I made this post on the InSession board and wanted to post it here as well. I sense that Brittney's murder had a different motive than the other killings. According to an 11/16/08 article in the Lafayette Daily Advertiser ( by Tina Marie Macias tmacias@theadvertiser.com) Brittney Gary and her family had returned to Jennings less than a week earlier after living with family in Houston and Lufkin, Texas, for four months. So they were not away from Jennings very long at all.
To me, this murder seems almost a "warning kill" for lack of a better term. The private investigator, Kirk Menard, was hired on or about Monday, Oct 27th per his post here. Brittney goes missing a week later on Sun, Nov 2nd. So basically, the PI is hired about the same time the Gary's returned to Jennings. It's as if the killer was sending a message to those that might have valuable information about the murders that they had better keep their mouths shut.
