The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in solving a cold case murder from 14 years ago.

On the morning of July4, 1996, 69-year old Everett Jerome Mack was reported missing by a family member. He was reportedly last seen at his home in the 2000 block of Kelso Road near Nine Mile Road the afternoon of July 3, 1996.

    I wish the McGhee crime could be solved, I feel for her family. I wish they could get some of the profilers in on this case. The one on tv is great I believe her name is Dale. She was a cop at one time. She can tell you what type of person did this. She can usually tell if it was someone who knows the person or a stranger. I just hope this case is solved soon. Pray for this family. It seems to me the cops have forgot about her.

    I’m glad they haven’t given up.

    Quite often those who commit crimes will tell about them after a time, thinking nobody cares anymore. Or they will mention details which when added together show what happened. Eventually somebody who cares will know and might tell.

    David for justice
