FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Attorneys for Cox with the Office of Capital Post-Conviction Counsel (CPCC), hand-delivered
writings from Cox to the District Attorney disclosing the alleged location of the body of Felicia
Cox; missing since July of 2007. Cox has been a long-time suspect in her disappearance.
The Pontotoc County Sheriffs Department and the District Attorney’s Office were in contact with
Cox through the CPC prior to the execution urging the disclosure.
Itappears Cox provided the alleged location details and an admission of guilt on or about October
26, 2021 to his attorneys and waived attorney-client privilege effective upon his death. There
was no indication anyone other than Cox is responsible for Felicia Cox’s death.

County, Mississippi.
Since the disclosure, our office has been working diligently with Sheriff Leo Mask and his
investigators to coordinate the search for Felicia Cox’s remains in the coming days. We have
contacted experts in Archeology and Anthropology with Mississippi State University to assist in
the search and recovery if located.
We would like to stress that locating the remains of Felicia Cox is not a foregone conclusion. We
are hopeful the information is accurate and that recovery efforts will be successful so that
Felicia’s family may give her a proper burial.

We are extremely grateful for the work that has been accomplished so far. Assistant District
