On the evening of August 21, 1989, Norman Ladner, a 17 year-old high school student, went hunting on his family’s property in Picayune, Mississippi. When Norman didn’t return by 7:00 pm, his parents grew concerned and went looking for him. Ultimately, Norman was found in the woods, dead from a single gunshot wound to the temple. A coroner and a medical examiner ultimately ruled that Norman had committed suicide. However, his parents have adamantly denied this possibility, and maintain that he was murdered. It’s been over 34 years since Norman died, and his loved ones are still searching for answers... If you have any information on Norman’s death, please call the Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers: 1-877-787-5989.
