ACADIA PARISH, La. (KLFY)– A Washington man was arrested in connection with the 2003 death of Susan Kennedy Jackson.

In December of 2003, Jackson’s body with blunt force trauma to her head was found in Bayou Wikoff just north of exit 82 near Crowley.

After evidence from the Acadiana Crime Lab was submitted to a national database, law enforcement officials learned of a match to the evidence in the case.

DNA evidence matched with Ferris Bonham, 44 of Marysville, Washington, who was in custody in Michigan on unrelated charges. He has been transferred from Michigan to Acadia Parish Jail; he is charged with second degree murder with a bail set at $1,000,000.
