Donna Arceneaux, 40, a mother of three from just outside Franklinton, Louisiana, was found in her bed in October 2017 with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. Friends discovered her after they were unable to reach her. An initial classification by the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office included suggestions of suicide, but the official autopsy ruled her death a homicide.

The case drew years of frustration from Arceneaux’s family and was transferred to the Louisiana State Police in 2019 at the family’s request. Public attention increased after her nephew, Tucker Simmons, produced a podcast called Freeze Frame that examined the case and questioned how it had been handled.

In December 2025, authorities arrested 59-year-old Troy Scott Jordan of Franklinton and charged him with second-degree murder; a grand jury returned an indictment in January 2026. The matter is now pending in Washington Parish. Does anyone have information about Donna, her relationships, or the months leading up to October 2017?
