BASSFIELD, Miss. (AP) - Officials say an autopsy shows a
Jefferson Davis County man and his wife were strangled.

Fuller Redd, were killed the day before their bodies were found
Saturday in their Bassfield home.
A neighbor found the Redds lying on their floor near the
kitchen.
Sheriff Henry McCullum said he has a few leads but hasn't made
any arrests.
The couple's 1997 Chevrolet Lumina was missing from the home.

community.
Services for the couple were scheduled Wednesday at New Chapel
United Pentecostal Church in Collins.

Who ever did this should be shot on sight (eye for an eye). I am so sorry for the families of this couple. I ask that God be with you in your time of sorrow.
