Sherry Ingold was a rural letter carrier for the United States Postal Service since 1994. On January 16, 2020, while delivering mail along Highway 35 North in Attala County, Mississippi, she was shot in the head. The community responded with prayer vigils and purple bows along her route. She died on January 24, 2020, at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. She is survived by a spouse, three adult children, and eight grandchildren.

Authorities quickly identified a suspect, 28-year-old Roland Mitchell Dampeer. On the same day as the attack, Dampeer had reportedly attempted to kidnap a woman from a grocery store in Kosciusko before encountering the postal worker. A state trooper shot Dampeer; he was hospitalized and later released into federal custody. Because Ingold was a federal employee, Dampeer was prosecuted in federal court, initially on attempted murder and assault on a postal worker charges. In April 2022 a U.S. District Court trial returned a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict in the killing of Sherry Ingold.

Did anyone who knew Sherry or who was in the Attala County area on January 16, 2020, see anything that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
