Hi all. I keep coming back to this thread. It keeps peaking my interest. I live on the Gulf Coast and remembered hearing about a possible Louisiana serial killer and then nada. I found this. I'm sure you all have covered it upthread. I am in the process of reading/catching up. This blogspot is dedicated to the JDP8 - Jefferson Davis Parish 8 victims.
(Update 3/4/12: Episode can be viewed here)
The JDP 8 unsolved female murders will be featured on Investigation Discovery’s new series, Dark Minds on Wednesday, February 29th, 10pm (check local listing for correct time zone). The episode is titled BRUTAL BAYOU and below is the synopsis of the upcoming program:
Jennings, Louisiana is the largest city in Jefferson Davis Parish, about halfway between Houston and New Orleans. Around 11,000 people call this quiet rural town home, and nearly a third of the population lives below the poverty line.
Now, they’ve got more to worry about than just keeping food on the table… Locals think a serial killer is on the loose, and it’s got everyone on edge.
Between 2006 and 2009, 8 girls were killed and dumped on the lonely backroads of the Parish. Girls from the wrong side of the tracks… the badlands of drugs and poverty.
Whoever killed them is still out there, meaning that any day, another innocent girl could join the ranks of The Brutal Bayou murders.
The victims share two things — they were all high when they died, and many of them hung out at a party house on the seamy south side of town. But they’re different races, and they were killed in different sadistic ways. Are police sure it’s a serial killer?
