Listen Later

The Jefferson Davis 8, also known as the Jennings 8. Between 2005 and 2009, the small town of Jennings in Jefferson Davis Parish became the chilling backdrop for a series of unsolved murders. Eight women, each with their own story of struggle and survival, were found dead under eerily similar circumstances. Their lives, and their untimely deaths, left a trail of unanswered questions, baffling conspiracies, and a lingering sense of injustice.

The boys explore life in Jennings, a close-knit rural community steeped in Southern charm but marred by systemic poverty and a growing shadow of criminal activity. As they peel back the layers, the harsh realities of life in Jefferson Davis Parish emerge, from economic hardship to the prevalence of drug trafficking. This backdrop becomes central to understanding the vulnerability of the victims and the shocking failures that followed.

Each victim's story is brought to light—mothers, daughters, and friends navigating challenging lives in an environment that seemed to conspire against them. From Loretta Chaisson Lewis to Necole Guillory, Sean, Jorge, and Eric detail their tragic paths and the hauntingly similar circumstances surrounding their deaths.

The boys don’t stop there. They dive into the botched investigations, allegations of police corruption, and the systemic failures that seem almost too sinister to believe. Was the local sheriff's office complicit? Did their connections to the victims and the drug scene hinder justice? Or were they simply overwhelmed by the scale of this dark mystery?

Join the conversation as they explore the various theories—from the possibility of a serial killer to the involvement of organized crime, and even the chilling thought of a network of killers exploiting the vulnerability of a marginalized community. The boys navigate the twists and turns of this case, balancing hard facts with the heartbreaking realities of the families left behind.

Get ready to uncover the secrets of the Jefferson Davis 8—a case that remains as baffling as it is heartbreaking.
