New Orleans Unsolved

Show Notes

So far, Anna’s investigation of the Rope Murders has uncovered links to the pedophile cell that was Boy Scout Troop 137. While that troop may have been based in New Orleans East, Anna found that its tentacles reached outside of the city. In this episode, Anna’s investigation shifts to a place that was once dominated and defined by a segregationist who some called King of the Bayou.

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.
