Summary
Kelly then digs deep into this still unsolved case to attempt to piece together the theory that Derrick Todd Lee was responsible.
Michele Chapman, one of the brave teens from part 3 of this series, resurfaces years later as she positively identifies lee via photographic lineup. Lee was never charged however due to the statute of limitations running out on the charge but it is worth noting that he was identified prior to five more victims being linked to DTL and a missed opportunity to stop Lee before his murder count would increase.
KJ then dives into the tragic dissappearance of Randi Mebruer who, in April of 1998 disappeared from her home in Zachary, Louisiana leaving her young son behind.
The crime scene painted a picture of violence and detectives years later would link Derrick Todd Lee (DTL) to her murder by DNA. Randi Mebruer would become Lee’s second confirmed murder victim.
Derrick Todd Lee (DTL) terrorized the Baton Rouge and Lafayette Louisiana. A Serial Killer who took the lives of at least (7) women in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, Lee’s reign of terror finally ended in late May of 2003 when he was captured in Atlanta, GA after being linked by DNA to several of the murders.
This is DTL
