Dead Family Walking: The guru of death row inmates, Sister Helen Prejean, wrote a book Dead Man Walking. One of the victims' family has finally answered her in DEAD FAMILY WALKING. available from the publisher www.deadfamilywalking.com.Sister Helen Prejean is a fountain of misinformation; all taken as fact because of course a nun wouldn't lie. (They can be deceived, naive and gullible, however) She has never answered why the murderers get more support than the victims or their families. She says this is not her intent, but it is the end result.

D. D. deVinci
On
November 5,
1977, the Bourque's teenage daughter, Loretta, was found murdered in a
trash pile near
the city of New Iberia, Louisiana lying side by side near her boyfriend–with
three well-placed bullet holes behind each head. No apparent motive. Very
little clues.
WHAT THE PUBLIC
KNEW
While the families
of the murdered teenagers tried to find closure, a Catholic nun becomes
spiritual advisor to one brother on death row and made it her mission to
defend him, arguing that the crime was a single act of violence for which the
other brother was solely responsible. Her attempts failed, killer is executed
in 1984 when she and killer vow love for each other before he dies. Nun takes
body to Baton Rouge for free funeral and mass performed by Bishop. Fifteen
nuns brought in from New Orleans to attend funeral for stranger. Body laid to
rest in Baton Rouge cemetery on sacred ground. Nun later writes book: Dead
Man Walking.
WHAT THE PUBLIC
DID NOT KNOW
Prior to the
murders, posing as police, the brothers would hunt people on weekends
kidnapping an
estimated 30
couples. Boys would be handcuffed in view of girls being held down, raped,
threatened
and released.
Secret conversation with Catholic priest revealed killer's funeral staged by
Church
hierarchy to
protest capital punishment and said Bishop was subdued. Funeral home pressured
for
free funeral.
Grounds keeper of cemetery said nun went behind Mother Superior's back to have
killer
buried. Thirty
days after burial, upset nuns secretly tried to have killer's corpse
disinterred.
After 6 years of
trials and appeals, the devout-Catholic Bourques hoped with the killer's
execution
they could put the
nightmare behind them and find some peace with which to live. Instead, the
surprising scorn from Church leaders in Baton Rouge was just the beginning of
family pain causing them to stop attending church—but they eventually returned
with unexpected disrespect for Church personnel.
Nun's book
contains questionable embellishments and according to one victim's parent who
was sent a manuscript of Dead Man Walking, "There were lies in there!"
Incarcerated Governor Edwards writes
jailhouse letter
contradicting nun's version of killer's last day and her secret whereabouts
the night of killer's execution. Thirty days before execution, killer divulges
details to homicide detective of shocking death-row proposal including
confessing his hunger to kill again.
Victim's family endures 25 unsuccessful years of seeking closure, finally
contracting investigator to dig-up details of crime and fallacies of Dead
Man Walking. Disgusting discovery found in killer's briefcase stored in
courthouse evidence room for 20 years. Divine message from God to young child
pertaining to murdered girl deciphered 15 years later in 2004. Surprise
conversation with homicide detective reveals details of an unknown American
hero that will warm the hearts of all who read this story.
