    Questions That Need Answering Three Tragic Stories   Michael D Siau, 38 of Boyce, LA was found beaten to death on September 26, 1985, in a ditch in Alexandria, LA. Unidentified white female found April 12, 1998, alongside I-49 in Lena, LA, 20 miles north of Alexandria, LA. Adam John Breaux, 50 from Houma, LA, was last seen in August 1991 at a convenience store on Barrow St. www.mysteriesofthebayou.com   Full Transcript Below Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (00:02): Hello, and welcome to another episode of mysteries of the Bayou I'm Roy today. We've got, uh, about three different cases. Uh, one, there are a couple of them have very, very little information and one has a quite a bit more than any story that we've covered so far. So go ahead. And, uh, we are the podcast that covers, um, you know, the murdered missing out of Southwest Louisiana and other places as well. We will do stories from around from around the United States. So if you have a case that is either cold or unsolved, you can please reach out to me at Roy at the mysteries of the, by you.com. Uh, I'd love to hear any case submissions, or if you have information on any case that we've presented, um, uh, previously friend relative law enforcement that did want to comment, be glad to, uh, talk to you about that as well. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (01:06): So let's just jump right in today. Uh, the first case is again, out of, uh, the repeats parish, uh, Alexandria area, the victim's name is Michael PSEO. It's spelled S a U N N. I think the French pronunciation is C. He was a 38 year old resident of Boyce, and he was last seen about 2:00 AM, September 25th, 1985. Uh, when his truck broke down, his body was later found by a jogger on the morning of September 26th, 1985. Uh, his partially nude body was located in a ditch on plantation drive near Hartwell road in Alexandria. He had been severely beaten. Uh, Mr. PSEO had a debilitating disease that made it hard for him to raise his arms over his head without experiencing severe pain. So there's a high level of doubt that he was able to put up much of a fight with whoever attacked him. It is also suspected that, um, he had a few pieces of unique jewelry that were on him that were never found. So it is speculated that the robbery could have been the motive or at least secondary once. Uh, they had killed him. They went ahead and took anything that he had a value off of him. If you have any information on this, please reach out to the repeat Sheriff's office or your local, uh, law enforcement agency or Crimestoppers with any more information. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (02:56): The, uh, the next one is one with no information whatsoever. This one I just happened to, uh, while I was doing some research on Mr. PSEO looked in, um, found this was a unsolved cold case off of the repeat sheriffs, uh, website, uh, the repeats Paris Sheriff's website. It, um, an unidentified body was found on April 12th, 1998. It was partially decomposed and was nude a white female. And she was found along the southbound ramp onto interstate 49 near the rule Lina Louisiana exit. That's about 20 miles North of Alexandria. Uh, the site is frequent in by 18 wheelers and campers that are passing through who often uses on ramp as an official us use me as an unofficial overnight rest stop. So anybody, uh, again, having any information on this, please reach out to, uh, the repeats parish, Sheriff's office, crime stoppers, uh, and just, uh, that'd be helpful. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (04:13): Any information that you have on this unidentified body that was found the next one, this is going to be one, we've got a little bit more information on than what we've had in the past. Uh, this is, uh, going to be out of home a Louisiana. The victim's name is Adam John bro. Uh, he was also known as AIJ and like I said, he was, uh, lived in Houma, Louisiana in terror, bone parish, his entire life. And he had also raised a family there. He was, uh, he was born in January, 1941. So he would have been 50 years old when he was last seen in August of 1991. And he would be approximately 79 years old today. Uh, December, 2020, uh, he is, was five 11, 160 pounds, Caucasian Brown hair, Brown eyes. And he did wear glasses. Occasionally. He does have a birthmark on his knee and a scar on his left eyebrow. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (05:28): He was last seen leaving the easy does it club, which is an alcohol support group around eight 30 on August the 28th, 1991, which is, uh, the club itself is located in the 120 block of Bernard street, about 9:00 PM. And I've read two stories on this. Uh, it's somewhere between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM. He bought a quarter milk at a local convenience store on Barrow. And that was, uh, the last time that he was seen his locked 1988, silver Ford tempo was found two days later in Jim Bowie park, which is close. Uh, again, two descriptions I'd read.

  • Bodies Found in Rapides and Lafayette Parish

    Bodies Found in Rapides and Lafayette Parish
    2020/12/08
    Shamekka Garnette found in Rapides Parish and William Lyles found in the Vermilion River in Lafayette Parish Louisiana. Shamekka Garnette was last seen August 13, 2004, when she left with a friend for a night out. She was found four days later in a drainage ditch off I-49. William Lyles was last seen at approximately 3a on September 10, 1995 and was found approximately 6 hours later in the Vermillion River close to I-10. While the cause of death was drowning, he had injuries consistent with a beating.  www.mysteriesofthebayou.com Full Transcript Below  Roy with Mysteries of The Bayou (00:03): Hello, and welcome to another episode of mysteries of the Bayou. I'm Roy with Mysteries of The Bayou got a couple of a couple other short cases to cover today. Uh, the first one is going to be, uh, Shameeka, Garnette. Uh, Shameeka was, uh, 20 years old. She was last seen October 13th, 2004. This was just a few days prior to her 21st birthday. Uh, she is from the Alexandria Louisiana rapedmy parish area. So, uh, she was last seen, seen leaving home at approximately 11:30 PM with a friend in their vehicle. Uh, the vehicle was later abandoned on Lee street on the Lee street on ramp two 49 near, uh, base road. Um, the weird thing about this case is that there wasn't any other information that I could find that talked about her friend. It sounded said the car was abandoned, but they never talked about either finding this other individual, questioning them if it was man, woman or anything about it. Roy with Mysteries of The Bayou (01:19): So I did feel like that was a little bit strange. The, um, so, uh, on August the 17th of 2004, about four days later, her body was found in a drainage ditch off of old Boyce road. Now, um, it's uncanny. It's the other thing that's strange about this is it's very unclear who is investigating this case. When you look at most of the coverage that this received in the media, on the internet, it was credited with repeat Sheriff's department, but, um, in contacting them for more information on the case, they expressed explicitly said that the Alexandria police department was handling it. So, um, what I did was reached out to the Alexandria police department for an open records request. And they, after talking with three or four people in that, that, uh, jurisdiction told me that, that they were not handling this case. So it's a little bit strange that neither one of these, uh, agencies and, you know, before I kind of get off on a rant, I want to make sure that I'm very clear that I'm very pro law enforcement. Roy with Mysteries of The Bayou (02:42): I know these guys do a great job. A lot of the times there's not much to go on. And so some of these cold cases go cold, not because there really wasn't much effort. There just wasn't much to go on. But having said that, I do believe in, I do believe in, uh, law enforcement agencies honoring the open request, open records, open, you know, information requests from the public as per the statute of the state. In this case, it's our S 40 four.one. And it lays it out in very clear what is considered, um, public information now in ongoing investigations, of course, you know, they always want to hold things back. They don't want to, uh, uh, do something to jeopardize the, uh, investigation in case they worked to arrest somebody in the future. But the reality is that, that there is still information that can be released. Roy with Mysteries of The Bayou (03:48): And, uh, not only did they not release it, but I really felt like, and going back to the case that we had last week with, uh, Teresa Gil crease, I really feel like that the repeat Sheriff's department was just playing games. And I actually reached out to the Louisiana attorney General's office. And of course they acted like first off, they acted like they didn't know what was going on. They said they don't represent individuals. I explained to the young lady that this was a state statute, that they are the lawyers for the state and that they should be enforcing the statutes that the legislature deems necessary to put out. So in turn, they should be making sure, and then they should be investigating when agencies aren't being transparent and aren't releasing public information as they should. But needless to say, I never heard back from the investigator, supposedly that was assigned to this through the attorney General's office. Roy with Mysteries of The Bayou (04:55): So it's easy to understand why families get very discouraged because of the lack of information and understand have a much better understanding. Now, a while a lot of people that I know, uh, out of the Louisiana area are very distrustful of local law enforcement and of the Louisiana government structure altogether. I have, I can officially say that I have bumped into that, excuse me. And I know exactly what they're talking about, and it's just a little bit fishy that nobody knows who's got the investigation. And, um, the other ...

    More From Da Berry and Beyond
    2020/11/30
    “More From Da Berry and Beyond” Terry Delahoussaye and Teresa Gilcrease Following the cold case of Nelson Landry Jr., comes another cold case from “Da Berry.”  Terry Delahoussaye, nicknamed “Sniff”, was celebrating his 62nd birthday at the seafood connection in his hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana.  On that night of December 5, 2015, Mr. Delahoussaye was murdered. He was found slumped over in his vehicle where he suffered a gunshot wound to the head on the 300 block of Field Street.  Those who had seen him last noted that his gold jewelry and money were missing from his person when police found him.  Mr. Delahoussaye was an active member and volunteer in his community. His murder remains unsolved and is an ongoing investigation. 44-year-old Teresa Marie Wren Gilcrease was back in her hometown of Alexandria, Louisiana to attend her daughter’s high school graduation in 2002 where she would go missing. She and her husband had moved to Baker City, Oregon where he worked as a pharmacist.   At this time, Mrs. Gilcrease was staying in Boyce, Louisiana.  Her last known movements were leaving the bar called The Stick Pool on MacArthur Dr. in Alexandria in the wee hours with an unknown male on June 10th, 2002. A sketch of the suspect was circulated, and her rental car was found in the parking lot. Ms. Gilcrease’s body was found not long after by a farmer in the Alexandria area. She had been runover by a car and stabbed.  The Rapides Sheriff’s department ruled out 50 suspects, including a Louisiana State Trooper.  Crime Stoppers featured the case in 2013, however, her murder remains unsolved and is an and is an ongoing investigation. See Full Transcrit Below Roy (00:03): Hello, and welcome to another episode of mysteries of the Bayou. I'm Roy I'm Scarlet. We got a couple of great cases to bring you today. Uh, the first one we're going to talk about is, again, out of new Iberia. It is, uh, uh, Mr. Terry Delahoussaye. He was, um, he was nicknamed sniff and on, uh, December 5th, 2015, he was found deceased in his car at the age of 62. And, uh, upon further investigation, the, um, police found that he had been shot in the head and, uh, the way I read this, it was like, um, it was like the driver's side door may have been locked, but the passenger door was open. And as I kind of what you got. Yeah, Scarlett (00:57): Yeah. That's, that's what I read. Um, we were able to get a police report and, um, uh, you know, some of the details are a little sparse, but that was, um, definitely laid out for us. Okay. Roy (01:08): Yeah. So, uh, the other thing, I think this was his birthday or right around his birthday. They had been out that night having a celebration. They had been over at the, uh, seafood connection. And then, um, after the party broke up, he left and, uh, was later found in the 300 block of field street. Now the, um, they say that once he left the seafood connection, after the celebration that his, uh, that he did have cash and jewelry on him that were not found after the police found his body. Now, the, the other thing that was a little bit strange is that, um, the, the way that the police report and the way that some other reports, uh, talk about this, it was almost like his car was in, still in the middle of the road running when they found him. And, uh, uh, somebody called in and said, Hey, there's a guy slumped over in the car. Roy (02:15): And the police came out, of course, found that he had been shot. So it's almost like he either stopped in the street for somebody he knew, or some people stopped him, you know, in order to, uh, to Rob him. But, um, yeah, that was, um, it's terrible. At 62, he had had my understanding worked at the same company for about 30 years. So he sounded like a, you know, a stable individual and, uh, just happened to run into, um, some gun violence. Probably like I said, it sounds like probably for robbery of the cash and jewelry, uh, really were not found on his person. Did you have any other, uh, any other details? Scarlett (03:02): No, it's, it's just, you know, it's, it's super tragic. Um, this man seemed like a lovely person and it was just so sad. It was, you know, his 62nd birthday, he was out celebrating and, um, that this happened to him and you know, that his family still doesn't unfortunately have any answers. This is still an ongoing investigation. Roy (03:21): Yeah. And if we can backtrack on our time, I know we talked a little bit about this. In our last episode, we had a, another person out of new Iberia. Uh, but, um, at this timeframe he was found December 5th, 2015. If my math is right, this is at a point when the new Iberia police department had been disbanded. And so, uh, I think that was from 2004 to 2018. Is that correct? Yep, that's correct. Okay. So this was a point when the new Iberia police department had been disbanded. And so the, um, new, the, excuse me, the Iberia parish Sheriff's office is the one that's been handling the ...

  • Carolyn Riggins Found Deceased

    Carolyn Riggins Found Deceased
    2020/11/02

    UPDATE:  On Monday, October 26, 2020 the local media reported that the body and missing vehicle of Carolyn Riggins had been located. Hunters in Cooke County had discovered the vehicle and authorities had found her body soon after. There was little other information disclosed at this time.

    On the Finding Carolyn FaceBook page is states the family is still raising money for an investigator, independent autopsy, and forensics. 

    www.mysteriesofthebayou.com

    Roy (00:01):

    Hello, and welcome to another episode of mysteries of the Bayou podcast. My name is Roy and I'm Scarlet. So today, uh, this is going to be like a mini mini update episode. We actually, uh,  one of the cases that we covered on our very first episode and just released, there has been some, um, new activity in the case. It was the finding Carolyn Riggins. She is the, she is the lady that went missing out of Fort worth, Texas back in July. And, uh, they still, uh, actually just this week, a couple of the local news outlets announced that they had found her car and her in it in cook County, but the, the information was very sparse and they didn't, they really didn't go into any more details. They just, uh, you know, I'm sure they're holding everything close to see if there was foul play and if they need to, um, you know, have a, an investigation into this further. And, um, um, Scarlet, you found saw some information on the family's web on the family's Facebook post, correct?

    Scarlett (01:16):

    Correct. Yeah. Um, we've been kind of monitoring the family, uh, finding Carolyn Facebook page and, uh, it looks like there's a GoFundMe page. It looks like the family is, um, trying to raise money for their own, uh, forensic investigation, um, their own private autopsy, uh, attorney fees and, um, some forensic investigation on the car that, uh, Carolyn was found in. So, uh, it looks like there could be possibly still updates in this case to come.

    Roy (01:48):

    Yeah. Yeah. We just wanted to reach out, let everybody know that, um, you know, that they're happy that they had found her and the car, but really technically that's the only information that we have, except for the fact that her, um, you know, Facebook page still talks about them raising money and doing, uh, they actually also said that her, um, she went missing and was found under suspicious circumstances. So that kind of tells us that there'll probably be more to this coming soon, but we will keep you updated. They speculated that, uh, they are doing an autopsy that could take it a couple months. So may not be any time soon, but as soon as we have more information, we will certainly let you know you have anything else before we go.

    Scarlett (02:38):

    No, sounds

    Roy (02:40):

    Good. All right. Again, thanks everybody for listening. You can find us again, www.mysteriesofthebayou.com. You can also find us on, uh, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. We do have a Facebook group. Once we get enough episodes out there, we hope to, uh, stimulate some discussion on these cases and also check us out on YouTube. We will be posting a live record, or we were recording, be posting the recorded episode that we are doing, uh, from this point going forward. So until then, thank you very much.

  • Evangeline Parish Louisiana Jane Doe

    Evangeline Parish Louisiana Jane Doe
    2020/10/27
    Partially buried skeletal remains were uncovered while on an organized search for a missing boy back in December of 2018.  Evangeline Jane Doe was found in a rural, grassy area in Ville Platte, Louisiana. The identity of this woman remains unknown. Forensic experts at LSU FACES were able to determine a few key points of her identity. However, no sketch for Evangeline Jane Doe has been made available thus far. Authorities have very little to go off, and the case has since gone cold.  Further testing is available through public funding at the 501(c)3 non-profit, DNA Doe Project. After a night of bingo, grandmother and mother Carolyn Riggins disappeared.  70-year-old Carolyn Riggins was last seen on July 11th, 2020 at the Watauga Road Bingo in the Fort Worth, Texas area.  Carolyn had reportedly been on a winning streak that week and had scored a few winning pots the night she went missing.  Authorities were able to establish a partial timeline. Her 2002 tan Lincoln Town Car was caught on camera on I35 driving north of her home and was time stamped for 5:30 AM on July 12th.  Her family have created a Facebook page called “Finding Carolyn” for anyone that might have further information. www.mysteriesofthebayou.com   Scarlett (00:03): Yeah. Roy (00:03): Hey, hello, and welcome to the mysteries of the by you podcast, where you are a true pod, true crime podcast. We're going to be focusing on, uh, cases that come out of Southwest Louisiana, Louisiana as a whole. And of course beyond we don't, we're not going to be totally locked into the area, but my name is Roy and this is Scarlet. Hello, Scarlet. How's it going? Pretty good. How about you? I'm good. Good. You know, I'm based in the Dallas Fort worth area. The reason for my passion for this is not only for the true crime part, but for the area is spent a lot of time down there and it's kinda my adopted hometown area. Uh, I love the people, the food, the culture. Um, there's nothing about it that I don't like. So I like to spend as much time down there as I can. And Scarlet is based in the, uh, you're out of the Lafayette area, correct? Scarlett (00:59): Correct. Yeah. I, um, uh, I, I grew up here and I'm back here and I second everything you just said, except for, I don't like the hurricanes, the mosquitoes and the audio, but you guys have a little bit of that yourselves too, so we're all kind of in the same boat. Roy (01:14): Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had the, an extra dose of the hurricanes this year. It seems like I know that you've, uh, you've had two of them that you've dodged in the last month or so. Scarlett (01:23): Yeah. And guess what? We have some, I think there's a tropical storm, uh, midweek this week and we're almost in November, so Roy (01:31): Gosh. Yeah. They said it's been a while. I know we made it through our alphabet and then they started working on this, the Greek alphabet or some other kind of alphabet, but anyway. Scarlett (01:43): Yeah. Roy (01:43): Right, right. So I'm going to tell, you know, we'll both kind of tell our story on this episode. We want to, um, you know, why we got into this, why it's important for us. Uh, first a couple of things. Number one, you can find us on iTunes, Stitcher, Google play, and Spotify. We have a website www dot mysteries of the, by you. We're on a Facebook Facebook page and a Facebook group. Eventually we hope to, you know, have enough followers and enough interest that we want to get into some group discussions. We also want you to reach out to us if you have a case submission ideas or especially if you have any information on something that we're talking about, um, you can, all, you can reach out to info at mysteries of the, by you or Roy or Scarlet, either1@mysteriesofthebayou.com. We'll be glad to answer you. Roy (02:40): Or, um, you know, on Facebook you can send us some meshes, whatever, whatever works best. But I got into this true crime. Um, w when I was a kid, there were three girls that went missing from a mall here in the Fort worth, in, in Fort worth and no trace of them ever. So there were some renewed interest. Um, probably, uh, two, three, four years ago, local guy did a podcast. And I thought it was really interesting because, you know, this is something that's been around with not much activity on it for the last 40 years. So there was another girl who unfortunately, a little bit older than me that was murdered in, uh, the same timeframe about 1974. And, uh, he also covered her case, brought a lot of renewed interest. And then lo and behold, about a month ago, um, the police actually, uh, saw, well, they think they solved the case. Roy (03:40): They arrested a guy, processed him. It was a new form of DNA that they were able to extract some, uh, uh, use a smaller amount of DNA and get more out of it. So it was unbelievable, but, uh, I think what, what I didn't understand at the time is that how it, especially in 2020, but how could people just fall off the face of the earth ...
