Sean Vincent Gillis: The Other Baton Rouge Serial Killer

For nearly a decade, women were being murdered in and around Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while another notorious predator, Derrick Todd Lee, was also terrorizing the area. Hidden among those crimes was a second serial killer whose name would become synonymous with some of Louisiana’s most disturbing murders: Sean Vincent Gillis. Between 1994 and 2004, Gillis murdered eight women, including Ann Bryan, Katherine Ann Hall, Hardee Schmidt, Joyce Williams, Lillian Robinson, Marilyn Nevils, Johnnie Mae Williams, and Donna Bennett Johnston. His victims varied in age and circumstance, making the crimes difficult to connect at first. Investigators eventually linked Gillis to multiple murders through forensic evidence, including DNA. After his arrest in April 2004, he confessed not only to the killings police were investigating, but also revealed his involvement in additional murders that had remained unsolved. What emerged was the story of a killer who had operated for years in relative anonymity, even as law enforcement and the public were focused on another serial murderer in the same region. His crimes involved stalking, sexual violence, mutilation, and the disposal of victims’ bodies in isolated locations. Gillis was ultimately convicted of multiple murders and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. He remains incarcerated at the Louisiana State Penitentiary. This is the true crime story of Sean Vincent Gillis—the serial killer sometimes called the Second Baton Rouge Killer, a predator whose decade-long trail of murder unfolded alongside another killing spree and left eight women dead.
