Our card this week is Sharon Glover, the Six of Spades from Louisiana. Early one morning, just two weeks before Thanksgiving, the body of a woman was found viciously stabbed to death on a rural back road in Louisiana. Rumors led this woman's family to believe that the killer was someone they knew. But detectives are now releasing new information in this case for the first time.
And they believe that there has been a different prime suspect lurking in the background of this investigation for decades. I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is The Deck. On November 14th, 1993, two locals were out driving about 20 miles outside of Shreveport, Louisiana's city center.
When they turned off the highway onto the rural Mount Olive Church Road that dead-ended at the old missionary cemetery, their headlights barely cut through a dense fog drifting through the oaks. But as the mist cleared, something caught the driver's eye in a drainage ditch. It was the body of a woman laying face down.
When they got out and saw that the woman was covered in blood and not moving, they wasted no time and quickly drove to a nearby telephone to call the sheriff's office.
Deputies was dispatched to the scene. They identified the body as a Black female. At the time, she was unknown. She still had her clothes on and everything, but she had stab wounds to her body.
That's Detective Vincent Jackson from the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office. Though not the original investigator, Detective Jackson inherited the case in December of 2024. And he discovered that he's actually distantly related to this victim through his mother's side. Sometimes these tragedies hit a little closer to home.
Now, Detective Jackson could easily imagine the place where this woman's body was found. I mean, not much has changed since the 90s. Per the old reports, her body was found lying near a turnoff to a gated gravel road that led to a private farm. Now, her head was pointed toward the wood line and her feet toward the main road.
She was wearing blue jogging pants, a multicolored camouflage halter top, and a slip-on shoe on her right foot. The left shoe was on the ground next to her. Now, the back of her shirt was soaked in what appeared to be blood, but deputies noted that no blood had pooled beneath her body and there was no blood spatter on the ground.
By about 7.30 a.m., the scene had been secured and the sheriff's lead detective and the parish coroner had arrived. Everyone gathered around to watch as the deputy coroner turned the body over so she was laying face up. It appeared that this woman had been stabbed several times in her upper chest.
