Cops May Have Murdered 8 Women In Louisiana (VIDEO)

There have been 8 unsolved murders in the small central Louisiana town of Jennings between 2005 and 2009 and one theory has is that police were somehow were involved in the killings.

As reported by WWLTV,

Loretta Chaisson Lewis, 28, was the first, her decomposing and partially clothed body found floating in a canal on May 20, 2005.

Less than a month later, Ernestine Patterson, 30, was found in a different canal with her throat slit, her body discovered by froggers.

Over the next four years, the toll would mount: Kristen Lopez, 21; Whitnei Dubois, 26; Laconia “Muggy” Brown, 23; Crystal Benoit Zeno, 24; Brittney Gary, 17; and Necole Guillory, 26.

Their killings have gained national notoriety, often portrayed as the work of a serial killer. But police documents obtained by WWL-TV suggest a very different – and potentially more sinister – theory: that police somehow were involved in the killings.

The feminist website Jezebel reports that: “Police and sheriff misconduct and illegal unprofessionalism is reportedly a fact of life in the Louisiana Parish of Jefferson Davis. Crime scenes are regularly tampered with, evidence often goes missing and illegal highway stops are routine — even drug trafficking isn’t out of the question.”

Local citizens are particularly concerned given the violent nature of the murders and the fact that there seems to have been no progress solving the cases. Lionel Batiste, who lives on the south side of Jennings where most of the victims engaged in their high-risk lifestyles told WWLTV:

“Nobody seems to be able to find out who’s doing the killing. And all these people, we all know them. So why can’t the police find out who’s killing them?”

“I think it’s connected with the police because it’s too many murders. You can’t solve them and it’s steady going on, back to back to back. How can you not catch this man?”
