Over 200 unidentified bodies have been found in a paupers grave behind a Jackson, Mississippi jail... The problem is, a few of these individuals had families who were looking for them and had been calling the police to report their disappearance while continuously checking in to see if there had been sightings or new leads. Despite that, the police stated that they didn't know where they were, even though the knowledge was within arms reach of the investigators. Only when reporters got involved were some of these families brought closure. With more investigations ongoing, a civil trial regarding these issues, and the looming threat of a federal investigation into the handling of these bodies, we are going to dive deep into what exactly happened and how the coroner & police dropped the ball... or maybe even tried to hide these bodies intentionally.
