And now… Bruce Fowler, Andre’s youngest son, is also gone. He was a good guy, unfairly treated by an employer, not so long ago. I respected him but recognized that he wasn’t always careful about the company he kept.
Thanks for giving it a read! There is no definative evidence to say there was police corruption, but it was hard to write the story without adding the multiple cases at the time.
Tough case to figure out. What is still shocking is the murder rate in NO – though down last year (193), it was 280 in 2022. That level of carnage is bound to leave behind reckless, chaotic and unresolved killings
Nice work... thank you...
