~ Wake-Up Call ~

It is becoming clearer as the days pass that the families of the murder victims are coming under additional duress as law enforcement makes pleas to them to refrain from speaking to the media, to refrain from publicly posting their thoughts and feelings, and appealing to them to not add to the already present and growing distrust of local law enforcement.  They are being burdened with the guilt that doing so will only hinder and harm the murder investigations.

~ “The Watcher” – Profile by Shadow ~

The following profile was posted by Shadow, on October 10th, 2009 at 3:01 AM:

How about the watcher? Here’s a (not so brief) synopsis of what he might look like. Metaphorically speaking, that is.

The watcher would be someone who is very much a loner and likely even paranoid. He would likely be intimidated by women. While he wouldn’t be able to look them in the eye and would talk very quietly, he would definitely come across as shy (as opposed to, say, “hiding something”), which in turn would keep them off guard.

~ Unraveling MAIT ~

The following comment was posted by Nicki Soileau, creator of the Justice for Jefferson Davis Facebook site. Thank you Nicki for allowing us a somewhat humorous, although rather disturbing, view into the circus you encountered in your attempt to unravel the mysterious MAIT team.

I spent my ENTIRE day trying to unravel the enigma which is, MAIT! It stands for Multi-Agency Investigative Team. This is the task force to which Sheriff Ricky Edwards often refers.

My objective was to make contact with ALL of the agencies that Sheriff Edwards stated were members of his task force and get names and contact information for those persons, in order to send each one a formal invitation to a public question and answer forum hosted by our group.

~ From The Inside Looking In ~

I’m not going to clutter this post with my yap-trapping other than to thank the student that wrote the following e-mail and to thank Holliston for the okay to post it here.

“I live about 30 minutes from Jennings as I am attending college, but I do return home often. Most of the murders happened while I was still living with my parents in Jennings. I have lived my entire life in a nice suburban section of Jennings, so I never really felt that I was at risk.

~ Tracing IP Addresses ~

After receiving many emails, I suppose I need to address a situation that recently took place regarding the  disclosure of the IP address and location where a few comments were originating from.  From a personal standpoint, I do occasionally look at IP addresses to determine how widespread interest in the cases is.  I do not have the skills, capability, or equipment to pinpoint exact locations though.

~ Let’s Stay United ~

Thought I’d respond in regards to a few comments that were made last night and let you know how much your support is appreciated……not only by me but the families of all the victims as well.  I need to forewarn you though……this post is really long!

I would like to thank those of you that posted yesterday evening in support of this blog.  There are several here that have been involved since it’s inception and have remained steadfast in support of it and the victim’s families as well.

~ New York Reporter In Town ~

Posting this here for those who might possibly miss the comment posted in thread #28.  I hope that as many family members as possible will consider contacting Rebecca ASAP.  It’s sounds like she has put a lot of effort into being able to come to JDP to hear your stories and about your loved ones.  Please consider taking advantage of this opportunity.

Just a reminder…..Paul Nixon with Kodiak Productions will be arriving with his team tomorrow.  He can be contacted at kodiakproductions@hotmail.com.

~ Announcement ~

** Please mark your calendars and plan to attend **

A Community United in Prayer service and candle light vigil, in memory of the eight slain victims, has been organized by the mother of Crystal Benoit Zeno.

~ Body Location Site – Necole Guillory ~

I am posting these photos on the main blog page and they will also be accessible on Necole’s blog page once I get it up and running.  Can’t say they’re the greatest but hopefully it will give you at least some sort of visual as to where she was found.  Just from being in the area, my opinion is that the perp pulled over on Interstate 10 and rolled her down the embankment. 

~ Task Force Press Release ~

The task force has provided some good information for the public to be aware of as far as murder suspect(s) behavior characteristics.  Although “he/his” is referenced in the following press release, everyone needs to be acutely aware that the suspect(s) could be female and not rule that possibility out.

~ Topics For Kodiak Productions ~

This post is being initiated as a central location to list potential subject matter for Paul Nixon and the Kodiak Production team to consider as they set out to film a documentary about the mysterious deaths in Jeff Davis Parish.

If you are not comfortable posting your suggestions in a public arena, you can contact Mr. Nixon personally at kodiakproductions@hotmail.com

~ I Haven’t Abandoned You ~

I wanted to say a quick hello to all of you and let you know I haven’t lost interest or abandoned the blog.  I have been in Dallas the past two weeks to be with my brother who is in his final days of battling the beast of cancer.  It has been a heart breaking and depressing couple of weeks and it has been very difficult for me to find the time to post and keep up much with the comments and activity on the blog but I do manage to check in from time-to-time.

~ Just An FYI ~

Wanted to let you all know that I’m leaving bright and very early in the morning for vacation and will return home the evening of July 5th.  Unfortunately, I’m under strict orders to leave my beloved laptop at home so I won’t have access to the blog while I’m gone.  Even though I’ll be going through serious withdrawals I suppose it’s a good thing since I’m waaaaaaaaaaaaaay over-packed as it is LOL.

~ Please Beware (Updated) ~

First of all, let me apologize to all of you for the nonsense that seems to be upon us once again.  Unfortunately, I don’t have a great deal of control over what is taking place and admit I have no idea why this woman Eyez, whose real name is Janice West, continues to harrass myself and the jdpkiller blog.

IF you do read at her blog, there is a comment there (which is no longer accessible) that I ASSURE YOU is not mine.  Here is the screenshot link to EyezLies.  Ctrl + will enlarge the screen so it’s easier to read.

~ BEACONHELL.com ~

You may or may not have noticed that I recently added a new link to the blog;  it is for BEACONHELL.com which is a popular crime blog.  The blog owner, who goes by the nickname “princess” recently sent a request to link to the jdpkiller blog as well as an invitation to write a front page article about the young women killed in Jeff Davis Parish.

~ In Remembrance ~

Sometimes it seems like time flies.  Here we are in the month of May 09 already.  Mother’s Day is quickly approaching………this Sunday, May 10th.  Many of us will be scurrying to purchase gifts for our mothers and making plans to be with them, but……there are a few who’s mother’s aren’t around to receive those gifts or enjoy plans made.  All that can be offered up to them are memories, I love you’s and possibly a visit to a mother’s grave.

~ BODY LOCATION SITE PHOTOS ~

Wanted to let you all know that several recent photos of the locations where the victims were found have been uploaded to the site.  The photos are located on each individual young lady’s blog page.  Hopefully the pictures will provide you with a better perspective of the surroundings in those particular areas.

I had several other photographs as well but learned the locations were not quite accurate.  I do plan to return to JDP in the near future as soon as I am confident the body location sites for the other four young ladies are correct.

Here is the link to the photographs that have been uploaded so far:

• LaConia “Muggy” Brown
• Whitnei Dubois
• Kristen Lopez

~ INFORMANT PROTECTION ~

Kirk Menard, on April 2nd, 2009 at 3:18 PM Said:

We know that somebody somewhere has information.  We don’t know what they are scared of but I can and will guarantee this…if anyone has any information whatsoever and wants to turn it in and it is viable information, we will place armed guards to protect the witness 24 hours a day until the person/persons are arrested.

There is also a chance that if a person does come forward, we can appeal to the governor to place the person in a witness protection program enforced by the Louisiana State Police and/or the State Attorney General’s Office.  Local LE cannot offer protection because of lack of manpower.

So if someone has information come forward and we’ll do what it takes to protect the informant.
