The wife, a son and a daughter of a man found dead in Yazoo County on New Year’s Eve have been charged with his murder.
Dorothy Vance, 59, Andrew Vance, 33, and Nicole Vance, 23, were arrested Wednesday by the Yazoo County Sheriff’s Department and charged with the murder of 60-year old Arthur Vance Sr. of Kearney Park.
A bridge inspector found Vance’s body in a creek under a bridge on Link Road.
Yazoo County Coroner Ricky Shivers said that Vance died from blunt force trauma.
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
