Luther Meshell (9 of Hearts, Louisiana)

Our card this week is Luther Meshell, the 9 of Hearts from Louisiana.

On a mild spring night in 1991, Luther’s teenage son found him lying dead on his bedroom floor next to his overturned wheelchair and a knife. With a locked door and no signs of forced entry, police believe his killer could have been someone he knew and trusted… but when they zoom out, investigators notice a series of other crimes with eerie similarities… and they begin to consider whether a serial killer could be to blame.

• Anyone with information on who is responsible for the death of Luther Meshell is urged to contact the Shreveport Police Department by calling 318-673-7300 and asking for someone in investigations or by emailing the Assistant Chief of Police in the Investigations Division at Steve.Pfender@shreveportla.gov.
