THE BALLAD OF CHANNING BRADFORD TRAHAN [ALLEGED MURDERER EXTRAORDINAIRE]

When Channing was a child, he would pride himself on being a satanist and brag to family members that he had chosen this path of life at such a young age. He would also utter to his family members about how he had killed a grown adult when he was just a child at the mere age of 8 years old, and fancied himself beating up other grown men whom he did not like the comments of that were made to belittle his young inflated ego. Channing committing murders at this impressionable age was brushed off as hear-say, until Channing found himself acting out some of his foretold odd–behavior in front of others.

Upon one occasion in the early 2000s, Channing mercilessly attacked someone during a late evening that was driving a pickup truck in a road rage incident that started when the truck exited a parking lot, and Channing started raging at the driver for no apparent reason, then encouraged others to get out of the car and help him attack the innocent man that didn’t deserve, nor understood, what was even happening to him. When Channing and the driver exited their vehicles in the parking lot at 1320 Elton Rd in Jennings, Channing unleashed a barrage of wildly swung attacks on the unsuspecting driver. After the scuffle, both drivers got back into their vehicles and quickly drove away.

Another incident had him asking a family member that he considered to be close to him if they ever wanted to be a contract killer, but reluctantly reneged to carry through with the initiation of his intentions when questioned about the attempt at recruitment to become a fellow serial killer.

Then, there was the incident where Channing openly admitted to committing incest with family, and at times, would be openly gay with other men, even though he would vehemently deny it to your face. Channing would later claim that anything said of him being gay would only help him with sexual advances that he desired to make towards a woman who had heard the utterances of his homosexuality that he would later label as just rumors.

A long stint of time served for crimes he committed that do not involve murder looms over the self-proclaimed satanist’s head, yet, no charges for murder have ever been convicted, even though they had been raised against him. Channing skating murder charges is allegedly due to his ties with a law enforcement officer that has consistently been one of the main suspects at the center of the still unsolved Jennings 8 Murders investigation, Terrie Guillory.

Terrie Guillory has also been the center of other investigations, but not outrightly named, even though it’s pretty clear as to his association with the events that unfolded in the Parish of Jefferson Davis, and also the debauchery Terrie Guillory was alleged by the public of committing within the Jefferson Davis Parish’s jail. Terrie Guillory’s closeness to the victims of the unsolved mystery of the Jeff Davis 8 has left many puzzled, outraged, and seeking the justice and answers, that their families clearly deserve, for many years now.

Channing’s reputation in his home town of Jennings, Louisiana, would crumble on the daily the more that people would hear about, and some would ultimately witness, his shenanigans that would often involve self-serving theft and murder. Most of his murders would stem from news that someone was about to receive a settlement payout, which occur plenty in the area that he lives in, mostly due to offshore rig workers who were somehow hurt on the job and currently engaged in a lawsuit at the time.

Equipped with drug–fueled grandeur illusions of self-worth, Channing would often keep a tight-knit community loosely revolved around him to serve out his diabolical plans, and also just to serve his ego. The company that Channing would keep, that others referred to as a satanic cult, would be deeply involved in his operations of murder and theft. The group would patiently wait for the settlement to strike, and while they would wait, they would keep their target for murder close to them, so that there would be no question about the when and where of the settlement to be received, and how they would access it before/after committing murder. During this transition of events, there would be plenty of drugs being passed around, and plenty of brainwashing of the victim.

It seemed that Channing was no stranger to murdering someone if that’s what he wanted to do, and he is also no stranger to admitting that that’s what he does, and is tempted to do any time that he is off his meds, which he calls his “okie doke medicine.” When he is off his meds, he has wild mood swings that range anywhere from nervous, anxious, anticipant, impulsive, obsessive, angry, rage, abusive, and still shows these signs even though he is on meds.

Lisa (Briscoe),Mother of alleged murderer extraordinaire, Channing Bradford Trahan, has been immensely woven into the fabric of Channing’s secret life that he’s gone to extreme lengths to keep hidden from the public for decades. She’s been known to curse through text messages to express her disdain for anyone who stands in the way of Channing and his twisted way of life. In their hometown of Jennings, Louisiana, people have often confused the brothers, Channing and Chance, mistaking one for the other, especially due to Channing admitting to stealing Chance’s identity, and Government Issued Identification Cards, and using them to assume Chance’s good record and identity in order to not be picked up on any outstanding warrants or charges that may be looming from his dark and mysterious past.

Channing has even gone out of his way to lie to his brother, Chance, by committing Stolen Valor, claiming to have served 2 tours in the American Military, while he was in the process of stealing Chance’s wallet that contained his Personal Identification, and then was later caught trying to have Chance Bradford Trahan’s backup identification stolen from him as well. The incident was later reported to both to the Lake Charles Police, and the Jeff Davis Parish Police, which has actively gone nowhere, for years.

“Channing has always had problems controlling himself, and to learn that he is what he is, it’s no surprise based on his rocky past,” says Channing’s older brother, Chance Trahan.

Channing Bradford Trahan’s (Alias: Lucky Luciano) last known residency was located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where more murders happened, foul play was suspected, but in the media, Law Enforcement reassured the public and insisted that there were no dangers after–the–fact, yet, the person(s) who would be (an) immediate suspect(s) still roamed free. (Make that make sense.)
