Who do you propose replaces them?
Yeah. 8 unsolved and potentially linked murders is a lot. So were the 15+ in Baton Rouge carried out by (at least) two guys. One thing that most people don't realize (and it's very absurd to think about) is just how easy it is to get away with murdering a person. When the number of people killed goes up, it makes it easier to limit down the people who could have done it. When that person is smart enough to stick to people who hang in groups where not checking in/going missing for several days to a week at a time isn't unusual, it becomes even harder to find them. Put simply, it's very possible/likely that at this point, if the killer(s) never kill again, it wouldn't matter if it was Jennings City, LAPD, NYPD, or the main field offices of the FBI, the offender didn't leave enough behind to be caught. It's got very little to do with incompetence. It's got a lot to do with how difficult it actually is to look at 20,000 people and say "yeah. It was this guy. And here is why..."
Somewhat reminding me about the whole killer vs killers thing, I had the opportunity to get to know one of the guys in one of the local Coroner's Offices that dealt with some of the BR slayings. He said one day after an autopsy, he noticed that the chest was kicked in on some of the victims but not on others. He made a passing comment "there's more than one guy doing this." Everyone thought "yeah, right. There's dead people so it's a (one) serial killer, and we will eventually find him." After DTL was detained, there was another murder (or was it two? I am not sure of numbers and time frame exactly here, other than that at least one occurred after the incarceration of a guy who was definitely guilty). Soon after, they caught another guy. No one was expecting two guys. These two got away with it for 10+ years (which they are fast approaching in the Jennings cases). Point I am attempting to make is that it's quite possible that the killer of the original girl is dead, or in jail and there's another guy doing it. There's no real way of knowing whether these girls were killed by one guy (or even another woman) or multiple. Some were asphyxiated. Some were stabbed. Some were sexually abused. Some were fully naked. Some were partially naked. I believe I also read that some were soaked/doused in bleach. There's really nothing that ties them all together other than their being part of a social circle. And the circle they were part of leads to a particularly difficult investigation (last seen with who and going missing several days at a time, again, wasn't something that was uncommon for them, from what I have read). To say that law enforcement is incompetent to not find incriminating evidence against these murders is simply misinformed, and a product, likely, of crime tv shows and how easy it is to come up with enough evidence to throw the book at someone (in an hour...two tops). Serial killers get away with what they do for a long time for a reason. They're smart. They pick the 'right' targets to be difficult to find. And if they truly did it for a thrill and don't want to be caught, they can stop and go unfound for long, long times at no fault of The Law.

incompetence <> corruption
There's too much smoke for there not to be any fire to the corruption angle.

Lends credence to the idea that the common thread is that some group of people needed these girls to die to cover something up.

Tiger Ryno, thanks for the link to that article. Very, very interesting.

Sure are a lot of Jennings natives on the OT like me.
Never knew
But yes, jennings has its rough parts and they generally focus anywhere south of the railroad tracks. Guy I knew and his buddy just got arrested for murder down there a few weeks ago. It was over drugs or something and the guy was supposedly their best friend. Classy.

But the FBI who is involved is in collusion? The new sheriff continues to say this isn't the case instead of throwing the old one under the bus? The old one did such a good job covering it up that he was promoted to the state-level whatever it was? The other local offices are all in on it too? As fun as pointing out LA corruption is, this either goes up to the state or federal level, or there's no actual conspiracy at all.
Also, you claimed to be from Jennings earlier in the thread. If you read the article, you'll notice that part of the police 'corruption' mentions Phil Karem as being 'the officer that killed three people.' Karem was a retired, former officer. What does his post-retirement heinous murder have anything to do with the corruption of the current police departments? Not only that, the majority of that author's 'evidence' is stuff that 'he had seen himself' and gathered from a group of people who swear up and down that the police are out to get them. I'm not saying I don't believe these people, but when all the 'evidence' comes from a group of people who admittedly do meth and crack, call me crazy, but I am slightly inclined to look for a better source. The guy supposedly questioned the Sheriff about evidence that he reviewed that the Sheriff wasn't even aware of. Is it because the Sheriff was mentally checked out or not an active part of the investigation? I would be willing to bet not. Particularly, I want to know where this guy is getting his hands on tape recordings that are 'booked as evidence' that were not presented in court (while the Sheriff isn't aware of their existence). I will say this: if the police department is letting this kind of evidence in an active investigation leak, then yes. They are incompetent and should all be fired. Something tells me there's a bit more to it than the writer makes it seem. His inconsistency on the Karem thing, for one, makes me wonder where his head's at. His continuing 'ragging' on the PD by his language also makes me question his neutrality, which is something I would hope a journalist would attempt to demonstrate in an article. He also talks about the sheriff's office getting sued by a Hispanic couple for being unjustly pulled over. Go back and read the line again. He makes no mention of whether or not they won or lost. I'm willing to bet you can't find a PD without 10 active suits against them. Who sues them means nothing. The outcome does. And last, he complains that his (a reporter) phone calls aren't returned by the Sheriff for several days, but then comments on how quickly the same guy responds when an official request for records is made. His slant is very unappealing. He does not demonstrate neutrality. If I went and interviewed 10 people in North Baton Rouge with history of drug use and hard time for sexual crimes to boot and asked them if they thought the police had something to do with the murders of the women pre-arrest of the two Baton Rouge Serial Killers, how do you think they would respond? Again, I don't mean to diminish the testimonies made. It's just that they're the only testimonies used. They didn't ask anyone 'north of the tracks' opinion. They didn't ask any 'higher ups' about it. There was actually a dramatized version of a show looking for serial killers on the learning or history channel (brutal bayou was the episode's name but I forget the series, and they followed Kirk Menard around for a few days and got his take on the issue). Everyone South of the tracks blames LE and thinks it's them and all that jazz. Then Retired Mayor Marcantel was put on camera where he basically laughs at the notion. Maybe corruption and a huge drug ring extends to the level of the mayor, too, but that's just a little too much for me.

Can we get a consensus that there really isn't a fast food combo like the jumbo bacon cheeseburger from The Rocket along with a shake? Maybe it's just me...
That may be all I miss about that place though.

There was a big time steroid dealer from Jennings just got 10 years and a $500K fine the other day. He was importing some sort of powder from China and cooking the roids himself and bottling it for sale. I only know this because a guy that works for me is from Jennings and was friends with him and was telling me about it today. Apparently the drug problem in Jennings is insane?
Anyway, about the murders, I still think it's an inside job and have for a while. Only difference is that I think it's not a cop but someone really connected perhaps and there is a cover up going on.
