Autopsy Results on Slain Family Released
The father of a family found killed in the Mississippi woods was shot to death, and his wife and their 4-year-old son were strangled, according to autopsy results.
The findings were made public only hours after relatives of the Hargon family arranged Friday funerals for the three, who disappeared from their rural home on Valentine’s Day.
The bodies of Michael Hargon; his wife, Rebecca; and their son, James Patrick, were found in a wooded area Tuesday night. The discovery occurred shortly after Michael’s cousin, Earnest Lee Hargon, was charged with capital murder.
