Lucas says he killed 360 people while drifting across the country between 1975 and 1983, includ ing three unspecified murders in New Orleans and two slayings of elderly women in Jef ferson. Lucas, 48, spent five days in southeast Louisiana and departed Saturday for the Williamson County Jail in Georgetown, Tx. In Jefferson, Sheriff Harry Lee said his office will close the cases of the beating death of Her- mine Duffour of Metairie and the fatal stabbing of Ruth Kaiser of Marrero. Duffour’s bludgeoned body was found on her living room floor, where she had been dragged from her driveway after being attacked with a crowbar. Lucas told officers Duffour surprised him and his itinerant companion, Ottis Toole, as they were stealing her car one October morning in 1982. The former mental patient said he and T oole were fulfilling a pact to kill any one who could identify them. Kaiser, 79, died of multiple stab wounds to the face and abdo men in her ransacked home in May 1981. Police said the New Orleans victims’ names would he withheld until their families had been noti fied and the cases submitted to the district attorney’s office. One involved a New Orleans police officer’s son whose skeletal remains were found in eastern New Orleans near an approach to Interstate 10 in 1980. He was killed the day before he was to leave for military service. The second victim was an un identified transient, whose body was found in an abandoned building near the Central Busi ness District in 1981. Lucas said Toole killed the man, conforming to a pattern the pair had estab lished. That pattern consisted of Lu cas raping and killing women and Toole, an admitted homosexual. raping and killing men. Lite third case involves a woman police have been unable to identify. Her skeletal remains were found near Interstate 10. Lucas told police he picked her up in a French Quarter bar, raped her and dumped her body in eastern New Orleans. During his forays, Lucas kepta low profile, lodging in West Bank flophouses and mission dorms on skid row. Authorities say Lucas and Poole, now sitting on death row in a Florida prison, robbed for a living, of ten killing and sex ually assaulting their victims. Lucas has been sentenced to death and four life terms in Texas and is wanted for question ing in 15 other states. He is charged in more than 20 Texas killings and faces murder charges in Louisiana, Maryland, Florida and Arkansas. The one-eyed drifter spent three days leading police through New Orleans and Jefferson Par ish. spewing tales of 30 unsolved slayings. "It was disquieting to lx? in his pr»»«#»nre." Lee saicT Lucas driven by compulsion United Press International NEW ORLEANS — Convicted mass murderer Henry Lee Lucas, a one-eyed drifter who fatally stabbed his mother when he was a teenager, said his life has been driven by a compulsion to kill and a hatred of people. Lucas, 48, says his legacy of death will exceed 360 victims spanning a 35-year career of cris scrossing the country, living by robbing and often sexually at tacking his victims, ranging from teenagers to elderly women. “If I came into contact with someone, they had to die,” Lucas said Saturday after investigators announced they were closing books on five unsolved killings they were able to link to Lucas. “I just couldn’t leave them alone. “I couldn’t relate to anybody, I couldn’t talk to anybody,” he said. “I had no feelings for anybody.” Lucas insisted his style of kill ing people was not unique, that he knew of others who exist in the same manner. “There are plenty just like I am,” he said. “1 know people doing the exact same thing I did. They just travel all over the United Statesjust like 1 traveled.” Lucas referred briefly to an “organization trained to kill —the Hands of Death — ” hut was cut short by Williamson County Texas Sheriff Jim Boutwell, his escort f rom Texas where he laces one death sentence and four life terms. Boutwell said the group is un der investigation by the FBI and that discussion of it is prohibited. “Like most people hunt rabbits or squirrels, he was hunting peo ple,” Boutwell said. Lucas, his hands cuffed, said he killed also for practical pur poses — to prevent his victims from identifying him. "1 never left a victim behind who could identif y me,” he said. “Ii was a precaution 1 took several years hack. I don’t think there’s a |>olite agency in the country that can trace me f rom one location to another. It was planned that way.” I.ucas has boasted he killed his victims “in every way you can imagine. I choked them, stabbed them, shot them, poisoned them, even cooked some of them and ate them like barbecue.” Lucas said the savagery stopped when he saw a vision in a Montague County jail cell in Texas shortly af ter his arrest on a minor charge in 1983. "It was a religious conversion," he said. "I saw what I believed to lx* Cod appear in a light." He said his confessions fulfill a promise he made at that time. “I hope nobody ever comes up to lx* like me." I.ucas said. Historical sites destroyed by strip mining United Press International NEW YORK — Strip miners have destroyed at least 16,000 historical or archaeological sites over the past four years because the Interior De partment has not enforced a law protecting the sites, NBC news re ported Sunday.
