A third man has been arrested in connection with the death of Tasia Fortune, a 29-year-old mother of four whose body was discovered hanging from a tree in Jackson, Mississippi, in August. Eric Clark, 45, turned himself in to authorities on 25 September and was charged with murder, according to the Jackson Police Department. His initial court appearance was scheduled for 28 September.
Police later disclosed new details about the circumstances surrounding Fortune's death, including findings from the state medical examiner that indicated the hanging scene had been 'staged'. Authorities have not publicly identified which suspect, if any, they believe was responsible for placing her body in the tree.
