BOSSIER PARISH, La. (WOOD) -- A woman who was 13 when she found Carol Ann Cole's body in some Louisiana woods more than 34 years ago told Target 8 she is certain her father had picked up the Kalamazoo teen hitchhiking about a month earlier.
Frances Aucoin is now 48 and lives in southern Louisiana. She said she believes her father John Chesson, already identified as a person of interest by investigators, killed the 17-year-old found dead in 1981.
Police say Cole was stabbed at least nine times. She had been dead for four to six weeks before her body was found. Until recently, she was known only as Bossier Doe.
Chesson is already serving life in prison for killing an elderly woman in 1997 -- nearly 20 years after Cole's death. That woman was also stabbed repeatedly.
"It needs to be known that he's done this, and he needs to be accountable for what he has done," Aucoin said of the Cole case. "You just can't keep doing this to people."
Bossier Parish detectives said Thursday that they interviewed Aucoin after Cole was identified as the victim last month, but that she didn't reveal these details at the time. After Target 8 contacted detectives, they reached Aucoin and she told them the same story.
They said the details she revealed could be enough to send the case to a grand jury for a murder charge against Chesson. They were planning to meet with the district attorney.

Thoughts? The reason I'm placing this case in the Unsolved on TV section is that it was profiled on the syndicated crime show "Crime Watch Daily." I assume you can submit a tip to their website if you have information although here it seems to be just a matter of gathering enough info to make a case against Chesson.
