Derrick Todd Lee
(November 5, 1968 – January 21, 2016), also known as the Baton Rouge Serial
Killer, was an American serial
killer. His killing spree began in 1992 and ended in 2003, and consisted of
seven women.
Prior
to his murder charges, he had been arrested for stalking women and watching
them in their homes. Lee was initially overlooked by police, because they
incorrectly believed the killer was white. Lee was linked by DNA to the deaths of
seven women in the Baton Rouge and Lafayette areas in Louisiana, and in 2004 was
convicted, in separate trials, of the murders of Geralyn DeSoto and Charlotte
Murray Pace. The Pace trial resulted in a death sentence.
Newspapers
suggested Lee was responsible for other unsolved murders in the area, but the
police lacked DNA evidence to prove these connections. After Lee's arrest, it
was discovered that another serial killer, Sean Vincent Gillis, was operating in the Baton
Rouge area during the same time as Lee.
Lee
died on January 21, 2016, of heart
disease at a hospital in Louisiana, where he was transported for treatment
from Louisiana State Penitentiary, where he had been awaiting execution.
