The victims--many of them transient street hustlers--had been brutally raped and strangled, but police had no leads on the killer's identity. The murders continued, leaving southeast Louisiana's gay community rattled and authorities desperate for a break in the case. Then, Detectives Dennis Thornton and Dawn Bergeron came together as task force partners, indefatigable in their decade-long effort to track down the killer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 2006, DNA evidence finally linked the murders to a suspect: the unassuming Ronald Joseph Dominique, who had lived under the radar for years, working as a pizza deliveryman and meter reader. But who was Ronald Dominique and what led him to commit such heinous crimes? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With direct access to the investigation, Dominique's confession, and all of the killer's body dump sites in throughout the state, author Fred Rosen enters the warped mind of a murderer and captures a troubled, disturbing, and broken life. As with the many other serial killers he has covered, including Jeffrey Dahmer (the Milwaukee Cannibal) and Dennis Rader (the BTK Killer), Rosen provides a horrifying and fascinating account of the lengths to which a bloodthirsty monster will go to lure and brutalize his victims.","brand":"Open Road Integrated Media LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45411249553559,"sku":"9781504039505","price":1557.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781504039505.webp?v=1767106077","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-bayou-strangler-louisianas-most-gruesome-serial-killer-9781504039505","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
