I’m gonna go out on a limb, and say it was the hanging.


It sounds like she was already dead and the hanging was meant to make it look like a suicide. (Or a lynching.)

Guy I graduated high school with hung himself using a tree in N.O. City Park not too many years after graduating.

Smart and athletic. Bit of a nerd but everyone liked him. Never would have guessed he would do something like that.

Yep. 100% a suicide. Whitey is a lot of things but he ain't dumb enough to go try to hang a girl in the hood.


Did they find the ladder or step stool she jumped from or did she climb the tree? One of those has to exist for suicide. Forensics will be looking for tree bark on the body.

One of the gals in my grad school class was renting a house in fort worth. Went home after class, set her stuff down, got a drink and looked out the kitchen window....to see her neighbor swinging from a rope around his neck hanging from a tree about 8 feet away.

shite happens.

Interesting fact, the ringleader of the dudes that murdered Byrd is the reason Texas death row no longer serves last meals besides what’s in the kitchen.

Law enforcement sources say Fortune was living with Anderson and they quarreled on the Saturday before her body was found. Detectives said Anderson is a person of interest in the Fortune death investigation.

JPD arrested Anderson Tuesday and charged him with being a felon in possession of a firearm.

White people in MS try to avoid Jackson at all costs, especially neighborhoods. Nobody is going into a Jackson neighborhood alone to lynch someone. A group of whites would stand out like a sore thumb.

This was obviously a murder meant to look like suicide or plain ole suicide.

The killing of the mother of four has attracted national attention, both because of the severity of the crime and Mississippi’s brutal history of racist violence and lynchings.

Brackney acknowledged the media interest, but declined to discuss motive, other than saying the suspect, a 51-year-old Black man, knew Fortune.

“We understand the questions and the desire for answers given Mississippi’s history,” Brackney said. “We understand this case is being viewed through a broader lens, a global lens, and we do not dismiss those concerns. We are taking them seriously.”

I don't know. Something about the GoFund me goal of $3000 tells me even they don't think it was YT.

I saw this on local news here last night. They did not mention him being a white supremacist, though!

It's a big story throughout the state of MS--especially on the heels of Noah Wells.

Why does everytime something bad happens, the first thing someone does is setup a GFM? Family or someone close is always looking for a payday.
