Why would Eric Selders murder Mary Alvarez?
Four months before 41-year-old Eric O’Neal Selders allegedly killed 63-year-old Hammond business owner Mary Alvarez, the reputed drug dealer earned a 15-year vacation to the state prison in Angola.
Has reward hindered Alvarez murder investigation?
In February 2021, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office again asked the public for information regarding the unsolved homicides that claimed the lives of 63-year-old Mary Alvarez, 42-year-old Daytra Miller, and 13-year-old Robert West, Jr. In each murder case, the sheriff’s office increased rewards for information to $25,000. Bayou Justice explored the murders of Daytra Miller and her son, Robert, twice since the horrific event, but not the Alvarez case. Unfortunately, the original reward offered in that case may be responsible for that oversight.
