On Mother’s Day weekend in May 2014, 24-year-old Jacqueline Darlene Beadle was found dead in her Bossier City, Louisiana, home on Bragg Street. Her roommate, 26-year-old Karyl Cox, was also discovered deceased at the residence. Jacqueline’s mother made the discovery on the morning of May 11 after she could not reach her daughter since the previous Friday and noticed Jacqueline had not checked on her young son who was staying with his grandmother.

Jacqueline’s body was found on the bedroom floor concealed under a comforter. An autopsy described multiple injuries: a fatal contact gunshot wound over the left eyebrow, stab wounds to the neck and shoulder, defensive wounds on her hands, a blunt force injury to the nose, and various abrasions. Karyl Cox was found in her own bed, having been shot multiple times.

Investigators identified a person of interest, Brandon Butler, a friend of the two women. He was arrested in Bogalusa and transferred to Bossier Parish; prosecutors said Jacqueline’s blood and DNA were found on the underwear he had been wearing the night of the killings and his vehicle was located on Sheryl Street in Bossier. A grand jury indicted Brandon Butler on two counts of first-degree murder.

Did anyone in the area know Jacqueline or Karyl, or have information about who was with them the days before May 11, 2014?
