On November 7, 2016, in Old Jefferson, Dwayne Allen Hanson, his wife Samantha, and their 20-year-old pregnant daughter Sydney were murdered in their home during what had been a week of anniversary and birthday celebrations. Dwayne and Samantha Hanson were shot; Sydney Hanson was stabbed. A fire at the residence led emergency crews to the scene, which the parish sheriff described as horrific. A temporary restraining order Sydney had sought was found near her body.

Investigators quickly focused on Sydney’s ex-boyfriend, Jatory Evans. After a daylong manhunt he was located and arrested in New Orleans with scratches and cuts consistent with a struggle. He was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree feticide for the unborn child.

The Hansons were remembered by friends as active in the local cycling community and a close family. What additional information can anyone who knew the family or who has information about the case share?
