We, the undersigned, are deeply troubled by the untimely and suspicious death of James Cooper, a 23-year-old Wisconsin native who had recently relocated to Mississippi because his girlfriend had told him that doctors told her she had a heart condition and she had about one month left to live (which was not true). In less than two weeks, he was tragically found hanging from a pole under circumstances that demand a thorough and impartial investigation.

The chain of events leading to James's demise is riddled with troubling inconsistencies and questionable actions:

Last Moments with girlfriend: James was last seen walking out the backdoor of the apartment where he was living, following a disagreement with his girlfriend on May 8th, 2023.

Misleading Statements: A witness has come forward saying that when they went to this girlfriend and expressed their concern that James was missing, the girlfriend assured them that she had spoken to James’ mother and that she had said that James had supposedly texted his mother, claiming to be in the woods by water with his duffel bag planning to end his own life. However, this was later revealed to be a falsehood, as there was no communication between this girlfriend and James's mother until after James body was found.

Discovery of the Body: Two days later, James was discovered hanging from a pole with a zip tie on his finger and with nothing around for him to step on to get up the pole to hang himself, in line with the location of where the girlfriend had previously mentioned. Suspicion also arises from her refusal to provide James's mother's contact information during his absence and even after his tragic death.

Questionable Investigative Handling: The Investigators swiftly ruled James's death as a suicide, despite the existence of concerning contradictions in the case. This conclusion was reached with only a visual examination.

James's Demeanor: It is crucial to note that James exhibited no signs of being suicidal. He had plans for that very day, including obtaining his ID, and had secured a new job, a haircut appointment for the next day, and plans to move into his own apartment later that week. (He did not know that this girlfriend had already told the landlord that she no longer wanted the apartment PRIOR to his death). 

Inconsistent Evidence: James was discovered with cords of wire wrapped around his neck, similar to those found on telephone poles. The method of binding, the type of wire, and the position in which he was found in a sitting manner on the ground rather than hanging, all point to suspicious circumstances. It is highly improbable that an individual, could have accomplished this act alone.

There is actually more evidence of foul play that we can not reveal at this time.

James's untimely and suspicious death has left us with grave concerns. We believe that a comprehensive, transparent, and impartial investigation is required to uncover the truth and deliver justice to James and his grieving family.

This petition demands the following actions:

Federal Investigation: We call for a Federal investigation into the circumstances of James Cooper's death, which should include a thorough examination of the local Sheriff’s conduct, as well as the legitimacy and qualifications of the medical examiner involved.

Accountability: All parties involved in this case, including the alleged girlfriend and any others connected to this tragedy, should be held accountable for their actions or omissions. This will send a resounding message that such crimes will not go unpunished, ensuring that potential wrongdoers are not emboldened by the lack of justice.

We insist on a full and impartial investigation into the troubling circumstances surrounding James Cooper's death to ensure that justice is served and the truth prevails. We must not ignore this tragic event and must do all in our power to bring those responsible to account.
