Remains of Tennessee's Holly Bobo found; Who's missing in Mississippi?

A Tennessee family can now lay their daughter to rest.
Late Monday, authorities confirmed via Twitter that the remains of nursing student Holly Bobo, who has been missing almost three and a half years, were found in the woods in Decatur County, Tennessee.
USA Today reports that two men were looking for ginseng in the woods Sunday morning when they discovered a human skull and contacted the Sheriff's Department.
Zachary Adams and Jason Autry were indicted earlier this year for kidnapping and murder in connection with Bobo's disappearance, But TBI Director Mark Gwyn said at a press conference that the investigation into Bobo's disappearance and death are not finished.
In July, a woman testified in a preliminary hearing in the case that she had seen a cellphone video that appeared to show Adams, along with Bobo tied up and crying, WSMV-4 reported.
Bobo was last seen alive by her brother shortly before 8 am walking into the woods outside her home in Darden, Tennessee with a man wearing camouflage.
Brothers Mark Pearcy and Jeffrey Kurt Pearcy were arrested in May and charged with tampering with evidence and accessory after the fact.
In spite of the national attention, it took investigators some time to track down the leads needed to find out what happeend to Bobo. That's not uncommon when someone seems to have disappeared into thin air.
Mississippi has several open cases of missing persons that currently are stumping investigators. Here are some of the recent ones.
