Episode 1: Piety and Desire

The death of Eddie Wells in 1982 would seem like a straightforward case. His body was found floating in the Mississippi River in New Orleans’ Upper 9th Ward. The coroner determined he likely drowned, but a police detective believed the 17-year old boy was murdered. The New Orleans Police Department is  now re-examining Eddie’s death, and so are we. The mystery begins between Piety and Desire streets.
