52 year old Mark Ginn had been missing since April 14, 2008. He was last seen driving a 1996 bronze Jeep Grand Cherokee with license plate number 255 HEN. The FBI became involved in the case and was searching for Ginn.
WLBT has learned why the FBI is involved. Sources confirm there is an ongoing investigation concerning Ginn’s employment with BankPlus in Byram.
The probe is focused on suspicious activity at the bank. BankPlus officials would not comment. However, an official with the Byram branch earlier said that they could neither confirm nor deny any money is missing from the bank and they are cooperating with authorities.
Search Continues for Missing Byram Man
Ginn: Missing person or fugitive?
Not long after that, Ginn vanished.
Footage from a local Home Depot showed him buying a hose and duct tape, which led to initial speculation he planned to use these items to use his car to asphyxiate himself.
Authorities have since wondered if he made the purchases to trick them into thinking he committed suicide.
A week after Ginn vanished, the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department enlisted help from the FBI, which investigates embezzlement and other crimes against banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
The department also received help from the U.S. Marshals Service, which specializes in searching for fugitives.
Rumors swirled that Ginn may be on the Caribbean island of Barbados, but if authorities know where he is, they aren’t saying.
They believe Ginn is alive and have publicly ruled out foul play.
UPDATE I: Ginn Missing Person Case May Now Be Classified As Criminal Investigation
WLBT has learned a Jackson business owner may be the victim of some fraudulent loan activity by Ginn. As WLBT first reported, the FBI is investigating suspicious transactions at the bank where the 52-year-old Ginn was employed.
Sources tell us Warren Logan, the owner of this business, Graves Auto Electric on Highway 80 West, recently discovered two separate 50-thousand dollar loans on property he owns…loans he apparently did not seek.
UPDATE II: Vehicle of Mark Ginn Found Sunday with Body Inside
The 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee belonging to missing 52 year old Mark Ginn was found Sunday be two people in a rural area north of Hinds County.
After 34 days with no sign of Mark Ginn or his vehicle, the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department receives a surprising phone call. Two people found Ginn’s 1996 bronze Jeep Grand Cherokee in a heavily wooded area on private property near the intersection of Johnson Line and Cox Ferry Roads. That’s in rural Hinds County, 11 miles west of Flora. A body was inside the vehicle. Sources tell WLBT, the body was wearing the same clothes Ginn was last seen in. The Sheriff’s Department can not confirm if it is Ginn until a medical pathologist identifies the body.
The jeep was found less than 20 miles away from where Ginn was last seen driving in Clinton. He had undergone open heart surgery two weeks before his disappearance. Those close to Ginn feared it may have been a factor.
An unidentified body was also found in the vehicle. Hinds County Sheriff’s Department Captain Steve Pickett said the body is now at the State Crime Lab where a medical pathologist will make the identification.
UPDATE III: Autopsy May Determine If Body Is That Of Mark Ginn
Even though the body has not yet been positively identified, it looks like the family considers it strictly a formality. Funeral arrangements have been made for Mark Ginn after finding his vehicle with a body inside. Family members obviously feel that it is Mark Ginn.

UPDATE I: Helicopter, crews searches for missing child
UPDATE II: STORY IS A HOAX … CHILD WAS NEVER MISSING!!!
It turns out that 3 year old Siraj Unir Davenport was never missing. The entire story was a hoax. Not only is the boy safe, he was never missing in the first place.
But authorities said none of that was true during a news conference Tuesday morning.
“I can tell you that the child was never in Smithfield. The child was not abducted from the flea market central square,” Smithfield police Chief Steve Gillikin said.
Local and federal law enforcement agencies spent a lot of resources in their search as they looked for the boy on Sunday and Monday, canvassing the area around the flea market.
“There’s been a lot of man hours spent, there’s been a lot of money spent, and unfortunately, in situations like this, it makes the next one that comes along that much more difficult,” Gillikin added.
Local mothers were also upset when they heard of the hoax.
“You get a little disgusted that someone would even pull something like that because you want people to pay attention when kids are missing,” Johnston County resident Caren Wharton said of the hoax.

27 year old Josh Hartman and his 31 year old fiance Ana Martin have been missing since May 8, 2008. They were last seen heading out on their 32 foot boat, The Pelican, on Thursday morning from Oceanside Harbor, CA.
Josh Hartman and Ana Martin
PICTURES of the couple can be seen here.
UPDATE I: The 32 foot boat belonging to Josh Hartman and Ana Martin washed ashore on a beach near Rosarito, Mexico. The couple was not on board the boat.
SAN DIEGO — The fishing boat belonging to an Oceanside couple who went missing at sea this week has washed up on the beach near Rosarito, Mexico, authorities said.
No one was on board the 32-foot boat when it landed ashore Friday north of Rosarito, a beach community 20 miles south of the border, U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Jeremy Denning said.
An aerial search for the vessel named Pelican was called off, he said.
UPDATE II: Mexican Navy Handling Sea Search For Missing SoCal Couple
SAN DIEGO — The search for a missing Oceanside couple whose fishing boat washed ashore just north of Rosarito, Mexico, is in the hands of the Mexican Navy, a U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant said Saturday.
The U.S. Coast Guard has inspected the waters off San Diego County with a helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft, but the search has been suspended, according to Denning.
Odds of survival in the cool waters off the U.S. shore “are slim” at this point, the lieutenant said.
If they’re to be found alive, the greater probability is that they would be off Baja California near where the Pelican was beached, an area the Mexican Navy continues to search, Denning said.
Hartman called family members Thursday afternoon to say they were fishing off Camp Pendleton and getting ready to return to port. He’s been described as an experienced boater and fisherman.

Is it possible that the mystery picture that surfaced on the internet is that of missing Tionda Bradley? Lois Gibson, a forensic artist with the Houston Police Department, said the online photo is that of Tionda Bradley, who disappeared at age 10 on July 6, 2001
10 year old Tionda Bradley and 3 year old Diamond Bradley have been missing since July 6, 2001. They were left home by their mother when she went to work. When their mother returned home at noon she found a note written in Tionda’s handwriting stating that the girls were going to the store and going to play at a near by school.
Friday night, Tracey called authorities and reported Diamond and Tionda missing. During their investigation, cops say several neighborhood children came forward and told cops they saw the girls playing outside of their complex around noon on Friday. Police say no one has seen them since.
The search was on for the Bradley sisters. Police searched the areas surrounding the girl’s home and lake. Police even dug up the cellar of the abandoned New Hope church–but found nothing. Investigators searched steel mills, thick woods, and the murky bottoms of small lakes and big ponds. (AMW)
