BATON ROUGE, La. (Crime Library) — The movie industry is booming in south Louisiana. So are serial killings.
In early December, law enforcement officers in Houma, just over an hour's drive south of Baton Rouge, arrested Ronald Joseph Dominique for the rape and murder of 23 men. Dominique was the third suspected serial killer arrested in south Louisiana in the last four years.

In April 2004, sheriff's deputies in Baton Rouge arrested Sean Vincent Gillis for the strangulation murder and ritualistic mutilation of three women. Within days, Gillis confessed to killing five more women.

A year earlier, in May 2003, a multi-agency task force led by the Baton Rouge Police Department captured suspected serial killer Derrick Todd Lee and charged him with killing seven women. A jury later convicted Lee of first-degree murder and sentenced him to death by lethal injection.
