Searched and couldn't find anything, but remember the LSU unsolved case being discussed on the OT a while back.

Discovery Channel description

Airs Tuesday at 9PM Central

quote:

KILLING FIELDS will go inside a case that went cold nearly two decades ago in the small community of Iberville Parish, Louisiana, located just 15 miles from the state capitol, Baton Rouge. In June 1997, Louisiana State University graduate student Eugenie Boisfontaine was last seen near LSU’s lakes. Two months later, her body was found nearby in a watery ditch with evidence of blunt force trauma to her head.

But who did it and why? Was it a single act of violence? Or was her murder part of a much bigger string of killings? Between 1997 and 2003, there were 60 cases of missing and murdered women in the area that went unsolved. And to make it even more complicated, the Baton Rouge area had multiple serial killers operating at the same time with two of the their victims living on the same street as Eugenie. Could these murders be connected? Detective Rodie Sanchez was assigned to the case in 1997 and hasn’t stopped thinking about it since. He makes the bold decision to come out of retirement and gets permission to re-open the case. Rodie is determined to solve the mystery and make good on a broken promise to Eugenie’s mother: to find the person (or persons) responsible for killing her daughter.

So this Roddie Sanchez guy pitched this to Discovery?

I thought this was most probably a Derrick Todd Lee murder, but the investigation was so poorly managed that they didn't pursue it once they had a conviction on the others?

There was little doubt that we had a third serial killer working at that time.. Prostitutes were killed and dumped in north BR more frequently than any random events.. I'd say this girl was probably Lee or Gillis..

Still never forget going to see John Douglas speak at the Union during this time and him proclaiming with little doubt that there was a serial killer in the room that evening..

One of my HS classmates was murdered 30 years ago in BR and they got a Codis match on a convicted murderer out of the blue in Georgia and convicted him. I felt like a million bucks as I grew up with her. So anything is possible.

I watched it. All these years I've always thought DTL killed this chick but it looks like I was wrong

I have a hard time believing that black fence guy when he said he saw DTL basically stalking this chick but yet DTL didn't kill her.

After sitting across a small table in Parish Prison from DTL for several hours when he was under trial, I think I've had enough serial killer exposure.

My connections to Derrick Todd Lee:

1. My wife grew up with, was good friends and neighbors with Randi Mebruer, an early victim. They grew up together.

2.I grew up with, was friends and went to school with the husband of Gina Green.

3. I saw Pam Kinamore daily when she dropped her kid off at Parkview Baptist.

4. I have had business dealings with the family of Dene Colomb (post-murder).

It freaks me out that I have that many connections and I have always thought he killed a LOT more.

So Rodie is a terrible detective, right? Looks like he ruled out the ex-husband, who is looking very suspicious, 20 years ago via a 5-minute telephone call.

Even if the ex-husband is innocent that's one of the people he should've looked at the hardest.

A guy that was a suspect inthis murder and was interviewed on the show has been drinking coffee at a friend of mines work lately. She and her coworkers are all freaked out.

Haven't read the thread I'm on episode 4 but my god Rodie is the worst detective I've ever seen. Everything they're doing now should have been done in 1997.
