LIBERTY COUNTY, Ga. – A 72-year-old Jacksonville woman who had been missing for more than a week was found dead in Georgia, according to an update from the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office.

Margaret Hanley, a Navy veteran, was last seen Monday, Feb. 8, according to her family.

The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office later announced that Hanley’s vehicle, which her son said was a 2001 Toyota RAV4, was found off a road in Hinesville, Georgia, stuck in the mud. Hinesville is about an hour southwest of Savannah in Liberty County

Investigators said a body found by the vehicle was confirmed to be Hanley, and her family has been notified.

Hanley’s son, Jomo Thompson, previously said his mother had been dealing with short-term memory loss. He suspected she might have been the victim of a scam after noticing unusual bank account activity, including checks written out to a person for large amounts.

“My mom is very frugal, so that’s cause for alarm,” Thompson said.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said Hanley’s last known location was identified in Georgia.

Thompson said that was concerning because his mother usually didn’t travel farther than the local Walmart. He added he isn’t familiar with anyone she might know in Georgia.

The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office said this remains an active and ongoing investigation, and Hanley’s vehicle has been secured and will be impounded.

JSO said a Silver Alert was not issued for Hanley because she was last identified in Georgia.

JSO said it reached out for assistance in Georgia and shared information through the National Crime Information Center. They also issued a “Be on the Lookout” alert in Liberty County, where Hanley was last seen.

For all his bluster about voter fraud, Elon Musk has been one of the most flagrant flaunters of US election law. Now his America PAC has been slapped with a reprimand by the Georgia State Election Board for sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications. State law prohibits anyone, other than an authorized relative, from sending an absentee ballot application prefilled with the elector’s information.

Residents of Chattooga, Cherokee, Coweta, Floyd, and Whitfield counties reported receiving absentee ballot applications from America PAC, partially pre-filled. According to the State Election Board, the applications also failed to note that they were not actual ballots and were not provided by the government, as is required by law.

At the State Election Board meeting on February 18th, the panel quickly handed down the reprimand. America PAC did not appear to send a representative or submit a statement in defense of its actions.

This is just the latest example of Musk testing the limits of election law after he repeatedly suggested paying people to sign a petition and register to vote in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and other swing states. It’s also another incident in which those who claim to be most concerned about election integrity have been caught potentially violating the law.

Indiana Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza had a legendary stint with the Hoosiers, winning the Heisman trophy and leading the Hoosiers to their first national championship victory in franchise history. However, Mendoza was extremely close to being a Georgia Bulldog, according to a recent interview he had with The Ticket.

“I think there was one time even where I was about to call Kirby to commit to Georgia and the call didn’t go through,” said Mendoza. “And I thought, ‘Alright, let me sleep on it tonight.’ I really believed God helped me with that.”

Georgia was in transition at quarterback during the 2025 offseason. Incumbent starter Carson Beck transferred to the Miami Hurricanes on Jan. 10, 2025, and the team was deciding whether to start Gunner Stockton or sign a transfer out of the portal. They were pursuing a couple of quarterbacks, especially Fernando Mendoza, who showed some legit upside coming out of the California Golden Bears.

Mendoza ended up committing to Indiana, and it revitalized his career. He won the Heisman, led the Hoosiers to the national championship, and is projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. He actually beat former Georgia starter Carson Beck in the national championship too, showing just how close Georgia was to acquiring a championship-level quarterback.
