An Iberia Parish inmate has escaped the jail, according to the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office is searching for 39-year-old Kristian Broussard, a pre-trial detainee held for second-degree murder.

John Wayne Gacy’s house has since been torn down and replaced with a new residence, built on the same land where Gacy reportedly buried many of his victims. The home, located at 8215 W. Summerdale Ave., was sold for just shy of $400,000 in May 2021.

The same day around 11:45 pm, Broussard was captured and rebooked into the Iberia Parish Jail on the charge of Aggravated Escape. Broussard is a pre-trial detainee held for 2nd degree murder.

Assisting the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office were multiple law enforcement agencies, plus a flight school, the Aviation Academy of Louisiana.
