On March 26, 1976, 33-year-old Mary Ann Perez, a mother of three from St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, went out with friends to a local bar in Chalmette, just outside New Orleans. She left her teenage daughter, Donna, to watch her younger children, assuring her she would call to check in later. That evening, Donna received a call from her mother, stating she was okay and would be home shortly. However, the next morning, Perez's car was found in the bar's parking lot, appearing to be in working order. Three days later, her purse was discovered in Lake Pontchartrain, weighted down by a brick. Perez was nowhere to be found.
In 1980, a drifter named David Courtney admitted that he and his wife, Donna, had killed five women across several states. One of the murders bore striking similarities to Perez's disappearance. Courtney claimed he had abducted a woman from a bar in New Orleans, convinced her to go with him, and later strangled her in the back seat of their car. He identified Perez from a photo lineup but couldn't recall where they left her body.
On November 28, 1976, hunters in a wooded area off Old Pascagoula Road in Grand Bay, Alabama, discovered skeletal remains. The identity of the woman remained a mystery for decades. In 2018, Detective J.T. Thornton revisited the case and suspected the remains might belong to Perez. DNA testing confirmed the match, providing closure to a 42-year-old cold case.
Despite David Courtney's confession, he was never charged with Perez's murder. He is currently serving a life sentence in Kansas for an unrelated killing. Donna Courtney served 10 years for her part in the killings and died two decades ago. Authorities believe Perez was slain in New Orleans, and there is potential for charges to be filed in Orleans Parish. ...Read More

I have always known the law and powerful people were involved in Kenny's murder. After he went missing I was fallowed and stalked by people, some looked like cops or undercover investigators and some looked like crooks, mobsters and drug dealers. And the law have never questioned me or asked me anything about what happened even though I know all of this information. I know that there are still people out there who want to shut me up. Cops have never tried to help me with the investigation they've only harrassed me and put bogus charges on me and have literally tried to pin stuff on me and send me to jail. When Ive tried to talk about Kenny to cops they either played dumb and wanted no part of it had 0 interest or they literally ignored me and acted as if I was not even speaking all while attempting to railroad me and lock me up. I have never even done drugs and I've always tried to live a legal abiding life. I'm now a father and husband works and makes an honest living.

In larger quantity than was actually legal for people to buy over the table from the pharmacy. Because sudophedrine was a main ingredient for making meth. This guy made so much money so fast from this illegal scam he was running that he Invested money into opening a franchised gas station. He built one location in Harrisburg just after Kenny went missing the construction crew was hired to start laying down the concrete foundation for the gas station. The crew that was hired was ran by and guy who was directly involved in the selling of meth and was a direct affiliate of Twinkies. I believe Kennys remains may have been put in the concrete of that gas station in Harrisburg. And the people running that are so rich and powerful and have the law and the judges and every body and everything In their pockets. It would literally take a miracle and some kind of super lawyer and the power of the federal goverment to ever expose this thing and bring criminals to justice and find out the truth.

Around new years I went to my mom's house in Jonesboro, a few days after new years my grandmother, Kenny's mom called me asking if I had seen Kenny, I told her the last time I had seen him was the night he came back from Twinkies after getting into a fight. As I talked to people around town and people who knew Kenny and were last around him all said he was headed to Twinkies house, but supposedly there was a cop there who was involved in Chandlers drug operation Wich was the same ring we were involved in at one time. It was said that they shot and killed Kenny and disposed of his body and several people were supposedly involved in the murder and the cover up. People who were involved in the drug operation who also had a lot of money and power. Through the years I learned that a guy who was once the manager of the food giant grocery store in Harrisburg used to sell sudofed pills from the food giant pharmacy for cheap prices and sold them to the local meth co
