I'd have to go back and re-listen to the podcast to try and remember who all was involved. Guess we'll see.

WASHINGTON PARISH, La. — Authorities in Washington Parish confirm to WWL that a man has been arrested in the 8-year-old cold case homicide investigation of Donna Arceneaux.

Washington Parish Sheriff Jason Smith announced to WWL's David Hammer that deputies have arrested Scott Jordan on suspicion of murdering the 40-year-old mother of three, who was found shot in the chest at her home in 2017.

Jordan was booked early Tuesday morning into the Washington Parish jail on one count of Second-Degree Murder, according to the WPSO arrest document. His bond has not yet been set.

"The arrest of Mr. Jordan marks a significant development in our ongoing effort to ensure accountability for this murder," Washington Parish Sheriff Smith said in a statement.

"I extend my sincere appreciation to the Louisiana State Police not only for the technical assistance of their Crime Lab but also for the efforts of their Investigative Team to rescue this case from dormancy. The assistance of the St. Tammany Parish Coroner’s office was also particularly beneficial to the investigation, and I appreciate all their support on this case."

The cold case was reported by WWL’s Mike McDaniel and Freeze Frame podcaster Tucker Simmons, which renewed interest in the stagnant investigation.

WWL Story

The podcast they mention in this article, called Freeze Frame, was really well done. He interviews the previous Washington Parish Sheriff about the case in one of the episodes and the interview is very telling. Jason Smith is doing a much better job.

After Cantrell earlier this week ordered the removal of banners Moreno’s inauguration committee hung up outside Gallier Hall, Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser said he called the mayor-elect and invited her to hang new banners on buildings he controls in the French Quarter.

On Friday, those banners, which included messages themed around the idea of being "all in" for New Orleans, started going up on The Presbytère and The Cabildo fronting Jackson Square.

Now, the new home for the banners are state buildings located on either side of St. Louis Cathedral, where the inauguration is holding a Mass on Jan. 11 featuring interfaith blessings and music.

Todd Ragusa, a spokesperson for the mayor-elect, said Moreno’s inauguration committee used private donations to pay for the production and installation of the new banners in the French Quarter, much like it did for the banners at Gallier Hall.

"We are grateful for the lieutenant governor's partnership and the opportunity to highlight this meaningful moment in a way that honors the traditions of our city and welcomes all New Orleanians to be part of it," Ragusa said.

They should have hung them from the Pontalba to really drive the point home. :rotflmao:

Stabber had DV history

As a mother, I don't understand WHY she kept getting back together with him when he was abusing her. He wasn't the kids' dad. He was her boyfriend and she kept allowing him back into her life and now her son has witnessed a stabbing and a lethal shooting. I get that she was a DV victim and that she's not to blame for the boyfriend abusing her. But she IS responsible for her kids and allowed a dangerous monster to be around them, in their house. It's so fricked up. I hope she gets help and her kids undergo some intensive therapy. The whole situation is terrible. Thank God the neighbor showed up, or the poor kid would have watched his mom be murdered, and he very well could have been next.

Why is a city with 9 figure deficit buying stupid banners?

Unless Helena campaign money paid for it

Her campaign paid for it.

But public works is taking them down. Teedy DGAF.

It’s not fake. I have family who live down the road from her parent’s house in Baskin. They all sound like that.

Management scheduled an early Thursday dinner at a local restaurant for the NOLA office and told the employees that no guests or spouses were allowed. Then the big boss and two managers show up from the BR office with their spouses in tow. The six of them went to the quarter after the dinner and stayed at a hotel and partied all night while we all went home.

Someone called them out on it the next year and they made up for it by booking a hotel block for all staff and guests and hosted the party in the quarter.

I loved Homeland. But Claire Danes doesn’t annoy me like she does some people.

I loved it. I’ve missed crazy, manic Claire Danes since Homeland ended and this filled that void. I can see how she can annoy some people, but it doesn’t bother me. Matthew Rhys was so creepy it made me forget his Americans character. And good on Brittany Snow for all the work she’s getting now. She’s a good actress.

He is certainly got the track record for it.

A history of domestic violence? With two protective orders in the past 5 years from two different women? Lots of red flags there. How does he have custody with that kind of track record?

I grew up with a mom like this. She was unable to control her anger and her physical punishments were always due to a loss of emotional control on her part.

I remember sitting next to her in the front seat of the car when she was driving. I was probably 9? We were talking and something I said set her off and she took her fist and pounded my forearm repeatedly. It was black and blue for days. To this day I have no recollection of what I said to set her off.

One time she beat my brother with a chain link dog leash. I remember that beating, but have no recollection of what he did that lead to her reaction.

I have a 13 year old son that I’ve never laid a hand on, and he’s a great kid.

I haven’t spoken to my mother in a year because, even at 65, she’s still unable to control her emotions and anger and she still lashes out at us verbally and via text. frick all that. I hope the mom in that video does time. Maybe she’ll get some therapy and eventually be able to apologize and repair the relationship with her kids.
