The NAACP was the first organization to release Otis Byrd's identity. The last time Byrd was seen, a friend was dropping him off at the Riverwalk Casino in Vicksburg on March 2.

Byrd's family filed a missing person report with the Claiborne County Sheriff's Department on March 8, and MBI received a missing person report on March 13.

According to the Mississippi Department of Corrections, Byrd spent a little over 25 years in prison for the murder of Lucille Trimm during a robbery in Claiborne County. He was convicted of capital murder on Feb. 8, 1980, and was paroled Nov. 2, 2006.


More info being released. Doesn't exactly fit the a "good young man on the way to college" theme that has been so prevalent lately.

" Breaking News on CNN, and the guest commentator sounded like he was saying " Because the body was found so close to the Louisiana State line, The FBI was brought in to investigate possible civil rights violations. "

Well yeah, if it was near Louisiana, of course

Right. Lost in this already is the fact some poor person lost their life.



Ya right! This piece of shite was a convicted murderer that recently got out on parole. It is most likely suicide or a revenge killing, which I am fine with since he murdered an innocent woman. If they randomly targeted and killed him I am not fine with that, obviously.

He robbed and killed a woman with strong family political clout in 1980.

LINK /

"According to the Mississippi Department of Corrections, Byrd spent a little over 25 years in prison for the Feb. 1980 murder of Lucille Trim in Claiborne County. Records show he robbed her of $101. He was convicted of capital murder on October 28, 1980, and was paroled Nov. 2, 2006.

Trim is the mother of Martha Rainville, the first woman in the history of the National Guard to serve as a State Adjutant General when she became Adjutant General in Vermont in 1997. Rainville currently lives in Virginia and is married to the Hon. Paul McHale, a former congressman from Pennsylvania and a former Assistant Secretary of Defense."

I dunno, but watch the video, it was clear that he said it that way. Like as if because it was near Louisiana, FBI needs to be brought in to investigate civil rights violations

He only got 25 years for murder? That's the real problem here.

Maybe because the crime possibly crossed state lines?

If it's the family of the lady he murdered 25 yrs ago,I'd call it justice.

I suppose that could be it, but it's clearly in Mississippi
