Investigators in southwestern Louisiana have been hunting for a serial killer blamed for the deaths of at least eight women in the past five years. Above are the photos of 6 of the 8 women that police believe were slain by the serial killer.At least one victim was asphyxiated and two appeared to have had their throats cut. Authorities were not able to determine the cause of death in many of the cases. As in most serial killings, the victims all shared similarities and many had high-risk lifestyles involving substance abuse and prostitution, investigators said.
