JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A press conference was held at Capitol Police headquarters regarding the death investigation of Dau Mabil.
The Belhaven man went missing in March. His body was found in the Pearl River in Lawrence County a month later.
They all want to know what happened to Mabil and where things stand in this investigation.
“Everybody knows what happened to Dau. Everybody is quiet. You might hurt the case. The only case we are hurting if we talk is Karrisa’s case as long as they can lie to you,” Valeena Greer said, who is the foster mother of Dau.
“My mother is here. She wants to see her son and what was done to him,” said Bul Mabi, the brother of Dau.
Dau Mabil’s mother could not hold back her emotions.
With signs in hand, family, friends, and community members stood together as one demanded the wheels of justice to turn in this case to bring everyone some closure.
“The Mississippi Capitol Police, the lead agency in charge of my brother’s death investigation, has not been fair and forthcoming with the investigation,” Bul said. “The Capitol Police Division has failed to handle my brother’s case with the respect and urgency it deserves.”
He strongly believes Capitol Police and The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation are not reporting key information to the family nor the public.
“If there was no foul play, where is the Capitol Police investigation report? Where was the MBI report when the Chief of Capitol Police said they agree with that conclusion,” Bul said.
Family members also believe that those who were close to Dau Mabil may have played a role in his disappearance and death.
“The evidence is there,” Greer said. “Dau said, ‘I am the evidence.’ Get Dau’s body. He is still crying for help. Somebody help me! I’m supposed to hear that and not do anything?”
The family is now calling on the Department of Justice to look into and investigate what happened, hoping it’ll lead to more answers on what happened.
