Well I dug a hole for a dry well two years ago, it was 5 ft deep and 4 feet diameter. It took me 4 hours and it was wet clay dirt. I kind of got smart after I got it going, I jumped in the hole after two feet with a shovel you use for a fire place and a big bucket. It was way faster believe it or not. It was like scooping out water from a sink with a cup.

If they find more victims.....he could have had this spot dug deep long ago and just kept going back to the same place. Terrible thought..i know..but you never know with this guy.

Hi Sleuthers. A newbie here. KLFY just ran a story about BSL's connection to Ali Lowitzer from Spring, TX with information given by her family's private investigator

Ali is the first missing person here in Texas I thought of when BSL was linked here!!! I still see missing person fliers and stickers for Ali. I also remember when she went missing. . .

This is hitting WAAAAAY to close to home on both parts for me...

Born and raised in Laffy and live in Houston now.

For those of you who don't understand south Louisiana geneaology...my great-great-great grandmother was a Leger. I don't know a single one.

I understand that there are a lot of common surnames in Acadiana, and sharing the last name with someone doesn't mean you're related to them or know them. However in this instance, the gf's father does own the company at that address.

Don't know about Church Point. I do know about the Broussards all over the world who are descendants of three Broussard children who were driven here from Canada. I'm a descendant of Anne, the sister. My hubs is a descendant of Joseph, one of her brothers. One of my professors was a descendant of Alexander, the other brother.
At the last Broussard family reunion, a feat in & of itself, the tally was @ 250,000. Yes, that's right. It filled volumes of books & many CDs. I had never met hubs before. Never met my professor before.
If you have the time & aspirin, & are interested, Rev Donald Hébert of Mire published over 30 volumes of birth, marriage & death certificates from all over the Acadiana area, even venturing into Galveston. It's there you can see who is related to whom. I'm an Hébert too, way back, like the Leger. I didn't know him till I met him.

I hope this doesn't come off disrespectfully, Donamena. I just had a feeling there may be a misunderstanding here. It seems like you may be thinking the initials "gf" mean grandfather? As in the father of the grandfather owns the business. But we are referring to the father of BSLs girlfriend, so the last name being the same is probably more than a genealogical coincidence.

April 26, 2010 15 y/o AL went missing near Spring, TX. No clues as to what has happened has surfaced.

Family PI thinks BSL may be connected; Mac Sanford (PI) states that red flag was raised with news of burning truck in SJ County. Two separate tips were called in at the time of the disappearance about a white truck pulled over where Ali was walking. First few digits were given, but no TX plates matched up. Recently, the PI checked LA plates.

At the time Ali was missing, BSL owned a 2005 GMC white truck; the license plate matching the numbers given by the phoned in tips. PI has taken info to Harris County police who are working case.

I wonder where that truck is now?

 

[danzn16]

Was that 2005 GMC white truck listed on ACI's list of owned vehicles earlier?

 

[gngr~snap]

I wonder where that truck is now?

Anyone know the plate number or part of it?
I have a plate number I want checked out!

It's from a white Chevy Tahoe pick up. The tag is 2009. not sure the yr of the truck.

 

[gngr~snap]

No. It wasn't. Could he have rented or borrowed it?

 

[RWRNHZ40]

I wonder where that truck is now?

Not sure, but I do know it was registered in

Registration Date: 12/17/09

Followed by:

and a few others




BIG thanks to A.C.I. for the listing.

Has Ali ever been found..her body?

Now I'm confused; that truck was on the list.

random thoughts from an evening walk
Re: the three mysterious mounds. I lived in a rent house that was under repair by two guys who were friends with each other and then got in a huge, vocal argument with each other. I had to leave before it ended, but the next day, there was a plot of upturned earth and no sign of either man. Their absence went on for days. My roomie and I speculated that the loser of the argument might be buried there but neither of us wanted to check! Later, both men were back on the job, and it turned out that one of the guys had overheard me saying something about wanting a garden and thought to give some help by starting the plot.

So, in the farmer's case, it might be that there was someone wanting to plant--an illegal cash crop perhaps? I admit it doesn't make much sense that there were three plots. Also, it doesn't make much sense because Louisiana landowners are in my experience especially passionate about their landownership. For this reason, a closer watch might be kept on one's property here. I guess I'm talking myself out of the case I was making here...

Moving along to look at this from another angle...the number of plots has me wondering. Could it be that there was something planned on a grander scheme by BSL? (i.e., three abductees?)

The method by which he abducted MS, the bump-and-grab, seemed to indicate more of a mind geared more toward spontaneity than planning. Then I think back about the multiple IDs of other women found in his home.

An earlier poster wondered how he might be in a position to collect them. If he has the IDs of MS and LP, these are women whose lives he invaded in the worst way. There are other, less permanent ways of collecting IDs however. We know BSL has burgled before. What if he burgled or creeped (a la Charles Manson) homes of potential victims? This would provide him with an opportunity to lift other IDs.

This really bugs me because in addition to their legitimate, legal purpose, the IDs also serve as a "calling card" and perhaps eventually as a different kind of trophy. What better way to remember what a target looks like and where she lives?

Thanks, I knew I had seen a 2005 GMC listed in this post, and was looking for it when you posted it. While this does not give the color of that particular truck, it is very reasonable to guess that it, too, was white, since both his 2011 that he torched and its 2009 replacement were both white. Seems it was his color of choice for trucks...Maybe, as some have suggested, there are so many of them, and they dont tend to stand out and get noticed as easily. JMO

Not saying I'd be surprised if he was connected in Ali's case...but it almost seems to simple, if that makes sense (and like he should have been caught a long time ago if all this info is correct).

Bolded by me. I just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly- someone (or multiple someones) saw the GMC white truck (and we know from ACI he at one time had a GMC white truck) with Louisiana plate numbers matching BSL's in the area when Ali went missing?
If so, why was he never questioned before about Ali as a RSO driving a truck with a matching description and license plate number seen driving around the neighborhood when she was taken? Wouldn't they run LE run the plate, see he's a RSO and talk to him? Wouldn't we know by now (after his arrest) he was talked to after Ali went missing? Was his then-truck caught on camera in the area when Ali went missing (otherwise it seems unlikely people would just remember the truck's plates unless it was doing something suspicious as they wouldn't know Ali was missing yet if it was in the area soon after/before/when Ali was taken- hope that makes sense).

Are we (or KLFY, I guess) absolutely sure about this? I hope the police where Ali went missing, FBI, etc are all over this!

 

[Kateinfl]

If Ali hasn't been found..they should start looking at all of the off beaten paths of cemeteries there. I'm telling you..this guy has a thing for cemeteries.....THE WACKO> jmo

 

[Montjoy]

If I had to dig a five foot grave with a shovel, by the time I was finished, I would be ready for it.

Indeed. I have not done enough research, and don't know if this is still a graveyard in which people are still interred, but could there have been graves dug in advance of a burial? That could explain the depth, if that detail is accurate. Not likely an easy feat to dig a 5 foot grave manually.

But more to the point, a five foot grave is really overkill.

 

[MamaRoux]

Wouldn't it have been great if google earth captured him digging away at the sight?

If it was dated May 31st, was a mound of dirt visible?

 

[Jkg005]

By George I think you've got it!

Hope you don't mind me jumping off your post. Question, suppose they now have an indictment against BSL for Ali's death wouldn't be be tried for that first? Not sure if she was before Lisa or not so I may be jumping the gun. And if that is the case and he is put away for life would he be able to return to be tried for Lisa and Mickey's deaths. If not maybe he is in fact going to be THE witness since he may not be able to return??? Hope this made sense. Again this is just a question as I have no idea what procedure would be in a case like this. I know one of you will be able to address. Thanks in advance

Hello, my apologies if I am not posting this in the correct place, as I am a new user to this incredible site... My name is Mac Sanford, and I'm the PI that was hired by the family of missing 15y/o Ali Lowitzer in Houston, TX, more than 2 years ago. <modsnip> I'm still in need of a few items of information, and I think that the missing pieces may have been covered in one of these forums, but I'm realizing that there is a substantial learning curve involved with navigating this site!! Is there a "Search" feature on here, anywhere? Should I just state what it is that I'm looking for in regards to Lavergne on this thread?
