Are Serial Killers Still Active in Louisiana? FBI Thinks So

KNGT | Louisiana — Perhaps the most frightening and distressing thing that can happen in a town is that there is an active serial killer. Think of the BTK killer in Kansas or the world of the zodiac in Northern California.

Louisiana has had a number of historical murderers, but not many have become part of the national consciousness. Are there any that are operating in the Bayou State right now?

The query about active killers was posted on the Reddit Website under subreddit "No Stupid Questions".

The National Tracking Initiatives of the FBI. These types of offenses are monitored nationally by the FBI. Most people agree that there are up to thirty-six (around thirty-six) active killers. The long-haul truck driver is the most closely examined group. Which makes me think that old movie Joy Ride from 2001 might actually be a true story.

Cities along the feared I-10corridor, are considered "hot spot" places.

According to one explanation regarding the overall lack of awareness regarding active killers, the news media has deprioritized serial killers because they believe that this focus glamorizes the murders and encourages imitation. Spree killers are also less likely to receive names that highlight them rather than their victims.
