Dominique's arrest and subsequent confession to nearly two dozen murders stunned another long-time acquaintance who owns a video rental store just down the street from Dominique's sister's mobile home, where Dominique kept his camper trailer parked and is alleged to have committed many of the brutal crimes for which he now stands accused.
"He was a very friendly guy," said the woman, who asked Crime Library not to publish her name. "You couldn't ask for a better guy."
Dominique was a frequent customer at the video store for several years. The owner said she knew Dominique was gay. He rented gay porn movies and sometimes talked enthusiastically about dates he'd had with other men.
He also liked comedies and often rented children's movies for his nieces and nephews, she said.
A few months ago, Dominique surprised the video store owner when he walked in and told her that the police suspected him of being the Houma-area serial killer.
"If you're the serial killer," the store owner joked with him, "then I'm the queen of England."
Now that Dominique has been arrested and has reportedly confessed to being the serial killer, that brief exchange haunts the store owner.
