A Verdict Reversed: Latasha Norman

In this episode of Hunting 4 Answers: In November 2007, 20-year-old Latasha Norman disappeared after attending class at Jackson State University in Mississippi. Weeks earlier, she had reported being assaulted by her former boyfriend.

Sixteen days after she vanished, her remains were discovered in a wooded area. Her former boyfriend was convicted of murder, but that conviction was later overturned.

He eventually pleaded guilty to manslaughter and other charges, receiving a 40-year prison sentence. What began with a college student's disappearance became a yearslong legal battle, ending with a guilty plea to a lesser charge.
