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.

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
    Nov 30 2020
    “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 ...
