Lonnie Franklin, the serial killer known as the 'Grim Sleeper,' died in his prison cell on Saturday
He was also found guilty of the attempted murder of Enietra Washington, who testified that Franklin shot her, sexually assaulted her and took a Polaroid picture of her before pushing her out of his car in 1988.After Franklin’s arrest, detectives found more than 1,000 photos and videotapes of women and teenage girls in the former sanitation worker’s garage and backyard camper.
However, the killer’s DNA profile was not in CODIS, the national database for DNA. Franklin was finally caught in 2010 through familial DNA testing after his 28-year-old son, Christopher, was arrested for carrying a weapon in the summer of 2009 and had to give up a DNA swab.Once it was determined that Christopher was related to the killer, detectives followed the elder Franklin to a pizza place in Buena Park.
