Summary
What happened, as the record shows.
Eugenie Boisfontaine, 34, an LSU graduate student, vanished while walking around the University Lakes in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1997. Her body was found two months later in Bayou Manchac with blunt-force head trauma. The case unfolded during Baton Rouge's serial-killer era, which complicated the investigation. It was never solved. Discovery's 'Killing Fields' devoted its first two seasons to the case, with additional coverage in 225 Magazine, The Advocate, and the Washington Post.
