A suspect has been indicted in the killing of a Houma man 22 years ago.
A Terrebonne Parish grand jury found enough evidence last week to charge Stanley Briggs Jr., 47, with second-degree murder, prosecutors said.
He is accused of killing Shannon Harris, who disappeared Oct. 10, 1998, after stopping by his mother’s house in Houma earlier in the day. Police said he was last seen on his way to board a Greyhound bus.
Forensics teams, cadaver dogs and thermal-imaging equipment were used to search for Harris during the following weeks, but he was never found.
A possible break in the case occurred in September after police responded to a medical emergency call on Stovall Street, Houma Police Chief Dana Coleman said.
