According to investigators, a homeowner on Highway 503 near Heidelberg found one of the monkeys on his property on November 2, 2025. They said the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks (MDWFP) responded to the scene, and the monkey is now in their possession.
At least two monkeys are still missing after a truck crashed in Jasper County on October 28, 2025. The crash occurred on Interstate 59 north of Heidelberg. Bait and traps have been placed along the wreck site.
Jasper County Sheriff Randy Johnson said the driver of the truck initially told his deputies the monkeys were carrying infectious diseases, including hepatitis. Tulane University, which originally housed the animals, stated the monkeys were free of pathogens.
Five of the 21 Rhesus macaques on board were killed after they escaped from the vehicle, according to authorities.
Anyone who sees one of the escaped monkeys can call the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office or 1-800-BE-SMART.
