Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers posted a brief message on its Facebook page. The post was short and provided limited detail.
Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers is a community-based program that works with local law enforcement to solicit anonymous tips about crimes. Crime Stoppers organizations typically share information about wanted suspects, missing people and unsolved cases and sometimes offer rewards to encourage tips that can lead to arrests.
Local social media posts from Crime Stoppers can prompt timely community responses and help investigators gather new leads. The use of Facebook and other platforms allows the group to reach a wide audience quickly and to encourage members of the public to provide information to law enforcement through established, often anonymous, channels.
Because the original post contained only limited information, details about the matter referenced are not yet available. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
