# Episode 471: The Storyville Slayer Canonical watch page: https://twitch-nude.com/watch/episode-471-the-storyville-slayer-v388096 Language: en Published: 2025-08-28T03:07:05+00:00 Source creator: 13 O'Clock Podcast Duration: 11885 seconds ## Description The Storyville Slayer, also known as the New Orleans Serial Killer, is an unidentified perpetrator believed to be responsible for the murders of at least 12 to as many as 27 women, predominantly Black and transgender individuals involved in prostitution and often struggling with drug addiction, in and around New Orleans, Louisiana, between 1991 and 1996. The killer's modus operandi typically involved rape followed by strangulation, beating, or drowning, with victims' nude bodies dumped in remote locations such as swamps, canals, ditches, or along highways near Lake Pontchartrain, leading to severe decomposition and challenges in identification and evidence collection. Suspects included New Orleans police officer Victor Gant, who was investigated but never charged due to inconclusive DNA evidence in at least two cases, and taxi driver Russell Ellwood, who was convicted in 1999 of one related murder (Cheryl Lewis) and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole before dying in prison in 2014. Despite these developments and a 1997 hoax call to the Howard Stern Show claiming responsibility for 12 killings, the majority of the murders remain unsolved. #truecrime #serialkiller #storyvilleslayer Please support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/13oclockpodcast Check out Jenny's other channels!
