Grim Sleeper's kill count could be larger

LAPD detectives are re-examining at least 30 unsolved killings of women in South Los Angeles to see if they can link the homicides to Lonnie Franklin Jr., the accused Grim Sleeper serial killer, the L.A. Times reports. “I believe we will find additional victims,” Chief Charlie Beck told the paper. Franklin allegedly killed seven women between 1985 and 1988, when the crimes abruptly stopped. The homicides resumed in 2002, with a killing that year, another in 2003 and a third in 2007, police said. The gap in murders is “one of the troubling aspects of the case," Beck said.
