Reed’s grandfather JB Reed said the commentary was made by a member of the Bolivar County Sheriff, according to affiliate Abc Wapt. He added that the civil servant with whom he had spoken “did not even say possible suicide, he said suicide”.

“The family does not know exactly what happened on September 15, 2025,” said Jones, according to the point of sale. “We are looking for answers.”
