Hmm, close to my neck of the sticks. My car once broke down in front of a gas station in Welsh. Nearly got arrested for solicitation??? Old woman, border collie & younger helper, yeah, really, because it took over an hour for us to get a ride back to the town where I live, 20 minutes away. AAA asked if I could 'get a taxi?' Rural southwestern Louisiana?

But a skeleton in that area? Makes me think if there's a connection to the other horrible murders of girls left in out of the way places. Guess I'll be hanging around post office & having my helper call her friends at sherrif's office. Knowing this parish, it will be a while before any results are in, but everyone between Iowa, La and Gueydan will know first.

Why would the United States Postal Investigative Services be handling an investigation such as this?

My guess is mail delivery person saw something..if you went on MSM for Welsh or J D parish there's already someone posting. Very small area everyone knows everyone. Welsh has been called a hot mess by locals for a long time.

Jeff Davis Parish authorities said skeletal remains were found Thursday in a wooded area off Oilfield Road near Lacassine.

DNA testing will be done to identity the remains, which were found by a federal agency following leads on a missing-person report from Texas, Sheriff Ivy Woods said Friday.

BBM. Very interesting. Are there any missing persons from Texas that we know have a LA connection?

I posted to a few threads but Gayla Trenice Roy looks like a good possible for these remains-- read her thread here:

No updates?? There's a a city of Harahan (LA) police car near JD courthouse. Anyone missing from River Road parishes?

 

[GDUD]

Are there any updates today?

 

[Lorianne]

There is another missing man from Texarkana. Missing since July I believe.

 

[Jeepguy79]

That area has had 20+ unsolved homicides since like 95.

Harahan??? That's super odd. Harahan is my neighbor. Tiny tiny tiny and has its own police force. Their jurisdiction is only Harahan! We joke that they are only good for traffic tickets cause they honestly don't have much else to do in Harahan. The occasional car break in. They assist with traffic getting out of church. Why would Harahan be in Jefferson Davis parish?

Texas postal employee charged in connection with body found in Jeff Davis Parish

Little information was known about the situation when the U.S. Postal Service's Investigative Unit located the body on Oilfield Road, just south of I-10 in Jeff Davis Parish.

Last week, Don Gaines was charged in federal court with kidnapping a woman, whom he then transported from Texas to Louisiana and killed, according to information from the U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Texas.

Ex-Postal Worker Accused of Kidnapping Could Face Death Penalty

A Houston man prosecutors say admitted to shooting the mother of two of his sons in the head and leaving her body in woods along a Louisiana interstate made his initial appearance Wednesday in a federal courtroom for a kidnapping charge that carries a possible death sentence.

Don Kentrell Gaines, 30, worked at a U.S. Postal Service distribution center in Houston with Gayla Roy, his former girlfriend with whom he fathered two sons, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.

Found Deceased - TX - Gayla Roy, 28, Houston, 11 Sept 2017 *Arrest*

YOU WERE RIGHT!!!!!! Had you ever sent in that info?

I did not. I think LE had an idea of who she was from the beginning. Especially since it says in the first post of this thread: "The United States Postal Investigative Service's is handling the investigation." I have never seen a case where the USPO investigates human remains. Now we know for future cases-- if the Post Office is investigating there is most likely an employee involved. JMO.
OT: I wish the Postal Investigators would solve the case of missing Kierra Coles next.
