Cox was a commercial truck driver until the day when he sustained a back injury and began to receive disability payments and used to inhale methamphetamine.
Kirk claimed that her stepfather, David, has sexually harassed her for some years while her mother was away from home, but was really afraid to inform anybody as she was threatened by Neal Cox.
In thy summer of 2009, Lindsey Kirk emailed her mother and informed her about Cox’s wrongdoing. Quickly after that, David was booked into the jail in North Mississippi.
He was charged with child abuse, possession of methamphetamine, and statutory rape, but was freed from prison without facing charges in April 2010.
