Such a good song. I'm pretty sure it is a reference to Frankie Richard and the Jeff Davis 8. Look this up if you've never heard of it.

Essentially 8 girls were murdered in or near Jennings, LA (Jefferson Davis Parish) and their bodies were found in the bayou. It seems like it was their drug dealer Frankie Richard, who knew all of them, admitted he had sex with all but one of them (the 14 year old, of course), and had tires to the local police department. Screams police corruption from top to bottom.
