The Grim Sleeper Killer
Thank you, Ann, for finding more details of the Grim Sleeper Killer. The media and society in general place far less value to Black life. There's a pattern in LAPD which never give priority to solving murders of Black women in LA. Nor do the public give a thought about the murders. What's worse is that some Blacks don't give a thought to the murdered women, shrugged them off as "prostitutes" when many aren't. They are decent everyday people with lives of their own. It's time to end this neglect.

Jasmina was diagnosed with NK cell Leukemia on Jan. 20.
Jasmina Anema turns 6 years old Wednesday, and the birthday party planned for her - with a fashion show, cake and an appearance by singer Kelly Rowland - is a dream come true.
But the celebration could be Jasmina's last.
The bubbly Greenwich Village kindergartner is suffering from a rare and especially fatal form of leukemia that doctors fear will take her life within two months unless she receives a bone-marrow transplant.

Victims of the Grim Sleeper Killer
Here are the victims of the Grim Sleeper Killer (LA NEWS):
• On August 10, 1985, Debra Jackson, 29, a cocktail waitress, left a friend’s home in Lynwood to take a bus back to her apartment in South-Central. Days later, her decomposing body was found in an alley near West Gage Avenue. She had been shot in the chest three times with a small caliber pistol.
• On August 12, 1986, Henrietta Wright, 35, was found dead in an alley south of 2514 West Vernon Avenue. Her mouth had been gagged with a cloth. She had been shot twice in the chest.
• Two days later, Thomas Steele, 36, was discovered dead in the middle of the intersection of 71st Street and Halldale Avenue, with a single gunshot wound in his head. The San Diego native had come up for the day to visit his sister.
• On January 10, 1987, Barbara Ware, 23, was found dead in an alley at 1356 East 56th Street, shot once in the chest. According to the autopsy report, neighbors saw a man remove Ware’s body from a vehicle and hide it in a heap of trash.
• On April 15, 1987, Bernita Sparks was shot in the chest, strangled and beaten. Originally listed as Jane Doe No. 25, she had told her mother that she was going to the store to buy a pack of cigarettes. She was found in a trash bin the next morning, covered with garbage, on the 9400 block of South Western Avenue.
• On October 31, 1987, Mary Lowe, 26, told her mother, Betty, she was going to a Halloween party. “I said she was crazy to go out in the rain like that,” recalls Betty. “She kept on walking.” Lowe was found the next morning, in an alley near bushes behind the 8900 block of Western Avenue. According to Betty Lowe, a neighbor saw Mary Lowe get in a car with a young black man driving a rust or orange Ford Pinto.
• On January 30, 1988, Lachrica Jefferson, 22, died from two gunshot wounds to the chest. She was found in an alley north of 2049 West 102nd Place in Lennox by L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies. A napkin placed over her face had the word “AIDS” written on it.
• On September 11, 1988, Alicia “Monique” Alexander, 18, asked her father if he wanted anything from a liquor store on 68th Street and Normandie Avenue, then she vanished. Her father, Porter Alexander, remembers, “I woke up and asked my wife where she was. She said she hadn’t come back. ... I never saw her again.” Alexander was found dead a few days later, in an alley around 43rd Place and Western Avenue. She had been shot once in the chest and sexually assaulted.
• Just before a 13-year gap in these related cases, in November of 1988, a young black man driving an orange Ford Pinto picked up a young black woman in South Los Angeles, shot her in the chest and raped her. She persuaded her attacker to allow her to escape, and she is the only known eyewitness survivor of the Grim Sleeper. She is not being named by L.A. Weekly.
• On December 21, 2001, Princess Berthomieux, 14, vanished, and was found March 19, 2002, strangled and beaten in an alley behind 8121 South Van Ness Boulevard in Inglewood.
• On July 11, 2003, Valerie McCorvey, 35, was found dead by a crossing guard in an alley west of Denker Avenue between 108th and 109th streets. She had been strangled and sexually assaulted. Police initially suspected her boyfriend, but he was ruled out when DNA found on her body matched DNA found on Berthomieux, killed in 2002, and Mary Lowe, killed in 1987.
• On January 1, 2007, Janecia Peters, 25, was found dead by a homeless man near 9500 Western Avenue. She’d been shot in the back and placed in a garbage bag. Her death barely registered with the local press, which even misreported it, calling it a stabbing.

Grim Sleeper Killer
WHY 20 YEARS? Why wait until now to find a serial killer that is stalking South L.A. Such callous disregard for human life. It's a repeat of the South Side Killer that stalked LA 25 years earlier.
Cops Hunt for 'Grim Sleeper' Serial Killer
By THOMAS WATKINS
LOS ANGELES (Feb. 25) - They have a sample of his DNA, a description from a survivor and a $500,000 reward, but detectives investigating the city's most notorious serial killer have hit a wall.
On Wednesday, they released a recording of a 1987 emergency call in hopes of tracking down the man dubbed the "Grim Sleeper," who has killed at least 11 times in nearly a quarter century.
Skip over this content
"It's a long shot, that's for sure," said Detective Dennis Kilcoyne. "I am hoping a couple people call us. ... Maybe that will lead us to something."
Kilcoyne heads a squad of seven Los Angeles homicide detectives who for nearly two years have been assigned exclusively to the case. The killer most recently struck Jan. 1, 2007, and his first known victim was in 1985.
Police have pored over investigative files from all the killings and are now focusing on the January 1987 slaying of Barbara Ware, a 23-year-old with a history of prostitution who was found shot to death in a South Los Angeles alley.
A man saw a blue-and-white van dump her body. He called police with his account and gave the license plate number of the van. Within about an hour, police had tracked the van to its registered address at a church.

"The engine was still warm to the touch," Kilcoyne said.

Recession? Black women's hair a priority
Recession? What Recession?
It seems that while many black women are cutting back and saving more money the one place where they are drawing the line is when it comes to their hair.
One quote from the story seems to sum things up.
"Every woman wants to be beautiful no matter what color, but Black women have a special pride that includes taking care of their hair,"

Steve Sailer's iSteve Blog: The Old Mulatto Elite
Here he goes again with his race-baiting ways. This time taking aim at Eric Holder and his family.
Does Steve have anything else to do besides daily race-baiting? My wish is for him to find another hobby, maybe hunting or boxing instead. He needs plenty of therapy. Maybe rekindle his relationship with his family by doing things together such as camping, reading, or taking field trips to the museum together. His obsession with race is overkill.

BART shooting did not have to happen
The shooting death of Oscar Grant by BART Officer Johannes Mehserle could have been avoided. It turns out that Johannes Mehserle and others officers beat Kenneth Carrethers a black man just two months prior to Grant's death.
Kenneth Carrethers tried to file a complaint to no avail because the one officer who handles such complaints was on vacation up until the week after Grant's death.You have to wonder whether or not that report had been filed would Mehserle been in position to kill anyone. It seems that police brutality was the norm with BART Officers and what's worse no one at the top seemed to care. Watch video of Kenneth Carrethers tell his story by clicking the link:
