Hometown Dirty Little Secret is brought to national attention

Is there a serial killer in my small home parish?
Just over a month ago, the body of the eighth murder victim was found just over Parish lines along side I-10. The other bodies of the young ladies were found in deserted country gravel roads. All of these women led "RISKY" live styles, as they lived on the streets and had drug addictions. Some of the women were not even reported missing when their bodies were found weeks after death in some cases. Despite their drug habits, these women were sisters, and daughters and friends of people. I did not know any of them, but the fact that they were drug addicts does not mean that their lives were not worthy, or that they deserved to die.
Recently, a crew began filming a documentary on the "serial killer" . Local TV news channels have run several news stories on the murders.

A multi agency task force has been formed to investigate the mysterious deaths of the 8 women from Jeff Davis. It recently releasted this news release:



The multi-agency task force comprised of Acadia, Calcasieu and Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff's Offices, Jennings Police Department, 15 th & 31st District Attorney's offices, La State Police Region 2 CID investigators/ Lake Charles, La Attorney General's Office, and the FBI continue to aggressively investigate the murders of several women from the Jennings area.

The task force continues to seek information from the public, and will continue to share as much information as possible with the public about these investigations without jeopardizing the investigation or prosecution due to recent media coverage and news releases, resulting in enhanced public awareness and combined with the sustained efforts of the task force, it is likely that the offender may have altered his behavior, habits and/or practices.

The following are additional examples of such changes possibly made by the offender:

Te offender may have recently left the Jennings area, possibly in an abrupt manner, with no indication of prior planning.

The offender may have recently discontinued his contact with the area of Jennings formerly frequented by the victims.

The offender may have recently altered his physical appearance.

The offender may have altered the appearance of his vehicle, e.g., having his vehicle painted.

The Task Force encourages anyone with information to contact them at 337-824-6662. Even if it is thought that the information is unimportant or has been previously reported to law enforcement, please call: " Yours may be the call that saves lives."
