The death of a young black man in southern Mississippi has police and community trying to determine if the teen took his own life, or was lynched. 17-year-old Raynard Johnson was found hanging from a tree in his family's front yard last month. But two autopsies showed no signs of struggle or harm prior to his death. Jacki talks to John DeSantis of the Biloxi Sun Herald about why authorities believe it was a suicide, and why many in the community think investigators haven't taken the case seriously enough.
