Ruth Helen Harrion was 67 when she was raped and murdered outside her Jackson, Mississippi home in July 2014. On July 15 she called 911 to report a prowler; the dispatcher’s connection was severed without instructions to stay on the line. Officers who responded reported no signs of a break-in and, after receiving no answer at the door, left. Hours later Harrion was found outside her residence, having been violently assaulted and killed.

Her neighbor, Alonzo Stewart, was arrested and charged with capital murder. The criminal case then stalled for years amid repeated questions about Stewart’s mental competency to stand trial. Meanwhile Harrion’s family pursued a wrongful death suit against the city of Jackson, arguing the dispatcher and responding officers were negligent; the Mississippi Supreme Court found the city liable and awarded the family damages.

Who in Jackson remembers anything from that night or has information that could still help bring closure to the family?
