Aaron Taylor was 36 and experiencing homelessness when he was lit on fire on Christmas Day in 2007. Police think they know who’s responsible... but a lack of physical evidence...coupled with reluctant witnesses...has kept this case open for years. But multiple people know what happened...and investigators are hoping they’ll come forward.

INFAMOUS: The Jeff Davis 8

December 30, 2024

54m

Between 2005 and 2008, eight women are killed in and around the small town of Jennings, Louisiana. Rumors of a serial killer on the loose are met with apathy by local law enforcement, possibly due to the corruption that’s broken the trust between the public and the forces meant to protect them. Over a decade later, the question still remains: who killed the Jeff Davis 8?

If you have any information about the deaths of Loretta Chaisson, Ernestine Patterson, Kristen Gary Lopez, Whitnei Dubois, Crystal Shay Benoit Zeno, Laconia “Muggy” Brown, Brittney Gary, or Necole Guillory, please contact the Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office at 337-275-8188, or contact them online at JDPSO.org/crimetips.
