Although Daniel Blank was arrested in Texas, he started his criminal career in Louisiana. Victor Rossi was a native from St. Amant, Louisiana. Blank is sentenced to death by lethal injection for crimes committed in Texas, but has yet to stand trial for the murders of Victor Rossi, Barbara Bourgeois, and Sam and Louella Arcuri in Louisiana.
