Additional Arrests of Morgan City Men Made in Murder Case

On Thursday, KPEL News reported the arrests of Alvin Fitch of Morgan City and Christopher Martin of Berwick on murder warrants. Today, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office says deputies - along with help from the U.S. Coast Guard and the Grand Isle Police Department - have also arrested 33-year-old Seth Lovett of Morgan City as he came back from working offshore.

In a press release, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Tim Soignet says human bones were discovered in a wooded area in the 5200 block of North Bayou Black Drive in Gibson on Wednesday. Sheriff Soignet says they were able to find the human remains of a male individual after working with the Morgan City and Patterson Police Departments. The deceased person's identity is not being released at this time as the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab is confirming DNA identification.

Lovett, Fitch, and Martin are currently being held in the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex without bond.

Another Morgan City man - 26-year-old Chance Boudreaux - is being charged with one count of Accessory after the Fact to First Degree Murder. He was already in custody in Morgan City and booked for Accessory after the Fact to First Degree Murder. He is being held on $500,000 bond.

Sheriff Soignet says more arrests are likely in this active investigation.
