Natchitoches Burning (2006)

Corinthian Houston, a five year old boy from Natchitoches, was abducted by one of his mother's ex-boyfriends. He was tied to a chair in an abdandoned house and burned alive. Here he receives the palms of the martyrs and a crown of stars. His brutal slaying ruined many lives and ended that of Corinthian before it had truly begun. This tragic event took place in the charming city of Natchitoches, Louisiana.
