Between 1985 and 2007, a serial killer LA Weekly dubbed “The Grim Sleeper” has been linked to at least 9 murders, possibly 15, many of the victims were young black woman who were raped and then killed. Officially as of today, the city of LA has collected a pool of $500,000 for information leading to the arrest and convictions of the serial killer.
“This individual committed several homicides from 1985 through 1988, and then there was a 13-year hiatus. What accounted for that gap we still don’t know,” Cremins said.
The Los Angeles Police Department established a cold case unit in 2001 to investigate unsolved homicides.
Five years later, detectives discovered the 11 murders were connected through DNA and ballistics evidence.
Recently one woman survived the attacker and was able to bring new life to the case.
One woman — identified as Victim No. 9 — survived an attack by the Grim Sleeper. The woman was shot in the chest and raped. The bullets removed from her chest matched the gun used on the first eight victims.
Victim No. 9 described the killer as a 30-ish black man with short hair, driving a rust, red or orange Ford Pinto, according to LA Weekly.
If an individual provides information that solves all of the Grim Sleeper crimes, the most that person can collect is $200,000. If multiple people provide information, up to $500,000 is available.
Anyone with information is asked to contact LAPD Robbery-Homicide at (213) 485-2531 or (877) LAWFULL.
