PANOLA COUNTY, Miss.
(<—video at Link) – Someone fatally lit Jessica Chambers on fire along a country road two weeks ago this weekend.
Still, there have been no arrests so far.
District Attorney John Champion confirmed Friday that there are no official updates in the investigation.
Champion shared that private donors contributed an additional $800 to the reward fund for information, bringing the total to $16,800.
The “Justice for Jessica” Facebook page launched a fundraising effort this week to contribute money to the reward fund as well.
Champion said officials are asking that people do not leave flower memorials at the murder site for road safety reasons.  Instead, Champion said people could donate to the reward fund if they so choose. (more…)

Update #1: How about “Leah’s House” as alternative location for tribute?  This is where Jessica went for support, restoration, healing and comfort.   Please let me know your thoughts in comments – my heart is heavy, and we’re searching for a way to turn adversity into a positive outcome. 

As UNBELIEVABLE as it sounds, the Panola County Sheriffs office is refusing to allow any flowers to be left as the roadside where 19-year-old Jessica Lane Chambers was brutally murdered on December 6th.

In an incredibly insensitive position, according to Mrs. “Robbie” (Robbie W. Haley is Administrative Assistant to the Sheriff 662-563-6230) within the Panola Sheriff’s Office, nothing will be allowed, and anything left to memorialize Jessica Lane Chambers will be removed immediately by the Sheriff’s department personnel.
The Sheriff’s assistant tells Ashley (our contact in Courtland) *she should give the collected money to the family -and- any flowers must be placed graveside. Nothing additional to draw memory to Jessica Chambers will be permitted by the Sheriffs office. (more…)

(Via The Hill) Obama Praises LeBron James For Stoking Racial Tensions With Wearing “I Can’t Breathe” T-Shirt…

President Obama says NBA superstar LeBron James did “the right thing” when he wore a t-shirt protesting the death of Staten Island resident Eric Garner.
James and other NBA players have worn t-shirts emblazoned with “I can’t breathe,” Garner’s dying words as he was put in a chokehold by a New York City police officer.
Obama has said generally that he believed it was “important” for athletes to speak out on political and social issues. But in an interview with People magazine released Friday, he offered his strongest endorsement of the protests from James and other NBA players to date. (more…)

DeAndre Joshua (Ferguson, Missouri), Jessica Chambers (Courtland, Mississippi) now another in North Memphis area of Millington, TN.  Pattern?

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (FOX13) – Shelby County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating a body that was found in a burning pickup truck Thursday afternoon on Mudville Road in Millington.
A sheriff spokesman said a witness saw a pick-up on fire just after 4 p.m. in the 7800 block of Mudville Road.

When deputies and first responders arrived they found a body inside the pickup truck, which was found down in a ditch.
It is unclear if the body is male or female.  The body was found in the passenger side of the pickup truck, SCSO spokesman Chip Washington said. They are considering this as suspicious. (more…)

[…]  Bottom line: unless white Hispanic Ted Cruz confesses to the killing of Chambers, expect this Mississippi burning story to die. Holder’s DOJ has no more interest in seeing it solved than do the media”…

Jack Cashill – In August 1955, Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Chicago boy, was brutally beaten and shot for allegedly flirting with a white woman in a Mississippi delta town.
Ever since, and especially in the Obama years, the charlatans who preside over the vestiges of the civil rights movement and their media allies have been looking for a new Emmett Till. Predictably, they have been looking in all the wrong places.
One place they have chosen not to look is Courtland, Mississippi, a small town in Panola County an hour south of Memphis. There, on Dec. 6, firefighters responding to a car fire found 19-year-old Jessica Chambers near death. (more…)

Grandpa had previously taken his grandson to shooting and gun safety class.
Charlotte – Burglars had tried to break into George and Anna Marie Wyant’s home near Mint Hill at least twice, so they kept a pistol hidden in the house for protection, hoping they’d never have to use it.
On Tuesday, their 14-year-old grandson was visiting. He was sick with bronchitis, and Anna Marie, 73, had just had hip replacement surgery. They were taking care of each other while his mother and the rest of the family was at a Christmas party.

The teen was headed to the kitchen to make his grandmother a bowl of rice when they heard a back window break around 5:15 p.m.
A few minutes later, Anna Marie Wyant told a 911 operator what had happened.
“The man was breaking into the window,” she told the operator. “He was halfway in the window. My grandson told him to stop and get out of here and he didn’t so my grandson shot him. … Somebody just broke in the house and we shot him.” (more…)

Jessica Lane Chambers – Open Discussion Research Thread

District Attorney John Champion moves from “nah, we don’t have gangs” on 12/9/14, to “well, we might have a problem with gangs“, on 12/17/14, “but doesn’t everybody“?

Panola county sheriff, Dennis “Jesus Solves My Crimes” Darby, apparently unavailable for comment.

According to the 19-year-old M&M Gas Station “Owner”, turned “Operator”, now described as “Clerk”, Jessica Lane Chambers bought $14 in gas the night she was murdered. Usually, according to the same principal, she only purchased $4-$5 in gas per trip.
Which spawned numerous people to ask:

Who buys $14 in gas?

Simple answer, a teen buying a pack of smokes. Video of the gas station shows a price of $5.30 + tax. Mississippi tax 7% total purchase $5.67. Hand the clerk a $20 and put the rest in the gas tank. Prior trips, hand the clerk a $10 and do the same.
Like many of the questions surrounding Jessica Lane Chambers, the simplest answers are the most correct. What’s less understandable is why so many people in and around Courtland have severe aversion to the spotlight of media.
Although that too can be explained, unfortunately. (more…)

12/16/14 we know the FBI and ATF agents along with federal Marshalls are now on the ground in Courtland Mississippi investigating the death of Jessica Lane Chambers. Wagonloads of Govt Tagged SUVs line and circle the Sheriffs office. Justice will be found.

If it were not for the leads you all have assembled, and the sunlight brought by all of the people demanding Justice on her behalf, the resources would not be on the ground to bring her killer(s) to account. According to new reports the CCTV recording system is now in the hands of the FBI forensics team. (more…)

Sunlight does strange things to people’s dispositions.  The local NBC News affiliate WMC5 in Courtland Mississippi appears to have found a new job title for the owner of the M&M First Stop Gas Station, Ali Alsanai.  
Only a few days ago they were reporting that Ali Alsanai, aka Basem Alsanai, aka Ali Fadhel, was the 19-year-old owner/operator of the business.  After 48 hours of scrutiny into the background of Mr. Alsanai all of a sudden, poof, he becomes a “clerk” at the store. 
The title of their on-line article passes him off as merely a “worker”, now.

Couldn’t have anything to do with the sunlight now upon the business, beer and wine licenses, ATF agents, and ears perked by USDA (*hint* EBT fraud), and IRS interests combining with FBI agents dispatched, while eyes seem curious about his successful entrepreneurship.   You can’t make this stuff up folks.
PANOLA CO, MS (WMC) – The man who may have been one of the last people to talk with Jessica Chambers says he is being threatened, and he is being called the leader of a gang that may have been involved in Chambers’ death.
Jessica Chambers, a 19-year-old Panola County resident, was murdered on December 6th. She was found burning next to her car, which was also on fire. (more…)
