Between 1997 and 2006, an overweight pizza delivery man named Ronald Dominique strangled 23 men across rural Louisiana, and almost no one has ever heard his name.A deep-dive article on all of the obscure legends featured in the first section of tonight's podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/obscure-legends/EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/BayouStranglerREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3fyw74cjFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Spine-tingling ghost stories and eerie myths... come to life!

(Myths And Ghosts You May Never Have Heard Of) *** In the quiet town of Essex, Maryland, the disappearance of nine-year-old Alva Jean Parris shattered the peace of summer 1960. Walking just three blocks to her aunt's house, she vanished without a trace, only for her body to be found days later, hidden beneath a makeshift grave. Decades have passed, but the mystery of who took Alva Jean and why remains unsolved. (Who Killed Alva Jean?) *** He's a little-known serial killer. Ronald J.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 23, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness travels from obscure folklore across four continents to a little-known Louisiana serial killer and a Maryland child murder that has gone unsolved for more than sixty years.It opens with a tour through the ghosts and monsters that rarely make the usual lists: the Dungarvon Whooper, the murdered lumber-camp cook named Ryan whose whoops still echo along New Brunswick's Dungarvon River; the strzyga of Slavic myth, a two-hearted, twin-souled demon that takes the form of a barn owl before it feeds; Lady Koi Koi, the red-heeled teacher whose clicking footsteps haunt boarding schools across Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa; the banshee of North Carolina's Tar River, tied to a flour miller named Dave Warner and the Revolutionary War redcoats who drowned him in 1781; the Headless Nun of Miramichi, the murdered Sister Marie who wanders French Fort Cove asking where her head has gone; the Kludde, a chain-rattling shapeshifting dog from Belgian and Dutch folklore; the Inupasugjuk, the rarely-seen giants of Inuit tradition; the Dearg Due of County Waterford, an abused Irish bride who rose from her grave near the Tree of Strongbow to drain the blood of her father and husband; the Goatman of Old Alton Bridge near Denton, Texas, an 1884 iron truss bridge also tied to the lynching of black goat farmer Oscar Washburn; and the Stratford Knockings of 1850, the poltergeist that draped Reverend Eliakim Phelps's Connecticut mansion in funeral crepe and centered on his eleven-year-old stepson Harry.From there the episode turns to Ronald Joseph Dominique, the Louisiana pizza delivery man dubbed the Bayou Strangler, who raped and strangled twenty-three men between 1997 and 2006 while evading police for nearly a decade. Drawing on Fred Rosen's book The Bayou Strangler, the segment follows the killing of Oliver LeBanks, beaten with a tire iron and dumped beneath a highway overpass near Metairie, and traces Dominique's earlier victims across St. Charles Parish, from nineteen-year-old David Mitchell in July 1997 to twenty-year-old Gary Pierre and thirty-eight-year-old Larry Ranson, most of them gay African American men lured with the promise of paid sex. It introduces Detective Lieutenant Dennis Thornton of the Jefferson Parish sheriff's office, who worked the LeBanks scene and set himself the task of linking the killings that DNA evidence would finally tie to Dominique.The episode closes with the June 10, 1960 disappearance of nine-year-old Alva Jean Parris, who vanished walking three blocks to her aunt's house from the Riverdale Apartments in Essex, Maryland. Five days later, searchers found her shoes in a marsh and her body in a shallow grave concealed with linoleum, sod, and twigs beside an abandoned farmhouse, her abdomen and pelvis coated in lye. Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. William Lovitt found decomposition too advanced to confirm a cause of death, though strangulation was suspected, and despite polygraph tests, a solid alibi clearing her mother Fredonia, and tips about a man seen in a sailor's hat, no suspect was ever charged in a case that remains open today.

Former U.S. Olympic canoeist David "Davey" Hearn pleaded not guilty in a D.C. court to a felony charge of destruction of property.

The charge carries a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison. The Rolling Stones have dropped a new studio album titled Foreign Tongues.

When President Richard Nixon lied about and covered up the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate building by his people - Americans - even Republicans - rejected Nixon's lying and cover-up to the point where Nixon was left with no option but to resign. Today, if President Trump were guilty of the same lies and cover-up, he would still be supported by many Republicans and Republican politicians on Capitol Hill, and there would not have been a rally cry to resign. Is there a difference between lying and not being honest. Yes! Scoot explains the difference and with all the lying and dishonesty in the country it's important to know the difference. CBS Evening News mistakenly aired video footage of Kanye West instead of Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Dr. Bob Thomas has been plugged into the nutria crisis for more than five decades, and in this episode he and Dr. Aimée Thomas take you deep into the natural history, cultural legacy, and ecological crisis of Louisiana's most infamous invasive rodent. Bob shares the corrected origin story, the rise and fall of the fur trade, and his own role in launching the very first Nutria Fest in 1992 at the New Orleans Nature Center, where Paul Prudhomme served as judge and declared the winning dish fit for any restaurant in the world.Along the way, Bob and Aimée get into the biology that makes nutria so well-suited to Louisiana and so devastating once they got here: their taxonomic kinship with chinchillas, capybaras, and guinea pigs (not the rats people assume), their iron-stained orange teeth that grow throughout their lives, their distinctive "nan-cy" call across the marsh, the parasitic nematode behind nutria itch, the beautiful yellow fouchette wildflower whose barbed seeds ruined the pelt industry, and the catastrophic eat-outs that have helped destroy thousands of acres of Louisiana wetlands. They cover the Coastwide Nutria Control Program, the $6-per-tail bounty, the Nutria Rodeo in Venice, the Metairie canal crisis solved by Sheriff Harry Lee's sharpshooters, and the story behind Aimée's nutria-tooth earrings.And at the end, the math that explains why this problem is so hard to solve: a female nutria reaches sexual maturity at one year old and produces 12 to 15 babies a year for 3 to 4 years. Run the numbers and a single female is ultimately responsible for 715,000 nutria within four years.This is a good one... enjoy!!!Follow @SoNatPodcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for some pictures to go along with this episode!Visit our website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://lucec.loyno.edu/so-nat-podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Do you have any more questions about nature?

Local businesswoman and alcoholic alternatives advocate Monica Olano — owner of three businesses, including Cali Sober Market in Metairie — has experienced first-hand the effects of the changes Louisiana's legislature made to the hemp-based product industry in 2024. The changes, she said, are negatively impacting local bars and restaurants, as well as consumers, and causing the state to lose money. When HB539 was introduced this session, it aimed to correct some of the damage, but earlier this month the bill was pulled. Where does that leave the industry's future? Olano shares her thoughts.

 What if the most precious pieces of your family history were ones you had to secretly carry home five steps at a time? In this episode, I sit down with my cousin Arlene Rome, a Louisiana native and retired nurse whose story of love, loss, and quiet rebellion will stay with you long after you finish listening. Arlene grew up in the golden summers of Metairie with a grandmother who drove a red convertible, played "These Boots Were Made for Walking" on an 8-track, and loved her fiercely — until a family rift tore them apart. What Arlene did to stay connected, and what her grandmother gave her the day before she died, is the kind of story that reminds us exactly why family stories are worth preserving. If you've ever felt the ache of a family relationship cut short too soon — or wondered what it means to be the last one standing with all the memories — this episode is for you. 〰️

666. Kathleen Kass Byrd, part 1, joins us to discuss her book on the history of Natchitoches. "Kathleen M. Byrd's Natchitoches, Louisiana, 1803–1840 is an examination of one French Creole community as it transitioned from a fur-trading and agricultural settlement under the control of Spain to a critical American outpost on the Spanish/American frontier and finally to a commercial hub and jumping-off point for those heading west. Byrd focuses on historic events in the area and the long-term French Creole residents as they adapted to the American presence. She also examines the effect of the arrival of the Americans, with their Indian trading house and Indian agency, on Native groups and considers how members of the enslaved population took advantage of opportunities for escape presented by a new international border. Byrd shows how the arrival of Americans forever changed Natchitoches, transforming it from a sleepy frontier settlement into a regional commercial center and staging point for pioneers heading into Texas" (LSU Pr.). Kathleen M. Byrd (nicknamed Kass) is a distinguished anthropologist, archaeologist, and historian specializing in the history and prehistory of Louisiana, particularly the Natchitoches region. A native of Connecticut, she earned her B.A. from Marquette University, an M.A. from LSU (focusing on coastal subsistence patterns), and a Ph.D. from the University of Florida. She served as Louisiana's state archaeologist for 15 years before joining Northwestern State University (NSU) in Natchitoches in 1994, where she later became director of the School of Social Sciences for 12 years until her retirement.

Send us a textOur 2025 Culinary Thanksgiving Special is here yall. This time- with ya papa's favorite- upper end Italian and it is some better than Venice. I said it. I had it. and I know it. But this is deeper than that. It is deeper than the menu, the ambience. This is where legacies are made. And this Restaurant's story is unlike anything I have ever heard. I knew it was special, but boy Heidi. This is a unique rendition of a chef to table story.      The Late, Vincent Catalanotto Sr. learned to love and appreciate food at an early age, and then spent most of his life working in the service industry, fueling his passion for the restaurant business while allowing him to hone his innate ability to create fabulous meals and to make people happy. His years of experience as a waiter convinced him that people like to eat food that is familiar, but which has a spark of uniqueness about it.Vincent opened the first of his successful neighborhood restaurants in 1989. The "little Italian place on the side street" quickly became Metairie's hidden jewel. Vincent developed a menu that showcases the finest and freshest ingredients available. He blended his own ideas about New Orleans style Italian cooking with some things he learned while working in fine dining rooms around the city. Locals returned often because of the quality and value of the food as well as for the comfortable atmosphere created by Vincent and his well-chosen staff. It wasn't long before Vincent had more customers than chairs; the addition of a second location was inevitable.Vincent Catalanotto's son, and new proprietor of Vincent's Italian Cuisine in Matairie, Vincent Catalanotto Jr. sat down with me recently in their Metairie location. It was special. And I very much appreciate V talking to me about his one of a kind, late pops. Wow, what an inspiration. I gotta tell ya- it was so moving that the lights flickered a couple times. Not gonna lie. This one was very special.  Happy Thanksgiving you's guys. I am getting the cataloni asap!  _________________________________________________________________________Then later we welcome back our long time partners, Ochsner Children's Hospital! For first time parents, finding your new pediatrician can be a tall order.

New Orleans has long been known for its Spanish, French, and African influences, so it can be easy to overlook the role the Chinese have played in our culture and cuisine since the mid-1800s. On this week's show, we explore the Chinese in the Crescent City – yesterday and today. First, we hear from the Historic New Orleans Collection's Winston Ho, who fills us in on the captivating history of the Chinese community here. He talks about the earliest restaurants that cropped up during Reconstruction, the Crescent City's short-lived Chinatown, and the substantial Chinese impact on the local seafood industry. Then, we fast forward to the present day to learn about Miss Shirley's Chinese Restaurant on Magazine Street – named best new restaurant in Louisiana by Southern Magazine in 2024. We visit with the restaurant's namesake, the vivacious Miss Shirley Lee, whose Royal China Restaurant in Metairie drew customers from all over the metro area for four decades. We chat with Miss Shirley about why her retirement only lasted a year – and meet her daughter, Carling, who is carrying her parents' traditions into the next generation.

We check in with Scott Boyle from DOTD for an update on the newly reopened I-10 ramp and the Metairie Road project that's been causing some headaches.

Our Chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey has advice for... Ayanna in Philly – My daughter is 5 years old and I haven’t had a job since she was born. Her father told me that he wants to date other people. If we break up and he moves out, I will have to get a job to make ends meet. Do I try to hold my little family together by letting him date other women or should I get a job and leave him? Trent in Saginaw – I helped my female co-worker get the air fixed in her car. She told me it was expensive but she didn’t ask for my help. She went to my technician and I paid for half of it. Her sorry boyfriend told me I was foul for what I did. Was I wrong to help? Dorothy in Metairie – My best friend passed away in 2022 and her husband got remarried in January. It’s unsettling to see the new wife wearing my friend’s old hats to church and driving around in her old car. I don’t like it. Should I talk to the husband about this? Chester in New Rochelle – My neighbor swerved to avoid a trash can and he ended up hitting my fence. He said he’s not paying to fix my fence because my trash can should not have been in the street. Is it best to take him to small claims court or beat his a$$? Steve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
