Well after reading threw most of this post I figured I would chime in now. Dumas will be in trouble later this spring when they have to open all the spillways to keep the Mississippi River and the Atchafalya river from flooding everything. So enable to provide for his family it might make sense for him to try and make a move to Big Lake. Also the people on this side of the state overall are much friendlier and crime is lower so maybe he is tired of living in the chocolate city.
