There's a mini series on Amazon Prime about this, any of you involved ?


An explosive, true-life southern gothic story, Murder in the Bayou chronicles the twists and turns of a high-stakes investigation into the murders of eight women in a troubled Louisiana parish.

Between 2005 and 2009, the bodies of eight women were discovered around the murky canals and crawfish ponds of Jennings, Louisiana, a bayou town of 10,000 in the heart of the Jefferson Davis parish. Local law enforcement officials were quick to pursue a serial killer theory, opening a floodgate of media coverage—from CNN to The New York Times. Collectively the victims became known as the “Jeff Davis 8,” and their lives, their deaths, and the ongoing investigation reveals a small southern community’s most closely guarded secrets.

Haven't gotten to the end but, it had to be a cop or someone related to a cop.

There is more trash in that documentary than any landfill

‘Jeff Davis’ is racist.

Change the name and take the statues down and everything will be ok.

If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it seemed like at least some of those murders are not linked.

Think it’s Jennings 8

The old pimp definitely had something to do with it.

You’re just finding this series? It was covered at length here when the series originally aired.


Jennings could be the trashiest city in America.

I read the book. I don't think the killer was one person, but I think one person was behind all of the killings. I forget the dude's name, but he was a piece of shite with some local connects.

It was the cop with the sex trailer but he had a lot of help from other cops, Frankie Richard, etc.

I haven’t watched this - but might

Any way it could be that guy who killed Mickey Schieunik in Lafayette?

My sister is more of a crime buff - so I may invite her over and we can solve it
