In fact Lee is one of at least five serial killers who have operated in the area independently of each other since 1995.
Last weekend, one of the prime suspects, Derrick Todd Lee, whose DNA has been linked to the murders of seven women - including two who lived on the same street as Ms Boisfontaine - died in hospital while on Death Row. One of the revelations to emerge from the series is that the investigation - both then and now - has been “complicated” by the fact that “multiple serial killers” were operating in the area at the time of the 34-year-old graduate student’s 1997 murder. The series, shot in real time and dubbed the love child of Serial and True Detective, follows the original lead investigator, retired detective Rodie Sanchez and cold case Detective Aubrey St Angelo, as they team up to find Ms Boisfontaine’s killer. The phenomenon is now receiving national attention in America, at least among devotees of Discovery’s new crime documentary Killing Fields, which tracks the reinvestigation of the 20-year-old unsolved murder of Eugenie Boisfontaine in the parish of Iberville, just outside Baton Rouge.
Over the past two decades, the citizens of Baton Rouge and its outskirts have been hunted by no less than five serial killers.Ĭlose to 70 men and women have been taken since around 1997, when authorities started noticing unusual patterns forming in their murder statistics. THIS city in America’s deep south is stalked by death.
