Looks like he's still in jail. Does it normally take this long to set bond?
The wife's ex-husband did time for embezzlement. She may need to adjust her picker.

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?

Poor kid. I really hope they find him soon and that he’s unharmed. Angry divorces are hell on kids.
I don’t know these people at all, but I live in the area. Of course I’m curious like everyone else because the dad’s post was worded strangely. Just speculation……I found the mom’s IG account and she definitely seems a little cuckoo. She also posted screenshots of him online gaming with adults. I have a 13 year old son who’s a gamer kid, but under no circumstances would I encourage or allow him to play online with kids he doesn’t know, much less with adults he doesn’t know. It’s not safe.

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.

Rob Morrow from Northern Exposure. He’s from New York and his fake accent was terrible. They could have found someone else to play Waters. Michael Rooker? Walton Goggins would be perfect but this small part was a little beneath him these days.
I read in one of the books about the murders that Harpootlian wanted Billy Bob to play him. I laughed when I saw Jerry Gergich instead.
All that aside, it was really well done. Jason Clarke and Patricia Arquette were excellent. Both brothers did well too. I listed to a podcast interview of Blanca and she was a consultant on the show and told them how to decorate the set for the house. Great show.

re: Anyone listening to the New Orleans Unsolved podcast on NOPD Sexual Crimes serial killer
Posted by ILurkThereforeIAm on 11/19/25 at 11:21 am to MrLSU
I'm glad you posted this. I listened to Season 1, but I didn't realize there was a Season 2. I'm now on Ep. 28 of Season 2 and my jaw has been on the floor. The extent of the New Orleans pedophile network discussed is absolutely mind blowing. It sounds conspiratorial, but she has done her research and has evidence to back up all of her claims.
The fact that Stanley Burkhardt keeps getting out of prison makes me think that some of the federal judges are sympathetic because they're pedophiles too. I don't understand how there are so many sickos out there who know how to find each other and create secret networks to traffic children. I'm also interested in the psychology of it all. What makes a person go down this path? Is it mainly the cycle of sexual abuse that perpetuates itself, or is there more to it? It's all horrifying.

A guy on my street does this. I've always called him Buffalo Bill because he has a weird face, long straggly blond hair with it thinning on top, and a weird voice. Then he starting taking care of his mother's white purse dog, and now I refuse to listen to the song "American Girl" and I walk on the opposite side of the street if I have to pass his house.

Moved back home and transferred to the Mall of Louisiana location. I still compare all other jobs to that nightmare. It was easily the worst place I’ve ever worked in my life.
One of my sorority sisters worked there and got me a job. I waited tables there for a stint and hated it. Some eurotrash puked red wine all over one of my tables. My first night working I had a dine and dash table. One afternoon I had to work an actual white trash wedding reception at the restaurant.
The only food I would eat from there was the potato soup because it was delivered to the restaurant in a bag and then dumped into the soup warmer. It felt safe.
Did the cook who tried to kill you have a teardrop tattoo on his face? He was actually was pretty nice to me. But he was still scary. I had a table one night that made me cry and he offered to “make their food special” for them. I declined, but that was disturbing.

Both stories creeped me out. All of the people interviewed were a bit weird, but I think you have to be to voluntarily participate in something like this.
The sons in both stories seemed traumatized by both their parents and the ghosts they kept seeing. Definitely a link between a difficult childhood and supernatural experiences. And does anyone believe the mom in the second story was just a “receptionist” at a, what did she call it, “adult dating” business?

Today's update:
All 3 kids are in state custody. The mother is still in the hospital. A local cop was placed on leave because he visited the dad in jail and then gave him a ride when he bonded out.
Is there any chance this guy is not affiliated with the cartel? It's Ozark meets Narcos.

Meanwhile, in an unexpected twist, a Lieutenant with the City of Liberty Police Department was placed on leave. The police department and the Liberty County Sheriff's Office confirm that Lt. Ramiro Lozano is currently being investigated by the Texas Rangers in connection with this case.
Authorities confirm that while Quintana was in jail for an unrelated animal cruelty charge, Lozano went and visited him in the Liberty County Jail. After Quintana bonded out, it was Lt. Lozano who waited outside the jail and drove the father home. Liberty County Sheriff's Office says it does not know if Lozano provided Quintana any financial assistance.
All the information has been turned over to the Texas Rangers for an investigation.
Currently, nobody has been charged.

It’s possible to make a lot of money, but VERY rare.
A good friend and her husband got roped into Advocare for a bit. She even quit her job to sell it “full time,” but that didn’t last. The couple that recruited them recruited a LOT of people in their area and were making over a million a year on their down line. They’re basically evangelical scammers that don’t want real jobs.
When Advocare got in trouble, these “diamond level” recruiters who relied solely on their down line for their income had to sell their house and start over financially and professionally. She’s a realtor now and I think he’s still doing some sort of other scammy job. They’ve tried selling other products but their success in Advocare was a one off.
And my friend and her husband are no longer friends with this couple. Once Advocare was taken out of the equation they realized they were just gross scammers. I kept my mouth shut when they were hanging out with them, but I was so glad when the friendship fizzled. It’s like they were in a cult with these weirdos.
