On July 6, 1997 in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, Marty LeBouef, Stacie Reeves and Nicole Guidry were all shot execution style in the head. Their bodies were left in the cooler at KK’s Corner. Thedr murders were shocking. And soon, people were talking about another death. One that some people in the community thought could be linked to KK’s Corner’s massacre.
On Saturday, May 17, 1997, not even three weeks before the triple homicide at KK’s Corner, Kevin Abel was fatally shot in the head at home.
Police ruled Kevin’s death a suicide, but Stacie Reeves, who had been dating Kevin, believed that he had been murdered and that his murder could be tied to law enforcement, and possibly to alleged drug deals at KK’s Corner.
Stacie Reeves arrived at that crime scene with her young twin daughters only minutes after police showed up there. She told police that she and Kevin were going on a date that night and that she had been planning to pick him up with her girls. And she said that he owed a LOT of money to drug dealers, who had been taking his truck as collateral.
What really happened to Kevin Abel. Did he kill himself? Who were the drug dealers that he owed money to? And did Kevin’s death have anything to do with the KK’s Corner killings?

School of Humans. Helen Got Murder Line actively investigates cold case murders in an effort to raise public awareness invite witnesses to come forward and present evidence that could potentially be further investigated by law enforcement. While we value insights from family and community members, their statements should not be considered evidence and point to the challenges of verifying facts inherent in cold cases. We remind listeners that everyone has presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Nothing in the podcast is intended to state or imply that anyone who has not been convicted of a crime is guilty of any wrongdoing. Thanks for listening.
On July sixth, nineteen ninety seven, in Calcashu Parish, Louisiana, Marty Lebeuf, Stacy Reeves, and Nicole Guildry were all shot execution style in the head. Their bodies were left in the cooler at kk's Corner. These at kk's Corner were shocking, and soon people were talking about another death, one that some people in the community thought could be linked.
To the kk's Corner massacre.
On Saturday May seventeenth, nineteen ninety seven, not even three weeks before the triple homicide at kk's corner. Kevin Abel was fatally shot in the head at his home. Police ruled Kevin's death a suicide, but Stacy Reeves, who had been dating Kevin, believed that he had been murdered and that his murder could be tied to law enforcement and possibly to allege drug deals at Kk's corner. Stacy Reeves arrived at that crime scene at Kevin's with her young twin daughters only minutes after.
Police showed up there.
Stacey told police she and Kevin were going on a date that night and that she had been planning to pick him up with her girls. And she said that Kevin owed a lot of money to drug dealers, who she said had been taking his truck as collateral. We talked to one of Stacy's friends, the former sheriff's deputy. We have her full name, but because of concerns about her safety, she has asked that we call her by her nickname Missy.
She was coming to kick him up with her twins, who are I think two at the time, they were really young. For she insisted that she would never have permitted suicide, knowing that she had the Beady.
Who's with him. What really happened to Kevin Abel? Did he kill himself or could there have been foul play involved? Who were the drug dealers who he owed money to? And did Kevin's death have anything to do with the kk's Corner killings. I'm Catherine Townsend. Over the past five years of making my true crime podcast, Helen Gone, I've learned that there's no such thing as a small town where murder never happens. I've received hundreds of messages from people all around the country asking for help with an unsolved murder that's affected them, their families, and their communities. If you have a case you'd like me and my team to look into, you can reach out to us at our Helen Gone Murder Line at six seven eight seven four four six one four five. That's six seven eight seven four four six one four five, or you can send us a message on Instagram at Helen gonepod. This is Helen Gone Murder Line. We got a copy of the incident report and some civil depositions, and between those and some interviews we've done, we have found out a lot of information about the night that Kevin Abel died. Now, before I go down this road, I just want to say that so far, none of the evidence that we have seen has indicated that Kevin Abel's death was anything other than a suicide. But a lot of people, including Stacy Reeves, believe that it was, and we want.
To understand why.
On the day he died, Kevin had a friend at his house, a guy named Chad Reeves. Now Chad was a distant cousin of Stacy's, but according to what Chad told police, they were not close. Chad wasn't even sure exactly how they were related. When police asked him, Chad said that he had reconnected with Kevin the night before at a bar called Cheers. He had known Kevin when they were younger, but prior to that, he told investigators, they had not spoken in eight years. Lake Charles has a population of almost eighty thousand people, but I see a lot of the same names keep popping up, so parts of it seemed to have a distinctly small town vibe. Chad lived with his mother in Fairview Estates, the same trailer park as Kevin. He told police that he went over to Kevin's trailer that afternoon because Kevin was feeling down. Chad said they were hanging out there watching TV and talking. In a later deposition, Chad said that Kevin looked like shit that day. He also said Kevin had been smoking crack for days, which had turned his lips black. While they were hanging out, Kevin got a phone call from someone. Chad said that quote whoever it was must have had Kevin's car, because Kevin got very mad with them over the phone and asked them when they were going to bring his car back.
End quote.
Then Chad said after Kevin hung up, Kevin had asked him how to spell the word quit. Chad said he spelled it out for him qu i t. After that, he said that a woman called Kevin, and Kevin told the woman that he was depressed and to come pick him up. I don't know for sure, but it seems likely that that woman was Stacy Reeves, since Stacy did show up there and she said that they were planning on having a date that night. After that, Kevin went to the back of the trailer toward his bedroom.
Time went by, the movie.
Ended, and Chad said that he yelled to Kevin that he was going back to his mother's trailer to get something to eat. Chad was in the front doorway, putting his shoes on, getting ready to leave. When he heard the gunshot, Chad ran into the bedroom. He said that he saw Kevin lying there and grabbed him to try to check on him, but he said he could see that he was in a pool of blood and that he was clearly dead. Chad said he ran back to his mother's house and called nine one one. Police came to the scene, and they found Kevin in his bedroom with his head facing north and a fatal gunshot wound to his head. There was a three fifty seven magnum revolver lying about twelve inches from Kevin's left foot. There was a bullet hole in the wall and a TV on top of Kevin's chest. Police believed that Kevin fired the fatal shot and then he fell back onto the TV stand. That's when they say he crashed to the ground and the television kind of toppled on top of him. Police found cocaine residue in a chrome pipe and gunpowder residue on Kevin's hands that police said indicated that the gun had been fired by him recently. They also found a suicide note nearby. We got a copy of that note. It read in part quote, this is something I did because I couldn't face the real world being a crackhead.
End quote.
In the note, Kevin apologized to people in his life for not being able to get off drugs. He mentioned former girlfriends and friends and people he felt that he had let down. At the end, it says, PS, if I have a funeral, play the dance he was talking about, the Garth Brooks country song. Police found that Kevin had a heavy crack addiction and then he owed money to two people, Irving and David Freeman. They're actually cousins, but people around town refer to them as the Freeman brothers. Irving told police that he sold crack to Kevin on a regular basis. He said that he would take Kevin's truck as collateral to make sure that Kevin paid back the money that he owed. Irving told police that Kevin was pretty much his best customer. He said that Kevin would chain smoke rocks of crack like other people smoked cigarettes. He said that Kevin regularly owed him large amounts of money, from around fifteen to seventeen hundred dollars at a time while Irving had the truck. David Irving's cousin told police that he would sometimes borrow the truck as well. He would just borrow it from Irving without getting Kevin's permission. Sometimes Stacy Reeves would pay Kevin's drug debts. Once she paid David five hundred dollars. Later, David told police about a strange incident that happened with Kevin's truck. He said that a police officer showed up at his house once while he was borrowing Kevin's truck, and that the police officer demanded that he give it back. Police talked to this officer, the one who showed up at David's house. It was a Lake Charles police officer. So this officer said he was friends with Jennifer Doyle, a woman who was also dating Kevin at the time. The officer said sometime in the beginning of April in nineteen ninety seven, he went to Jennifer Doyle's house and that Jennifer got a phone call from David. David was asking Jennifer for money.
Money.
He said that Kevin owed him, so the officer got Jennifer to hand him the phone. When he identified himself to David as a police officer, David hung up. The officer said that when he was at work the next day that Jennifer called him and asked if he would go with her to help get Kevin's truck back. So the officer said he went with Jennifer to David's place and knocked on David's door. A woman answered the door and said David wasn't there, So the officer said they were there to get Kevin's truck. The woman said the keys were in it, so the officer said he got into Jennifer's vehicle and drove it back to the police station while Jennifer drove Kevin's truck. The officer said Jennifer drove away in Kevin's truck and that he wasn't sure what happened to the vehicle after that. To me, this illustrates a couple of things about how things work in Lake Charles. The fact that a lot of these drug dealers, police and people connected to drug addicts were all intimately connected number one, and number two, that sometimes police would do things to settle disputes that weren't necessarily officially reported. Because to my knowledge, there was never a stolen vehicle report made on this truck. This all apparently happened off the books, and the officer didn't tell anyone about this truck incident until much.
Later after Kevin Abel's death.
But as we said last week, Stacey believed that Kevin had been murdered. Stacy Reeves was convinced that Kevin Abel had not committed suicide. Her friend Missy, talked to us about what Stacy told her about Kevin's death. Missy said that Stacy didn't think the suicide note was legitimate.
Stacey contacted me when Kevin quote unquote committed suicide. She told me he didn't commit suicide. It was all a lie because he hated country music and in the suicide note it was referenced to country music. I think one of Gurth books was songs. And also the note was written in the opposite hand that she did not write it, so she was emotionally just strawed or not.
In the weeks before her death, Stacy was talking to people about how she didn't think Kevin committed suicide, and also about drug deals that she said were going down in Kk's corner. She said that Kevin owed people drug money, a lot of money. Stacy seemed to believe that Kevin's death might have been murdered and that it might have something to do with drug dealers who were operating inside kk's corner, and Stacy had been talking to law enforcement about her suspicions. According to police documents, Stacy's friend, Sheila, told police that Stacy had recently met with two officers and talked to him about her fear that her involvement in Kevin's drug dealing could put her in danger. She was talking to them about drug deals going on inside kk's corner. She told them she wanted to work for the Sheriff's department. One was an officer named Jerome Lestraps. The other was an Officer Sweeney, but police said they were unable to locate anyone with that name, so we've started looking for officer Sweeney. After the kk's murders, Detective Deluge was looking into these rumors that Stacy could have been talking to people in law enforcement. Detective Deluge knew that Jerome less Straps worked narcotics for the calcashu Perras Sheriff's Department, so he contacted the chief of detectives there, John Fryar. He asked if Stacy was a confidential informant for anyone. John said, to his knowledge, Stacy never provided intel to any of his officers. But later, according to court documents, Jeromeless Straps said that he had talked to Stacy about working undercover with the Sheriff's office. He said when she told him about people dealing drugs and her suspicion that his death was not a homicide, jerome Le Strap said he advised Stacy that because she had two young daughters, this type of work might be dangerous for her. He said that he told her if she had information about Kevin's death, that she should get in touch with a detective in charge of that investigation. We found out something else, potentially more evidence that the men who came to the store that night, the ones who Virginia saw in the black car, may have been targeting Stacy, because there are things about Stacy's murder that were different from Marty and Nicole. Now, these differences might not mean anything. On the other hand, they could be important clues. Marty and Nicole were both shot in the back of the head. Stacy was shot in the face. She was also shot once in the back of the head, but that was only after her head was turned around from the first shot, so Stacy was the only one who faced her killer. We also learned more details about Virginia Johnson, the witness. She testified that the men she saw that night at Kk's were there for Stacy. Remember, Virginia went to care Corner on July fifth. She arrived there at about eleven forty five pm to get gas. She went in and bought ten dollars worth of gas from Marty. At that time, she said, Stacy was mopping up and closing the store. Nicole was sitting on the counter. While Virginia was in the store. A black car pulled up to the side entrance. One man came into the store. He walked straight back toward the beer coolers. The other one bumped into Virginia as she was walking out to her car. That's the guy who she described for the first composite drawing, and later under hypnosis she remembered more details about the second man. She later identified Tomas Cisco in a lineup. So we know all that, But we got a transcript of the testimony that Virginia gave at Tomasisko's murder trial. She testified that as she was walking out of Kk's, she heard Marty and Nicole talking about the guys that came in. She said she heard Marty say, well, they're here for her, meaning that the two two men were there for Stacy. This would presumably mean that the two men were people who the employees knew and felt comfortable enough letting into the store after closing. So why were these two men there for Stacy? These murders happened within a small window of time. Marty Lebuff drove a green and tan nineteen eighty seven Ford Bronco. Stacy drove a brown nineteen eighty six Buick Skylark. Both of those vehicles were parked at kk's corner all night. Virginia said the car she saw pull up to Kk's while she was paying for gas was a sporty, black two door late eighties vehicle similar to a Chevrolet Spectrum. She said the truck that she saw was a red mid sized pickup truck. After leaving kk's corner, Virginia picked her boyfriend up at work. They both told investigators they drove back past kk's corner. The boyfriend remembers they were having a conversation about kk's. He said he glanced down at the clock in his truck. It said twelve forty two, but it was ten minutes fast, so it was actually twelve thirty two at that time. At twelve thirty two am, they saw that black car still there and a red truck with a passenger door open. The store was closed, but the lights inside the store were still on, which Virginia told police she believed was odd. She made a comment to her boyfriend that maybe someone could be robbing the store, but her boyfriend said, all right, girl whatever. From what she told police, it sounded like he wasn't taking her too seriously, and so they went home. Someone else saw the truck too, because a few minutes before that, another woman who later talked to police, said she drove through the kk's parking lot at around twelve fifteen am. She also noticed the red truck and the black car in the parking lot.
There were a lot.
Of people going into and out of this parking lot that night. This was a busy store in a busy area. Deputy Terry Gillery, who found the bodies in the cooler the next morning, was also on duty the night of July fifth.
He said that he had driven through the parking lot.
At around eleven PM, he said he saw Stacy behind the counter and waved at her. Later, at around one thirty am, the man who folded the morning papers was in the parking lot. By that time, the black car and the truck were gone. At two am, Terry Gillery passed by again he saw the guy who folded the morning papers in the parking lot. He noticed that Stacy and Marty's vehicles were still parked there. So whatever happened at Kk's Corner, it started after Virginia left the store and after Marty's dad called at midnight to tell him he had to plate a barbecue left out for him. Whatever happened happened fast, because at twelve oh six am, Sherwood, carpenter at the assistant manager, called the store.
He said the phone kept ringing.
Sherwood says that when no one answered, he figured the employees had already gone home. Stacey, Marty and Nicole were almost certainly dead in the cooler by then.
So what happened during that crucial few minutes.
We talked to Kenny Klin, the owner of Kk's Corner, who the initials are named for.
He said, you know, I don't want you to touch anything.
I just want you to tell me what you see.
So then when I walked in the store, eventually, when I got to the back room where I saw that Stacey and Marty did their shift report, which is the paperwork that you do when the shift is over. As soon as I saw that they had done their shift report, I told Lucky Lush I said the store was closed. And he looked at me and he said, what do you mean. I said, because Stacey and Marty sometimes they might cheat a little bit. They were experienced a poison. They knew I would allow it. They may have, you know, let you say the store, the store closed at midnight. You know, maybe they might do their paperwork at ten minutes to midnight, maybe five minutes, just assuming not another customer will come in. And if another customer would come in and spend maybe three or four dollars, said they would just let the next based cash. You're ringing that up, just as they could get out of there in a timely manner. So, had they done exactly what they're supposed to do, which is closed at midnight, do their paperwork, you don't do the paperwork to You're almost certain that the stores closed. So when I saw that, I said, well, you know they had to let somebody in.
One of the registers, register too, was closed out at eleven PM. The other register, register one was closed out at midnight after closing the store, and the Z tape was still attached to the register. So that was strange, Kenny said, because what was supposed to happen was that the employees would detach the Z tape from the register and then they would go into the office to finish completing their report.
They would check to.
See whether they came up short, whether everything was reconciled, whether the math worked, how.
Much money was made, et cetera.
Then the employee would finish up in the office, bring the clipboard back out, and put the Z tape under the clipboard. So is it was my understanding from reading that that what happened was the employee would they'd cash out the register and excuse me if I don't get the terminology right, But then the receipt would print out and they were supposed to take it to the back office, run the numbers, and then come back and put this put it back on a clipboard.
Is that right? Oh, they would do that in the back room.
That's what I'm saying. When I went to the back.
A Z tape just closed out the day.
God, we ran two we ran two ships, the day ship, and then at night when we closed, they would run a Z tape which clears.
Everything out for that day. I see.
And then what they would do is they would take that tape and let's just for an even amount of money. Let's just say they did a thousand dollars in sales. Then they would take everything out of their drawer and let's just say they start to shift for two hundred dollars, they would they would put the two hundred dollars back in the drawer, and then they should have one thousand dollars. It should balance and they would count one thousand dollars. They would put that in an envelope, put it down the safe. There were two slots in the safe. They would put that down the safe. Then they would take their Z tape. Then they would and there was a clipboard in the back, and they would write down there. I guess, for lack of a better word, to shift reconciliation.
Kenny said, it appears as though Stacy was interrupted in the middle of this process. This made him believe the store had been closed, Stacey closed out the register, and then, for whatever reason, maybe because Stacey and Marty were comfortable with the people who came in after closing, they let them stay. It seems as though they were completing their routine task right before they were interrupted. The very last thing that employees were supposed to do after reconciling the registers and cleaning was to punch in their individual four digit code to set the alarm, and then manually locked the doors.
As they leave.
But as we've said before, that alarm was never set. There were a total of four phones in and around the store, Kenny Klein's personal phone in his private office, a store phone at the front desk, and two payphones outside. The lines to the two payphones in Kenny's private phone had all been cut, leaving only the counterphone untouched. So one natural question to ask, and one that it seems the police did ask, is if anyone had quit the store recently or had an issue with anyone at the store. There was someone who had quit a few weeks before the murders, Nathaniel Gobert, who stole money on credit cards. Nathaniel had called Stacy and asked her if he could come back in. She said that if he did come back in, they would have to call the sheriff's department. But police talked to Nathaniel and he had an alibi, And it turns out that someone else did quit very suddenly the day before the murders, Miles Addison. Now we had heard this name before. We had heard that Miles Addison called in sick and that that's why Marty was working that night.
But it turns out Miles didn't just call in sick. He quit.
Kenny Klein told law enforcement Miles had been working at kk's corner for between four and six weeks when he quit. Miles later told police that he called at two thirty pm on July fourth, thirty minutes before his shift started. He told an employee that he was tired of working till midnight and that if he kept having to work till midnight that he would quit. He said it was the fourth of July weekend and then he wanted to go out and party.
Miles normally worked three pm to midnight.
He was scheduled to work on Saturday, but after he quit, Marty took his shift at twelve oh six am on July sixth, Sherwood Carpenter, the manager of Kk's, called the store because the alarm had not been set. No one answered, so the killers probably came into Kk's corner right before midnight and a few minutes later everyone was dead. They cut the phone lines, kicked down the door to the office, and robbed the money out.
Of the safe.
They pulled the VHS tape out of the VCR that was recording the security camera footage, and they left. The store's owner, Kenny Klin, confirmed that the tapes in the store were labeled one through thirty one, one for each day of the month, and all of the other tapes were still on the shelf. Only the surveillance video from that night, tape number five, July fifth, was taken. And even though Deputy Deluge said that there was no physical evidence in this case, it turned out there were some things left behind. Police found eight nine millimeters shell casings and six bullets. They also found hairs on the bodies. These hares were tested and they did not match Tomas Cisco's hair, but according to court documents, police did not test any other suspects. The defense attorneys specifically asked about Miles Adison, Richard mclvin, and another man. Police admitted they didn't test any of these people. Police looked through the surveillance tapes they were trying to see if they could see anything suspicious. They only had thirty days worth of tapes. After thirty days they were recorded over and when they looked through the tapes, they found that even though it was store policy for the doors to be locked at twelve am, in practice that did not always happen. They hit another roadblock though, when they tried to figure out as someone had been casing the store of the day before, because the tape for July fourth was there, but it turned out it hadn't been updated. Another employee said on the day before the murders, because Miles Addison had quit so suddenly and she was scrambling to find a replacement for him, she forgot to put in the surveillance tape that day.
But what about the other physical evidence?
Police found a cigarette inside the cooler near Nicole's body. It was partially burned down, like it had been partially smoked. So what happened to that evidence? We still don't know what happened to some of the evidence that was found at the scene. We are still pouring through civil lawsuits and other Foyer request to try and figure out what happened to it. A lawsuit filed by Stacy Reeves's family alleged that Stacy's life life was in danger, that Stacy believed the death of Kevin Abel, who was described as her boyfriend, had been falsely ruled a suicide, and that Stacy had reported certain individuals who were involved with drug trafficking to the police. That because of that situation, her life was in danger, and that the police failed to protect her, and Stacy believed that Sheriff Wayne Mcalvin's son, Richard was involved. Remember Sheriff Wayne Mcalvin held a press conference and said he would hunt down anyone who spread untrue rumors about his son, Richard Mcalvin, who once again has been cleared by law enforcement. At that same press conference, Richard Mcalvin said he didn't know any of the victims, but Stacy's friend, Missy, said that Richard and Stacy definitely knew each other.
This was years before all this drama happened, and she introduced me to Richard Mcalvin and Kevin Abel and they left, and she said you know who that was? And I said no. She goes, that was your boss's son, and I told I made a joke. I said, safety, I got a tone of bosses. What's the boss you're talking about. She said, oh, the main boss, Cheff mcklvin's son. And I said, oh, okay, And I kind of brushed it off because it didn't matter to me.
You know, a lot of the reporting on kk's Corner has been focused on two people, Richard mcelvin and Thomas Cisco. But what if neither of them were involved? Was there anyone else who police were looking at early the investigation, anyone else who would have had a reason to hurt Stacy or to rob kk's Corner. There was someone else who police believed could have been the second gunman, A man named Chris, who had lived with Thomas Cisco at one point, was an early suspect.
The former district.
Attorney Rick Bryant said that, in his opinion, Chris looked like the composite drawing, but he said that Chris had an alibi. Police questioned the employee who quit kk's Corner, Miles Addison, several times. On July eighth, Miles Addison took a polygraph test and he failed it. Miles gave a videotape statement he completely denied having anything to do with or any knowledge of the killings at kk's corner. They talked to Miles Addison's mother, who told police at first that Miles had come home in the early morning hours of July six, but apparently later said she wasn't sure exactly when he came home that night, or if he came home at all. Later, when police talked to Miles, he told detectives he had talked to his mom about what she said. Apparently she was sleepy when she talked to the officers and she was wrong about him not coming home. Miles said that on Saturday, July fifth, he got up at around two pm. He went to visit some downstairs neighbors. They watched TV and smoke some pot. That went on until about nine pm.
He said.
Three friends of his showed up and they went riding around for a little while. Then they dropped him back at his apartment complex, and a few minutes later a friend of his name Mike, showed up with two women, Nicole and Sarah. He said the four of them went to eat at a place called Checkers. They were riding around smoking pot, stopped by a convenience.
Story to get some cigarettes and candy.
He said that they dropped him off back at his place at around eleven forty five pm.
Detectives spoke to the other three people.
They basically said the same thing that they showed up to pick Miles up, rode around in smoke Pot, made a couple of stops, and dropped him back at his place at around eleven forty five pm. The apartment complex where Miles lived was a little over two miles from kk's corner, according to Google Maps, about a five minute drive. There were also some conflicting stories from other people who police talked to about Miles's activities on July fifth. Shane Robinson said on July fifth, Miles came over and asked to borrow his truck. He said that Miles left at ten thirty pm and that he never saw him again that night. But the way the interviews worded it doesn't actually specify if Miles borrowed the truck and brought it back and then left without it, or if he left with it at ten thirty. It's very confusingly worded. Miles did admit he knew about drug dealing at Kk's Corner. He admitted to investigators during the time he worked there that he stole cigarettes and dealt drugs. He said he dealt LSD, pot and cocaine. He said Marty sometimes sold drugs out of the store as well. Miles also admitted he let his friends come in and steal merchandise from the store. He said he would also sometimes let them buy stuff but undercharge them for it. Miles Addison failed three different light detector tests. The questions that he failed, according to law enforcement documents, were whether he had knowledge of the events at kk's Corner, whether he knew who had committed the murders, and whether he was present at the time of the murders.
Again, he denied.
Yet anything to do with these murders or any knowledge of them, and he was never charged in connection with them. And honestly, I don't even know if police were being straight with him when they told him which questions he failed.
We know they're allowed to lie to people.
We have reached out to Miles Addison, but after some initial questions, he declined to answer any more and appeared to block our number. Next week in our final KKs Corner episode. We're going to take a look at the trial documents, specifically the closing arguments, and get details on which officers Stacy Reeves was meeting with regularly in the last weeks of her life. And we're going to try to find out what happened to that physical evidence, who was smoking that burnout cigarette in the cooler on the night three people were brutally murdered.
