[Catch2266]

This one really interest me too. After reading Ethan Brown's book on the subject, think there was some wickedness going on for sure.

There's a whole subsection of the serial killer part of the site dedicated to this case.

Pettibon Junction-
Yes, I am aware! I just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention again for a couple reasons. The 2 most important being:

1. I do not want these beautiful women forgotten
2. Maybe someone who knows something will read this and decide to come forward.

I am interviewing author Ethan Brown who wrote the book and is the executive producer of Murder on the Bayou the new Showtime series. My podcast will be uploaded soon.

JEFF DAVIS 8​

Like in Atlantic City, the bodies of eight sex workers were found dead in the rural areas of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, between 2005 and 2009.

nobody has been arrested in connection to the murders.

The cause of death varied among the women, according to the report. Some had their throat slashed and others were asphyxiated. Some were too decomposed for the exact cause to be determined.

The victims were Black and white, between 17 and 30 years old.

Eerily, they all know each other in their town of 10,000 people.

I am from the small town of Lake Arthur about 8 miles just south of Jennings and now reside in Jennings. It seems these poor girls will never see justice. So badly these families deserve it!

“It was one of the most coldblooded killings I’ve ever worked in my career,” Jennings Police Chief Danny Semmes said.

Police call it a calculated crime, but significant amounts of evidence at the scene could be what helps solve this case.

“There was a considerable amount of evidence left behind,” Semmes said.

It happened February 2013 on Seagraves St. in Jennings. Charles and Katrenna Williams were found dead in their home. Investigators also found their son who was just four years old at the time unharmed.

“I thank the good lord that they left the child alive, but to leave a young child in that situation is horrific,” Semmes said.

Semmes said investigators believe the person or persons who committed the crime knew the Williams.

“We believe the person involved was someone he knew both from physical evidence that was found on the scene and information that we were gathering from the streets,” Semmes said.

Authorities hope new technology will help solve 10-year-old Jennings double homicide case

A lot has happened in the ten years since a Jennings couple were slain in their own home, including advancements in technology used to solve these heinous crimes.

I think this may be a miss-post. The Jennings 8 /Jeff Davis 8 were a series of murders of 8 women that occurred between 2005-2009.

Charles and Katrenna Williams deserve their own WS thread, though - looks like we don't have one yet.

[committee]

We are a small group of concerned citizens, that have studied the Jeff Davis 8 case, using publicly available information for 10+ years, with thousands of hours of research and analysis committed. One of our many approaches is best described with an analogy and it is this:
In cases of infidelity, the cheating spouse will create a narrative to cover their whereabouts, who they were with, and to cover their time away. This narrative of course is built on a foundation of lie's, thus a false narrative. When the other spouse becomes suspicious, they will question parts of the narrative they are given, and whether they realize it or not, they attempt to deconstruct the narrative to get to the truth. It's a strategy in the pursuit of truth. We have in many cases, deconstructed existing narratives. It is a peeling back of layers to see what lies beneath..

In the series “Death in the Bayou: "The Jennings 8", in the introductory, at the 2:09 mark, an unidentified woman in a brown shirt says “Don’t go by what no street say because the streets lie…all the streets lie…for the power of that drug”, this will turn out to be one of the most insightful statements although we did not recognize its significance early on. We find that the “lies on the streets” were not organic but intentionally placed there. By ignoring her advice, the Jennings 8 case has gone 21 years unsolved, because we have all been listening to “what the streets say”.
When you look at the Jennings 8 case from a high altitude, what do you see? We see reasonable doubt, or “shadows of doubt” at every turn. Without hard forensic evidence or a DNA match, a prosecutor will have an uphill battle navigating the reasonable doubt in the future. We do not believe this littering of reasonable doubt across the case field is organic.

In the terms of use of this platform it prohibits spreading rumors, but yet the Jennings 8 case is littered with rumors, so its hard to tell the difference between rumors and lies. The current narrative of the Jennings 8 case can be found in the book Murder in the Bayou by Ethan Brown, the Showtime series of the same name, the series “Death in the Bayou” with Paul Nixon, various podcasts, and news stories and this has created a bubble of uniform thought, that is not particularly healthy for the cases. Its more closely aligned with cognitive biases of “group think” and the “bandwagon effect”. Some wander off outside the bubble but often they get too far away for their thinking to be plausible in their analysis.
Where evidence tampering exists, you would be naïve to think that witness tampering, and case tampering is not also occurring. Witness tampering if often associated with court room activity, but witness tampering occurs far outside the boundaries of the court, that largely goes unnoticed.
Where others see corruption, missteps and incompetence we see acts of sabotage with an end goal of frame-ups to create suspects and sway public opinion. Its not just one or two pieces of evidence or examples we see a pattern of this sabotage of individuals and cases across the field. As we move forward we will cover each one.
It is a common belief that Jesse Ewing and nurse Nina Ravey are examples of whistleblowers trying to do the right thing and were punished for it. Those were in reality cases of sabotage of which will be covered.

In our next posting we will begin with the sub-case of the Jennings 8 involving the 1996 Silverado pickup purchased by Warren Gary from Connie Siler who sold it 21 days later for a significant profit. Below are the links that should be printed for study. It has been stated that what Gary did was not illegal but certainly unethical. This was first stated by Scott Lewis, reporter of the Jennings Daily News at the time and repeated by Ethan Brown in his book and has become a standard narrative and an example of police corruption. When you peel back the layers to see what is hiding beneath, you see a larger example of corruption that is far more sinister than anything Warren Gary did.

You will also need the following Louisiana Revised statutes printed and studied or you can reference them online.
The links to the referenced Louisiana Revised Statutes from the LABOE Report:
Louisiana Laws - Louisiana State Legislature (Section 1115)
Louisiana Laws - Louisiana State Legislature (Section 1116)

Once you study it, we are going to make some points you may have missed, and then you can go back and see what it is we see.
