The Cabbie Killer

Overview

Police find five bodies of young women, all strangled with a particular slipknot. Eventually they tie Paul Durousseau to the murders through DNA samples, fibre analysis, and phone records from the cab he drove. Nikia Shanell Kilpatrick, 19, is found bound and strangled with a cord in her Jacksonville, Florida apartment. Within a month, three more bodies are discovered and attributed to the same killer, each found strangled with a cord fashioned into a peculiar slipknot. Police begin to find links - including DNA samples, fiber analysis, and cab and cell phone records — connecting taxi driver Paul Durousseau to the murders. He is eventually convicted of five counts of first-degree murder.
