Datrell Woods, 19, was found dead in an east-Houma sugar cane field on May 24, 2003. His bicycle was nearby. At first the cause of death was unclear and an asthma attack was considered, but his partially naked and decomposed body suggested a more violent end. His death remained one of several unsolved cases that worried the community.

In December 2006 Ronald Joseph Dominique, later known as The Bayou Strangler, was arrested and confessed to killing Woods, saying he dumped the body in the reed field where it was found. Dominique admitted to killing multiple men over a span from 1997 to 2006, and his confession linked Woods to that pattern of sexual assault and death by asphyxiation.

Does anyone have memories of Datrell, his last movements, or information about the area where his bicycle was found?
