Derrick Todd Lee: The Baton Rouge Serial Killer

Introduction

Derrick Todd Lee, also known as the Baton Rouge Serial Killer, was a notorious murderer responsible for the brutal deaths of several women in Louisiana between 1998 and 2003. His crimes shocked the community and led to a lengthy investigation before his arrest in 2003.

Background and Modus Operandi

Lee primarily targeted women, breaking into their homes or luring them into situations where he could attack. His methods included stabbing, beating, and strangulation. DNA evidence played a crucial role in linking him to multiple murders, as his crimes initially went unsolved due to incorrect profiling.
