Human trafficking is dominating headlines around the world — dramatic rescues, sweeping arrests, viral claims. But what does human trafficking actually look like here in Mississippi?

On tonight’s episode of Investigation: Homicide, hosts Therese Apel and Amanda Johansson sit down with Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch and Favian Jones, the supervisor of her Human Trafficking Task Force, for a grounded, no-nonsense conversation about the realities behind the rhetoric.

They break down how trafficking cases really begin, who is most at risk in the Magnolia State, and why some of the most popular narratives can distract from identifying and helping real victims. The discussion also puts large-scale national and international trafficking stories into context — showing where they align with local cases, where they don’t, and why that distinction matters.

If you’re looking to separate fact from fiction and understand what Mississippians should truly be paying attention to, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
