Father Frustrated Over Pace of Search for Missing Jackson State U. Student

JACKSON Miss.

The father of a missing 20-year-old Jackson State University student says he’s frustrated by what he describes as a slow-moving investigation.

Latasha Norman, an accounting major from Greenville, has been missing for nearly a week. Authorities have said little publicly about their investigation.

“I’m not leaving Jackson until I find out something about my child. If I don’t get something accomplished, I’m taking it to a higher level,” Danny Bolden of Greenville said Monday, adding that he would try to contact the FBI or district attorney’s office.

“They haven’t told me nothing yet and that’s why I’m frustrated. This is totally out of Tasha’s character. She wouldn’t have ever just left with a stranger,” Bolden said.

JSU’s campus police and the Jackson Police Department are handling the case. Norman, a junior honor student, was last seen on Nov. 13 in an afternoon marketing class, but never returned to her dorm room. Her car was left on campus.
