On the night of May 14, 2010, 40-year-old Kim Kirk Cox was shot to death in her Sherman, Mississippi home after her estranged husband, David Neal Cox, forced his way inside. He then held Kim and two of her children hostage for more than eight hours. While Kim lay dying from the gunshot wound, David Cox repeatedly sexually assaulted his 12-year-old daughter in her mother’s presence. Police surrounded the residence and negotiated, but by the time officers gained entry in the early hours of May 15, Kim had bled to death. Her children were rescued from the scene.

David Neal Cox was taken into custody and later pleaded guilty to capital murder and other charges, including sexual assault. A jury sentenced him to death in 2012. The case left a family devastated and a community shaken by the brutality of the attack. Did anyone in the Sherman area have information about warning signs or contacts connected to the family in the months before May 2010?
