On August 14, 1977, 33-year-old Bobby Todd was shot and killed in his mobile home near Houma, Louisiana. According to reports, David Dene Martin came to Todd’s residence armed with a .357 magnum after learning Todd was having an affair with Martin’s wife, who worked at the restaurant lounge Todd owned. Martin shot Todd twice in the chest and then fired at three others in the trailer — 27-year-old Terry Hebert, 19-year-old Anne Tierney, and 19-year-old Sandra Brake — killing all four. Investigators say Martin fired 15 shots inside the mobile home.

Martin was arrested, tried, and convicted on four counts of first-degree murder. He received death sentences for the killings; after appeals were exhausted he was executed by electrocution on January 4, 1985. Before his execution he reportedly expressed remorse and said he did not clearly remember the act.

Did anyone who knew Bobby or the others in Houma at that time ever share memories or details that could shed more light on the night of August 14, 1977?
