With his victims bound and defenseless, Dominique raped and murdered them, according to investigators, usually by strangulation.
He then dumped the bodies across a six-parish area, like a modern-day Johnny Appleseed of death.
THE TWO FACES OF DOMINIQUE
Like the Roman god Janus, who presented two faces to the world, Ronald Joseph Dominique had two faces: one was that of a good neighbor and loving uncle; the other was that of a twisted, sadistic killer.
Ronnie Hebert has known Dominique for years. Hebert owns Ronnie's Lounge, a bar two blocks away from the homeless shelter where Dominique was arrested Friday. A few years ago, Hebert was dating Dominique's cousin and often saw the man now suspected of being a serial killer hanging out in his bar.

"About three or four years ago he was here just about every weekend," Hebert said. "He was quiet. He never really spoke to too many people. He never caused no problems."
Dominique barely drank, Hebert said. Usually he sipped on sodas and shot pool.
Hebert was shocked to hear of Dominique's arrest. "It's kind of hard to believe," Hebert said. "He didn't seem like that kind of person."
