A Mississippi mother reported her son missing, but police kept the truth from her for months. The police killed her son and buried him in a pauper's grave without informing her. The mother marked her youngest son's 12th birthday in his absence. The mother claims that white cops hit her black son with a car and buried him in a field at a penal farm without notifying her for almost six months. The mayor of Jackson, Mississippi, blamed a communication failure for the botched investigation that kept the woman from learning about her son's death. Dexter Wade, a Mississippi resident, was struck and killed by an off-duty police officer earlier this year and reported missing by his family. However, his mother was only notified of his death months later after officials had buried his body.
