The cases inside.
In The New Orleans Files, J.R. Stranahan follows seven carefully documented cases from Orleans and Jefferson parishes. The record begins with the unidentified Axeman and the 1973 Howard Johnson siege, then moves through the murder of Kim Groves, the triple murder at Kim Anh restaurant, the Louisiana Pizza Kitchen killings, the death of Jaren Lockhart, and the Danziger Bridge shootings and cover-up.
Drawing on court opinions, Justice Department records, public archives, and responsible reporting, this account explains what investigators alleged, what witnesses testified, what courts decided, and what remained unresolved as of September 2, 2026.
