Murder of Vicki Toups

On October 11, 2003, around 2 a.m. Vicki Toups was seen walking down the U.S. 90 in Boutte, Louisiana. She was seen wearing denim shorts and a white t-shirt. Around 7:45 a.m. she was found naked in a ditch on LA 635 in Des Allemands it's unknown what had happened between the hours she was last seen and when she was killed. She was not sexually assaulted but was brutally beaten to death. 

Vicki was known to hitchhike and was known by police due to her drug problems. She wasn't someone with a lot of money, so they don't believe that whoever killed her did it to rob her.
