A call to work on a decades-old cold case has sparked a movement aimed at helping all missing and unidentified persons in Mississippi.

It starts with Dr. Jesse Goliath, an assistant professor of anthropology at Mississippi State University. He was asked to assist on the forensic recovery of Felicia Cox in December 2021. From that case, Dr. Goliath asked if the state had a repository for missing and unidentified persons. After being met with a “no”, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
