Mike MorfordHOST
On April 13, 1985, 60-year-old Dorothy Lou Thompson disappeared from St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana.
Mike MorfordHOST
On May 2, her body was recovered from the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish.
Mike MorfordHOST
Her death was clearly no accident.
Mike MorfordHOST
There was a bag over her head and over that a wire had been wrapped around her neck, strangling her.
Katie RingHOST
But for nearly three weeks, nobody knew where she was.
Katie RingHOST
Then, on May 2nd, fishermen on the east bank of the Mississippi River down in Plaquemine Parish found a body in the water.
Katie RingHOST
It was Dorothy.
Katie RingHOST
She had been wrapped in heavy steel chains to weigh her down, and a plastic bag had been tied over her head with wire.
Casey GisclairHOST
So right now the updated numbers have Cecilia at 11.75, South Lafourche at 11.53. You need those guys to lose to Karen Crow next week, and you need a win, and you need a little help.
Casey GisclairHOST
We'll see how it falls, but the Tarpons are in a position where, and look, Plaquemines is another team.
Casey GisclairHOST
They're playing Scotlandville.
Casey GisclairHOST
You would like for them to lose.
Erica VossHOST
And the people who knew the property had no confirmed explanation for where Dorothy had gone.
Erica VossHOST
On May 2nd, 1985, fishermen discovered a woman's body in the Mississippi River in neighbouring Plaquemines Parish.
Erica VossHOST
The remains were identified as Dorothy Thompson.
Erica VossHOST
She was 61 years old.
Erica VossHOST
The discovery was disturbing, not because it suggested anything paranormal, but because it showed deliberate violence and an apparent attempt to prevent the body from being found.
Erica VossHOST
The river created an immediate investigative complication.
Erica VossHOST
Dorothy had lived in St Bernard Parish, but her body was recovered in Plaquemines Parish.
Erica VossHOST
Detectives had to establish where the killing occurred, where the body entered the water, and how it had travelled.
BenHOST
As the days passed without any sort of confirmed sightings, the possibility that Dorothy had been harmed became increasingly concerning.
BenHOST
Then on May 2, 1985, fishermen working along the Mississippi River near Myrtle Grove in Plaquemines Parish discovered a woman's body caught in their fishing lines.
BenHOST
The remains were in an advanced state of decomposition, having apparently spent a considerable period submerged in the river.
BenHOST
The woman was reportedly wearing only a nightshirt and about 200 pounds of heavy chains had been wrapped around her body, clearly in an apparent attempt to prevent it from resurfacing.
Chris AlexanderHOST
So why would they lie about it? If they can do it legally, no matter how much pushback there is, Are they trying to conceal it simply because for political reasons, because they fear the continued public outcry over this, and they're simply trying to take the path of least resistance? In other words, if they can do it legally, what's the purpose of the secrecy?
Mindy GilbertGUEST
Well, I believe they know that they can't use eminent domain for this CO2 pipeline because of the Plaquemines versus Wynn, Louisiana Supreme Court case.
Mindy GilbertGUEST
And it's SB 244 that makes a, you have to have a stronger argument for public good for and a CO2 pipeline is not a common carrier?
Chris AlexanderHOST
Right, right.

Mindy GilbertGUEST
I tried to help with some of what I found about Williams Company and that treatment facility and all the gas that's coming from the Haynesville Shale, that's all for private use.
Mindy GilbertGUEST
That's all for liquefaction and LNGs.
Mindy GilbertGUEST
So I think that there's going to be an argument that that falls under the Plaquemines, Fort Harbor versus Wynn, because there's none of that is going to be available for public use.
Mindy GilbertGUEST
But so there's three cases that I'm aware of and that I've kind of involved with a little bit.
Jack JensenGUEST
We have Baton Rouge doing the The pellets, the wood pellets going to Europe for their energy.
Jack JensenGUEST
We have Plaquemines doing the LNG and on and on, and especially the LIT terminal.
Jack JensenGUEST
We're just so excited about moving forward with that.
