Locals and Kenny. What is the crime rate in that area, and in particular, what are the top three criminal activities? Shane most likely would not have walked very far missing one shoe. I am always concerned when an individual goes missing near a body of water. No field sobriety test was administered for alcohol or drugs, so Shane should have been clear headed and not disoriented. Kenny, was Shane left or right handed? Which shoe was in the ditch? What person(s) would Shane most likely have called to come get him if family was not available? I find it odd that LE would have left Shane alone in that area, even if he said a ride was on the way. It's too remote. This is not adding up.
I'm so excited you're back on here.... i will try to remember to message Kenny tomorrow to come answer questions about Shane, but i can answer the local questions.
So, New Orleans, as a whole, is really dangerous. I say everything in nola is done with big passion, so our food, our music, our celebrations, our joy is just explosive, but so is our brutal crime. But, he wasnt in new orleans, technically. He was across the river on the Westbank. So, its mostly neighborhood, small business or industrial type stuff on the river. Of course, crime doesn't begin and end with barriers, so it would not be unusual for there to be crime anywhere around here, really.
I'm just going to guess, but I hear of drug crime on the Westbank, some murder but not as much as in the city. There's lots of theft and stuff like that. I found crime stats for Jefferson parish (we have parishes, not counties) in june 2011. Another note, Jefferson parish is weird. I live in Jefferson parish. But to get to the Westbank, I would go down the interstate, throigh Orleans Parish, cross the Mississippi River and then go about 10 minutes and be back in Jefferson parish on the Westbank. It would probably take me 30 minutes. So, the parish stats don't just include that district. I will try to find out that particular district. I will attach the photo and link
