Serial Killer Has Struck Again, Officials Believe
Authorities said they believe a woman whose body was found last month in a field near Lafayette was slain by a serial killer responsible for the deaths of three other women.
The apparent fourth victim, Trineisha Dene Colomb, 23, was reported missing Nov. 22 after her car was found. Two days later, her body was found about 20 miles away.
DNA evidence matched genetic evidence from the three other killings, which occurred in Baton Rouge, Lt. Craig Stansbury said.
Authorities say Colomb died from blunt trauma to the head.
