wait... im talking about Taylor's killer. I just heard that they caught him. He lived approx. 10 houses down from her & his girl friend turned him in. He went home loaded with blood on his clothes.


The old lady in Norco...her killer was found moments after they discovered her body a couple of weeks ago.


Edited to Add: I was told that they caught him. A police officers son told me and it is posted on a few of the facebook pages. I'm thinking they will release the info soon. I will remove my post if I need to or ya'll think it's best.

Thank You! I got confused from that last post:waitasec:

You know what makes me sick? I was reading some of the articals and they actually had people saying her mother shouldn't have left her alone and shame on her mother. What is this world coming to? People honestly make me sick. How can you insult a woman who is going through so much? I don't understand...Her husband is sick,she found her daughter beaten to death just days ago and people have the audacity to sit there and say that about her. Sickening....

Three days after a 15-year-old LaPlace girl was found beaten to death in her bedroom, St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's investigators say they are searching for Earnest Joseph III, the man suspected in her death whom authorities say lived down the street from the girl.
Authorities say Joseph, went to Taylor Adams' house in the 2500 block of Yorktowne Drive where the meeting ended violently.

I, too, found it kind of wacky WWLTV didn't post a photo of Earnest Joseph III. How are we supposed to help if we don't have even a basic description?

People love to victim blame because they don't want to ever think that it could happen to them. They don't want to connect to the victim at all. The farther they can make themselves from the victim, the better it makes them feel. And besides, Taylor was 15 not 3.

I don't understand why it's so difficult for people to just have compassion and sympathy for crime victims instead of trying to figure out everything they did "wrong" to "invite" some sicko to rape/murder them.

He looks somewhat familiar,looks like ive seen him somewhere before...probably just seen him around La Place. Can't believe it....

He has a very distinctive appearance. He won't evade capture long.
