Serial killer on the loose?

The LA Weekly's cover story by Christine Pelisek reports on a possible link between the murders of ten African Americans in the Los Angeles area.

The victims, killed between 1985 and 2003, included seven prostitutes, a pimp, a cocktail waitress and a woman who lived at home with her parents. All but one had been dumped and covered with mattresses, blankets or trash.

The Weekly talks with a suspect known as Super Honky who is in jail in Fresno and denies involvement. Police are waiting on results of DNA tests; results of a first test were lost. There's also a multi-agency team, including the FBI, looking at more possibly linked murders of Los Angeles black women. List of victims and map
