551 Missing Persons Cases In Mississippi

-- The Jackson Clarion Ledger reported on December 1, 2009:

"The void in Margarite Owens' heart makes it almost impossible for her to know peace.

She recites a single question over and over again - day and night - with no one able to give her an answer.

Where is her father?

Owens, 52, of Holly Bluff has carried frustration on her shoulders for more than two years as she has searched for her father, Jessie Edwards. Edwards, 78, was last seen on Nov. 4, 2007.

"You don't just disappear off the face of the Earth in a small town like Holly Bluff," she said. "Someone knows something. All we want is someone to help us, someone to step up and say something."

Owens is not alone.

There are 98,058 unresolved missing persons cases nationwide, and 551 of those cases are in Mississippi, according the FBI National Crime Information Center. The FBI also has 18 unidentified bodies on record in the state."
