They should get Dave Robicheaux on this.

Sad, really. No one should have to die like that.

Either the boyfriend did it, or she was promised a lot of money to bang someone and that someone found it easier to dismember her than pay her. I'm gonna go with a John who didn't want to pay.

They'll never catch him and he'll probably do it again.

You have a very narrow imagination there.

It takes a trivial amount of money to sex up a stripper and even less money just tell her to go fark herself after she does the deed because what's she gonna do? Go to the cops and admit she engaged in an illegal activity?

On the other hand, serial killers are all over the world and any one of them would be more than happy to dismember someone and toss their bits over the side of a boat.

She worked at Temptations, which is where the Aerosmith video rag doll was filmed.

Temptations is a fairly decent strip club, I haven't been since 2000 but I did have a good time on the top floor without paying a dime. But I was a manager at Pat Os at the time, and rank hath is privileges.

Here is her highschool homecoming pic.

Well, I've seen plenty of stories about hookers killed because they were too mouthy, or the guy just felt it was easier to kill her than pay her. Maybe she said he had a small dick? He flipped out and chopped her up.

Maybe she attacked him when he refused to pay, or he wanted something a little more wild than she was willing to sell him.

That realm is not inhabited by the most rash of thinkers, and rash actors generally tend to be the people who wind up in prison for beating someone with a tire iron over a $100 poker debt or something else equally as stupid.

Serial Killers are a helluva lot more rare than the media makes them out to be. Sure, it's possible, but I'm willing to stick with my theory. I'd just hope that he'd caught before he does it again then we're talking about more than just an angry John. Because, if that's his victim type, he's got a whole lot to choose from in that area of the country.

poe_zlaw: "The torso was discovered Thursday evening by workers pumping sand onto the beach in Bay St. Louis near South Beach Boulevard and Bay Oaks Drive."

The beaches in Louisiana suck so bad they have to have sand pumped to them.

What beaches? Grand Isle. Bay St Louis is in Mississippi.

theflatline: What beaches? Grand Isle.

Heh... When I went to Univ. of Southwestern Louisiana, I told this guy from Abbeville that I was from Rhode Island. His response: "Hey, is dat down near Grand Isle?"

uhh.. the beach in the article where it says "...by workers pumping sand onto the BEACH in Bay St Louis near south BEACH boulevard......."

Ahhh and my point is that your comment concludes that Bay St. Louis is in Louisiana. The body was dumped and found in Mississippi.

Agreed on all points and favorites for the Robicheaux ref.

Poor girl.

Less seriously I'm torn between making a zombie reference and remarking how much I hated the New Orleans-set episodes of Bones because they got my city so wrong.

Or the people that move down to New Orleans who mince around wearing black velvet, long hair, and frilly shirts hiding their pot bellies, giving voodoo tours and misinformation.

Very few (if any) psychopaths go around killing nurses, secretaries, or primary school teachers -- jobs that have traditionally been held by women. No, they target sex workers because those women have been marginalized by society. Perhaps if society would stop being so farking retarded about sex, sex workers would no longer be marginalized, thus receiving the same legal protections and respect that workers in other occupations do.

It will never change, because nothing's more human than wanting someone to look down on.

Being a dual citizen of the US and a country where sex workers are legal, and afforded the same protections legally as any other worker, they are still looked down upon. Many whores in country where whores are legal do not do it as hail mary pass to make money, they do because it is easier than working a 9-5 and pays better.

I do not look down on whores, but making it legal will not change the seediness of it.

Sorry, I'm quite new to posting on this site and I have yet to understant the filter system. I used the word 'Boobieser', I'm not quite sure why that's considered a curse word.. ?
Oh well. I will learn. Or run away crying. Either way..

The events that led to Lockhart's death, dismemberment and disposal, Bass said, are "inconceivable."

Too much?

I'm sure Big Brother was watching. They know who she left the French Quarter with. Rather, they know what he looks like.

GoldDude: A real class act, the boyfriend. They paid $50 cash every day for the hotel, I'm guessing in stripper-singles. The boyfriend couldn't pay for the room almost immediately after the death. I guess living off the avails of your girlfriend stipping is easier than looking for a job. He didn't even accompany her to and from her job for safety? Too busy doing drugs in the hotel room she paid for. Wouldn't surprise me if he were the killer, just going with the odds.

More like they couldn't afford for him to take a cab back home after escorting her to the club. Or did you expect him to hang out on the street for her whole shift?

I suspect you're right, though, that both of them were drug users. But it's completely irrelevant to the situation. I doubt someone grabbed her outside the club. Probably she was trying to make a little extra cash by turning tricks and it went bad. And yeah, this won't be the last woman this guy kills.
