With a free car sign, and the keys in the ignition, what could possible be wrong? Just a dead body in the trunk, discovered when two guys who took up the offer of a free car looked it over when they got it home

Two men found the vehicle in the city of Byram wearing a "free car" sign and with the key inside. They drove it to neighboring Copiah County over the weekend, according to officials. 

The men, who were not immediately identified, found the body in the car's trunk when they looked inside after arriving at a family member’s home, Copiah County Coroner Ellis Stuart said.

Authorities identified the victim as 34-year-old Anthony Mccrillis, whose body Stuart said was in the vehicle for several days and found without clothes. The car belonged to Mccrillis, police said.

  1. I would think that the car smelled awful, if that body had been in the truck for several days in summer in Mississippi.

  2. More to the story - 3 people have been arrested, including the 2 who claim to have found the car. So far, they are not suspects in the man's death, but the cause of death has not been determined yet.
