In August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina, one of the worst natural disasters to ever strike the US, devastated the Gulf Coast. Claiming the lives of over 2,000 people.Also claiming lives the same year, was a long-active serial killer; known as the Bayou Strangler or The Bayou Killer. Ronald Dominique was single handedly responsible for the brutal rape and murder of 23 men between 1997-2006. With his dumpy 5’5 frame and his ability to keep to himself, the unassuming Ron Dominique was able to rape and kill without ever being suspected; going unnoticed throughout rural Cajun country as he left a trail of bodies in his wake. So devoted to his sick craft that not even a natural disaster of biblical proportions could stop him. So today my friends, join us discuss the case of the Bayou Killer. Trigger warning, this episode does deal with sexual assault and incest, abduction and abuse.
