80. Remembering the Jeff Davis 8 with Ethan Brown

20 years later, still no justice. Between 2005 and 2009, the small town of Jennings, Louisiana, was rocked by the deaths of eight women—each with ties to one another through poverty, drugs, and sex work. Known as the “Jeff Davis 8,” or the “Jennings 8,” the cases remain unsolved and are clouded by corruption allegations, mishandled evidence, and suspicions that local law enforcement may have been involved. Was this the work of a serial killer, or a tangled web of crime and cover-up in a community already struggling with mistrust of police?
Join us as we sit down with author and investigative reporter Ethan Brown to discuss his groundbreaking work and his book Murder in the Bayou… and the families’ ongoing search for justice for Loretta Lewis, Ernestine Daniels Patterson, Kristen Gary Lopez, Whitnei Dubois, Laconia “Muggy” Brown, Crystal Benoit Zeno, Brittney Gary, and Necole Guillory.
