POSSIBLE ICAMPUS LYNCHING AWAKENS SOUTH'S DARK PAST

Calls for deeper investigation into student's mystery death

- 

THE gruesome discovery of the body of a promising young African American student hanging from a tree on a university campus in America's Deep South has awakened ghosts of the region's troubled racial past — with some fearing he may have been the victim of a horrifying lynching, concerned sources say.

In an exclusive interview with The National ENQUIRER, Dee Moye, a spokesperson for the grieving family of Demartravion “Trey” Reed, says the 21-year-old’s death on Delta State University’s campus in Cleveland, Miss. — just miles from where 14-year-old Emmett Till was infamously lynched in 1955 for offending a white woman — has led to demands for an independent investigation and a new autopsy.
