A private investigator was engaged by Justin Bonus, a New York City attorney, to seek down and interrogate Keith Laborde’s cousin, Dana Brouillette.
Brouillette’s story was stunning. Laborde informed her at a bar long after the trial that Vincent Simmons was never with Laborde and the twins on Little California Road that night, she alleged in a sworn affidavit.
Instead, Brouillette claimed in the affidavit that Laborde told her “he had consensual intercourse with one of the girls and locked the other one in the trunk.” Laborde, she added, had scratches on his neck.
Brouillette told the private investigator that she thinks Laborde and the twins cooked up the Vincent tale to explain Laborde’s neck scratches.
Karen confessed for the first time publicly in an interview with CBS News that she and Keith Laborde had consensual sex when she was a toddler and he was a teenager, years before the alleged event with Vincent Simmons. She claims, however, that this has nothing to do with what Simmons is accused of doing.
