There was a task force started that had one FBI guy on it. Once it disbanded, I don't think he was very complimentary of the locals and their network of crimes and hidden agendas.

Hopefully they interview Frankie Richard. If he’s still alive, that is...

Warren?

I used to play paintball with him in a group in the 90s.

You shouldn’t trust cops anywhere, and surely not in towns like that.

I don’t know how proficient their departments are at clearing cases, but there’s plenty of shootings and murders in small towns such as Crowley, Rayne and Abbeville.

My family has property on the Lacassine Bayou near Hayes, LA which is very close to where some of the bodies were found. Spent a lot of time out there as a kid. I was pretty young when it all happened so the book and story itself is very interesting to me now that I’m older. Not to mention, the Jeff Davis DA Cassidy who is mentioned in the book is my 2nd or 3rd cousin lol.

A Town Divided - Part 1 New (Season 1, Episode 4)

Tired of waiting for justice in the suspicious death of their sister Whitnei, one of eight victims discovered near Jennings, Louisiana, Brittany and Taylor Dubois search for answers. Secrets and suspects are revealed, leading to a surprising arrest.

INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY EXPLORES KILLINGS IN CAJUN COUNTRY WITH FOUR-PART SPECIAL DEATH IN THE BAYOU: THE JENNINGS 8

Between 2005 and 2009, eight women were found dead in or around the small town of Jennings, Louisiana, their bodies discarded in backroads and bayous. While the causes of death were varied – some with their throats slashed while many were too decomposed to determine – all were connected to one another, oftentimes seen with the same people in their final hours. With a few suspects but no one ever charged, the unsolved cases remain a source of fear and frustration in the community. Now, tired of waiting for justice, one victim’s family takes us deep inside their search for answers, revealing a dark underbelly of a small southern town riddled by drug use, violence, and allegations of a major cover-up. Produced by Entertainment One (eOne), the four-part explosive special DEATH IN THE BAYOU: THE JENNINGS 8 premieres on Saturday, June 15 and Sunday, June 16 from 10pm-12am.

If you're talking about Warren Gary who frequently is the subject of that speculation (indicated in the link), he died 7 years after the last murder via a gunshot wound courtesy of his grandson.
It doesn't appear as if he was too old/sick/etc to continue to murder women and then just recently died unless they just didn't mention him being ill in the article.

Maybe you're referring to a different deputy that died, but that is the only name I've ever seen attached to the 'someone in the department is doing it' idea.



As for the rest of it, there's a multi-agency group working on the case for a decade now. A new sheriff who, instead of throwing the old one under the bus called the author a guy trying to sell fictional stories there's a link to a letter from him inside of this decent summary of the whole ordeal

Between Derek Todd Lee and Sean Vincent Gillis, there were 15 women murdered over 11ish years in the Baton Rouge area before one was caught. If Wikipedia is to be believed, Gillis kept dismembered body parts of the women in his house and was able to get away with it for a decade, give or take. While I'm sure law enforcement in a tiny little town sucks in comparison to bigger cities where random acts of violence are a bit more commonplace, it seems that it must be really difficult for someone to actually be caught. And if they were smart enough to not get off on dead-flesh mementos and quit before being caught, they could probably quite easily never be found.

How many crimes are the city of Jennings police department having to solve or the Jefferson Davis sheriff's department? In other words, when it comes to something like this, how much trust can you put into their workings?


Jennings is a larger city than Plaquemine, while Iberville Parish is slightly more populous than Jeff Davis. Why don't you ask a friend or neighbor, you no doubt have, that works for either the city PD or the Parish sheriff's department about this?
