Show Notes
After Dennis Turcotte’s body was discovered bound and dumped in 1978, New Orleans Police Detective Frank Weicks traveled out of his jurisdiction to the rural area of Talisheek to assist in the case. The working theory was Turcotte had spent time in New Orleans French Quarter and was possibly kidnapped from there. But once at the crime scene, Weicks found some pressing and practical problems. In this episode, Weicks explains his concerns about the integrity of the investigation. And a suspect emerges. Who is he? How did he know Dennis Turcotte?

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.
