The Grim Sleeper- 11 Black Victims, No Suspect

Go to The Grim Sleeper Killer.com

How long will it take for police to investigate the serial murders of 11+ Black women? Tell me? Is it going to take 10 more years as in the South Side Slayer serial murder? I want to know. Here's an article at BlackVoices on the Grim Sleeper murder:

"'The Grim Sleeper': A Dozen Black Victims, Two Decades, No Suspect
Posted Mar 4th 2009 9:00AM by Denver LouisFiled under: BlackSpin, Crime and Courts, News
The LAPD is staking it's claim as the most inept police department in the country. In nearly two decades, 11 or more people have been murdered by the same man, with the police department nearly powerless to stop it. Recently, an emergency call from 1987 was released in hopes of getting a lead on L.A.'s most notorious serial killer, dubbed the "grim sleeper" for the significant time lapse in between his killings. The killer has been at large since 1985, despite a $500,000 reward and samples of his DNA on file. As far as the police know, all of his victims have been black. So what's taking so long? ...

The biggest lead the police have is a call from a man who says he saw a body being thrown out of a van. Unfortunately, the caller couldn't identify the driver and declined to identify himself.According to the Associated Press...

Six victims were found with the killer's DNA on them but a search of prisoner databases came up blank. Detectives went on to ask the California Department of Justice to run a DNA search that sought possible matches to the killer's relatives.''

Can the police and the community connect the dots sooner on the murders and diligently find the suspect? Had they done their jobs, some of those women would have been alive.

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.

Little girl fighting Leukemia needs help

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.

• On April 15, 1987, Bernita Sparks was shot in the chest, strangled and beaten.

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.

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.

• 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.

"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,"

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.
