Very weird all around. Several people say they partied in the house after the murder took place that night. Of course you know the story goes that the sheriffs son was involved which is why the guy that confessed to it committed "suicide" in jail

ETA: But it is considered solved

Solved. On February 9, 1995, Robert Adkins was indicted for the murders. Phillip LeDeoux and Kurt Reese were charged as accessories after the fact. They were the ones originally arrested along with Chris Prudhomme in 1991. Five years later, Robert entered a plea of two counts of manslaughter. The District Court Judge sentenced him to two 20-year sentences to run concurrently with credit for four years served for helping steal Eric's car. However, the judge suspended the 16-year sentence and placed him on five years probation. He soon violated probation on several occasions times and received minor punishment for the probation violation.
Phillip LeDeoux was found guilty of being an accessory after the fact and was sentenced to four years in prison. Kurt Reese pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and was sentenced to two years in prison. Authorities no longer believe that anyone else was involved in the murders and the case is now considered closed.
