Murder in the Bayou: Who Killed the Women Known as the Jeff Davis 8?

by Ethan Brown - Mystery, Nonfiction, True Crime

An explosive, true-life southern gothic story, MURDER IN THE BAYOU chronicles the twists and turns of a high-stakes investigation into the murders of eight women in a troubled Louisiana parish. Between 2005 and 2009, the bodies of eight women were discovered around the murky canals and crawfish ponds of Jennings, Louisiana, in the heart of the Jefferson Davis parish. Local law enforcement officials were quick to pursue a serial killer theory, but Ethan Brown suggests these homicides were the results of Jennings' brutal criminal underworld.
