Latasha Norman, a quiet and serious student at her friends' eyes was a 20-year-old black student majoring in accounting at the historically black university Jackson State University in Mississippi. She disappeared on November 13 after attending her afternoon class on the day. Her car was left on the campus and the license plate had been torn. Even since, Latasha Norman was not seen until her decomposed body was found on November 29 in the woods off Brown Street near County Line Road in north Jackson after police followed interview info provided by Norman's former boyfriend Stanley Dwayne Cole.
According to Blackamericaweb.com, some, even Jackson law enforcement officials, had complained that the case did not garner the type of national media attention typically seen when white women come up missing.

Stanley Cole, 24, also a student of Jackson State University, who allegedly had struck Latasha in the face with his fist in October was arrested yesterday morning when he appeared in a Pearl, Mississippi courtroom on charges of simple battery. Stanley Cole, now charged with murder, is detained in the Jackson jail, being held without bond in connection with Lathasha Norman's death.
Blackamericaweb.com reported that today at Jackson State University, all classes have been cancelled and a memorial service for Norman is set for Monday at noon in the Rose Emily McCoy Auditorium.
