A woman is set to sue a construction company for accidentally demolishing her house.
Jennifer Pulliam from Leaksville, Mississippi, was left devastated when she found out the home that had been in her family since the 1960s had been torn down in January.
She told WKRG: “I moved here when I was approximately 10 years old. This is my grandparent’s old homeplace. They bought it in 1965 and it’s been in our family ever since.”
After finding out through a family member that the house had been demolished, she said: “I cried for two days, I was devastated.”
As for who was responsible, Jennifer was at a loss when it came to finding out who destroyed her family home.
But this all changed when other family members spotted the initial coverage on WKRG and got in touch with the name of a construction company seen on the property that January.
When she contacted a Mobile Police investigator, they reached out to the construction company, who have not been named.
The owner admitted to demolishing the house, saying it was a mistake.
Jennifer is now taking legal action and is intending to file a lawsuit, choosing not to name the company as recommended by her attorney.
