LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) -For those who remember, it is hard to believe that today is the 30th anniversary of two high profile murders in Southwest Louisiana. Pam and Eric Ellender were shot to death in their home.
The murders of the Ellenders captivated the community over many years as family
members tried to see that all
involved would pay for their crimes.
It was Mardi Gras day, 1991, when the bodies of the Ellenders were found in their home off Highway 90. The couple’s 18 month old daughter was left alone in the house with her murdered parents.
