Do you know if his mother stayed there after his conviction?

Gary Ridgway was one of the most prolific serial killers in American history, and he had an IQ in the low 80s. For anyone to suggest DTL was too retarded to commit these murders is ridiculous.
And if we know one thing about Baton Rouge, you can be retarded and get away with murder….
or even become chief of police

It's a good thing we're on our way to banning guns so women can't defend themselves.

Yep. White Chevy work trucks. Which are extremely common in the Baton Rouge area with all the plants.
DTL never owned one. He drove a small Japanese car - like a Mitsubishi Galant or something similar.
His girlfriend's uncle was the owner of the white truck. He had borrowed it for the drive to Whiskey Bay when he was spotted. The witness description of the truck was spot on. Unfortunately, the same witness thought DTL was white. I saw the truck and questioned my dad about it, but he said the owner was an older black man. The cops were insistent it was a white killer, though, so we ignored it.

Did you keep it? I know a guy that likes to buy old junk. He posts here.
—haha—that brought a grin!
We kept the phone a week in case the police called back—they didn’t—then threw it away.

I went to high school with Geralyn and her husband. All I can say is that she was an awesome person. I did not know until after the fact I worked with Pam Kinamore’s husband at dept of natural resources. I can remember the cops blocking all roads in and out of LSU one week checking people's vehicles. I do remember one guy had a white Chevy and had a sticker made that said "not the killer". The girl i was dating at the time sort of fit his prey and i was scared schittless for her. She always had mace on her and i tried to drive her around at night. People were pissed when they found out it was DTL, the cops were sure it was a white guy. Crazy times in baton rouge.

FBI really fricked up the profile.
I was in grad school at the time. I was a young, single, white male who drove a mid 90s Ford Ranger. I can tell you I was pulled over multiple times for ticky-tack things like changing lanes too close to a red light and going 37 in a 35. Cops would look in the bed of my truck and look around the cab and talk for a minute then let me go. I knew what they were up to and didn’t have anything to hide so I didn’t really mind.
Crazy times indeed.

So weird passing by DTL's old house on 61 and seeing that someone is living in it.
Posted on 6/1/22 at 7:14 am to financetiger
I worked at the same place as Gina Green and was hired to be her assistant. My first job in college and here in BR. I had just started about a week before her death. A horrible horrible thing.

I think the thought at the time was that he might have been to retarded to stand trial. Not that he was to retarded to have committed them. But they ruled he wasn't.
At least that's what wikipedia says.

Anyone see the WBRZ special last night? It was decent.
I had no idea that DNA tests of 20 years ago couldn't identify race. It was only after a Florida lab got involved months into the investigation and identified the killer as black.
Also, IMO the special should have focused on the fear and frenzy in BR. Lines were out the door on a daily basis at Jim's Firearms. WBRZ spent too much time talking to Kinamore's friend and the lady she adopted her kid from. Nobody wanted to hear about their hair-brained theories.

I know a family that lost someone to Gillis.
Also the museum of death in NOLA has DTL’s toe tag from the Angola morgue and pieces of his organs floating in formaldehyde

Alexander's survival and description of Lee assisted investigators in his arrest. Alexander felt she deserved the Lafayette Crime Stoppers Inc. public reward offering of $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of Lee. On or about August 14, 2003 Alexander contacted Lafayette Crime Stoppers Inc. and inquired about the offer. It was then that Lafayette Crime Stoppers Inc. informed Alexander that she was not eligible to receive the reward.

I lived directly across from her condo. Came home from a day of fishing to my condo wrapped in crime scene tape. Didn’t sleep well there for a while.

I was taking summer classes that year and it got really eerie for awhile. Especially after the second murder.
