A Southeast Texas mother whose daughter was killed nearly 14 years ago is speaking out following the arrest of a Deweyville man accused in her death.
Laura Badeaux is the mother of Theresa Foskey, 28. Foskey was killed September 1995. Her body was later found in the Sabine River near Deweyville. Investigators say her killer took her life at her Bridge City mobile home, and then dismembered her body before dumping her remains.
Last week an Orange County Grand Jury handed up an indictment against James Edward Holden, 41, of Deweyville. The one-count indictment charges Holden with capital murder.
Holden remains in the Orange County Jail. A Justice of the Peace has denied his bond.
Tuesday Theresa's mother released the following statement:
I have waited nearly 14 years for the person responsible for stabbing and butchering my daughter, Theresa Foskey, to be apprehended.
My family has endured significant hardship over the years waiting for this day to come.
Holidays, birthdays and anniversaries are a nightmare and will remain so for the rest of my life. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her.
I can only hope no other parent will have to endure this type of pain. As a mother, I regret I wasn't able to be there for her on the night she was murdered. Life without her is full of torment and blame.
Theresa has two grandchildren she never had the chance to see much less to see her own daughters grow up to become young women.
She was a happy, giving person and loved by many.
I will not rest until I see justice served for my daughter.
Thanks to everyone for their patience during this difficult time for my family.
Sincerely,
Laura Badeaux

Just because he slept with someone doesn't mean he killed them. You need to really think hard. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be responsible for killing an not guilty man, jumping at the first straw to get closure. My heart goes out to you. I pray that you will find the right killer. You and the police better listen because there's a lot of facts you aren't even aware of or don't care. God be with you and your family and Jaime's family

I have all the feelings in the world for you because I had a daughter that was murdered. I know how much you need closure but getting it from putting Jamie in jail or killing him is not going to give it to you. I know and my family Love Jamie very well. He would never hurt no one. He has a very special loving family. When my son was killed in a car wreck he stood by us and helped us out.He is a very special person. He was a ladies man he would never hurt any woman.

It's great to see that the family will have some closure now and hopefully the wait was worth it and that waste of humanity gets what he deserves

If this guy did this horrible crime he should be put to death . In the same manner he killed this young lady. Prison is to good for this piece of slime. What would he do against a man. Nothing he is a punk.

As a mother myself, I cant imagine the pain you are going through. I hope they catch everyone that was involved in this and bury them under the jail. My thoughts and prayers have always been with you.
