Its not a matter of offering the death penalty, its a matter of whether you can get a judge to hand down that sentence in this area which is a pretty conservative area by nature. The last death penalty was handed down 27 years ago here and this area is far more conservative than others around the state in that regard. A change of venue may not be a terrrible thing if going for the death penalty

The FACES lab specializes in skeletal identification, 3-D Modeling, and also search and recovery. During the lab tests, the lab will be able to figure out almost everything that happened to the body.
"We have a body. We're working with law enforcement trying to confirm the identification," Director of LSU FACES Mary Manhein said.
The body will be returned to Lafayette in the next two weeks and full test results will be available in the next three or four. The identity of the body will be known much sooner.
