with two counts of murder, two counts of conspiracy to commit murder, and two counts of dismemberment of a body. Jayme L Tubbs of Water Valley received the same charges.

A third suspect, Dezimond Ray Brown, was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder.

All three suspects were denied bond in their initial appearance. Police told the family the victims were dismembered.

Three more arrests made in Quitman County double homicide

This is a nightmare.

“I would definitely say that they single-handedly destroyed the human psyche of one entire family, because that’s not something that we can ever unsee. Brittney’s had nightmares since she got it, I’ve had nightmares since I saw it,” Campbell said. “They absolutely kicked a family in their teeth when they were down, and there’s a special place in hell for those people.”
