BOGUE CHITTO, Miss. (WLBT) - âIt was something about that day. I just felt like Jordan and Austin were both here with me.â
Tiffany Blackwell is talking about her son Jordan and her nephew Austin, both killed in May 2017 when convicted spree killer Cory Godbolt went on a rampage, leaving 8 people dead. At that time, both she and her daughter Alexandria let their college studies go to the wayside.
âJordan and Austin were killed, and after that I said, âI donât see a purpose in finishing school right now,ââ she said. ââI donât think itâs important.ââ
