Doubts in Jennings about Investigation
Whitnei’s sister Brittney Jones wonders “why haven’t we been questioned? Why haven’t we been asked when was the last time we saw our sister? Where her whereabouts was? Why haven’t we been asked about the evidence? Why haven’t we been contacted?”5
Lolita Doucet, her aunt, believes Whitnei and the other victims were dismissed as women who lived high-risk life styles involving drugs and prostitution.5
Family’s Plea
“If someone knows something, please do some soul-searching,” Brittney said. “Look into the eyes of these girls and the eyes of their children. See the pain that this has caused.” “Please…see them as people – as individuals – and not as drug addicts and prostitutes. Whitnei had a family who loved her. She has a daughter who will live the rest of her life without her mother. We are all hurting without her.” ~ Brittney Jones, sister1
