If it was a professional hit or someone trying to make sure their dirty laundry doesn't get aired it makes plenty of sense.

Maybe she knew someone was after her and she wanted the cops to know it was a hit and not a robbery.

Time for the OT to step up and solve this murder. Hopefully, the podcast will stir up some new interest

If this case were to ever get solved, it wouldn’t surprise me if solution came from TD.

When someone told me about the Margaret Coon murder podcast I tried pulling up my memory of this case. Strange how my memory had melded the murder of Margret Coon and Donna Bahm. Similarities are interesting. I had known Donna in college. Still have no idea why anyone would want to harm her. When you think of murder victims she would be last on your list.

Is it coincidence that Strain’s sexual abuse allegations began around the same time?
Was STP Courthouse a mini Epstein Island?

I listened to the podcast up to date this week.

It hasn't really given any good suspects IMO.

I don't buy that it was some ex lover, or a feuding neighbor. Seems far-fetched.

Seems like it was a professional kill. Big knife in the back, right into the heart with no witnesses?

The golf ball assault on the clubhouse that coincided with the murder is pretty odd.

Seems like it was someone who wanted revenge from a case she prosecuted, or someone that wanted to stop her from uncovering something sinister.

She was divorced from the Mandeville Mayor. Bernard Smith
was a one-term Mayor, 1976-80, who kinda dropped off the face of the earth until he showed up back on the Northshore.

New episodes of the podcast are up. Bizarre twist to potentially involve Patricia Currie as a suspect.

You may recall her conviction for trying to murder her attorney in 2016. She apparently has a long, long history of incredibly psychotic aggressive behavior. Was Coon's neighbor and walked her dog. Also possibly had a relationship with her.

Thanks I caught up two weeks ago with the podcasts. I think it was her. St Tammmany really has changed over the past 30 years
