The Car That Held a Tragedy | Jackson News

A hauntingly preserved piece of criminal history: the 1986 Toyota MR2 tied to the 1992 murders of Jon Steckler and Tiffany Miller, now owned by retired sheriff George Carrithers. Used by convicted killer Willie Manning to transport victims from a Mississippi State University frat house to their grisly deaths, the car was once meticulously searched for fingerprints—none of Manning’s found, despite dozens of others—including the victims’. Carrithers, who worked the case with the former sheriff, took possession after two years on the lot, restoring it himself at great personal cost, and now lets his grandson drive it—a symbol of unresolved grief and justice delayed. Tiffany’s mother even approved its new home, finding peace in its meaningful custody. The car remains a chilling relic, a silent witness to tragedy and a stubborn reminder that justice, for some, still feels out of reach.
