I saw her story on America's Most Wanted like a mnth ago. I'm glad they got him too. I dont think anything is wrong with her though, I think she was just being super detailed abt the circumstances that led her to getting in that evil mans car. Besides the incident was decades ago so shes probably over all of the crying and drama I'm sure she was feeling around that time. She just seems happy to me

Did the Grim Sleeper kill 180 victims? As alleged serial killer’s trial begins, mystery surrounds his massive stash of photographs showing women asleep, drugged and even dead
PUBLISHED: 07:11 EST, 18 February 2016 | UPDATED: 07:11 EST, 18 February 2016
Sitting in the dock with a formal blue shirt and a pair of reading glasses, Lonnie Franklin Jr watches the big screen as the faces of ten women are shown to the jury.
The 63-year-old former police mechanic from Los Angeles is accused of killing the women over a period between 1985 and 2007, having taken a break between 1988 and 2002. The gap between the murders earned him the moniker 'Grim Sleeper'.
Franklin denies the murders. But when detectives raided his house they found a bizarre collection of more than 1,000 photographs and several hundred hours of video. Police believe as many as 180 of those women have been killed by the Grim Sleeper.
Lonnie Franklin Jr, 63, pictured yesterday on the first day of his trial for the murder of ten women, listened as prosecutors claimed he was the notorious 'Grim Sleeper' killer who stalked South Los Angeles for 22 years
Prosecutor Beth Silverman, pictured, showed the jury photographs of ten women she believes were murdered by Franklin between 1985 and 2007 on the opening day of the trial which is expected to last for four months
Porter Alexander, pictured holding a photograph of his daughter Alicia, who is one of Franklin's alleged victims. Mr Alexander was forced to leave the courtroom when an image of his daughter naked was shown to the jury
Over the next four months, prosecutors will attempt to link Franklin to the first ten killings. The youngest victim was just 15. At the same time, detectives will interrogate cold case files to try and link Franklin to other unsolved cases, some of which date from the 1970s.
Prosecutor Beth Sliverman set the scene. Many of the young women had been shot. Most had been subjected to some form of sexual assault. Their bodies were dumped in alleys, stuffed into garbage bins while some were covered with a mattress.
Franklin, according to prosecutors, was invisible, able to blend in perfectly amid the chaos of a city which was blighted by crack cocaine.
For the families, the graphic details were too much. Photographs of each victim were shown to the court. Groups of family members wept openly. Some had to leave the court.
After 30 years, Franklin appeared in court, almost six years since his arrest in 2010.
Prosecutors claim that all the victims, bar one, had cocaine in their system.
The families claim that the LAPD was not interested in investigating the deaths of young black women, some of whom had turned to prostitution to pay for their addiction.
Franklin was arrested after detectives ran DNA from the crime scenes against a database seeking a partial match with any of the suspect's relatives when they identified Franklin's son Christopher
In the Grim Sleeper's South Los Angeles of the mid 1980s, crack cocaine spread through the community destroying lives. The victims came mostly from poor backgrounds and had a multitude of problems.
Police are undecided over the Grim Sleeper's true record of death. One victim survived an attack in 1988 which some believe scared the killer into taking a break until 2002 when the urge to murder became too strong.
Others say a serial killer will not take a break and there are more victims out there. Women who had disappeared and their bodies never found.
The woman who survived despite being raped and shot told detectives her attacker was a black man in his 20s and between 5'8 and 5'10 tall weighing about 160 pounds.
She described him as 'soft-spoken and articulate'. She said his hair was trimmed and he had a 'pockmarked face'.
Prosecutors projected images for the jury of the ten women who they claim were murdered by Franklin
One team of detectives has been going through cold case files going back to the 1970s to see if any of the unsolved cases match the Grim Sleeper's profile.
Silverman stood before the jury to open the case against Franklin. She spoke about the crack cocaine problem which swept the city and accused Franklin of targeting the women 'willing to sell their bodies and their souls in order to gratify their dependency on this powerful drug'.
She said: 'This was the perfect opportunity for someone who preyed on women.
'Someone who knew the streets and the dark alleys by heart, someone who lived there and was able to blend in, someone who knew where the drug-addicted women and perhaps prostitutes would congregate and who knew how to lure potential victims into the darkness and the isolation of a vehicle through the promise of crack.'
Against this, Franklin's attorney Seymour Amster will attempt to spread doubt among the jury, to convince them that the LAPD have got the wrong man.
Speaking shortly before the trial, Amster said: 'There more to it than people want to believe.'
Soon he will get the opportunity to address the jury with his own opening statement.
Officers raiding Franklin's house after his arrest found pictures of more than 1,000 women and videos
The LAPD has released copies of the photographs in the hope that friends or family can identify the women
It is feared that many of the women on the list may have been murdered by the Grim Sleeper
The photographs were recovered by detectives who raided Franklin's South Los Angeles home, pictured
- Lonnie Frankilin Jr has denied killing 10 females between 1985 and 2007
- Most of the victims were dumped in alleys and garbage bins in LA
- Some of them were found naked and covered with mattresses and trash
- Officers now fear that the Grim Sleeper may have claimed 180 lives

Check HBO GO for the documentary Tales of the Grim Sleeper. IT IS OUTSTANDING! Saw it at the Pan African Film Fest last year where they had a Q and A with the filmmaker, local activists and attorney who forced the LAPD to open the case. This group was unrelenting and put major heat on LAPD and the mayor. After the screening, you come away with the strong idea that LAPD KNEW what was going on and did not care because it was a bunch of low income black women being killed. Lonnie Franklin's own friends seemed to know what he was doing and kept their mouths closed for years and talked about how sloppy he was with what he was doing.

The low value of black women is more disturbing than anything else. And you gotta be from, or familiar with the way the community has been in this case to understand why he was able to get away with it for so long. this is why I don't want another Clinton in office. This is more complex than just a serial killer.

This is the case that makes me a little angry every time. It's not even the killer so much as the police couldn't be bothered to care when the local association provided all kinds of proof. They had the house and info on the suspect for 20 years. But the cops disregarded that info because it came from a prostitute.
It's also the first case I ever heard the police used a term "NPI" (no person involved) for a death involving a prostitute. SMH
The cops had the AUDACITY to step forward and take credit at the press conference though.

this is the first im hearing of this
if a steady stream of white girls had been murdered for over 40 years there would be round the clock nancy grace coverage on this

Yes.
It is about how structural racism operates. As someone that has stayed in a low income area the fact that you can't call for help or protection and law enforcement is a joke.
Just plain scary.
People didn't care. If it was one or two white girls....the military FBI ....
everyone would be involved.....

Racism, poverty, the crack epidemic, fear of police, disregard from the police, mental illness, depression, runaways, unemployment, businesses moving overseas/Mexico, etc...

This makes me sick to the stomach. I agree with the sentiment that if yt women were being killed the case would have been solved sooner. I can't think of a punishment that would be severe enough for this arsehole.

Yeah in some of his later crimes. There was something about him that creeped me out.

I agree, but does the police and killer are only to be blamed? Nobody cared.. It took a group to bring some type of light to the situation. Mothers, daughters, sisters, etc were being abused, tortured, and murdered. This is no different from gangbangers/drug dealers being able to live next door to someone, and just be able to terrorize the neighborhood. People in that neighborhood were so lost, they allowed this creep roam freely! The white man don't give two nickels about us. They will sit back and allow us to destroy ourselves. They see us and treat us like wild animals, and we fall victim to that.
