While I'm aware that there are some who think the Jennings murders aren't related, I think it's possible. Particularly when you include a couple of other murdered/ missing women in the Lake Charles, Alexandria, and Houma areas, along with reported missing in South Louisiana. I think that the fact that the Jennings women knew each other is secondary to the fact that they were easy targets who hung out in a remote area and in a vulnerable state. I would think that in a drug related killing, the women wouldn't be found nude- just found shot. I think that the spacings in murders point to someone who isn't always in the area- Possible Oilfield? There's also been a few bodies of women found nude in Houston that could possibly be linked.
Four corners in Lafayette, the intersection of University and Cameron St. in Lafayette, is a known area for drug/Prostitution activity. It's not that far from St. Landry, and if you're looking for a easy target- a woman on a bike at 2am is one.
Below is information on the Jennings victims, 1 from Moss Bluff (near Lake Charles), and 1 from Houma. There's also a few disappearances in the Alexandria/Pineville area that could possibly be related. I've included that information below. There is also a woman reported missing from Crowley, LA yesterday- Christina Spence. Crowley is between Jennings and Lafayette. There's a Find Christina Spence page that was put up on Facebook.
There are also a few missing teenagers listed as Runaways that I haven't included. I do think it's possible we have a serial killer in the South Louisiana area- thoughts?

Jennings, LA May 12, 2007 -Whitnei Charlene Dubois -- Mother of a 5 year-old daughter, 26 year-old Whitnei was found, nude, on a lonely gravel road just three miles southeast of Jennings; near the secluded intersection of Bobby and Earl Duhon roads on May 12, 2007. She was the first victim to be left on a rural road rather than in a canal. A cause of death has not been given, nor has much else been released about what happened to Whitnei. Her sisters, Brittany and Taylor, search the Internet - and occasionally post online - in their desperate search for answers.
Jennings, LA: May 28, 2008- LaConia Shontel "Muggy" Brown - Known as "Muggy" to family and friends, 23 year-old LaConia Brown was last seen by her grandmother. Only hours later, a city police officer stumbled upon her body - nude and doused in bleach - in the middle of a gravel road on the city/parish border that led to a known police shooting range. Her body, found on May 28, 2008, was located two miles south of where her best friend, Brittany Gary's, body would later be found.
Jennings, LA: September 11, 2008 -Crystal Shay Benoit Zeno, is found - Crystal's body was so badly decomposed by the time it was found it would be two months before the young woman could be identified. The 24 year-old had been left in a dry canal a couple of miles southeast of Jennings. Her cause of death is either undetermined or unreleased.
Jennings, LA November 15, 2008 - Brittany Ann Gary - The 17 year-old was described by her mother, Teresa Gary, as "a quiet but goofy girl who was easy to talk to and could get along with anyone". The Gary family had "left to find a new life" in Texas and had stayed with relatives in Lufkin and Houston. Whatever they were looking for they must not have found, for they returned to Jennings, Louisiana less than a week before Brittany went missing. Brittany - who knew the other victims - was "scared" and, as she told her mother, mistrustful of people she might once have considered friends. A walking trip to a local Family Dollar Store on November 2 to purchase minutes for her cell phone was the last anyone heard from Brittany. Her body was found November 15, 2008
