— Gretchen Hankins came to the Hinds County pauper’s field Friday morning for her son’s body, and for answers.
She said a staff member at the Hinds County coroner’s office had told her she could attend the exhumation.
“I don’t know about missing persons,” said Grisham-Stewart, who has held the elected office of Hinds County coroner since 1999.
“But it wasn’t that hard,” Gretchen Hankins told Grisham-Stewart.
In December, NBC News published the names of 215 people buried in the Hinds County pauper’s cemetery since 2016 to give families an opportunity to find loved ones.
