Jonathan David Hankins left home in May 2022. Authorities found him dead a few days later, but they didn't tell his mother.

Third time this has been discovered in Hinds county over the past few months

NBC News has previously documented how Dexter Wade, who lived in Jackson, was struck and killed by a police car and buried in a pauper’s grave this year without anyone telling his mother, who had reported him missing. In another case, the family of Marrio Moore, who was beaten to death in Jackson and buried at the same county cemetery, went eight months without knowing what happened.

Jonathan was buried in a nearby plot at the Hinds County penal farm on Sept. 14, 2022.

    but I think it’s safe to say you’ll be missed here whenever you log off for the last time.

    I will definitely miss @Stamets whenever he logs off Lemmy for the last time. He’s definitely one of my favorite people here. And he contributes so much too. And he’s a very nice person to boot. We should all cherish him for as long as he decides to be here.

      I love being part of a community small enough for people to have their own online identity. I recognize a lot of the prolific posters here such as yourself and @Stamets.
