about

A forensic mystery solved in a 6 minute song. Based in part on the Baton Rouge Serial Killer - who dumped his victims' bodies in Whiskey Bay and in part on another case of a "dirty cop" who pulled female victims off the highway to assault and kill them.

lyrics

Now, somewhere… down in the deepest part of Southern Louisiana - there’s a place where a gal lost her way – one day – on the highway. And, we’d like to dedicate this song – to her memory – and to the family that was lookin’ for closure – and, the brave men and women of law enforcement who helped them to get it.

They found her out on Whiskey Bay
Her throat was slashed and she was battered
White pickup truck just drove away
Tire tracks deep in the mud

Looking down on the shore
From the highway up above her
She was down there by the boat ramp
Past the closed-off exit sign

Ended up on
Whiskey Bay
On a dark and rainy day
Happened down on
Whiskey Bay
Take that body away

Strands of gold were in her hand
That she held in desperation
And a locket by her side
Was the one she always wore

They had closed the exit off
But sometimes people still went down there
And run off of the highway
She descended one last time

Ended up on
Whiskey Bay
On a dark and rainy day
Happened down on
Whiskey Bay
Take that body away

Now somewhere in the next life
She’s found an inner peace
And closure to the family
And some sort of release

They finally got the guy who fled
The golden strands were from an arm patch
That was issued to policemen
On a special uniform

She had thought he’d pulled her over
For a speeding violation
But it turned out he was looking
For a different kind of thing

She had fought off the attack
With all the strength that she could gather
But, in the end, he overcame her
And it was quiet once again

Ended up on
Whiskey Bay
On a dark and rainy day
Happened down on
Whiskey Bay
Take that body away

Ended up on
Whiskey Bay
On a dark and rainy day
Happened down on
Whiskey Bay
Take that body away

Thunder Dollar Bill image

Thunder Dollar Bill New York, New York

And, so, up from the rubble came Thunder “Dollar” Bill: battle-weary, time-tested. An unlikely character who would probably rather, “...stay focused on the mission than get involved with all this.” But, still, with strong resolve, willing to do his part for conscience, country and the greater good.

Thunder “Dollar” Bill.

Not just a mission: it’s a way of life.

Live it. ... more
