Sinister Secrets of the Bayou Strangler-Part 2-Episode 21

Ronald Joseph Dominique, also known as The Bayou Strangler, he was an American serial killer and rapist who murdered at least 23 men and boys in the state of Louisiana between 1997 and 2006. Dominique's victims tended to be teenagers and men aged between 16 and 46, but not all of them were homosexual. Most of the victims were African-American. He often met them during walks or drives in his pickup truck, as well as in gay bars, luring them with offers of alcohol, drugs, housing, or group sex with his supposed girlfriend. After successfully convincing potential victims, Dominique would lure them to his trailer where he would overpower them, bind them, and subsequently rape them. According to the investigators, Dominique then strangled them, loaded their bodies into the back of his truck, and dumped them in remote rural areas in one of six nearby parishes.
