Jeffrey Mailhot's house

This is the house where serial killer Jeffrey Mailhot lived.

Mailhot lived at this address in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, until his arrest in July of 2004.

Between 2003 and 2004, he murdered and dismembered three sex workers at 221 Cato Street. He then wrapped their remains in bags and tossed them into dumpsters.

At the time of the murders, there were four apartments in the house. Jeffrey and an elderly lady occupied two of them. The other two lay vacant.

When his neighbor passed away, he was the only tenant left.

According to those who knew him, he was polite, quiet, and generous. In fact, he was so soft-spoken that the police initially had doubts about whether he was capable of being a serial killer.

His killing spree came to an end after a tipster contacted the police and told them that a sex worker called Jocelyn Martel had escaped from a man who offered her money and then attacked her at his apartment.

When investigators contacted Jocelyn, she was able to identify both Mailhot and this house on Cato Street.

During questioning, he quickly folded under pressure and admitted to attacking more than a dozen prostitutes. In most cases, he brought his victims back to his apartment and then choked them from behind.

He picked up his first victim, Audrey Harris, while he was driving home drunk from a local strip club.

Although his original intention was to have sex with her, he ended up choking her from behind until she fell to the floor. After realizing that she was dying, he decided to finish the job by suffocating her with a pillow.

The next morning, he became panicked when he woke up and saw Harris' body lying in his bathtub.

At that point, he wrapped her body in a carpet, loaded it into his vehicle, and then drove around Woonsocket looking for a suitable location to dump it.

However, after driving around for a bit, he eventually decided that it was too risky. As a result, he returned to his apartment with Harris' remains.

After two days of thinking about what to do, he reasoned that the best way to get rid of the body was to dismember it with a hacksaw and then dump it in different dumpsters.

In February of 2006, Jeffrey Mailhot pleaded guilty to three counts of murder and was sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment, plus ten years.

Victims

Between 2003 and 2004, Jeffrey Mailhot murdered Audrey Harris, Christine Dumont and Stacie Goulet.

On February 9th, 2003, he murdered his first victim, Audrey Harris. His second victim, Christine Dumont, disappeared on April 23rd, 2004.

A search of local landfills failed to locate their bodies. Consequently, both Harris and Dumont remain listed as missing persons.

The remains of 25-year-old Stacie Goulet were discovered in a thrash bag at Central Landfill in Johnston. Goulet was reportedly pregnant when she disappeared in July of 2004.
