Personally, I don't really think his accent sounds like he's from New Orleans. I've always heard that and some claim that it stems from Irish immigrants from a century ago. Some people say that about New Orleans accents. Yeah I was catching a little Trenton NJ in his voice Stern came on 106.5 back then, and obviously he is huge in that area of the country. That guy is from Philly or Jersey, so there is a clue. On August 17, 1999, Russell Ellwood was sentenced to life in prison and hard labor without benefit of parole, probation or suspension of sentence.
WIKI UNSOLVED SERIAL KILLERS TRIAL
Lewis' murder began a series of killings of at least 26 prostitutes spanning from 1991 to 1996 that authorities believe Ellwood is responsible for.Įllwood's trial took place here in Lafayette, and the jury unanimously found him guilty of 2nd degree murder. In 1993 he reportedly began killing "claiming the life of his first confirmed victim, Cheryl Lewis, by drugging her and then drowning her in a canal on February 1-3 of 93" according to. You can read the details Ellwood's trial over at .Įllwood worked for a while as a freelance photographer in New Orleans, and eventually worked as a cab driver.Īccording to Ellwood would lived in his car from time to time when he couldn't afford to live anywhere else.
Ultimately found guilty of the murder of Cheryl Lewis, Ellwood was thought to be responsible for as many as 15 murders in the New Orleans area, and many believe responsible for many more. In 1998, Russell Ellwood stood trial for the 1993 murders of Cheryl Lewis, 30, of Bridge City, and Deloras Mack, 40, of Metairie.
Russell Ellwood is the man many believe to be "Clay the Serial Killer", the man who called The Howard Stern Show in 1997 and confessed to killing 12 women. Was Russell Ellwood "Clay the Serial Killer"? Judging by what I can find, Victor Gant was never charged with any of the murders and not much is known about him today. He reportedly submitted blood and tissue samples for the investigation, but nothing more is really known. In 1995 New Orleans Police Officer Victor Gant was listed as the prime suspect in the murders of his girlfriend Sharon Robinson, a New Orleans casino employee, and her friend Karen Iverster, allegedly a prostitute.Īlthough a suspect, Gant remained at his desk job with the NOPD. In 1991, a serial killer began claiming numerous victims in the Algiers and Treme neighborhoods of New Orleans, eventually credited with 24 murders throughout the 1990s. So, whatever became of "Clay the Serial Killer"? Was the FBI able to get enough information from The Howard Stern Show phone call to make an arrest? Reading comments online and on this video, it looks like I'm not alone. Unfortunately, to me, this call seems like it may actually be real. They say some of the details the caller talked about were things that only the killer would know. Obviously, one of the biggest questions here is.could this actually be real, or is "Clay" playing some sort of very sick joke?Īccording to multiple reports, what grabbed the FBI's attention during the phone call on The Howard Stern Show was that the caller revealed information about his murders that authorities say they never made public. Allegedly the day after this aired, the FBI showed up at Stern's studios and collected the audio as evidence.
