45. Jeff Davis 8 Part 1 of 2

Between 2005-2009 the bodies of 8 women were found in or around Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana. Despite the creation of a task force and the family’s demands for answers, these cases, which came to be known as the Jeff Davis 8, remain unsolved. The connections between the victims and key players in the Jennings area have left questions of who might be responsible, and whether corruption has played any role in these cases remaining unsolved.
This is Part One. Check back next week for Part Two of our coverage into the murders of the Jeff Davis 8.
