News Report- Grim Sleeper
In South Los Angeles, California, since 1980 a 14 year boy was suspected of murder. Black women were turning up dead in alleyways in South Los Angeles, California.  The case stopped until May 2007, the murder of Janecia Peters, 25, was linked by DNA analysis to 11 unsolved murders that were linked to the other murders. The attacker was called the Grim Sleeper by the local press, because he  took a 14 year old break from his crimes, from 1988 to 2002. In August 2008, the LA Weekly had an extensive interview with a lady that survived the attacker. She provided several important details, describing him as a “thin, neat, polite and well-groomed African-American guy.”
The killer documented his attack with a Polaroid camera. The female victim blacked out, but was startled awake by the bright flash of the camera. On July 7, 2010, there was a report that an arrest had been made in the Grim Sleeper case. The suspect is Lonnie David Franklin Jr., who is 57 years old. At first, the police had not been able to obtain a DNA match between evidence found at the crime scenes and people in California’s DNA profile database. Officials located similar DNA belonging to Lonnie Franklin’s son, Christopher, who was convicted of a felony weapons charge. Ultimately, the police used a piece of discarded pizza with Lonnie Franklin’s DNA to make the link.
 A federal detective, in order to obtain the evidence, pretended to be a waiter at a restaurant where the suspect ate. The detective collected all the dishes, silverware, glasses, and pizza crusts to obtain DNA. Saliva found on the victim’s breasts was used to obtain a DNA match linking Lonnie Franklin to the murders. With the DNA evidence, the police discovered a large collection of integral evidence against Franklin when searching his home. On December 16, 2010, the Los Angeles Police Department released 180 photos of women found in Franklin’s home. Police released the images after unsuccessful attempts to identify the people, who are possibly additional victims.
Investigators  found over 1,000 photos and several hundred hours of video in Franklin’s home. The images show mainly African American women of a wide age range, from teenagers to middle-aged and older. The pictures were often of the women nude. Police believe Franklin took many of the pictures, which show both conscious and unconscious individuals. The pictures date back up to 30 years. They can not indicate the entire murder count. The photographs suggest that Franklin may have killed hundreds of unidentified women. Currently, Lonnie David Franklin Jr. is charged with 10 homicides and 1 attempted murder. He is being held without bail and could face the death penalty if convicted.
The news story about Franklin- I think he deserves exactly what he is getting. 30 years of killing women, that deserves a death penalty. Depending on how long you've been doing the crime, what crime your doing, that should depend on how severe the consequence should be.
