He just wanted to have some fun.

18-year-old Holden White went out that muggy June night with a cute guy he met about a month ago on the gay men’s dating app Grindr.

He hoped this guy would be worth his time. That he wouldn’t be going out with another pig. Holden was about done with Grindr as his hope of having fun with a good guy slowly withered. Most that he met were just scumbags.

The house he was headed to that night was thankfully empty as his date’s dad was working on an offshore oil rig.

He just wanted to have some fun.

Maybe he could score some booze tonight. He wasn’t a heavy drinker mind you, but he did enjoy a beer from time to time. Getting some for the parties in Lafayette would give him total street cred and let people know that…

He just wanted to have some fun…

before he heads to his nrxt chapter — leaving these glory days in the rearview mirror.

Holden White had no idea f the bear trap he just stuck his foot in. An allegedly wannabe-serial-killing, Jeffrey Dahmer acolyte was just beginning his campaign of terror against gay men in southwest Louisiana.

Luckily, the FBI was hot on his trail.
