Two men have been indicted in the death of a Lafayette man whose remains were found earlier this year in Gibson.
A Terrebonne Parish grand jury found evidence to charge Alvin Fitch, 34, of Morgan City, and Christopher Martin, 34, of Berwick, with second-degree murder June 1. An indictment does not presume guilt or innocence but indicates the grand jury found prosecutors presented enough evidence to warrant a trial on the charges.
The two men are accused of killing 36-year-old Jake Menard, of Lafayette. A third suspect identified as Morgan City resident Chance Boudreaux, 26, was charged as an accessory after the fact.
Menard had been reported missing to the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office in November 2019. Morgan City Police later received information that he had been killed in the Gibson area.
