A good example of the weird culture of the area. It was just a funny - an odd little meeting, even for Jennings. He was a hobbly, south Jennings hustler guy, right?
I met him around sunset one night in early or mid July and I vividly remember meeting the guy because he was a character. He dated at least two of the Jeff Davis 8 victims. There was an odd guy named Bowlegs that Kirk introduced me to who was hobbling around Hobart Street. We were on Hobart Street in south Jennings and I remember this very well. Here’s the actual hook of the entire thing for me: I was riding around one night with Kirk. Did some more reading about the case Campbell Robertson at the New York Times had reported on it a bit. Actually, you know, I went with nothing really in mind other than meeting people. So you used your vacation time, your time off, to go poke around in murder cases in Jennings, Louisiana? I had accrued vacation time, some time off, and I said, “I’ll just…” I was working at the Louisiana Capital Assistance Center. I did not have any idea what I was doing out there other than the case seemed interesting. Anyway, I became professionally friendly with Kirk and went out there to Jeff Davis Parish at his invitation in the summer of 2011.

I think Kirk had done some sporadic pro bono work on the case on behalf of one of the victim’s families. I became professionally friendly with a guy named Kirk Menard, a licensed P.I. So, the origins of the story, or my interest in the story, begin in the summer of 2011.
How did you first become aware of the Jeff Davis 8 case and when did your fascination with it start? You obviously dove in head first and devoted a few years of your life to it. Brown also details how he essentially accidentally stumbled upon the connection to Rep. Recently, we sat down with Ethan Brown - a former New York Magazine staff writer who now also works as a private investigator - to discuss Murder in the Bayou and how he first learned of the Jeff Davis 8 case and became captivated enough by it to devote five years of his life to investigating it. Boustany has denied the allegations in the book through his spokesperson, and yesterday his wife publicly defended him in an email to supporters. Charles Boustany’s congressional staff, and alleges that Boustany, who’s currently running for Senate, himself was a client of some of the murdered sex workers. It comes off as the type of depraved, sordid, unsettling place you’re more likely to find in a third-world country ruled by a dictator.” Additionally, Murder in the Bayou reveals that the Boudreaux Inn was run for years by Martin “Big G” Guillory, a member of Rep.
Local authorities originally pushed the theory that the murders were the work of a single serial killer, but Brown’s five-year investigation reveals that something far more sinister may be at play.Īs we noted last week, “the police incompetence and misconduct meticulously outlined by Brown… are downright staggering, even knowing what we know today about how pervasive police corruption is in some parts of the U.S., to the point where it feels as though Jennings, Louisiana isn’t a place that could possibly exist in the United States of America in 2016. The murdered women - who all plied their trade out of the same roadside motel, the Boudreaux Inn - have come to be known as the Jeff Davis 8. The book explores the unsolved murders of eight sex workers who were all killed in Jennings, a town of about 10,000 that resides in Jeff Davis Parish in southwest Louisiana, between 20. Last week, we told you about Murder in the Bayou: Who Killed the Women Known as the Jeff Davis 8?, the new book by investigative reporter Ethan Brown on the “real life True Detective” case that drew lots of attention in 2014 following the publication of a Medium piece by Brown.
