Sabine Parish Sheriff Aaron Mitchell reports Sabine Parish Sheriff Detectives attended the 2022 Louisiana Homicide Investigators Association (LHIA) Conference in Lake Charles this week.

 

Chief Detective Anthony Lowe Jr, Detectives Shelly Sepulvado, Don Flores, and David Gentry spent the week listening to speakers from across the country and attending training seminars.

 

Topics included:

• Aquatic death investigations and homicidal drownings

• Sexual assaults

• Torture and homicide recognition and investigations
