New Orleans Unsolved

S2 Episode 22, The Photos/ The Rope Murders: The Investigation

New Orleans Unsolved

Show Notes

Over the course of six years and two seasons of the podcast, Anna has been trying to decipher the identities of the murdered teenage boys who ended up in the photos that were eventually shown to other children. The individual who showed them those photos was a child predator. Anna's investigation has steadily cleared a path through a forest of questions. In this episode, she explains why what was in the background of those photos is perhaps as important as what was front and center in them. Her latest interview also brings us back to a place central to Season 1 of New Orleans Unsolved...the Ninth Ward.

This is a brief update on what I’ve learned since the release of Episode 41 regarding the bodies I observed at St. Roch Cemetery in New Orleans. Since the episode aired, I’ve made efforts to get clarification and understand what I was seeing. This update reflects where things stand based on the information I was able to obtain after the episode was released. I will also be posting the video I recorded the day I visited the cemetery so listeners can see exactly what I saw.
