I need an experienced investigative journalist to help me untangle a complex shooting involving a married couple in South Mississippi and the law-enforcement response that followed. My goal is a rock-solid, independently verified account that can stand on its own, guide possible follow-up litigation, and serve as the backbone for a book I may write later. What I can place in your hands right away includes witness statements, medical records, a cache of historical threats, several recordings, and other related material. You will still have to build the master timeline yourself, cross-check every fact, and chase fresh leads through public-records requests, open-source research, and, if you deem it valuable, additional interviews. The finished work must be an in-depth investigative piece that not only recreates events but also maps out potential scenarios. I am especially interested in whether the evidence supports: • procedural failures by law enforcement • conflicts of interest that may have stalled or skewed the inquiry • alternative explanations for how and why the shooting unfolded • parallels to a previous unsolved murder that shows similar criminal behavior Deliverables • A chronological, fully-sourced timeline from the earliest precursor events to the present day • A narrative report (10–20 pages is a likely range, but depth matters more than page count) that explains the evidence, weighs competing theories, and clearly states where information is missing or contradictory • An annotated evidence index linking every assertion to documents, interviews, or public records • A concise executive summary suitable for legal or media briefings Accuracy, transparency of sourcing, and clarity of reasoning are the acceptance criteria I will use when reviewing your work. If you thrive on original digging, creative fact-finding, and rock-solid documentation, I look forward to seeing how you would approach this assignment.
