OXFORD, MS- (WMC-TV) - Art students at Ole Miss have a mystery on their hands. They have two collages that could be from Picasso, and they are, they could be worth millions.

Ole Miss students are busy testing two pieces that could have been done by Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris, two famous artists from the 1900s. If the collages are a match, they could be worth between $20 million and $30 million.

"You sneeze the wrong way, you brush up against it, anything like that can be really, really nervewracking," said student Caleb Ezell.

Signature patterns appear to be similar and newspaper clippings in the collages reflect what would have been going on in the time period. The students and professors at Ole Miss are testing to find out if there could be a match.

OXFORD, MS- (WMC-TV) - A mother wants justice in the death of her two children, who were killed in an accident in Oxford last year.

Frances Wheat filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the man suspected of driving drunk, causing the crash that killed her kids. The lawsuit also names the man's parents.

Sarah and John Wheat died when police say John Howard Strickland, Jr. crossed the median and hit their car in late October 2012. Toxicology results showed alcohol and other illegal substances in his system.

Strickland is charged with two counts of aggravated DUI.

In the wrongful death lawsuit, Strickland's parents are also named as defendants because documents allege they entrusted their son with a vehicle knowing he had a previous DUI conviction from January 2012

The Strickland's law firm in Jackson, Mississippi did not return Action News 5's phone calls on Friday, but in the response to the lawsuit, they denied the claims.
