Jonathan David Hankins left home in May 2022. Authorities found him dead a few days later, but they didn't tell his mother.

Third time this has been discovered in Hinds county over the past few months

NBC News has previously documented how Dexter Wade, who lived in Jackson, was struck and killed by a police car and buried in a pauper’s grave this year without anyone telling his mother, who had reported him missing. In another case, the family of Marrio Moore, who was beaten to death in Jackson and buried at the same county cemetery, went eight months without knowing what happened.

Jonathan was buried in a nearby plot at the Hinds County penal farm on Sept. 14, 2022.

    I know friends in places like that. I’m going to end up in a place like that. We didn’t, and don’t, have family.

    I can’t say anything about where any of us will end up for sure, but I think it’s safe to say you’ll be missed here whenever you log off for the last time.

    I don’t think anybody deserves to be completely forgotten like this, but I think things are also not entirely grim as they seem. Things we do in life resonate in ways we never see, someone might be gone and forgotten but the things they said and did will have ripple effects for forever.

    Like your namesake character said, “nothing is ever truly gone, now let’s do these mushrooms” (I think that’s how it went, been a while since I’ve seen Discovery)
