A multi-agency task force investigating as many as 21 stranglings arrested a 42-year-old Houma man on Friday and booked him with two of the earliest ones. See story
A statewide investigation into nearly two dozen slayings of men, most around the southeastern Louisiana town of Houma and in neighboring parishes, led police to arrest a suspect Friday who they believe is a serial killer, charging him in the killings of two men from New Orleans.
Houma police arrested Ronald J. Dominique, 42, at a homeless shelter run by the police department on Friday, and accused him of leaving two dead bodies in Jefferson Parish in the late 1990s.
Dominique was booked with for the first-degree murder and aggravated rape in the death of Manuel Reed, 20, whose body was found in a garbage bin May 30, 1999, at 2433 Bainbridge Street in Kenner. He was also charged with second-degree murder in the death of Oliver “Boe” LeBanks, 27, found Oct. 5, 1998, in the 6900 block of Stable Drive in Metairie.
Both men were from New Orleans, and they are the only two victims police have officially linked to Dominique, who gave a street address of 2215 Bayou Blue Road, located just outside of Houma.
Attorney General Charles Foti’s office said that the arrest came after authorities kept Dominique under “24-hour surveillance,” and it marks the first time investigators have definitively called the string of deaths the work of a serial killer. A task force staffed by a number of sheriffs, the FBI and state police formed in March 2005 to begin extensive investigations into at least 22 killings of men between the ages of 18 and 40 that took place between 1997 and 2006, Foti said. The team discovered “scientific forensic evidence” that led to Dominique.

HA HA HA,
It's in the fall, around Halloween.
The ladies do love the beads there also.
.....a nightmare waiting to happen ???
Katrina didn't her damndest to wipe out this cesspool and we are stupid enough to rebuild it!
New Orleans has always been a hole. Almost a shame that they are going to rebuild.
FEMA to blame!
Amen, bother.
I was just trying to offset the inevitable complaints I would get when I said pretty much what you just said. Surely not from freepers? Why? It's the truth!
Although as a man, I would love to see rampant flashing of large breasts and in the flesh, so to speak. LOL Hard to argue with that. Although I would add to your comment: As a HETEROSEXUAL man....
That's the real trouble with N.O. it's become a Biblical Sodom...with a sin level far in excess of even San Francisco. Of course, God would argue that ALL sin is evil and advances the agenda of the Prince of Darkness, but as a man I can afford to put sin on a "sliding scale." In light of my own sin I pretty much have to in order to just stay in the race.
Places like N.O., San Francisco, and even Las Vegas...could drop into the pit of Hell (one day they really will) and I wouldn't miss them. All those folks in those cities that are believers will be saved of course....but the evil will be vanquished. However, politically speaking, many of the worst of these cities are really evil because of the people and the political party that is in control and has pretty much always had the control. Why? Because those folks and that party really embraces and defends the immorality as being a part of the intended order of their world.
Has NBC referred to New Orleans as a civil war?
I think the activities you describe in Florence were not evidence of a high level of moral character.
Is it appropriate to say "God would argue ....?" How can a man consider God to merely have a point of view?
You are 100% correct and I apologize. I only wanted to make the point that I can't make those judgments without being 100% hypocritical. The fact is that I'm but a poor sinner deserving of nothing and I'm saved by grace alone. That's all.
You are an honorable and decent man. I know you were just using a figure of speech.
Repeat after me: queers are nonviolent. < /sarcasm >
The gun ornament is a national story. Not a NO one.
And Ponchatoula and Houma are not New Orleans but hey, why let minor facts get in the way of a good crusade?
Apples and oranges. "High" moral character [or a "low" one] does not make any sense unless in comparison with something else, lower or higher, with that "something else" serving as a standard and a reference point. However, one could compare two moral characters side by side, and then say that one is higher than another, and thus preferable, without venturing an opinion on whether the higher one is high enough [and thus "high" in the sense you used]. What I was saying was that the Florentine practices would be a moral improvement in NO, i.e. I was doing a comparative judgment, when you attempted an absolute one.
I was raped, mugged, stabbed, and called "racist" in New Orleans, but all I got was this lousy T-shirt.
No, but they have called all the criminals "insurgents."
Blah blah blah. How about slowing down, stopping the BS, and realizing that the public executions you described, in which mobs even attacked teh executioner, are not better period than modern society. Ity's easy to long for the "good old days" but why do you think they needed public executions? Do you have any idea of the level of rape and murder that took place in medieval times that was never reported or punished?
