An FBI agent appealed for patience Friday after a black man was found hanging from a tree in Mississippi, saying 30 federal, state and local agents were working intensively to determine whether he was killed or committed suicide.
"Everybody wants answers and wants them quickly. We understand that," FBI Special Agent Don Alway told a crowd outside the Claiborne County Courthouse. "We are going to hold off on coming to any conclusions until the facts take us to a definitive answer."
The county coroner confirmed that the man found hanging from a white sheet Thursday was Otis Byrd, an ex-convict reported missing by his family more than two weeks ago. Byrd lived just 200 yards from the spot where his body was found, in a wooded area off a dirt road that ran behind his house.
Alway said investigators are interviewing Byrd's family and friends and searching his rental home and a storage unit for clues, and will not reveal any evidence along the way.
"We are trying to paint a picture of Byrd's life. We are trying to find out what was going on with him personally and professionally," he said.
Claiborne County Sheriff Marvin Lucas Sr. told The Associated Press earlier Friday that Byrd did not appear to have stepped off of anything in the area where he was found hanging from a tree limb about 12 feet high. His feet were dangling about two feet off the ground, and his hands were not bound, Lucas said.
"Life matters," Lucas told the crowd. "I commit to you, as the sheriff of Claiborne County, that I will not allow the shadows of the past to cast a shadow on the future."

FBI acting stupidly, again....
I was about to post on this topic
This article references an la times article that claims the death was probably suicide
It’s taking longer than we thought to find a TEA Party member.
So the FBI is involved?
The racist, liberal DemocRATS in the state controlled “media” have already pinned it on a rich, little old white lady called “Granny”.
Suicide does not fit the desired narrative. So just get that thought out of your mind.
Glad the POS is dead.
hey, it takes time to falsify evidence.
“Life matters,” Lucas told the crowd. “I commit to you, as the sheriff of Claiborne County, that I will not allow the shadows of the past to cast a shadow on the future.”
Good man. Now if everyone will just stay calm for more than five minutes...
Ummm a black man found hanging from a tree. There are two possibilities that come to mind, and yes, one of them is a lynching. Hopefully that is not the case.
Prayers for the man’s family.

Have they questioned George Zimmerman yet?
Asking for patients until the investigation is complete is stupid?
FBI acting stupidly, again....>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The deceased was a 50+ yoa , recently released convict, who was found hung by a bed sheet, about 12 feet off the ground. They have not yet ruled out suicide.
“Let the hands up , don’t shoot,” protests begin? Where are
Eric Holder and Al ( race baiter jockey) Sharpton?
The dead man was an ex-convict, apparently.
Is that what made him a POS in your mind?
I was just wondering why such a strong reaction...
that the Sheriff...had to Bring Up the Lynching Boogieman... in the manner that he did is ever so telling
He coulda been motivated to help Zer0 inflame race relations by having some community organizers string him up voluntarily. Not likely, I know...
