Deputies say the body could be that of a man wanted for kidnapping, rape and attempted murder. The body was found off Louisiana Highway 96.
Maj. Ginny Higgins, public information officer, said investigators believe dead man is 29-year-old Jules David Mallery, a suspect in the four crimes.
Does anyone know about this? How far is St. Martin Parish from Jennings? Now we have a perp in a different case turning up in a ditch?
This might be why there's not much movement on the investigation - This was written in 2004 I think (after reading it and doing some math), so I don't know how much things have changed. In this article, base rate of a new police officer is listed as $6.67 an hour - it would have had to be adjusted for minimum wage...but, still, who could live on that? and why should you have to as a trained police officer?
I suppose this really is not directly pertinent to the investigation, but to me it makes it easy to see why the investigation appears to be going nowhere. And, also, it really does make one wonder how the cop managed to save $9000 for that truck.

That's outrageous $6.67 an hour! Yeah re $9000...must be 2 income family for sure.
Jennings is only about 35 miles away from St. Martin Parish. I wonder if this perp didn't commit suicide? It looks like he got on I 49 north from Lafayette and did himself in since he was wanted/ID'd. I also think his St. Martinville crime was messy and not the same MO as Jennings or the Alexandria murders.
The residents should be glad he didn't get a chance to cause more damage than he already has. Sounds like he was a budding serial killer but fortunately very stupid.

im not sure if any of you know but another girl from jennings is missing. I cant find the link yet but I saw it on local news. When i can find it I will post it up
Just curious...since the local media seems to be so hush hush, does anyone know what kind of evidence has been found with these poor womens bodies?
dna, items, etc. I read on another crime blog that a cell phone was found, but it didn't belong to the victim and that a couple of hunters spotted some guy near where the last young victim was found and he tried to "hide" when they saw him.
IMO they need to put out the type of car this guy who was hiding was driving and flush him out. Come on, a town of 10,000 and 7 girls in the same neighborhood die, that insane!
It has to be some dealer or someone they all knew.
Also, I read where a few women had there throats cut, just like the latest victim in Lafayette (though I am not convinced she is linked, she had an abusive husband)...what about the other women, any ideas on how they died? Anyone know if they were raped? If they were (as I suspect) then I would be looking at any guy in the area convicted of rape in the past.
Bolding mine."Serial killing is not a crime. Murder is. That's what's used in court. One was too many, seven is too many. I'm going to continue working these cases individually and collectively. We're going to continue working so that if there are links, we put that puzzle together.
Jeff Davis Sheriff Ricky Edwards will hold a press conference at 2 p.m. today on the steps of the parish courthouse.
Edwards did not elaborate on the nature of the press conference. He did say, however, that the Sheriff's Office has not arrested anyone in relation to the deaths.
"We're going to announce some things that we're looking for," he said.
