School System Appreciates Inmate Worker Program

Dear Sheriff Neustrom:

The inmates along with Deputy Jon Fremin and Deputy John O'Neal have worked very hard at painting the Lafayette Parish Vermilion Conference Center. At the Conference Center we have 21 offices and 5 conference rooms, all of which were painted by the inmates and supervised by the Deputies. We would like to thank you for allowing these hard working inmates and Deputies to come here and do such a wonderful job for the Lafayette Parish School System. The supervisors and inmates were very courteous and thoughtful in all their work and actions. It really speaks highly of our Sheriff and everyone in his department. Thank you again for helping fulfill a need in our parish. Sincerely, Gary Meade, Staff Development Strategist & Burnell Lemoine, Deputy Superintendant and Chief Academic Officer Lafayette Parish School System

Task Force Releases Composite of Person of Interest

Tuesday, December 31, 2002

The Multi Agency Homicide Task Force is releasing a composite of a “person of interest”. The task force has developed information regarding a white male – possibly 30 to 40 years old, observed in the area of the 1300 block of Mills Road, north of Interstate 10 within the city of Scott, LA located in Lafayette Parish. The person was observed on Thursday, November 21, during the middle of the day. He is described as having an intense and intimidating stare.

This “person of interest” was sitting in a vehicle described as a 90’s model, white pickup truck, front and rear chrome bumpers, chrome grill, (possibly “after-market”) and chrome side mirrors.

At this time, this person is not considered a suspect, but rather someone who may have information pertinent to the Colomb investigation.

Currently, due to recent weather conditions, the phone company is experiencing technical difficulties, therefore this temporary number

1-866-973-2734

is being used until the problem is corrected. People are urged to contact the task force hot line if they recognize this person and/or his vehicle. All information will be handled in a confidential manner.
