'Grim Sleeper....Serial Killer Arrested in LA

Victims

Grim Sleeper
 A man suspected of killing at least 10 people over more than 20 years has been arrested in Los Angeles. Lonnie Franklin Jr, 57, is alleged to be the serial killer called the "Grim Sleeper" by California's media.
Most of the victims were prostitutes in Los Angeles who were sexually assaulted and then shot between 1985 and 2007.The attacker was given his nickname because he apparently stopped killing from 1988 to 2002.
Detectives have spent years investigating the killings.The apparent breakthrough came after Mr Franklin's son - who is currently in prison - was swabbed for DNA using a technique known as a "familial search". The convict's DNA indicated he was a close relative of the serial killer. The prisoner's family tree was then drawn up, with his father eventually emerging as a suspect.


Detectives later swabbed a cup used by Mr Franklin at a restaurant to obtain a DNA profile to compare with DNA evidence found at crime scenes. God Bless science.

    I think it's great...and maybe when you want to write a longer post, we can log off because you have so much to do...Sometime I feel guilty about hogging all your free time..[giggles]

  5. You don't hog my time honey. It's just that after an extra hard and long day, I get tired a little sooner than I used to. I used to be able to stay up all night.I'm getting older.

  6. Two days on the job and you want to quit and he wants to fire you...HA!!!...I love it.

    Just remember, you are the boss at the house and he is the boss at the office. While you are on his turf you should respect what he says.And likewise, he should respect your decisions at home.

  9. Nana bugged the hell out of me today. I think the heat and humidity are making her uncomfortable. I don't know how you guys can take the humidity but it's why you have that peaches and cream complexion.
