Recovered Body Identified 07/02/2007

The body that was found in Prentiss County Monday July 2nd has been identified as Pamela S Dailey age 28. Dailey had been living in Ill. but had moved to Prentiss County about a year ago. She was living in Franstown area, a mile or so from where her body was discovered. "We were hoping to identify her by means of fingerprints, but when that was unsuccessful, I released descriptions of numerous tattoos that were on her body. Immediately after the news aired, calls started coming in and thus enabling us to id her." "I greatly appreciate all the calls and leads that were called in." "The body was taken to Jackson to the State Pathologist Office by Coroner James Horn and an Investigator with the Prentiss County Sheriff's Office. At this point the pathologist can't give us 'a cause of death' that something that will have to be determined before any charges can be filed on anyone. We are presently waiting on the toxicology report which could take up to two weeks or more to get back." Investigators with the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol, the Prentiss County Sheriff Department and the Prentiss County Coroner are conducting the investigation. The State's Crime Lab Team came to Prentiss County and thoroughly examined the scene. Numerous pieces of evidence have been collected and seized by Investigating Officers and turned over to the State Crime Lab. Hopefully, we can bring this matter to some sort of a conclusion in the near future. Everyone did and outstanding job and properly secured the scene and all evidence, making for a great job." We did have an individual of interest in custody, but no charges were filed pending a determination of the cause of death.
Sheriff Randy M. Tolar
