SAN QUENTIN, Calif. — Lonnie Franklin, the convicted serial killer known as the"Grim Sleeper" who preyed on the women of South Los Angeles for more than two decades, has died in prison. He was 67.
Most of the victims were fatally shot at close range, though two were strangled. Their bodies were dumped and left to rot in alleys and trash bins. Franklin was connected to the crimes after a task force that re-examined the old cases discovered that DNA from Franklin’s son, which was in a database because of an arrest, showed similarities to genetic evidence found on some of the “Grim Sleeper” victims.
