Michael Lane Mosely, a 32‑year‑old white male from Lauderdale County, Mississippi, was last seen alive on **June 24, 2015** in Lauderdale. According to records from NamUs his date of last contact is listed as June 24, 2015, with no subsequent confirmed sightings. Two separate databases confirm his age as 32 at the time, with a height around 5 ft 8 in and weight approximately 180 lb, brown hair and blue eyes.
Following his disappearance, an investigation was launched by the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office. In **September 2015**, four individuals were arrested and charged in connection with his presumed murder: two women, Mindy Brooke Weaver and Megan Rena Alexander, were arrested for accessory after the fact; Shaun Michael Gibbs was charged with murder; and Jason Naylor was also subsequently charged with murder later that year.
For years no trace of Mosely was found. That changed in **January 2024**, when human remains were discovered in the Dalewood community of Lauderdale County by a local resident’s dog. These remains were subjected to DNA testing, which positively identified them as belonging to Michael Lane Mosely. Sheriff Ward Calhoun confirmed the identification and stated that investigators believe he died as a result of foul play, and that his case had long been treated as a suspected homicide.
Following the recovery of the remains, authorities conducted three extensive searches in the area, using grid‑search techniques and cadaver dogs, but no additional remains were found. The case remains an open investigation. Sheriff Calhoun noted that investigators will continue coordinating with the district attorney’s office to determine next steps on the charges that had previously been filed. Mosely’s family was formally notified of the DNA-confirmed identification in late February 2024, and investigators expressed hope that this development might offer some closure.
This case remains active and ongoing. Community members and anyone with information are encouraged to contact the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office at 601‑482‑9806 or East Mississippi Crime Stoppers at 855‑485‑8477 with tips regarding what happened to Michael Lane Mosely in late June 2015.
