The victims--many of them transient street hustlers--had been brutally raped and strangled, but police had no leads on the killer's identity. The murders continued, leaving southeast Louisiana's gay community rattled and authorities desperate for a break in the case. Then, Detectives Dennis Thornton and Dawn Bergeron came together as task force partners, indefatigable in their decade-long effort to track down the killer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 2006, DNA evidence finally linked the murders to a suspect: the unassuming Ronald Joseph Dominique, who had lived under the radar for years, working as a pizza deliveryman and meter reader. But who was Ronald Dominique and what led him to commit such heinous crimes? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With direct access to the investigation, Dominique's confession, and all of the killer's body dump sites in throughout the state, author Fred Rosen enters the warped mind of a murderer and captures a troubled, disturbing, and broken life. As with the many other serial killers he has covered, including Jeffrey Dahmer (the Milwaukee Cannibal) and Dennis Rader (the BTK Killer), Rosen provides a horrifying and fascinating account of the lengths to which a bloodthirsty monster will go to lure and brutalize his victims.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51433891922143,"sku":"9781504039505","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/4TbiX42Zth9781504039505.webp?v=1790020621"},{"product_id":"deadly-angel-mass-market-paperbound","title":"Deadly Angel - Mass Market Paperbound","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn astonishing true story of bizarre love and lethal obsession in America's last frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMechele Hughes came to Wasilla, Alaska (pop. 4200), looking for a new life and easy money.
