BALDWIN WAS A JUDGE BEFORE TAKING THE DCMEI COURSE. A TRUE “GOOD OL’ BOY”. HTTPS://CASE-LAW.VLEX.COM/VID/AMMONS-V-BALDWIN-NO-887684596
IN 2021 WE TRIED TO CONTACT CORONER JOSH POUNDERS VIA PHONE TO ASK HIM TO CHANGE TARA’S DEATH CAUSE TO UNDETERMINED, BUT HE WOULDN’T TAKE OUR CALL. WHEN WE SENT HIM AN E-MAIL, HE BLOCKED IT. THAT’S UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT BY A COUNTY CORONER.
TARA WAS in her home with her pets. She had been shot in the non dominant side of her head.
Her body showed signs of tampering, post mortem.
Officers Thomas Jones, Stephen Hodges and Detective Brad Hylander closed and exceptionally cleared Tara’s death case
in just 4 hours.
In following days helpful, confidential information we provided to Brad Hylander went straight to Thomas Wolf who had been behaving quite suspiciously. Wolf would call us and repeat what we thought had been a private conversation.
It was also VERY concerning to have Brad Hylander quip,
“well at least she wasn’t raped.”
My daughter’s death cause was written up as a suicide, so why would sexual assault be mentioned?
We waited anxiously for the toxicology and pathology results and were devastated to learn absolutely nothing had been done! Too late. On Wolf’s orders Tara’s body had been directly cremated
by Wells Cremation within hours of her death.
We were anxious for what Brad Hylander’s investigation turned up. After total silence I called Hylander in February of 2017 and asked him the case status. He seemed surprised, “What investigation? I’m not doing one. Her case is closed. Just because you have your suspicions …doesn’t mean I have to do an investigation.”
How arrogant!
Tara’s family lived in Canada and he thought we had no idea of MS laws. Despite his dishonesty he was rewarded by the SPD and promoted to rank of Master Sergeant (!) before quitting the SPD on January 28, 2018, allegedly to run his family’s electrical business in Walls, MS with his brother, Bubba Hylander. Stephen Hodges quit the force claiming PTSD and took his service dog with him, and entertains as “Stephen Michael” in coffee houses as part of a group called “Mississhippie”. Officer Thomas Jones incident reporting was full of errors. It’s amazing he got this far in life. Poorly educated, he doesn’t know his geography and claimed to have attended at the scene
with an officer that wasn’t even there!
We heard Hylander severely underestimated
my tenacious pursuit for the truth
and wishes he had “not got involved.”
*
The Southaven Police insist my daughter took her own life despite a peer reviewed forensic bloodstain pathology report published by a well respected former Mississippi Bureau of Investigation crime lab agent
SHOWING IRREFUTABLE PROOF Of HOMICIDE.
No. This is NOT a case of incompetence or stupidity.
Besides Hylander, Jones, and Hodges, chief Steven Pirtle resigned under cloudy circumstances, and
deputy Mark Little, the most vocal in calling Tara’s death a suicide despite him having ZERO proof, retired in 2021.
Pounders and DA Champion died.
Brent Vickers, present at the death scene
not only stayed on but was promoted as police chief.
We tried to communicate with him; he ignored us.
May 20, 2025 *Seth Kern was made SPD police chief. We hoped he would be the honest one and break the chain of deceit. He was sent Second Look’s bloodstain and victimology reports showing irrefutable proof of Tara’s COD being a homicide yet Kern maintains the SPD’s status quo that Tara’s death was a suicide.
He does admit he has NO PROOF of this to show us.
Kern blames the DeSoto County Coroner’s office. Does he not realize the police and coroner have to work together?

*Kern needs to educate himself on suicide antemortem behaviours. Perhaps he should take the course offered by Second Look Training and Forensics on this subject. It’ll make him a smarter, more aware team leader.
AND INSULT TO INJURY…
IT’S A FACT THOMAS WILLIAM WOLF HAS BEEN USING TARA’S EXCELLENT CREDIT TO ACQUIRE MORTGAGES, HOMEGOODS AND VEHICLES ,
AS HIS CREDIT SCORE IS POOR.
THAT‘S CALLED IDENTITY THEFT.
AKA
FRAUD.
Thomas Wolf refused to allow Tara’s mother “or anyone” access to Wells Cremation documents.
Thomas Wolf Misdirected the Death Scene.
MANY FORMER cruise ship colleagues of Tara and Thomas were shocked, stunned, to hear that Tara had taken her own life. No one believed it. As it turns out, they were right.
*It was well known amongst the crew that Wolf would lie or ask others to lie for him as to his whereabouts.

Thomas Wolf effortlessly makes up fantastic stories he believes to be true. He is a narcissistic pathological liar. This is not name calling. It is what he is.
When we visited them in Las Vegas and Wolf worked in casino surveillance as supervisor, he would regale us with stories of how if he simply didn't like an employee, he would fire them …for no good reason. Just because he could. He would be very pleased with himself and laugh about it! We were horrified with the callousness showed by Wolf‘s admission and on many other occasions and were afraid for Tara. What had she gotten herself into, with marrying such a heartless bastard who presented himself to others as charming? These were men, with families to support, and Wolf didn’t care. However, it is interesting that when Wolf is countered, or doesn’t get his way, he will actually cry and whine like a small child. But look close; there are no tears. He has severe psychological issues. We couldn’t see what was going on in their relationship as once married, Wolf insisted on them moving far away from us. This is what domestic abusers do. They isolate their victim.
HE HAS NO CONSCIENCE, PEOPLE! THOMAS WILLIAM WOLF AKA “TOMMY” IS AS COLD BLOODED AS THEY COME, WITH NO CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS, ONLY ABOUT HIMSELF.
He cruelly poisoned his own parents, all Tara’s friends, her bio father & paternal relatives, her workplace colleagues at DeSoto Diagnostics in Southaven, police, journalists, ANYONE - against her mom and stepfather . Wolf especially spins VICIOUS LIES ABOUT HER MOM TO CREATE HATE AND DISTANCE FROM OTHERS AS SHE SEEKS ANSWERS AS TO HER DAUGHTERS SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
WHY DIDN‘T THOMAS , AS TARA’S HUSBAND, MAKE ENQUIRIES TO THE POLICE FOR JUSTICE FOR TARA FROM THE VERY BEGINNING? WHY HASN'T HE CONTACTED SECOND LOOK FORENSICS AND ASKED FOR COPIES OF THEIR DEATH INVESTIGATION?
WHY HASN’T TARA’S BIO FATHER CONTACTED SECOND LOOK AND ASKED FOR A COPY OF THEIR FORENSIC FINDINGS? THAT’S BECAUSE RAYMOND KLIMEZ HAS BEEN CONVINCED BY WOLF THAT TARA TOOK HER OWN LIFE.
Of course anyone can see that Wolf orchestrated all this in order
to deflect suspicion from himself.
We don’t know for sure who arranged her death or the persons that assaulted Tara before putting the weapon to her head (which had been held upside down) and pulled the trigger,
BUT THOMAS WOLF KNOWS.
The Southaven Police had likely never dealt with someone like Wolf before. They were simple minded, falling hook, line and sinker for his crafty lies, which has allowed Wolf (thus far) to evade scrutiny for any knowledge as to what happened to his wife. Thomas claimed he was with his brother Robert J Wolf of Clayton, NC golfing and visiting with their parents in N. Myrtle Beach SC when Tara was killed but this alibi has not been proven. James A. Wolf and Barbara (nee Dymond) Wolf had moved there a few years earlier from Howell, New Jersey.
Thomas Wolf always had his and Tara’s homes rigged with cameras in every room so he could view their household from apps on his phone anytime he wanted. He had numerous burner phones. He used VOIP. He had just installed an expensive doggie cam in their kitchen days before her death. His voyeuristic behaviour over the years was very disturbing to Tara who knew she was watched all the time.
Mere hours after her death Thomas removed Tara as his wife on his FB profile status, replacing her image with a plain grey basic avatar.
We find it very strange that the police would attend to a welfare call only on the bidding of someone when there was no emergency. Cops in a city are too busy to do that. There was no mention in the Police Incident Report of any sign of Tara being in any sort of distress so why would cops break down their front door? No one called us, her parents, to ask if she was out. The large windows on her house were open, screens on. Why not cut the screen and walk in? Why bash down a door? It is our gut feeling that at least one of the attending officers assisted Wolf. Detective Hylander betrayed our confidence and was not very forthcoming with information.
Capt. Mark Little’s actions have also been very very suspicious.
Tara adored her in-laws, James A. Wolf and his wife, Barbara. They had treated Tara kindly, yet they never reached out to her mom and step dad with condolences on Tara’s loss.
Strange behaviour.
Wolf began co-habitating with Tessia Lane Webb Mahan, “Tess” his mistress from work at Hollywood Casino Tunica, shortly after Tara died. Tara had no idea of her husband’s clandestine relationship with Mahan or she wouldn’t have been planning to use her entire savings to purchase a house with Wolf. He had pursued Mahan using sexual innuendos at their common workplace.
Wolf collected Tara’s accident award monies plus other monies from Tara’s estate and purchased cars, furnishings plus motorcycles and a large brick house in Southaven where he moved Tess Mahan and her three children in. This house on Champion Hills was very close to the house of Tara’s death scene on N. Hartland Drive! They all then enjoyed the things we had gifted Tara and Thomas over the years. We wonder what lies Wolf told Mahan and her kids about what had happened to his wife? Thomas and Tess married in a splashy ceremony at Hollywood Casino but that didn’t last. She caught him cheating on her. Distraught, she tried to overdose but a relative of hers intervened. Wolf never attended to her side until the end of his work shift. He didn’tneed to as that house too, was loaded with c.c.cameras…so he was remotely monitoring the drama in the house anyways. You can see Tess’s booking mugshot from the DUI from that day in 2021 she found out, on this site. Wolf split up with her and sold this house and moved to work at King’s Mountain -an aboriginal casino in NC. We heard he left his rental house at Crowders in a shambles and didn’t get his damage deposit back when he exited that house to move into a new built house a few miles away. It is very modest: a far cry from the very beautiful custom built home he had owned with Tara when they lived in Las Vegas. Wolf has imploded. He has free fallen to nothing by his own dirty deeds.You can say he has lost everything…that’s because things given to him that he hadn’t worked hard for, or even the love Tara gave him, he didn’t respect. They are all gone.
Easy come, easy go. WOMEN BEWARE.
The Wolf family know their son’s devious habits very well.
THIS IS WHY THEIR SILENCE SPEAKS VOLUMES. JAMES A WOLF AND BARBARA WOLF ARE COMPLICIT IN WITHHOLDING HELPFUL INFORMATION ABOUT TARA’S DEATH THAT COULD LEAD TO SEEING JUSTICE FOR TARA.

Tara’s staged death case is examined in Arthur Chancellor’s book ‘EQUIVOCAL DEATH‘ the latest in his series to help train law enforcement when processing death scenes. Chancellor’s books are well researched and written so they sell out fast. Order your copy on Amazon today and witness for yourself the scene anomalies the Southaven Mississippi cops ignored. It’s shocking.
TARA LOVED TOMMY.
4 DAYS BEFORE HER DEATH WAS WOLF’S BIRTHDAY. THE MANY PRESENTS FOR HIM WERE CHOSEN WITH LOVE.
COLLEAGUES IN LAS VEGAS, MEMPHIS AND SOUTHAVEN TOLD US THEY DIDN’T BELIEVE TARA TOOK HER OWN LIFE, AND WOLF HAD BEEN QUITE ABUSIVE TO TARA. SHE COMPLAINED TO US THAT WOLF ABUSED HER FINANCIALLY, TAKING HER PAYCHEQUES FOR HIM

4 DAYS BEFORE HER DEATH WAS WOLF’S BIRTHDAY. THE MANY PRESENTS FOR HIM WERE CHOSEN WITH LOVE.
COLLEAGUES IN LAS VEGAS, MEMPHIS AND SOUTHAVEN TOLD US THEY DIDN’T BELIEVE TARA TOOK HER OWN LIFE, AND WOLF HAD BEEN QUITE ABUSIVE TO TARA. SHE COMPLAINED TO US THAT WOLF ABUSED HER FINANCIALLY, TAKING HER PAYCHEQUES FOR HIMSELF, LEAVING HER WITH NO MONEY. SHE HAD TO ASK FIRST IF SHE COULD BUY THINGS EVEN FROM DOLLARTREE.
WOLF EXHIBITED OTHER SICK BEHAVIOUR. WE WITNESSED HIM CRYING LIKE A CHILD IF HE DIDN‘T GET HIS OWN WAY.
WOLF WORKS IN CASINO SURVEILLANCE. LAS VEGAS, HOLLYWOOD CASINO TUNICA, KINGS MOUNTAIN NC, HE ENJOYS BEING A VOYEUR. HE‘D INSTALLED CAMERAS IN ALL THE HOUSES HE‘D LIVED IN WITH TARA SO HE COULD WATCH HER AND ANY GUESTS FROM HIS PHONE. TARA VERY MUCH DISLIKED THIS.
SO, IT’S ODD WOLF SAID HE HADN'T SEEN TARA IN THEIR HOUSE FOR 10 HOURS …
HE ALWAYS KNEW WHERE SHE WAS.
TARA HAD FUTURE PLANS!
SHE BROUGHT HER VIOLIN BACK TO SOUTHAVEN AFTER HER VISIT HOME IN CANADA, PLANNING TO TRADE IT UP AND RESUME LESSONS. AS A YOUNGSTER, SHE’D BEEN THE WINNER FOR HER AGE GROUP IN THE ADJUDICATED KIWANIS MUSIC FESTIVAL.
TARA WAS RAISED CATHOLIC. SHE WAS A NATURAL IN HELPING PEOPLE AS SHE GENUINELY CARED.
TARA WAS A LONG TIME BLOOD DONOR AND HAD VOLUNTEERED IN HOSPICE CARE. SHE HELPED PATIENTS WRITE LAST LETTERS; BRINGING THEM BLANKETS, ICE CHIPS, COMFORTING THEM. SHE HELD THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO DIDN’T HAVE CLOSE FAMILY OR FRIENDS AS THEY BEGAN
TARA WAS RAISED CATHOLIC. SHE WAS A NATURAL IN HELPING PEOPLE AS SHE GENUINELY CARED.
TARA WAS A LONG TIME BLOOD DONOR AND HAD VOLUNTEERED IN HOSPICE CARE. SHE HELPED PATIENTS WRITE LAST LETTERS; BRINGING THEM BLANKETS, ICE CHIPS, COMFORTING THEM. SHE HELD THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO DIDN’T HAVE CLOSE FAMILY OR FRIENDS AS THEY BEGAN TO TRANSITION FROM THIS WORLD AND DIDN’T LET GO UNTIL THEY WERE PRONOUNCED DECEASED. TARA BELIEVED NO ONE SHOULD LEAVE THIS EARTH ALONE.
SHE DIDN’T. THE PERPETRATOR(S) WERE IN THE ROOM WITH HER.
SINCE TARA’S DEATH IT HAS BEEN SAD FOR US TO SEE PEOPLE THAT OUR DAUGHTER HAD REGARDED AS HER CLOSE FAMILY AND FRIENDS
LET HER DOWN.
