re: BRPD chief - it’s not my fault we can’t solve Allie Rice’s murder - it’s misinformation

The only woman to survive an attack by Lee - Collette Dwyer

Well…that’s not true. If I recall, Dwyer wasn’t exactly attacked by him, she was stalked. Lucky lady, regardless. Obviously, the police and task force should have listened to her, though.

Dianne Alexander survived an attack during the height of his spree, which led to a description and physical evidence. (I believe he used her telephone line in another one of the murders.)



Edit to add:

At that point, we had already gone through the Williams case in Georgia who just happened to be black.

The one who turned out to be the most prolific serial killer in the nation's history - Samuel Little - was black.

His reign of terror went from 1970 - to 2005, so he was still killing at the same time as Lee.

All while the FBI's inadequate standard for profiling serial killers was still being followed trustingly.

The DC Snipers happened during that span too. I hope they’ve adjusted their profiling since then.


There were multiple active serial killers in LA during that time.

The aforementioned Snipers had victims in LA.

Lee and his reign of terror.

Gillis at the same time as Lee in BR, but not as famous because his victim choice were living high risk lifestyles.

And that guy down in Houma, who had a higher score than either BR guy, that was killing gays.

Crazy that a little geographical area with a small population like South Louisiana had three different true serial killers at one time, and I want to say the Advocate had an article back at that time listing the unsolved murders that suggested there might have been a third in BR-proper. Makes you wonder…
