Summary

In a small Louisiana town, eight women vanished over five years—their bodies discovered in canals and along desolate roads. As investigators dismissed them as troubled women living high-risk lives, families and witnesses pieced together a far more disturbing pattern of corruption and cover-ups. When private investigator Ethan Brown arrived to research these murders, he found a community paralyzed by fear, crime scenes compromised beyond recognition, and witnesses who kept dying after speaking out. The deeper he dug, the more the official narrative unraveled, revealing a system where those meant to protect the vulnerable might be the very people they needed protection from. What really happened to the Jeff Davis 8? And in a town where everyone has secrets, how far will some go to keep theirs buried?
