Last summer, deputies raided the St. Gabriel Police Department and Chief Kevin Ambeau's home. They seized computers, laptops and phones.

At the time, investigators said the raid was connected to missing money from a double murder case. Turns out, the money was found after searching an area of the St. Gabriel Police Department's evidence room that was not combed over.

More recently, new allegations surfaced alleging a kickback scheme with a local business owner and Chief Ambeau.

Months after the raid took place, Ambeau maintained he did nothing wrong.

"I look at it as if they say $3,500 is missing, they have to get to the bottom of it," Ambeau said. "I'll cooperate with them, and I want the public to know I didn't put my hands on anything."

At the time, Ambeau said he welcomed any investigation.

"I wouldn't jeopardize my retirement and entire career for $3,500," Ambeau said. "I give that away here just helping people."

Attempts to reach Ambeau, the Mayor of St. Gabriel and the business owner implicated in the case were not successful Thursday evening.

BATON ROUGE - Disgraced East Baton Rouge school employee Justin Broussard was taken into custody by East Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's deputies after turning himself in Tuesday following accusations that he was involved in inappropriate conduct with a student.

The WBRZ Investigative Unit was first to break the news of Broussard's arrest warrant over the weekend. Broussard was arrested on counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile, computer-aided solicitation and obstruction of justice.

Two months ago, WBRZ was first to interview two different mothers who both alleged that Broussard groomed their sons. One pulled her child out of the school where he worked. The second wound up talking to Broussard himself and telling him to stay away from her son.

"I talked to Justin Broussard himself in 2022," one mom said. "I let him know I don't like what's going on between you and my son. He said he would leave my son alone, and he didn't."

Warrants show Broussard took the juvenile to get a tattoo without his mother's permission. He also demanded sexually explicit photos and videos from the teen, who complied according to detectives.

When the heat was turned up on Broussard, he wound up telling the juvenile to provide a false statement so he could stay out of trouble.

"Nobody believed my son," another mom said. "To be honest, they protected the adult more than they protected the child."

Samuel Galbraith is a convicted rapist and murderer who detectives and a district attorney believe is the prime suspect in other murders.

In November 2016, the Parole Board approved his release, but after the WBRZ Investigative Unit exposed what was about to happen, Governor Edwards blocked the decision amid public outcry. The parole was rescinded because notification to the victim's family was not made properly.

Galbraith, a soldier at Fort Polk, killed Karen Hill in 1988. He was on the run for almost 10 years after her murder, until he was caught. The brutal nature of the crime brings seasoned detectives to tears.

Jesse McWilliams had no justice for almost a decade as her daughter's killer roamed free. Until Samuel Galbraith bragged to the wrong person who went to authorities. At the time Hill was murdered, retired District Attorney Asa Skinner was a young prosecutor.

"He told his friend that he had dreamed and had visions of going to a convenience store, getting a woman, kidnapping them, raping them and killing them to see what it felt like," Skinner said.

Before a trial was held, Galbraith pleaded guilty to raping Hill after DNA evidence linked him to the crime. He also pleaded guilty to her murder. Galbraith was sentenced to 71 years and told he needed to serve 85 percent of it.

With less than 1/3 of that sentence served, he could be a free man again.

The Director of Probation and Parole said they are exploring all legal options right now. In 2017, Galbraith was scheduled to be released to Texas. Any housing plan now would need approval from their department of corrections.

Delaune Estates is nearing the construction phase. The roads are all paved, and it appears workers could start building homes any day now. Plans show the subdivision that sits between Airline Highway and I-10 will feature more than 200 homes starting from around $320,000 and going up to $500,000.

Denise Mabile has lived in the Longwood subdivision for 14 years. It's adjacent to the new subdivision, and her house backs up to it. She said that she's concerned about the implications of having a large subdivision with roads that can barely handle the traffic volume now.

"I don't commute, but my husband and daughters do, and they leave an hour before school to skip traffic," Mabile said. "Otherwise you're sitting on Highway 73 for a long time."

Drainage is also an issue. Her backyard now has a three foot tall embankment where the new houses will be built. She said flooding is her biggest concern.

Aggie Canales is a Realtor. She said concerns are always valid when it comes to drainage. A home she has listed just went under contract that backs up to the new subdivision, but her buyers were not worried about it.

"You have to look into it and see what kind of drainage what they've put in and accounted for and plan accordingly," Canales said.

She said the explosion of growth and the push for new families to continue coming to Ascension shows the draw the area pulls.

"I chose to live in Ascension Parish," Canales said. "Great people, a lot of opportunity, the school system is fantastic. There are a lot of established subdivisions that are wonderful places to move and inventory is still on the low side in the market."

For Mabile, it goes beyond just building.

"We don't have forward thinking," Mabile said. "We aren't building infrastructure and thinking through it. From a traffic study, they did it during Covid when there weren't as many cars on the road and there was a mix of children in and out."
