In advance of the show’s return, here’s what you need to know about the infamous Bayou Strangler.īorn in 1964 in the small town of Houma, Louisiana, Dominique grew up an outsider. In “Mark Of A Serial Killer,” returning for new episodes on Oxygen on Saturday, April 2 at 8/7c, investigators take a deep dive into the case and others like it. That marked the beginning of Ronald Joseph Dominique’s nine-year killing spree.īy the time it was over, the “Bayous Strangler,” as he notoriously became known, had left his deadly signature on nearly two dozen victims, reported. 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.In 1997, dead men began turning up in remote sugarcane fields and ditches in seven parishes outside New Orleans. 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. But who was Ronald Dominique and what led him to commit such heinous crimes? 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. Then, Detectives Dennis Thornton and Dawn Bergeron came together as task force partners, indefatigable in their decade-long effort to track down the killer. The murders continued, leaving southeast Louisiana’s gay community rattled and authorities desperate for a break in the case. The victims-many of them transient street hustlers-had been brutally raped and strangled, but police had no leads on the killer’s identity. In 1997, the bodies of young African American men began turning up in the cane fields of the quiet suburbs of New Orleans.
The true story of Louisiana serial killer Ronald Dominique’s ten-year murder spree, the men he slayed, and the detectives who hunted him down.
