I just got off the phone with a Mississippi investigator. He was calling from a phone recovered at a homicide and asked me how I knew Kathryn McMillan. It was Kathyrn's phone.
As the investigation is still on-going he was somewhat 'caged' with his information, but here is what I wrote down:
Approx. one month ago Kathyrn was 140mi NE of her home getting gas in Chulahoma, MS. There was an attempted robbery with shots fired from both parties. Kathyrn was hit in the head but managed to get into the nearby woods where she succumbed to her injuries. The perpetrators have been arrested.
The last time I spoke with Kats was over a month ago. She called to tell me she was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer and was very upset. Prior to that diagnosis we spoke semi-regularly. She was excited about her new job as Chief of Police in Southhaven and I was helping her choose a house to buy.
Just tried Googling to find out more online, but I'm coming up empty. She was a good player, a good person, and a good police officer. If anyone can get more intel, please post it here.

Very Sorry to hear this. I was thinking something was up, as she played here often, and hadnt been around in a while. Prayers go out to her, and her family. Kats was a joy to play with, and will be missed. RIP Kats

I am saddened by our collective loss as well as that of Kat's family. It is troubling to me to hear of someone, who's sole purpose in life was to help others, that is taken from us all so quickly. RIP!

I am very saddened by this. I enjoyed her company on the server. In game, as in life it seems, she was quick to rush in to try to get the job done and she seemed undaunted by the odds against her.
I will miss her presence and sharing some tunes and conversation. RIP Kats. I will miss you.

A search brought up this story about Kats. I think it describes her well re: her kindness and drive to help others. Stranded motoristThe haunting question is why does bad things happen to good people? The World is a poorer place without her. We need many more like her in this World. I nominate her for Angel of the Army for sure. We were all privileged to have known her. Here's a copy-and-paste link wjtv.com/2015/07/22/stranded-motorist-saved-by-a-simpson-county-deputy/

The link above doesn't work, whatever links we give goes to a redirect, even if I tried the link option, just search - "Stranded motorist saved by a Simpson County deputy" first couple listings has news videos.
Surprisingly haven't come across any news about this on the net

Wow I don't know what to say but wow... I'm so glad she came back after she left forum so quickly because we had chance to show her how much we appreciated the good person she was. She'll be missed. I didnt know her that much but the little interactions I had with her revealed she was a great person. Great heart and very dedicated to her work and to others. She's a hero to me. Her memory will never be forgotten. Rest in peace dear kat and i'll send all my best thoughts to your family and friends.

Uggh, horrible.
About a month prior to my hiatus, she was telling me about her injuries from another incident that she had to endure. Tragic sequence of events indeed.
She and I had many many 1vs1 spars early on in the days back then. Good talks and fragging-about while waiting for others to join.
Glad I got to know her a bit, and sad to see anyone go before their time... She's one of my two Followers in the forums )-;
We'll see you at the great ET LAN party in the sky KATS, and I hope the perp gets his...

Any updates on this? I can't find any story on this senseless act. It seems like it would make national news for a law enforcement officer to get attacked like this. I think I need more closure.

This is indeed sad..and well I dont know what to think, but I do know she was not chief of police in Southaven, nor was she about to be..I'm sure more on this will come to light at some point.

Really? Hmm. I hate to say it but I'm starting to see where Scout is coming from. It's been long enough there should be an obituary somewhere or at least a police report right? I couldn't find anything either.

We've been KATfished.... LOL What a jerk. It truly is sad that she felt that she had to do that in order to be accepted by the most amazing group of people I've ever known. Her loss.
