Skull identified as missing woman BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com
IUKA — It has been confirmed that a human skull discovered last week is the remains of an Iuka woman missing since June. Tishomingo Coroner Mack Wilemon said the skull was the partial remains of Susie Rena Lanier, 43, who was reported missing by her
husband on June 6. The partial remains had been sent to the forensics lab in Jackson for analysis to identify the individual last week after a Tishomingo County resident reported that his dogs had brought a human skull up into his front yard on Country Road 247. Investigators with the TCSD immediately conducted a search until
it had to be called off due to severe weather conditions. The search continued Friday, but Tishomingo County Sheriff John Daugherty had said it was a heavily wooded area and rough terrain. Thus far, no other remains have been found, according to Wilemon. “There’s just nothing to go on to

It’s a kickoff to a new beginning. It’s how Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter board president Kayo McPeters describes the block party style fundraiser on tap later this month in downtown Corinth. The event, called “A Night to Howl Under the Moon,” will kickoff fundraising efforts for the shelter’s new nonprofit foundation with a goal of raising $1 million to construct a new state-of-the-art shelter. Set for Thursday, Sept. 21 from 6 to 8 p.m., the event will feature entertainment from jazz group Blue Magnolia, heavy hors d’oeuvers and craft beer from Vicari Italian Grill and a wine tasting. A silent auction and wine pull will also take place. “We’re excited to finally launch the fundraising for the new building,” said McPeters. “We think people and businesses in the community are going to enjoy this event, which we hope will be something we can do every September.” The event will take place in the middle of Cruise Street between Vicari and Cruise Street Market.

Cost is $10 per entry for the first three entries and $5 for each entry after that. “There has been some confusion about our entry fees this year,” said Wood. “One entry is $10, two entries are $20, three are $30, then all entries after that become $5 each. So four entries would be $35.” Wood said she believes the best deal is five entires for $40. “It’s a good deal for the con-
