Seven women were raped and murdered by Derrick Todd Lee, a man with an IQ of 65 who terrorized the Baton Rouge area from 1992 to 2003. One woman, 22-year-old Charlotte Pace, was stabbed 81 times with a flathead screwdriver and knife. Lee is currently on death row in Louisiana.
Tony Frudakis, head of a forensics laboratory in Sarasota, Fla., claims to have perfected a new DNA technology — called SNIPS, or single nucleotide polymorphism — that breaks the ethnicity of a murder suspect down by percentage. In more than 3,000 blind tests of the SNIPS technology, Frudakis’ lab has not yet confirmed a single error, he says.
Frudakis offered the technology to authorities in Louisiana looking for the Baton Rouge serial killer. And the new DNA test led to a break in the case.
As far back as September 2002, a police profile suggested the suspect was likely a white man aged 25 to 35. Even just before the arrest of suspect Derrick Todd Lee, a black man, authorities were following an FBI profile that pegged the killer as most likely white.
After studying DNA found at one of the crime scenes, Frudakis concluded that the Baton Rouge serial killer had about 80 percent African affiliation and 15 percent Native American affiliation. In other words, the killer was not white after all.
Investigators shifted their focus and eventually arrested Lee, 34, in May in connection with the slayings of at least five women in southern Louisiana beginning September 2001.

my church (ferry farm baptist) went to slidel, lousiana for a week to help gut out homes and whatnot.
We absolutely loved the experience at Angel Prints! From the images to the viewing room to the professionalism we encountered there we were very impressed. We especially liked the large viewing screen and space in the viewing room because it meant a lot to be able to bring some family members with us. Even though we live 4 hours away in West Monroe, we would never go anyplace else because we have experienced the difference of seeing our baby clearly and receiving a scan from someone who really knows how to capture great images for us to take home. We are planning a large family and we will certainly be back to Angel Prints for all our ultrasounds!
