New DNA Evidence Points To Serial Killer Active In LA For Two Decades

LOS ANGELES - SEPTEMBER 4: An alley runs along Western Avenue, an area where an elusive serial killer has been dumping bodies since 1985, September 4, 2008 in the South Los Angeles neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California. Police have linked a lone killer to at least 11 murder victims whose bodies were dumped near Western Avenue, mostly in alleys, over the past 23 years with DNA and ballistics analysis. Detectives are also investigating nearly three dozen additional cases with similarities to these slayings. With the exception of one male victim, the Grim Sleeper, as some reporters are calling the suspect, targets young black women whom he shoots and rapes. One woman, known as Victim Number 9, survived after the suspect shot and then raped her before relenting to her plea to let her fall out of his car. Bullets removed from her chest matched a gun used on eight prior victims. A half-million dollar reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest and conviction.
