First 3 vitims found in CANALS.
Second 3 victims found on ROADS.
Victims 1, 2 and 6 associated with fast food facilities.
Mother of missing 7th presumed victim knew all victims, worked in fast food industry.
Both African American victims had throats slit.
News articles found in "Information" thread here state that "all were found with high levels of alcohol and cocaine in their system" and all were known to "trade sex for drugs". This was stated before Brittany was found, so she is not included in "all".
All were residents of the south side of Jennings. ( I assume this means south of the RR tracks.)
Only 2-3 have been classified as homicides. Assume that Ernestine Lewis and Laconia Brown are 2 so classified, since their throats were slit. No information on identity of 3rd homicide victim.
All except Laconia Brown were found in advanced stages of decomposition. None died where they were found.
Authorities suspect drug connection to all victims.
Ages: 17,21,23,24,26,29,30.
Dates of body discovery: 5/05; 6/05; 3/07; 5/07; 5/08; 9/08; 11/08.
Brittany would have been 13 when first victims, Loretta (29) and Ernestine (30), were murdered and 16 when her best friend Muggy (23) was murdered.

I have been reading about this case all day and have a little bit of info for this list. Betty Jean Chaisson is listed in the obituaries on 3/6/2008, in the Jennings Daily News. She is the first victim's mother. There is a lot of info in the obit on her relatives.
I will get you the link I also found a step-mother's obit right around the same period of time in the Jennings Daily News. Strange, both of the mom's were very young to pass away. I am reading and reading on this because it is very familiar to me after the Baton Rouge seriial killer case.
I need to go back over the Terms of Service for Websleuths to see what we can post and what we can't. I forgot about full names, etc., as I haven't read them in so long. If you want, I can just pm you the info to post with the links where I found the info till I get more comfortable with what is allowed and what is not.
The first obit for, I believe mom, is www.jenningsdailynews.net/obitsarch.php?id=310
This link is for the step-mom's obit, www.jenningsdailynews.net/obitsarch.php?id=147

TopGunner - thanks for posting the photos!
Thank you for ALL your efforts here!
I didn't mean to stop at 2, but got side-tracked. I'll try to post more later today.:blowkiss:
I have been researching families of the victims and came across this. I thought this was very strange as it was all within a very short period of time. What do you think?
Deaths of mothers of victims and one suspect:
1/2/08 Loretta Lynn Chaisson Lewis mother - Patricia Ann Deshotel LaCombe (50) passed away. http://www.jenningsdailynews.net/obitsarch.php?id=147
2/26/08 Whitnei Dubois - mother - Dorothy Lee Debois (__) passed away. http://www.jenningsdailynews.net/obitsarch.php?id=284#
3/6/08 Loretta Lynn Chaisson Lewis - step mother - Betty Jean Chaisson (48) passed away. http://www.jenningsdailynews.net/obitsarch.php?id=310
3/28/08 Hannah Conner (SUSPECT) - mother - Pamela LeJeune Landry(41) passed away. http://www.jenningsdailynews.net/obitsarch.php?id=342
Does this seem strange to anyone besides me?

Suejay - I find it very strange indeed. Thank you for this sleuthing of family members!
The date of deaths are 12/31/07; 2/25/08; 3/4/08; and 3/23/08, respectively. Loretta's mother AND step-mother died within 2 months of one another, 3 of these women died at the American Legion Hospital in Jennings, one at Lafayette General, all were connected with the murders through daughters.
No causes of death were listed.
7 murdered girls, 1 female suspect, 4 mothers dead. Eleven women, all interrelated in these murders, dead within 3 years? None over 50 years of age? (maybe Whitnei's mother was - we don't know). All the mothers died within less than a 4 month period.
As it is, this isn't passing the sniff test for me. Let's all put on our thinking caps here. This is crazy suspicious to me.
Could it be that someone is poisoning the mothers or something? Or is it just coincidence? None died at home.
I will add additonal information to the victims later today.

That is a little strange. Just some background. Jennings only has one hospital in town, American Legion Hospital. Lafayette is about 30-45 minute drive from Jennings and has several hospitals. If a more specialized surgery is needed, for example, one would go to the bigger cities (hospitals).
I've read some blogs linked from this site and remember that Whitnei DuBois's sister wrote several things on the blog and seemed to want to remain involved. Maybe she will read this and shed some light on it. I think you have to look at EVERYTHING when it still seems to be a guessing game.
I still have the feeling that police know who it is but they lack proof...

This is way too coincidental! How could we find the cause of death for each of these moms? Gosh this is so scary. I'm speechless. going to put my thinkin cap on now.....
I am looking up some relatives on intellius for the various victims and suspects. Will supply that info tomorrow. I just realized that Whitnei's mother, father, brother, and now Whitnei have all died at very young ages. I just think that is so sad. She must have been one lonely young girl. Back to work now.
