Louisiana’s swamp lands hold a special place in Louisiana culture. These marshlands are an extremely important ecosystem. With the heat, water, and alligators, it is also the home to frequent body dumps.

In 1995, there was a report in the Los Angeles Times about a police officer who was linked to at least two of the 24 serial killings in the New Orleans area. Most of the victims were prostitutes. The women had been killed, stripped, and dumped in different locations throughout New Orleans and the nearby swamps.

Between 2005 and 2009, eight women from Jennings, Louisiana, were also murdered. Their bodies were found in the swamps and in ditches along the nearby interstate. (Source)
