46. Jeff Davis 8 Part 2 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 Two. In this episode, the SWAC Pack wraps up our coverage of the Jeff Davis 8 and discusses theories ranging from a serial killer to corruption within Jennings.
