BASIC CITY, Miss. (AP) - Officials from the Mississippi Crime Lab and Mississippi Bureau of Investigation are investigating the discovery of a body in northern Clarke County.

The state agencies joined the Clarke County Sheriff’s Department on County Road 376 near Basic City after a neighbor called 911.
