SERIAL KILLERS: NOT IN BATON ROUGEĬlementine Barnabet, an 18 year old creole, was part of a small religious cult who butchered 7 entire families as they slept.

The murderers were able to get away with killing for long periods of time, not because they were particularly clever, because the authorities weren’t prepared for a large scale of killing in one area, incompetent or just plain corrupt.
A significant amount of the murdered men and women were last seen at a bar and were most likely shot or strangled. Unlike most of the country, Louisiana’s most active decade was 2000-2010. Big shout out to the City of Death: Baton Rouge, who claims 70 victims since 1997 when tracking began. Since 1900, 276 victims have been attributed to a serial killer in this state.
