Who remembers the older lady who disappeared from the truck stop in Port Allen?

Does anyone remember her name? And if so was there any resolution to her case?

It was on the tip of my tongue for a second but just vanished.

I believe she was going to visit her husband who was in federal prison. I think he may have been the commissioner of elections at one time

Mari Ann Fowler. The police are almost certain it was Derrick Todd Lee who killed her because a truck fitting the description of his was seen in the little bit of video they had pulling up next to her and a large man jumping out and grabbing her. His cell phone also pinged a tower in near vicinity.

Lee was remorseless to the end. The police tried to get him to admit to killing her and telling them where he deposited her remains, but he never would. He was a pos to the max.

That’s her. Thanks. So, they have never found her?

They touched on her case on the show The Killing Fields.

Like the others have already mentioned, Derek Todd Lee was suspected.

They were, but that whole white privilege has forced us to open up the serial killer club to non-whites.

They usually are. Derrick Todd Lee and the guy from Atlanta that killed all the young black kids in the late 70’s and early 80’s are the only two I can think of.

They called the Atlanta guy “The Son of Sambo”. But that is probably no longer PC.

You're forgetting the sniper and the kid that was with him.

ETA: DC sniper

No, sadly, they haven't found her yet. I had heard that her son tried to talk her into staying with him for the holiday, but she felt she needed to go see her husband, Jerry Fowler. Just a very, very sad thing. I can't even imagine the shear terror and pain that poor woman must have gone through, along with all the other unfortunate victims. Just horrible.

Wayne Williams-Atlanta.

One policeman that spoke to Mary Ann Fowlers son said cell phone triangulation put DTL within 100 feet of there.

DTL was some scary stuff. My friends fiancé was roomates (“which makes us nothing”) with the girl killed in tiger land.

I think the lady killed off of Stanford supposedly had DTL face prints on her windows.

Yep. DC sniper is another one. I know a CO that works in the VA prison where he is incarcerated.

He is not enjoying his stay.

I just went and read up on Wayne Williams.

He was never convicted of any of the kids murders. He was convicted of killing 2 adults.

LINK


In addition to John Allen Muhammad and D.T. Lee, there was also Jeffery Lee Guillory. I had forgotten about him. This link has a good article by the Advocate.
