True Crime Louisiana / Book 3

The Shreveport and Bossier Files

The Red River connects Shreveport and Bossier City, but the criminal record of northwest Louisiana reaches through different courts, parishes, and decades. In The Shreveport and Bossier Files, J.R. Stranahan examines seven carefully documented cases: the Cedar Grove murders attributed to Nathaniel Code, the wrongful conviction of Glenn Ford for the murder of Isadore Rozeman, the murder of Mary Malone in Plain Dealing, the killings of Jeremiah, Jarquis, and Gene Adams, the murder of twelve-year-old Justin Bloxom, the overturned prosecution of Rodricus Crawford after the death of his son Roderius, and the line-of-duty murder of Officer Thomas LaValley.
