“People don’t want to help until it’s national.” That’s what Candice Bryant told Dateline when she asked for help finding her friend, Latasha Crump Coleman. At the time, the 46-year-old mother and corrections officer had been missing from Jackson, Mississippi for two months. Jackson Police had performed two searches, but with few clues found, Tasha’s loved ones were terrified that her case was going to go cold.
Latasha was last seen on July 18, 2023. When she was a no-call no-show at work two days after, her adult son Dexter and the rest of the family immediately suspected that something had happened to Tasha, and those suspicions were pointed squarely at her estranged husband, Derrick Coleman. Tasha’s family spent the next year searching for her and fighting for justice. Then, on July 21, 2024, just a few days after the one-year anniversary of Tasha’s disappearance, a shocking act of violence occurred that made her loved ones wonder if they would ever get the answers they were desperately seeking.
Latasha Crump-Coleman was driving a gray 2002 Acura MDX, with a Mississippi license plate HPA8639.
Anyone with information regarding Latasha Crump Coleman’s disappearance is urged to call the Jackson Police Department at 601-960-1234.
