Hell and Gone Murder Line: Brandy Dyson Part 1

On November 5, 2005 a jogger was out running beside a lake in Lake Charles, Louisiana, behind the Civic Center, when he saw something floating in the water. When he took a closer look, he realized it was the body of a woman.   Police identified the body as 32-year-old Brandy Renee Dyson, a mother of three who had recently been made homeless after Hurricane Katrina and then Hurricane Rita, which devastated the state.  It’s been almost 20 years, there’s been one arrest and  a lot of controversy, but her case is still unsolved. There's a lot we don't know about Brandy's murder, but we do know that it was violent.  Her father Adley Dyson told a local news station,  "We had to bury her in a turtleneck sweater because she was strangled and she was thrown in the lake."
