Whitnei Charlene Dubois, 26, was last seen on 05/10/07. Like Richard and Conner, charges were dropped against Tracee Chaisson due to lack of evidence and conflicting statements. Investigators believed she knew where the body was when she made the report. Chaisson was the person who reported Kristen missing. The police booked her on Accessory After the Fact charges. Charges were eventually dropped due to insufficient evidence and conflicting witness statements.Īlso arrested in May 2007 was Tracee L. Richard was reportedly seen with three of the victims in the last days of their lives. Richard and Conner were also questioned about the other deaths before Lopez's body was found. In May 2007, Frankie Richard and his niece, Hannah Conner, were arrested in connection with Lopez's death. However, toxicology results showed elevated levels of drugs and alcohol in Lopez's system. According to autopsy results, the cause of death for Kristen Gary Lopez is undetermined. Investigators felt her body had been placed in that location but killed elsewhere. On March 18, a fisherman discovered Lopez's utterly nude body in the Petitjean Canal, a rural area near Cherokee Road right off LA 99, about 10 miles south of the town of Welsh. Because it was not unusual to not hear from her for extended amounts of time, she was not reported missing until ten days later. By all published accounts, Kristen was involved in a high-risk lifestyle of drugs and prostitution. Kristen was last seen alive by friends and family on March 6, 2007. The third victim was Kristen Elizabeth Gary-Lopez. The death was ruled a homicide, and two people were arrested and charged with 2nd-degree murder but were later released due to "lack of evidence." She worked at Iota State University. She was partially clothed, and her throat had been slit. On June 18, her body was discovered in a drainage canal off LA Highway 102. The 30-year-old was last seen on June 16, 2005. The second victim, Ernestine Patterson, was a mother of four and a lifelong Jennings resident. Investigators believe she may have been in the canal for three to four days. A toxicology report showed "high levels of drugs and alcohol" in her system, but no cause of death was determined. The advanced decomposition caused difficulty identifying and collecting evidence, and an autopsy found Loretta had no physical injuries. Her body was found in the Grand Marais Canal 05/20/05 and floating in Grand Marais Canal's east fork, a few miles southwest of Jennings. She was 28 and last seen on 05/17/05 in Jennings, Louisiana. The first body found was that of Loretta Lynn Chaisson Lewis. Let's take a look at the unfortunate victims first.

Law enforcement would have you believe a serial killer was on the loose but is that really what happened? Or was something crazier going down?
Two of the victims had their throats slit the other six were in such a bad state of decay that a cause of death could not be determined, but asphyxiation is thought to be the cause. And for those of you wondering, no, Moody wasn't living there yet.
