I’m the daughter of William Thibodeaux and I’m so deeply hurt that he was taken from his kids that love him very much. My dad was a great man who never met a stranger everyone that met him loved him and respected him because he respected everyone and would give the shirt off his back for someone in need like literally I seen him do it a few times. He isn’t even from New Orleans he went out there with someone he thought he was safe with they had just met through mutual people the reason is unknown why he went to New Orleans he called me when he was on his way to N.O and said he was just taking a ride with Chris (Billy) and they was coming back to Lake Charles where he was living. I have been racking my brain losing sleep for over a year now since this tragedy happened trying to figure out what went on and what caused someone to take my dad’s life. I pray we get answers one day we deserve to know wat happened to our dad. I wish someone would come forward and give us answers for closure. I miss my dad so much a piece of me died with him life has been hell since the day someone took my dad away from me and my siblings. My dad taught me everything a dad teaches his daughter but he never taught me to

live without him… if anyone has information please look me up on Facebook Tori Blaire.

I’m so sorry you’re carrying this , no one should have to grieve like this or keep wondering what happened to their dad. I read the initial reports that New Orleans police arrested 48‑year‑old Billy Dietrich and he was booked on a second‑degree murder charge. Did something happen that fell through a conviction or is the case still going through the court system?
Hey everyone,
I've been following the William Thibodaux case closely and feel for all his loved ones. One thing that's been on my mind is the neighborhood dynamics in Broadmoor, where he was found. I used to live in New Orleans, and while it's generally a vibrant area, it's unfortunately known for its occasional safety issues. I'm wondering if any local residents noticed anything unusual in the days leading up to the tragedy? Sometimes neighbors see things that seem insignificant at first but can be crucial to an investigation.
Also, it's really puzzling that there's still no solid motive released—anyone have theories on what the connection between William and Billy Dietrich could have been? It's hard to wrap my head around an event like this happening in a community that so many call home. Sending all my support to William's family as they navigate this incredibly tough time.
I came across this case while following local news updates, and it's just awful to think about the pain William Thibodaux’s family must be going through right now. Something that I've been pondering is how quickly an arrest was made. It seems like the authorities were on top of this from the get-go, which makes me wonder if there were witnesses or some strong evidence that led to Billy Dietrich’s arrest so swiftly.
Also, I couldn't help but wonder about the relationship between William and Billy—were they acquaintances? The fact that no motive has been released yet leaves so many questions. Maybe the police are keeping details under wraps to preserve the integrity of their ongoing investigation. For the family’s sake, I hope more information comes to light soon, and anyone with answers steps forward—this must be a tough time for them, trying to make sense of everything. My heart goes out to them.
