Gerald Estrade, Metairie child killer, accused of threatening Jim Letten

Gerald Estrade, the Metairie postal worker who fatally beat his 10-year-old daughter in 1988 and hid her body in the south Mississippi woods, touching off one of the most fervent investigations in Jefferson Parish history, is back in jail — accused of threatening to kill former U.S. Attorney Jim Letten. Estrade, released from prison in 1999, made the threat Monday while under psychiatric care at Baton Rouge General Hospital, the FBI said.

Three days later, a grand jury indicted Estrade, 56. He’s scheduled for arraignment Thursday in U.S. District Court in Baton Rouge.
