1
00:01:45,502 --> 00:01:47,450
DeJemal. Let me inside.
2
00:01:51,304 --> 00:01:53,088
Let me inside.
3
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:00,468
Let me inside.
4
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,291
Morales!
5
00:02:53,127 --> 00:02:58,031
Five deaths in the news today. Please, tell
me you have a sixth, that isn't a news yet.
6
00:02:58,118 --> 00:03:01,069
Please tell me you did not steal
my file on Los Van de Kamp?
7
00:03:01,124 --> 00:03:05,918
Seriously, Morales?
Me? Thief?
8
00:03:05,961 --> 00:03:09,812
I still don't know why this Van de Kamp
murder does it do it for you.
9
00:03:09,855 --> 00:03:13,421
Because the bastard.
10
00:03:16,265 --> 00:03:19,502
Where is diet soda? I thought
Carly stuck this up for you.
11
00:03:19,544 --> 00:03:23,520
We broke up. Hence the
new sleeping quarters.
12
00:03:23,563 --> 00:03:28,112
I'm so sorry. That sucks.
13
00:03:28,155 --> 00:03:30,284
Being dumped is terrible.
14
00:03:30,328 --> 00:03:33,569
I hate to ruin your fine preconception
of me, but I was not the dumpee,
15
00:03:33,627 --> 00:03:36,428
You broke up with Carly?
16
00:03:37,474 --> 00:03:38,772
Why? - Come on,
17
00:03:39,205 --> 00:03:45,066
you're the one that's always telling me
how relationship turns into a trouble.
18
00:03:45,101 --> 00:03:47,798
Morales.
19
00:03:47,841 --> 00:03:51,462
Yeah. I almost
done with the list.
20
00:03:52,371 --> 00:03:55,821
You said 40,
I have 38.
21
00:03:56,276 --> 00:03:58,408
Should I call the Winters?
22
00:03:59,365 --> 00:04:01,560
Yep, tomorrow. No problem.
23
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:06,394
What kind of list?
24
00:04:06,437 --> 00:04:10,555
The kind of list that is
none of your business.
25
00:04:10,907 --> 00:04:13,297
The secret list from
the Coroners office.
26
00:04:13,795 --> 00:04:15,849
Common, 38 what?
Suspicious deaths?
27
00:04:17,479 --> 00:04:21,408
Don't get mad at me because
my reporter instincts are kicking in.
28
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,040
You're not a reporter. You're fact
checker. - You're actually right.
29
00:04:24,090 --> 00:04:28,141
All the more reason for you to just
show the content of this list to me.
30
00:04:35,446 --> 00:04:37,903
OK, fine. There were a couple body
dumps in past few years...
31
00:04:37,946 --> 00:04:42,003
in South Central L. A.
Homicides that not be solved.
32
00:04:42,046 --> 00:04:45,407
And the Coroner's office
would like us to look into it...
33
00:04:45,450 --> 00:04:48,238
and see if we can
find any connections.
34
00:04:48,267 --> 00:04:51,707
Why you and not the LAPD? - Because
they don't play well with others.
35
00:04:53,299 --> 00:04:56,455
Can I see this list of yours?
- No! - OK.
36
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:04,200
So, my source from the Coroner's
Office says... - Who's this?
37
00:05:04,250 --> 00:05:06,311
A deputy medical
examiner. He says...
38
00:05:06,351 --> 00:05:10,552
that they are putting together a list of 38
unsolved murders from south L. A.,
39
00:05:10,602 --> 00:05:14,053
that they want to invest. - And what is so
especially in these murders?
40
00:05:15,053 --> 00:05:17,955
So... they are unsolved.
- So, you have no idea.
41
00:05:18,044 --> 00:05:20,804
I know that bodies are dumped,
and it's the secret list.
42
00:05:20,855 --> 00:05:25,793
Secret? Right. There is no such
thing as a secret murder list.
43
00:05:25,836 --> 00:05:30,673
Anybody can look upon unsolved
cases and put together a list.
44
00:05:30,717 --> 00:05:35,429
He's got a point. If you want to pitch me
a story, this has to be exclusive...
45
00:05:35,472 --> 00:05:38,092
information and have an angle.
- Which she might actually know,
46
00:05:38,159 --> 00:05:42,066
if she studied journalism.
- Do you have some research she can do?
47
00:05:42,111 --> 00:05:45,667
Yes. Why don't you scare me up the minutes
from yesterday's city council meeting.
48
00:05:45,710 --> 00:05:49,361
And while you're at it, please,
some more coffee. In my mug.
49
00:06:01,178 --> 00:06:04,333
Hi, Daddy. Got home
as soon as I could.
50
00:06:09,396 --> 00:06:10,402
Where is she?
51
00:06:14,768 --> 00:06:17,294
I knew Daddy wouldn't stick with me.
52
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,820
He's upset. You were
gone for days.
53
00:06:21,570 --> 00:06:25,922
He doesn't understand why you keep running
off. - He keeps trying make me go to school.
54
00:06:26,271 --> 00:06:27,921
You have to go to school, Zarina.
55
00:06:30,123 --> 00:06:32,622
I hate that uniform, it's stupid.
56
00:06:33,075 --> 00:06:37,096
You have no idea how lucky you are.
57
00:06:37,424 --> 00:06:39,383
You get to go to the "St. Carment".
58
00:06:40,374 --> 00:06:42,875
There's no one there
like me. - I know.
59
00:06:42,975 --> 00:06:46,776
And I know you've been hurting since
mama died. - Your mama, not mine.
60
00:06:46,827 --> 00:06:50,127
But if you keep running off, they
will not let you stay here.
61
00:06:50,177 --> 00:06:54,278
They're gonna put you in another foster
home... - Not if they can't find me.
62
00:06:56,928 --> 00:07:01,830
You don't know what you're saying. You can't
even remember being anywhere but here.
63
00:07:01,881 --> 00:07:03,680
You think I don't remember?
64
00:07:06,231 --> 00:07:07,232
Come here.
65
00:07:17,434 --> 00:07:20,934
I helped mama change your
bandages, when they brought to us.
66
00:07:22,223 --> 00:07:26,226
We had to change them
every day for a week.
67
00:07:27,087 --> 00:07:28,717
And you never cried.
68
00:07:29,967 --> 00:07:34,739
Jus a three-year old little baby,
and you never cried.
69
00:07:36,588 --> 00:07:41,090
Don't you know God saved you from
that hell you were born in to a reason?
70
00:07:41,893 --> 00:07:44,540
Don't you want to find out
what that reason is?
71
00:07:50,592 --> 00:07:55,644
How you can be so ungrateful for
everything this family has done for you,
72
00:07:55,693 --> 00:07:59,594
I don't know. But God
gives, and He can take away.
73
00:07:59,644 --> 00:08:04,835
Just like that. So you best stop taking
what you have here for granted,
74
00:08:04,857 --> 00:08:08,797
before you end up somewhere,
where you get nothing but misery.
75
00:08:09,297 --> 00:08:10,997
Do you understand me, Zarina!?
76
00:09:21,390 --> 00:09:26,017
Harper Wellman, two years ago
off on the Imperial. Is he on the list?
77
00:09:29,417 --> 00:09:34,119
OK. What about Monica Dender?
Last year behind a store on Western.
78
00:09:36,619 --> 00:09:41,670
OK, that is a 'yes'. Three now, 35 to go.
You have terrible poker face, Morales.
79
00:09:43,621 --> 00:09:46,471
Will you keep playing this game,
or you can just give me the list?
80
00:09:46,491 --> 00:09:49,122
You know, I'm gonna figure it
out anyway. I am a researcher.
81
00:09:49,142 --> 00:09:52,824
You think you're gonna
wearing me down? You will not.
82
00:09:53,127 --> 00:09:57,974
Fine. Lavey Jackson. Last year,
Normandy and 71st.
83
00:09:59,824 --> 00:10:00,835
Four down.
84
00:10:02,426 --> 00:10:05,286
For crying out loud,
just take it and go.
85
00:10:06,527 --> 00:10:07,537
Thank you very much.
86
00:10:11,828 --> 00:10:13,929
I got a list!
87
00:10:15,137 --> 00:10:18,130
A list of cases being investigated
by the Coroner's office.
88
00:10:18,179 --> 00:10:20,771
And by the way, I have
a great angle for this.
89
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,131
How bodies, dumped in the alleys in South
L. A. can go days without been discovered.
90
00:10:25,381 --> 00:10:28,402
OK, that's morbidly
interesting angle.
91
00:10:28,883 --> 00:10:32,734
But... - No buts. You told me that you
publish the story, if it was good.
92
00:10:33,714 --> 00:10:37,334
I know, but I just came from
a meeting with Stewart and board.
93
00:10:37,385 --> 00:10:40,036
We lost 20 % of our advertising.
94
00:10:42,885 --> 00:10:45,487
Should I be concerned
I'm going to lose my job?
95
00:10:46,136 --> 00:10:52,106
Yes, you should be. So you should do
the job, that you are hired to do,
96
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:57,519
so I can justify keeping you.
- And if I work on my lunch hour?
97
00:10:59,090 --> 00:11:02,220
What you do on your own
time is your business.
98
00:11:07,832 --> 00:11:10,542
OK. Western and Central.
99
00:11:10,593 --> 00:11:14,542
You sure that's where police said
they found her last time?
100
00:11:14,543 --> 00:11:19,695
No, I'm here. I just hope that I would
find Zarina, so I can bring her home.
101
00:11:21,495 --> 00:11:22,846
I will be careful, Daddy.
102
00:11:24,397 --> 00:11:25,706
It's not that bad here.
103
00:11:27,246 --> 00:11:31,228
Well, OK, you keep on praying,
and I'm gonna keep on looking.
104
00:11:32,049 --> 00:11:34,028
Love you to. Bye.
105
00:11:37,549 --> 00:11:42,101
Excuse me, gentlemen, have
any of you seen this girl?
106
00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:46,552
No. - She's been missing for a while,
and I know she's sometimes in this area.
107
00:11:46,652 --> 00:11:48,802
What about a trash baggage?
You have a brand on that?
108
00:11:50,303 --> 00:11:54,803
Really? Did you know a body found on
Western was in found the same kind of bag?
109
00:11:55,665 --> 00:11:58,104
Yes, the same caliber bullet,
shot in the chest.
110
00:11:59,575 --> 00:12:03,357
No, that's fine, call me back
when you got a chance. Thanks.
111
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,109
Detective Bill Sims, please.
112
00:12:22,791 --> 00:12:25,861
Sims. - Det. Sims,
Christine Pelisek, LA Weekly.
113
00:12:25,882 --> 00:12:28,562
I'm doing research on unsolved murder.
- Who are you? - Christine Pelisek,
114
00:12:28,602 --> 00:12:33,014
LA Weekly. - I never heard of you.
- I haven't heard of you either. Until today.
115
00:12:33,073 --> 00:12:36,655
You're in charge in Monica Dender case,
right? - Why are you looking in that case,
116
00:12:36,661 --> 00:12:38,000
it's a year old?
- I've been looking into...
117
00:12:38,010 --> 00:12:40,426
a bunch of cases. And there are
similarities between the Dender case...
118
00:12:40,445 --> 00:12:44,016
and an unsolved case from two years
ago, Donna Edwards. Have you heard of her?
119
00:12:44,037 --> 00:12:46,162
Where you getting these names? - The
Coroner's Office. - Then you should talk...
120
00:12:46,177 --> 00:12:51,768
to the Coroner. - Right now I'm talking to
you and hoping to get some information.
121
00:12:51,788 --> 00:12:55,239
I don't discuss ongoing investigations
with the press. Have a nice day!
122
00:13:03,471 --> 00:13:06,072
Can you give me Inglewood PD
on the phone? - Shure.
123
00:13:15,275 --> 00:13:20,746
Zarina! Thank God, I've been
looking everywhere for you.
124
00:13:21,895 --> 00:13:23,196
I found you!
125
00:13:24,577 --> 00:13:28,907
What are you doing here? And why are
you wearing your confirmation dress?
126
00:13:29,878 --> 00:13:33,386
You know what, it doesn't even matter. Let's
just get you in the car and get you home.
127
00:13:34,779 --> 00:13:39,130
Zarina! You're coming home with me,
don't even think about arguing!
128
00:13:39,150 --> 00:13:41,381
Daddy is worried sick.
- He ain't my daddy.
129
00:13:43,351 --> 00:13:47,337
Excuse me!? - He ain't my real daddy
and you ain't my real sister.
130
00:13:49,182 --> 00:13:52,954
I'm not your sister? - No, and
you can't tell me what to do.
131
00:13:54,283 --> 00:13:57,315
If I'm not your sister, then
what am I doing out here,
132
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,680
driving around like a crazy person,
looking for your skinny behind?
133
00:14:05,668 --> 00:14:10,839
Fine. If you don't want a sister,
you don't have a sister!
134
00:14:10,888 --> 00:14:14,890
Fine! - You can find
your own way home.
135
00:14:21,791 --> 00:14:25,452
And I won't tell daddy what you said,
because it would break his heart.
136
00:14:38,645 --> 00:14:41,546
You have nice legs.
You want a ride?
137
00:14:42,296 --> 00:14:48,197
I like how you
wear that little skirt.
138
00:14:48,696 --> 00:14:49,696
If you let brother to look at your legs and
forget himself, I'll give you the money.
139
00:14:49,697 --> 00:14:52,574
If you ain't give me money,
you can just let me out.
140
00:14:53,289 --> 00:14:58,241
Now I want to change your mind.
Keep your legs tight together.
141
00:15:03,001 --> 00:15:07,453
I thought you said we were going to a motel.
Why did you turn down up here?
142
00:15:07,472 --> 00:15:10,583
Why do you bitches
always questioning me?
143
00:15:13,204 --> 00:15:14,704
I said look, bitch!
144
00:15:16,225 --> 00:15:19,423
Yes, that's right,
you got a real heart.
145
00:15:49,964 --> 00:15:51,013
Oh, God.
146
00:15:57,515 --> 00:15:59,216
... in a dumpster discovered a body.
147
00:15:59,615 --> 00:16:04,217
Police say a 15-year-old Zarina Jefferson
was a runaway what apparently turned...
148
00:16:04,636 --> 00:16:08,218
in prostitution. She was found naked
inside of a garbage bag, shot in the chest.
149
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:17,421
Hey. - What are you doing here?
150
00:16:17,471 --> 00:16:21,521
You were working last night. Do you know
about a 15-year-old gunshot victim?
151
00:16:21,572 --> 00:16:26,223
A young, black girl. - Zarina Jefferson.
- Tell me everything you know.
152
00:16:27,123 --> 00:16:28,873
Pretty please, just
tell me everything.
153
00:16:31,723 --> 00:16:34,231
Asking nicely, that's
a new tactic for you.
154
00:16:39,775 --> 00:16:45,738
Hi, Debra, it's Christine. I don't think I'm
gonna be able to come in today,
155
00:16:46,928 --> 00:16:48,880
I'm feeling pretty under the weather
today. Thank you, bye.
156
00:16:52,939 --> 00:16:56,230
Ma'am, do you have an appointment?
- Yes, with Detective Sims.
157
00:17:02,232 --> 00:17:06,106
Det. Sims, hello, Christine Pelisek,
LA Weekly. We spoke on the phone.
158
00:17:06,111 --> 00:17:07,121
How did you get back here?
159
00:17:07,130 --> 00:17:10,983
I'm resourceful. - If you wanna talk to me,
you need to call and make appointment.
160
00:17:10,994 --> 00:17:13,465
I did call, and you blew me off.
And now we have another murder,
161
00:17:13,485 --> 00:17:16,135
just like Monica Dender. - I don't
discuss ongoing investigation.
162
00:17:16,164 --> 00:17:19,236
I wonder if you think that could be
a serial killer running around L. A.?
163
00:17:19,256 --> 00:17:21,386
There are a lot of similarities
in these cases.
164
00:17:23,142 --> 00:17:26,428
It's alright, I 'll handle it.
- Oh, you think you gonna 'handle me'?
165
00:17:26,438 --> 00:17:30,439
Let's see how you handle my lawyer,
when I sue you for slandering my sister.
166
00:17:30,489 --> 00:17:33,390
You told the media that she was a
prostitute and she was not such thing!
167
00:17:33,789 --> 00:17:37,440
She was just a kid. - You wanna come to my
office and we will discuss this privately?
168
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,241
Oh, we gonna discuss it.
169
00:17:40,852 --> 00:17:43,782
Get her out of here and don't
let her come back here. - Yes, sir.
170
00:17:50,354 --> 00:17:54,144
First, my condolences
for your loss.
171
00:17:54,165 --> 00:17:57,936
What I want is a damn apology
and official retraction.
172
00:17:58,746 --> 00:18:02,967
What, you think because the girl is black
and in the bad neighborhood, she must...
173
00:18:02,996 --> 00:18:06,248
be turn a tricks? We live in Encino, for
God 's sake! My father is a fashion designer,
174
00:18:06,268 --> 00:18:10,499
my mother was a doctor and Zarina was a
sophomore in a high school, not a prostitute!
175
00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:13,584
Your sister's phone was
found with her body.
176
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,001
And the most frequently called number on
that phone turned up to belong to a man,
177
00:18:18,010 --> 00:18:19,010
who is well known to us as a pimp.
178
00:18:19,011 --> 00:18:23,422
And he confirmed that Zarina has been one
of his girls on and off for weeks now.
179
00:18:35,304 --> 00:18:36,806
Hey, are you Zarina's sister?
180
00:18:42,706 --> 00:18:46,812
She was three, when a
social worker brought her to us.
181
00:18:49,559 --> 00:18:54,310
They said it was the worst case of
abuse, they've ever seen.
182
00:18:57,741 --> 00:19:00,642
She couldn't speak a word,
183
00:19:03,061 --> 00:19:04,612
she could barely walk.
184
00:19:07,853 --> 00:19:12,665
Her real father kept her
tied up from the time she was a baby.
185
00:19:20,766 --> 00:19:22,697
He did awful things to her.
186
00:19:25,218 --> 00:19:28,719
So I don't understand
how she could've been...
187
00:19:32,269 --> 00:19:34,269
Doing what they
say she was doing.
188
00:19:38,771 --> 00:19:40,672
I found her last night.
189
00:19:42,272 --> 00:19:44,343
And I didn't like
what she had to say.
190
00:19:45,273 --> 00:19:46,373
So I left.
191
00:19:50,074 --> 00:19:51,774
I left her...
192
00:19:54,975 --> 00:19:58,326
God, I feel like I'm burning...
193
00:19:59,275 --> 00:20:01,327
Like I'm already in hell.
194
00:20:01,347 --> 00:20:05,858
And I am burning, like my
body is gonna burn up.
195
00:20:07,328 --> 00:20:11,009
I know. - No, you don't know!
196
00:20:11,730 --> 00:20:12,779
You have no idea!
197
00:20:17,681 --> 00:20:19,080
I had a sister.
198
00:20:20,276 --> 00:20:24,832
She was like a sister to me,
she was my best friend.
199
00:20:24,868 --> 00:20:26,251
Her name was Mollie McMann.
200
00:20:26,286 --> 00:20:30,084
You think 'cause you know somebody
that died, you know how I feel?
201
00:20:34,635 --> 00:20:38,506
It was right before college
and we're gonna be roommates.
202
00:20:40,787 --> 00:20:43,437
She wanted to go
to this party,
203
00:20:43,688 --> 00:20:47,438
and I didn't want to go. I wanna go
to the movies with my boyfriend.
204
00:20:50,789 --> 00:20:52,790
I borrowed her
her car and drove her off.
205
00:20:53,489 --> 00:20:55,791
I told her that I
will pick her up at midnight.
206
00:21:04,043 --> 00:21:06,073
I fell asleep at my boyfriend's.
207
00:21:09,295 --> 00:21:15,296
When I didn't pick her up, she took a ride
home with a guy that she met that night.
208
00:21:25,247 --> 00:21:27,849
They found her body in the
woods a week later.
209
00:21:34,099 --> 00:21:35,300
So, you do know.
210
00:21:41,951 --> 00:21:43,473
Does it ever getting any better?
211
00:21:48,004 --> 00:21:49,054
No.
212
00:22:09,309 --> 00:22:11,580
Anything new?
- Not yet.
213
00:22:14,313 --> 00:22:18,061
Let's get the whole thing to the lab.
Give me a rush on DNA and ballistics.
214
00:22:18,511 --> 00:22:20,912
I don't want any more damn reporters
get a step ahead of me.
215
00:22:26,243 --> 00:22:28,964
Anthony, you brushed your teeth
long enough. Time to bed.
216
00:22:36,916 --> 00:22:40,217
You're crazy. If you break that bed, where you
gonna sleep? - Why are you all...
217
00:22:40,232 --> 00:22:43,138
dressed up? - I'm gonna go see
Loretta. - Don't go meet Loretta.
218
00:22:43,518 --> 00:22:45,017
It's okay,
your uncle is here.
219
00:22:45,668 --> 00:22:46,679
Don't go.
220
00:22:47,719 --> 00:22:50,549
Look, I promise you...
- Don't go.
221
00:22:52,660 --> 00:22:54,736
Okay. I won't go.
222
00:23:28,479 --> 00:23:30,778
Miss Pelisek, I hope
you get payed overtime.
223
00:23:31,180 --> 00:23:33,280
I can't believe it. I just found
another murders.
224
00:23:33,295 --> 00:23:37,131
The same details, probably the same guy.
And this one happened in the 90's.
225
00:23:37,431 --> 00:23:39,982
I mean, this guy's been
killing for almost 20 years.
226
00:23:40,302 --> 00:23:42,933
Looks to me
that's 1986.
227
00:23:44,573 --> 00:23:46,934
Oh my gosh, you're right.
228
00:23:48,844 --> 00:23:52,851
I must be wrong. I mean,
this guy can't be going...
229
00:23:52,856 --> 00:23:56,201
on a killing spree for this long and
no one know about him. Right?
230
00:23:59,197 --> 00:24:00,844
A courier from the DNA
lab just drooped this for you.
231
00:24:08,839 --> 00:24:09,849
Sweet Jesus!
232
00:24:10,580 --> 00:24:12,340
Captain is still here?
- Yeah, in her office.
233
00:24:14,841 --> 00:24:18,392
OK, now Tanya Hartnett the 1986.
- You know it's almost midnight, right?
234
00:24:18,402 --> 00:24:22,093
What's the autopsy number? - Do not
touch my computer, I'll have you arrested.
235
00:24:23,463 --> 00:24:27,624
You're so melodramatic when you're tired.
What's the autopsy number?
236
00:24:28,344 --> 00:24:29,354
Pretty please?
237
00:24:36,276 --> 00:24:40,097
You know that I am expecting steak dinner
out of this? - Multiple gunshot wounds,
238
00:24:41,998 --> 00:24:46,849
found on Denker. Isn't
that a block away from Western?
239
00:24:47,056 --> 00:24:49,399
These were all happening
right around Western.
240
00:24:49,850 --> 00:24:54,291
Okay, so what caliber? - You didn't
realized that was me asking you out?
241
00:24:54,301 --> 00:24:57,822
.25 caliber, it's the
same as the others!
242
00:24:58,802 --> 00:25:01,744
OKay, now Margette Lincoln, in 1987.
- Did you not hear what I just said?
243
00:25:02,053 --> 00:25:05,824
Yes, you will get a steak dinner.
Margette Lincoln, 1987.
244
00:25:06,626 --> 00:25:11,101
There's only hospital file.
245
00:25:11,145 --> 00:25:15,696
Shot in the chest,.25 caliber bullet,
246
00:25:15,706 --> 00:25:20,007
lingering in a coma,
not expected to live.
247
00:25:20,024 --> 00:25:21,698
Maybe she pulled through.
248
00:25:25,358 --> 00:25:27,259
You think that he left a surviver?
249
00:25:33,460 --> 00:25:36,521
Like this color. I'm coming back
on Tuesday. The same color. Alright.
250
00:25:39,762 --> 00:25:42,913
Excuse me, Margette Lincoln?
251
00:25:42,963 --> 00:25:45,864
Your son told me
I can find you here.
252
00:25:45,887 --> 00:25:48,424
My son? You've been in my house?
253
00:25:49,179 --> 00:25:53,116
Yes, I could not find your phone
number. I work for the LA Weekly,
254
00:25:53,159 --> 00:25:56,971
I'm doing research for crimes that
happened in the '80s and I came...
255
00:25:57,014 --> 00:26:00,667
across the story of how you were attacked.
- I don't know who you think you are,
256
00:26:00,687 --> 00:26:03,618
but you need to
get off of my business. OK?
257
00:26:05,369 --> 00:26:08,649
Margette, I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to offend you.
258
00:26:09,170 --> 00:26:12,170
I'll kick your ass if I
see you next Tuesday.
259
00:26:14,481 --> 00:26:18,022
I don't think it's me you want to take down,
I think it's the man who assaulted you.
260
00:26:18,322 --> 00:26:21,681
Assault, you make it sound so polite.
He tried to kill me cold!
261
00:26:21,914 --> 00:26:26,224
Can you tell me anything about
him? - I don't give a man two thoughts.
262
00:26:26,844 --> 00:26:32,575
But if our God is good, and I know He is,
then the bastard is burning in hell by now.
263
00:26:32,875 --> 00:26:35,176
I don't think he is in hell.
264
00:26:35,576 --> 00:26:40,027
I think he's still out there and he is still
attacking and killing other women.
265
00:26:46,079 --> 00:26:50,580
I use it as my peaceful spot.
I used to bring my kids up here...
266
00:26:51,230 --> 00:26:54,383
and think about how lucky
I am to have those babies.
267
00:26:54,681 --> 00:26:59,697
It was after I was shot.
Still don't know why I did it.
268
00:26:59,707 --> 00:27:05,435
To honor it, I guess.
- Maybe he finally met his match.
269
00:27:05,884 --> 00:27:09,886
You think you'll see something like
that coming, get a bad vibe.
270
00:27:10,088 --> 00:27:11,815
but I didn't feel
nothing like that.
271
00:27:14,436 --> 00:27:18,487
I was waiting on the bus stop, I was going
to my friend's house to get my hair fix up,
272
00:27:18,587 --> 00:27:21,688
and going to this party.
273
00:27:22,638 --> 00:27:28,389
But I hated the bus.
So that car pools off, orange car,
274
00:27:28,439 --> 00:27:31,090
it looked like a toy car.
275
00:27:35,041 --> 00:27:39,292
There's a nice looking
black man, in his nice black shirt.
276
00:27:40,893 --> 00:27:44,093
He looked like he had just
get off of his nice paying job.
277
00:27:44,894 --> 00:27:49,795
And he said,
"I'll be happy to give you a ride."
278
00:27:51,195 --> 00:27:52,896
Talked very polite.
279
00:27:54,646 --> 00:27:58,047
So I thought, "good,
I don't have to catch the bus. "
280
00:27:59,157 --> 00:28:03,348
He was driving and teasing me about my
shoes, how could I wear my shoes.
281
00:28:03,398 --> 00:28:07,099
Then he talked about he is coming to the
party, and I said "Oh, no, you ain't".
282
00:28:08,751 --> 00:28:13,001
Then he said he gotta stop at
house and take some money.
283
00:28:13,401 --> 00:28:17,401
So he makes the turn, I don't know
the street. He pull off to this house,
284
00:28:17,411 --> 00:28:21,322
and I waited in the car till he gets back.
285
00:28:21,323 --> 00:28:26,904
Later he was talking nasty, driving
and talking all this trash,
286
00:28:26,954 --> 00:28:30,495
and I said
"You best show me some respect".
287
00:28:33,577 --> 00:28:38,497
He said this is how I
respect women and shot me.
288
00:28:39,757 --> 00:28:45,709
I ain't even see no gun, but the bullet
rip right through me and knocked me out.
289
00:28:52,411 --> 00:28:57,812
Then I came to, and he's helping
himself to my body, like he had a right.
290
00:28:59,062 --> 00:29:01,913
A I woke up a little later,
and he was taking my picture.
291
00:29:01,964 --> 00:29:03,463
He took a picture of you?
292
00:29:04,424 --> 00:29:09,665
Some kind of remembrance. Then he pushed me
out of car, drove off, I managed to...
293
00:29:09,675 --> 00:29:14,017
start walking and my friend found
me on the porch half bled to death.
294
00:29:15,816 --> 00:29:19,424
The police start coming around and took
me down on the line-offs,
295
00:29:20,618 --> 00:29:22,978
and then they stopped calling,
I stop looking.
296
00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:28,330
I don't know...
297
00:29:30,770 --> 00:29:32,581
I just
stopped looking.
298
00:29:34,671 --> 00:29:35,682
That's all.
299
00:29:39,372 --> 00:29:42,224
Did they ever tell you if they
thought he shot anyone else?
300
00:29:43,023 --> 00:29:46,394
If they thought he shot the other women,
I think they would mention it to me.
301
00:29:48,995 --> 00:29:50,005
You think so?
302
00:29:54,026 --> 00:29:57,227
Wait till you see what I found.
Seven murders, same killer.
303
00:29:57,237 --> 00:29:59,678
I'm almost positive, same
MO and everything.
304
00:29:59,778 --> 00:30:02,228
Three of them were
happened in the '80s.
305
00:30:02,238 --> 00:30:05,580
That guy has been around a long time.
- I just had to let six people go.
306
00:30:05,629 --> 00:30:10,450
Really good people. I'm feeling
like the worst person in the world.
307
00:30:12,231 --> 00:30:13,242
Okay.
308
00:30:14,931 --> 00:30:17,682
Am I...? - Your position
is still in the budget.
309
00:30:17,692 --> 00:30:23,233
I made the argument that, with fewer
reporters, there's a greater need for...
310
00:30:23,248 --> 00:30:25,142
someone devoted
fact check and research.
311
00:30:31,936 --> 00:30:32,952
Oh, Christ.
312
00:30:34,137 --> 00:30:35,937
You can't
ban me from the parking lot.
313
00:30:36,937 --> 00:30:40,938
I know you try to do your job, but your
showing up here distracts me in doing mine.
314
00:30:40,948 --> 00:30:42,459
So get a rest.
315
00:30:42,815 --> 00:30:46,589
I hope that your job includes
finding man who killed Monica Dender.
316
00:30:47,441 --> 00:30:53,441
And Zarina Jefferson. And Lisa Johnson
in 1985. and Tanya Harkin in 1986.
317
00:30:54,443 --> 00:30:57,342
And also, there's a Margette Lincoln,
who I've actually met with.
318
00:30:58,642 --> 00:31:01,393
I know that there is an
African-American serial killer,
319
00:31:01,413 --> 00:31:03,452
Who's been working South Central
L. A. for the past 20 years,
320
00:31:03,486 --> 00:31:09,445
targeting African-American women.
- Who is giving you this information?
321
00:31:11,096 --> 00:31:14,196
I want a name! - I figured it out.
- You figured it out.
322
00:31:15,247 --> 00:31:16,347
So it's true?
323
00:31:20,348 --> 00:31:23,800
We have DNA confirmation that the man
we knew in the late '80s as...
324
00:31:23,810 --> 00:31:28,002
".25 caliber killer", is going after
girls again. He took a 13 years break,
325
00:31:28,011 --> 00:31:29,049
and now he is back.
326
00:31:29,050 --> 00:31:32,202
Why aren't you warning people,
why aren't you try to make this public?
327
00:31:32,251 --> 00:31:35,753
I don't want this public. Got it?
Don't put that in your little papers.
328
00:31:37,012 --> 00:31:39,113
Why wouldn't you want
people to know?
329
00:31:39,460 --> 00:31:42,353
I'm sure you'd make iz public,
if your victims were white!
330
00:31:42,853 --> 00:31:46,055
Please, get off of your high horse!
331
00:31:46,454 --> 00:31:51,087
This guy targets prostitutes and drug users,
not a kind of women who read newspapers.
332
00:31:51,156 --> 00:31:53,557
And even if they did, do you think
that would keep them off the streets?
333
00:31:55,167 --> 00:32:01,158
No. The only person who's likely to pay
attention is a killer, and I don't want...
334
00:32:01,506 --> 00:32:03,639
him disappearing for another 13 years.
I'd like to catch sick son of a bitch!
335
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:07,260
So what, the woman of
South L. A. are your bait?
336
00:32:09,511 --> 00:32:11,062
I will say this one more time.
337
00:32:11,661 --> 00:32:15,862
I'm not going public with this and I don't
care if you agree with my reasons or not.
338
00:32:26,715 --> 00:32:29,465
I know you don't want me to bringing this
up again, but this time it's not hunch.
339
00:32:30,766 --> 00:32:35,567
I've just had a confirm by an LAPD detective
that they know there's a serial killer...
340
00:32:35,587 --> 00:32:40,058
that's been murdering women in L. A. for
25 years and they plan to tell no-one.
341
00:32:40,470 --> 00:32:45,220
It doesn't seem possible. - I know.
This is outrageous. And I looked it up,
342
00:32:45,234 --> 00:32:51,052
25 years makes him the longest operating
serial killer in Californian history.
343
00:32:51,972 --> 00:32:57,112
Debra, we absolutely have to tell
this story. - Okay, I'll put Bob on it.
344
00:32:57,122 --> 00:33:01,773
Not Bob. I'm the one who's been working
my ass upon this on my own time.
345
00:33:01,783 --> 00:33:04,174
If anyone should write
this story, it's me.
346
00:33:05,275 --> 00:33:10,346
Fine, then. Well, you have your
story. 72 hours in my inbox.
347
00:33:17,978 --> 00:33:23,229
Thank you so much for inviting me over
to your house. - Thank you for coming.
348
00:33:27,260 --> 00:33:29,281
We appreciate it.
- It was a beautiful memorial.
349
00:33:29,682 --> 00:33:30,950
It's good of you to come.
350
00:33:32,981 --> 00:33:36,202
There's something I have to tell you
about the person who killed Zarina.
351
00:34:27,696 --> 00:34:32,946
20 years since my baby was took from me,
and not once they think to tell me about...
352
00:34:32,966 --> 00:34:36,247
that. How can that be?
- I don't understand it, either.
353
00:34:36,368 --> 00:34:41,098
I understand it fine.
Cause we are the wrong color!
354
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,010
Is it true?
355
00:34:50,557 --> 00:34:54,602
Yes. We believe your sister
was the victim of a serial killer.
356
00:34:54,633 --> 00:34:58,654
Why didn't you tell us? Why do
we have to find out from reporter?
357
00:34:58,703 --> 00:35:01,904
You mean Christine Pelisek? She had no
right to do it. She crossed the line.
358
00:35:01,954 --> 00:35:05,305
You mean, she treated me like a human being,
which doesn't seem to occur to you!
359
00:35:05,325 --> 00:35:08,001
Look, I understand... - You don't
understand, or you'd have taken five...
360
00:35:08,011 --> 00:35:09,204
minutes to pick up the phone.
361
00:35:09,205 --> 00:35:13,057
Victims advocate will be happy to answer
your questions and assist you in any ways...
362
00:35:13,067 --> 00:35:17,644
in this difficult time. - I don't wanna ken
speech, I want some respect! - So do I!
363
00:35:20,009 --> 00:35:23,442
You have no idea what we dealing with,
trying to get ahold this thing.
364
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:27,667
I'm trying to put together a task force,
trying to track down 20 years old information,
365
00:35:27,681 --> 00:35:31,517
not to mention the witnesses that are
either dead or scattered across the country.
366
00:35:31,526 --> 00:35:33,031
You're not hearing me.
367
00:35:37,738 --> 00:35:41,715
That's what the victims advocate
is for. To listen to you.
368
00:35:45,345 --> 00:35:49,706
Christine said there were 10 other women
killed by the man that killed Zarina.
369
00:35:50,217 --> 00:35:53,717
Ten! - That were verified by DNA, yes.
370
00:35:54,068 --> 00:35:57,718
And, were their families told that they
lost their daughter to a serial killer?
371
00:35:57,733 --> 00:36:01,018
I don't see why would matter to them
how many women this guy killed?
372
00:36:01,319 --> 00:36:04,869
1, 5, 10? Knowing is not going
to bring their daughters back.
373
00:36:05,523 --> 00:36:07,420
And it's not going
to bring your sister back.
374
00:36:08,021 --> 00:36:10,822
Really, has knowing helped
you? Knowing that...
375
00:36:11,971 --> 00:36:17,803
your sister was prostituting herself and
this guy picked her up helped you? No.
376
00:36:18,023 --> 00:36:21,175
Looks to me, everything you know
is only making this harder on you.
377
00:36:21,525 --> 00:36:23,725
You think she deserved what she got,
is that what you are saying?
378
00:36:23,744 --> 00:36:27,575
No. - You think that all these women
got what they deserved, don't you?
379
00:36:27,595 --> 00:36:31,256
Of course not! - You have no idea how
hard the world has to be to a girl,
380
00:36:31,277 --> 00:36:32,577
to put her out on the street.
381
00:36:32,827 --> 00:36:35,728
You, the white man with a
badge, you don't know...
382
00:36:35,752 --> 00:36:38,900
a damn thing about what
it's like to grow up...
383
00:36:38,901 --> 00:36:41,881
with feet plant into your throat
from the day you were born.
384
00:36:41,887 --> 00:36:44,900
I don't know why God takes
a girl, who's down so low,
385
00:36:44,901 --> 00:36:49,002
and let a monster steal her life, but
I do know that you don't get to say...
386
00:36:49,012 --> 00:36:51,036
that life isn't valuable.
387
00:36:54,332 --> 00:36:56,734
Those girls had lives that matters.
388
00:36:57,533 --> 00:37:01,135
And how they died, matters
to the people who loved them.
389
00:37:01,734 --> 00:37:02,920
Are you hearing me?
390
00:37:05,044 --> 00:37:07,035
These girls were loved!
391
00:37:18,018 --> 00:37:21,010
So, this is the mother of the
victim accusing us of racism.
392
00:37:21,012 --> 00:37:24,440
Captain, I'm little tired
for stories about racists cop.
393
00:37:24,510 --> 00:37:27,490
You know as well as I
do that this department...
394
00:37:27,491 --> 00:37:32,092
has the 'mother' of all race issues today.
- And you know that it cuts both ways.
395
00:37:32,242 --> 00:37:34,662
Their community won't talk
to us about a weather,
396
00:37:34,693 --> 00:37:37,243
and now they're screaming that
we don't talk with them enough?
397
00:37:37,313 --> 00:37:41,295
No matter what we do, we can't
work it out. I'm not like that.
398
00:37:41,334 --> 00:37:43,631
How about you stop complaining and
tell me how you're going to stop...
399
00:37:43,634 --> 00:37:44,634
this bloody reporter?
400
00:37:44,635 --> 00:37:47,895
You spent an hour convincing me and Brad
why we shouldn't go public with this guy.
401
00:37:47,915 --> 00:37:50,556
Maybe you should spend some
time convincing her. - Forget it.
402
00:37:51,697 --> 00:37:56,848
She's just a noise. - You have
luxury of ignoring noise, I don't.
403
00:37:57,649 --> 00:37:59,148
Don't let her get to noisy.
404
00:38:03,650 --> 00:38:04,751
Hey, little man.
405
00:38:05,751 --> 00:38:07,051
Little man!
406
00:38:07,553 --> 00:38:08,652
Anthony!
407
00:38:09,559 --> 00:38:12,722
You know you have a fork in
front of that plate, right? - Yes, sir.
408
00:38:18,054 --> 00:38:19,753
I'm going to hang out
with Loretta tonight.
409
00:38:23,255 --> 00:38:26,276
What? Is it so bad for me if
I go kick with some friends?
410
00:38:26,286 --> 00:38:28,957
Those friends of yours,
they're no kind of friends.
411
00:38:28,976 --> 00:38:32,658
Have not I done everything I was supposed to
lately? I'm clean as clean gets.
412
00:38:32,693 --> 00:38:34,408
Don't I deserve the trust?
413
00:38:37,799 --> 00:38:40,960
I trust you, mama.
- Thank you, baby.
414
00:38:56,913 --> 00:38:57,964
Well?
415
00:39:02,315 --> 00:39:04,416
It's good. Very good.
416
00:39:04,966 --> 00:39:07,035
Very disturbing.
417
00:39:09,574 --> 00:39:13,417
Are you gonna run it?
- I'm gonna put it on the cover.
418
00:39:17,969 --> 00:39:19,074
That's really great.
419
00:39:20,629 --> 00:39:24,840
The LAPD is not gonna be happy.
You're very critical of them.
420
00:39:25,575 --> 00:39:26,673
They deserved it.
421
00:39:27,861 --> 00:39:30,972
Now you have to come up with catchy
name for the killer.
422
00:39:34,473 --> 00:39:37,623
It's okay, I'll be here when
you wake up. I promise.
423
00:39:58,428 --> 00:40:02,885
Why don't we just call him like
the cops called him in the '80s?
424
00:40:02,930 --> 00:40:08,432
".25 caliber killer." - No, it's stale.
It needs to be something original, sharp.
425
00:40:09,082 --> 00:40:10,091
Come on, think.
426
00:40:11,693 --> 00:40:17,683
Most of the bodies were found on the
Western. "The Western Avenue Killer"? - No.
427
00:40:18,619 --> 00:40:22,075
"Western Avenue Slayer"? - No.
428
00:40:26,386 --> 00:40:30,072
Hey, pretty lady, need a ride?
- No, thanks. I'm good.
429
00:40:30,991 --> 00:40:36,139
What is different about this killer?
- He likes to put his bodies in dumpsters.
430
00:40:37,704 --> 00:40:42,640
He took a 13 year break.
- Like Rip Van Winkle?
431
00:40:44,651 --> 00:40:47,392
Rip Van Slayer? - No.
432
00:40:49,742 --> 00:40:53,493
I'll look in the mirror. Surely I must look
like a dog, if you think I'm going to bite.
433
00:40:54,092 --> 00:40:55,894
At least you don't have
tongue hanging out.
434
00:40:58,344 --> 00:41:02,695
So you're not a dog person.
You're cat person?
435
00:41:02,715 --> 00:41:05,695
It's all just fun. Don't need
nobody drive me to no place.
436
00:41:05,746 --> 00:41:09,047
Nine victims. Jesus!
437
00:41:10,346 --> 00:41:12,706
Like the Grim Reaper himself.
438
00:41:13,648 --> 00:41:16,299
Took a long break.
439
00:41:18,599 --> 00:41:20,050
I know how to call him.
440
00:41:21,199 --> 00:41:27,102
Oh, yeah, I'm stoned. I'll give the
you grass. We will be fun.
441
00:41:28,452 --> 00:41:29,462
Are you crazy?
442
00:41:43,112 --> 00:41:44,655
How do you know I don't bite?
443
00:41:45,256 --> 00:41:47,087
I guess I like to live dangerously.
444
00:41:47,807 --> 00:41:49,732
And you don't. - I guess
you don't know.
445
00:41:55,428 --> 00:42:00,110
I guess I won't if you don't get in this
car and try a pipe I got in my pocket.
446
00:42:38,470 --> 00:42:42,556
Sims. - Det. Sims, guess how many
news vans are parked outside my window.
447
00:42:42,571 --> 00:42:45,201
I don't know, I can't see them
out of my bathroom window. - Five.
448
00:42:45,221 --> 00:42:48,872
I said I didn't want any noise. Do you
have any idea how much noise...
449
00:42:48,882 --> 00:42:49,901
five news vans can generate?
450
00:42:49,902 --> 00:42:54,624
What's this about, Captain? - Get a copy of
LA Weekly and get down to my office.
451
00:42:54,634 --> 00:42:55,639
Now.
452
00:42:59,726 --> 00:43:04,026
I've got reporters peeking into windows,
I've got city Council furious because...
453
00:43:04,041 --> 00:43:06,317
they want brief. A Brass upstairs
threaten to replace me.
454
00:43:06,327 --> 00:43:08,597
They won't do that.
- See, Bill, that 's your problem.
455
00:43:08,607 --> 00:43:10,732
You think you know what's
gonna happen, but you don't.
456
00:43:10,828 --> 00:43:13,608
I still say that I was right
to try to keep ".25 Calibre"...
457
00:43:13,627 --> 00:43:16,928
off the radar. - Trying and
doing are two different things.
458
00:43:17,429 --> 00:43:21,180
Not now, Claymar. - It's gonna have to
be now. Looks like we have another victim.
459
00:43:21,330 --> 00:43:24,281
Out of our jurisdiction.
- The Grim Sleeper victim?
460
00:43:24,330 --> 00:43:27,827
I would say 'yes', but Sims gets touchy
when I call him The Grim Sleeper.
461
00:43:29,232 --> 00:43:33,583
If it's true, another victim, and I was
wrong, she could have been warned.
462
00:43:34,034 --> 00:43:37,585
Well, if it is another victim, why don't
we break the news instead of letting...
463
00:43:37,587 --> 00:43:38,602
LA Weekly do it for us?
464
00:44:00,790 --> 00:44:06,782
Morales, there you are! Did you see my story?
You wanna got me promoted to reporter?
465
00:44:09,112 --> 00:44:13,593
Yeah, it was really good. - Thanks,
I could not have done it without you.
466
00:44:16,343 --> 00:44:17,361
What's wrong?
467
00:44:20,359 --> 00:44:24,346
They just brought in a woman, gunshot
victim. She was black.
468
00:44:25,466 --> 00:44:28,637
They found her a half of a mile
from Western, in a trash bag.
469
00:44:34,749 --> 00:44:37,920
We really appreciate you
come in here, Mr. King.
470
00:44:37,922 --> 00:44:40,202
We're very sorry for
the loss of your sister.
471
00:44:43,786 --> 00:44:45,251
She's got a son, man.
472
00:44:47,142 --> 00:44:48,732
How am I suppose to tell him?
473
00:45:11,808 --> 00:45:12,818
You're still here.
474
00:45:14,909 --> 00:45:16,479
I can't get it out of my head.
475
00:45:17,260 --> 00:45:22,321
The look on that man's face.
- Yes, that's the worst part of my job.
476
00:45:26,462 --> 00:45:28,612
I thought that by
writing this article...
477
00:45:30,933 --> 00:45:34,984
That it will make him stop,
that no more women will die.
478
00:45:36,171 --> 00:45:37,915
I don't know what to do now.
479
00:45:39,445 --> 00:45:40,965
You're gonna figure it out.
480
00:45:41,016 --> 00:45:46,066
You 're the most stubborn, pain in the
but buldog reporter I've ever met.
481
00:45:47,717 --> 00:45:50,177
It's the nicest thing
anyone's ever said to me.
482
00:45:51,368 --> 00:45:53,269
You think it was
a compliment.
483
00:45:54,522 --> 00:45:57,470
Come on, I'll buy you lunch.
484
00:45:58,670 --> 00:46:02,171
No, I have to go and track
down Detective Sims.
485
00:46:03,971 --> 00:46:07,922
I appreciate everything
that you've done for me, Jasper.
486
00:46:10,423 --> 00:46:11,823
You're an amazing friend.
487
00:46:14,674 --> 00:46:15,873
A friend, so.
488
00:46:21,376 --> 00:46:22,392
Awesome.
489
00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:39,580
Come here.
490
00:46:51,383 --> 00:46:54,484
We will issue a statement when
DNA results come back.
491
00:46:54,494 --> 00:46:59,755
From initial review, it is possible that
Ebony King was killed by the same person.
492
00:47:00,936 --> 00:47:06,227
We put together a six men task force,
devoted solely to apprehend the person.
493
00:47:07,037 --> 00:47:08,438
The Grim Sleeper task force?
494
00:47:08,458 --> 00:47:12,038
We call it "800 task force".
- Why "800"?
495
00:47:13,889 --> 00:47:17,680
That's... a room number where
we set up in this building.
496
00:47:20,506 --> 00:47:25,622
We'll issue a release at the end of the
day, a list of steps taken thus far,
497
00:47:25,692 --> 00:47:27,728
and the number for
our new tip line.
498
00:47:27,752 --> 00:47:31,302
We want the community to
know how seriously we take...
499
00:47:31,303 --> 00:47:35,700
this threat to the safety of our citizens.
How seriously we've always taken it.
500
00:47:37,803 --> 00:47:42,596
In the meantime, media inquiries can be
direct to me or Det. Claymar here.
501
00:47:43,996 --> 00:47:47,337
In fact, I'll let him
answer your questions.
502
00:47:56,130 --> 00:47:58,301
Is this good for you
and your little ego?
503
00:47:58,350 --> 00:48:01,516
This crap storm that you created?
- My story was not crap, every word...
504
00:48:01,521 --> 00:48:05,202
was true. - Not one thing you said
about this department was accurate.
505
00:48:05,222 --> 00:48:07,892
And how was I suppose to known
that? You refused to talk to me!
506
00:48:07,902 --> 00:48:12,434
Or to anyone. You acted like a murderer
on a loose was your secret to keep,
507
00:48:12,444 --> 00:48:14,504
and now someone else is dead.
508
00:48:14,524 --> 00:48:18,205
Do you see Det. Sims examining the
evidence or going after the killer?
509
00:48:18,255 --> 00:48:20,896
No, he is here, managing
a media crises!
510
00:48:21,456 --> 00:48:23,381
Do not worry, I'm on it.
511
00:48:23,507 --> 00:48:27,507
What is that suppose to mean? Do you
have a lead we don't know about yet?
512
00:48:28,308 --> 00:48:31,458
Are you saying that you would like to
work together on this? - Work on what?!
513
00:48:31,508 --> 00:48:35,950
This is not your story, this
the case! My case!
514
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:42,211
Not deaths of actual people, but the
case! With the little label on it...
515
00:48:42,221 --> 00:48:43,738
that says "Property of Bill Sims".
516
00:48:43,752 --> 00:48:48,402
Have you once reached out
to the families of the victims?
517
00:48:49,513 --> 00:48:53,164
No, you haven't. Do you know how I
know that? Because I've talked to them.
518
00:48:53,614 --> 00:48:55,645
I understand that
this is about people.
519
00:48:56,215 --> 00:49:00,107
So, are we going to work together
to help these people or not?
520
00:49:01,916 --> 00:49:03,921
Get out of my building.
521
00:49:15,227 --> 00:49:16,420
Techs tipped the line yet?
522
00:49:16,435 --> 00:49:20,221
We have to release the number
by 4, If we want a news to make.
523
00:49:26,222 --> 00:49:29,423
I want a list of phone numbers of
the families of the "Sleeper" victims.
524
00:49:30,423 --> 00:49:32,237
I thought you don't wanna call him
The Grim Sleeper.
525
00:49:32,242 --> 00:49:33,504
Just give me the list.
526
00:49:35,426 --> 00:49:38,724
Have you been to your multicultural
sensitivity training this year?
527
00:49:44,527 --> 00:49:46,327
Thanks for coming
with me, Margette.
528
00:49:51,479 --> 00:49:55,109
I was watching the news and
LAPD were talking about catching him.
529
00:49:55,231 --> 00:49:58,530
If they didn't catch him all these
time, I don't expect they will now.
530
00:50:00,892 --> 00:50:05,022
That's the stop, right there, that's
the bus stop where bastard picked me up.
531
00:50:07,673 --> 00:50:10,043
Turn right there.
- Up here?
532
00:50:11,084 --> 00:50:13,125
What you are waiting for?
- I'm turning.
533
00:50:19,036 --> 00:50:22,396
You drive like an old lady.
- And you are bossy like an old lady.
534
00:50:23,737 --> 00:50:27,938
Why do you think that he stopped killing
for 13 years, you think he was in prison?
535
00:50:28,488 --> 00:50:31,744
He was not in prison. You think I
would get into the car with a criminal?
536
00:50:33,039 --> 00:50:36,490
He was a working man, family man.
537
00:50:36,740 --> 00:50:39,641
Maybe that's why he took a break,
he could not get away from the kids.
538
00:50:39,651 --> 00:50:41,270
My stomach is growling.
539
00:50:42,241 --> 00:50:43,367
I need some food.
540
00:50:44,542 --> 00:50:49,624
Some fried cat fish. That'd be good.
- I could go for a salad.
541
00:50:50,751 --> 00:50:54,244
A salad?
- What's wrong with a salad?
542
00:50:54,544 --> 00:50:56,049
You eat like an old lady.
543
00:51:00,446 --> 00:51:02,927
Hello? - Hey, it's Melayna.
544
00:51:03,048 --> 00:51:05,263
Something interesting has come up.
545
00:51:11,751 --> 00:51:14,309
Now I know why you're so
hot to have me come with.
546
00:51:14,349 --> 00:51:16,797
You think 'cause I'm black,
I can protect you...
547
00:51:16,798 --> 00:51:18,867
from whatever this folks
are ready ti dish out.
548
00:51:22,702 --> 00:51:25,953
Alright, here we go.
- Not 'we'. You are the one...
549
00:51:25,955 --> 00:51:29,572
who kept it a secret, you
have to answer them.
550
00:51:30,854 --> 00:51:33,402
I'm not going in there.
- If I remember correctly,
551
00:51:33,403 --> 00:51:34,715
you asked to be
on this task force.
552
00:51:34,716 --> 00:51:39,007
You know why I asked? 'cause I
have nieces live in this city.
553
00:51:39,052 --> 00:51:44,350
And two of them live close to
Western. You're on your own, man.
554
00:52:05,962 --> 00:52:09,823
I'd wish you come. You have a lot
in common with those families.
555
00:52:10,865 --> 00:52:16,769
They haven't been raped by nobody. I
I belong with those he killed.
556
00:52:17,765 --> 00:52:20,916
Maybe we'll have us a
meeting one day.
557
00:52:33,969 --> 00:52:35,560
Thank you for coming, Detective.
558
00:52:36,970 --> 00:52:38,077
Please, have a seat.
559
00:52:48,173 --> 00:52:51,574
This is the Inquisition?
- You already know hoe I feel.
560
00:52:52,274 --> 00:52:56,776
But these other families have some opinions
they'd like to express as well. Have a seat.
561
00:53:00,327 --> 00:53:01,973
I didn't think he'd show.
562
00:53:01,982 --> 00:53:05,697
I'm surprised he had a nerve to
show after the way he done us.
563
00:53:10,579 --> 00:53:14,281
No, this meeting is
for the victims' families only.
564
00:53:14,330 --> 00:53:16,751
Without press. You have to
leave. - I invited her here.
565
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,912
Well, you're not the only one here. I'm sure
this other families don't want a reporter...
566
00:53:21,932 --> 00:53:26,213
We are happy for her to stay. - At least
we know we can trust her to be straight.
567
00:53:31,185 --> 00:53:35,685
We don't need to be treated like
children, we got our own minds, you know?
568
00:53:36,386 --> 00:53:40,806
That's right! - We have the right to know
why you've kept this secret for so long!
569
00:54:00,991 --> 00:54:04,028
You were listening?
- I'll buy you a beer.
570
00:54:05,292 --> 00:54:06,944
You sure can take a beating.
571
00:54:07,393 --> 00:54:11,145
Two hours you let them yell
at you. - It was eye-opening.
572
00:54:12,255 --> 00:54:14,996
They have any right to be
frustrated. - Yes, they do.
573
00:54:15,996 --> 00:54:19,786
Thank you for reminding them that
I had nothing to do with the way...
574
00:54:19,802 --> 00:54:21,752
how department ran things back in the '80s.
575
00:54:21,767 --> 00:54:24,134
Is it true that the city
council voted and they...
576
00:54:24,135 --> 00:54:26,147
are gonna offer a reward
and put the billboards?
577
00:54:26,148 --> 00:54:28,229
They had emergency
meeting this morning.
578
00:54:29,590 --> 00:54:32,700
So, my article did some good then.
579
00:54:34,601 --> 00:54:37,252
I like that you said
you want to work with them.
580
00:54:37,301 --> 00:54:39,021
It is important for them to
be a part of this.
581
00:54:39,031 --> 00:54:41,761
Maybe all this 'hand holding'
makes you feel...
582
00:54:41,762 --> 00:54:44,501
warm and fuzzy, but it
complicates it for me.
583
00:54:44,502 --> 00:54:48,104
Finding the killer, that's the most important
thing. - Then we're all on the same side.
584
00:54:53,285 --> 00:54:56,165
Not the most likable man I met.
585
00:54:56,905 --> 00:55:00,106
I don't know, he's growing on
me. I think he's trying his best.
586
00:55:00,357 --> 00:55:01,957
I won't hold my breath.
587
00:55:02,007 --> 00:55:06,279
If there is a connection between the victims,
I'll coordinate us all to comparing notes.
588
00:55:34,770 --> 00:55:37,117
You have any new angle,
cover potential?
589
00:55:37,132 --> 00:55:41,067
Maybe. The City Council is about to offer
the biggest reward in L. A. history...
590
00:55:41,077 --> 00:55:44,177
for info on the "Sleeper".
591
00:55:44,187 --> 00:55:49,090
There's gonna be... six billboards...
592
00:55:57,831 --> 00:56:00,587
"You should have stayed
out of it, bitch". Lovely.
593
00:56:01,826 --> 00:56:02,922
Where was sent from?
594
00:56:05,723 --> 00:56:08,244
He sent a picture of his jiggly-wiggly, too.
595
00:56:08,254 --> 00:56:09,824
Somebody call the police!
596
00:56:15,835 --> 00:56:19,446
Do you think that's the "Sleeper"? - I'll
test for fingerprints and DNA, we'll see.
597
00:56:21,077 --> 00:56:25,789
Do you have security here? - Just Kevin
in the lobby and parking attendant.
598
00:56:26,028 --> 00:56:28,032
I'll talk with him.
599
00:56:28,329 --> 00:56:32,129
I'm not worried about him showing up here,
but more showing up in her apartment.
600
00:56:32,229 --> 00:56:34,130
I'm not listed,
he won't find me.
601
00:56:34,330 --> 00:56:37,031
Still, can you provide her
some protection?
602
00:56:37,082 --> 00:56:39,831
Not unless we confirm that
is actual killer.
603
00:56:39,981 --> 00:56:42,902
But you might wanna stay close to
home, when you're not working.
604
00:56:42,912 --> 00:56:44,834
As in, stay away of South L. A.
605
00:56:46,234 --> 00:56:50,534
You would love it, wouldn't you?
For me stay away from your case.
606
00:56:50,544 --> 00:56:53,035
What are my chances of that?
607
00:56:58,036 --> 00:57:03,288
If this is Margette Lincoln's description
back in '87., we got to age it up...
608
00:57:03,845 --> 00:57:05,238
before we release it. Can
you find who can do that?
609
00:57:06,939 --> 00:57:09,840
Have you finished cross referencing
those penal registration with names of...
610
00:57:09,850 --> 00:57:12,185
every black male, who ended up in
the prison system in the late '80s?
611
00:57:12,205 --> 00:57:14,601
I'm working on a list of something
that is a waste of time.
612
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,086
No, that 13 year gap is key.
613
00:57:17,342 --> 00:57:21,657
I mean the Pinto. Witnesses saw
something in shapes of all kinds of cars.
614
00:57:21,667 --> 00:57:24,397
Green Sedan, Plymouth, ten Datsun.
615
00:57:24,402 --> 00:57:27,357
Yes, and three said orange Pinto.
Stay with the Pinto.
616
00:57:27,358 --> 00:57:33,026
Bill, I'm not done here. Why would he
drive his own car to do his dirty work?
617
00:57:33,046 --> 00:57:35,565
Smart killer, the kind that doesn't
get caught for decades,
618
00:57:35,575 --> 00:57:38,062
is not going take targets
in his own car.
619
00:57:39,746 --> 00:57:42,287
When you finish working this
list, put together another.
620
00:57:42,847 --> 00:57:46,199
Of all black male, accused
of grand theft auto.
621
00:57:46,228 --> 00:57:47,348
Now you see the light.
622
00:57:50,249 --> 00:57:52,710
We got the results back.
I can't tell you is...
623
00:57:52,712 --> 00:57:54,850
the threat you got in
mail from him or not.
624
00:57:54,851 --> 00:57:59,571
There is no DNA, no prints.
- Just another random nut job.
625
00:58:01,352 --> 00:58:04,303
Every rock I turn over
has got a sicko under.
626
00:58:04,313 --> 00:58:05,824
Just not the sicko I'm looking for.
627
00:58:08,085 --> 00:58:09,803
I can not find one clear evidence.
628
00:58:10,952 --> 00:58:14,105
Maybe these billboards will
help with some new leads.
629
00:58:14,106 --> 00:58:17,507
Listen everyone!
It's on now!
630
00:58:17,606 --> 00:58:19,745
... in the case of The Grim Sleeper.
Mr. councilman.
631
00:58:19,758 --> 00:58:24,429
Today in South Central we're
putting a billboard announcing the reward.
632
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,361
Victims photos are on display.
- Why is the billboard there?
633
00:58:38,562 --> 00:58:42,172
Most of the murders happened in
South Central. We need more witnesses.
634
00:58:42,208 --> 00:58:45,784
This shows that the city will do
what ever it takes, to get this guy.
635
00:58:50,171 --> 00:58:54,415
You do care.
- That's your imagination.
636
00:58:57,865 --> 00:58:59,468
This is great.
637
00:59:00,568 --> 00:59:02,218
This is really something.
638
00:59:03,018 --> 00:59:05,969
James and I agree,
we need to do more.
639
00:59:06,100 --> 00:59:08,970
Yes, we would like to
pass on some flyers.
640
00:59:09,269 --> 00:59:14,120
I can design the flyers, but we have to
figure out how to pay for zillion copies.
641
00:59:14,171 --> 00:59:17,321
Det. Sims will let you use
his coper in the office.
642
00:59:20,322 --> 00:59:21,643
That grunt means 'yes'.
643
00:59:23,123 --> 00:59:24,134
Thank you.
644
00:59:27,274 --> 00:59:30,495
We looked and didn't find any
connection between the girls.
645
00:59:30,975 --> 00:59:35,025
It wasn't likely. Those first murders
happened before your sister was even born.
646
00:59:36,376 --> 00:59:39,857
Why is he babysitting us? Does
he afraid we'll break this machine?
647
00:59:40,178 --> 00:59:44,089
No, he thinks that Pelisek would sniff
around and put her nose...
648
00:59:44,528 --> 00:59:47,370
where it doesn't belong.
- Det. Sims, I'm offended.
649
00:59:48,887 --> 00:59:51,311
Bill, wanna come and listening something?
650
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:56,888
Maybe something came out. Maybe
those billboards are working.
651
00:59:58,121 --> 01:00:02,772
... and so I walked on Western,
652
01:00:03,364 --> 01:00:07,385
and a car approached and
the guy offered me a ride.
653
01:00:07,884 --> 01:00:11,386
offered me the weed. But I saw
those boards, and I thought it might be...
654
01:00:11,486 --> 01:00:15,157
"The Grim Sleeper". When I came
home, I tell my friend, and she says:
655
01:00:15,166 --> 01:00:18,437
guy in a red car tried to
pick her up two months ago,
656
01:00:18,466 --> 01:00:22,187
and now I'm telling you about that.
657
01:00:22,667 --> 01:00:27,290
No name, no phone number? - Maybe
it's time to set a decoy out there.
658
01:00:31,690 --> 01:00:35,872
Get back in the copy room, Pelisek. - What's
going on, did some promising tip come in?
659
01:00:36,242 --> 01:00:38,471
If you have to throw you
out of the building again, I will.
660
01:00:38,487 --> 01:00:39,842
I thought we're working
together on this.
661
01:00:40,493 --> 01:00:44,074
Fine, I've got my own investigation going on.
And I don't have to tell you anything, either.
662
01:00:48,895 --> 01:00:51,896
You said he took your picture. Do you
know what kind of camera he had?
663
01:00:52,296 --> 01:00:56,446
One of those that
spits out picture.
664
01:00:58,356 --> 01:01:02,148
I still remember this
sound... and then the picture comes out.
665
01:01:02,568 --> 01:01:04,049
Polaroid!
- Yes.
666
01:01:06,098 --> 01:01:08,150
What if he still uses
that kind of camera?
667
01:01:09,100 --> 01:01:11,780
We should check the neighborhood
for camera shops and ask them.
668
01:01:11,801 --> 01:01:14,201
You think they got camera
shops in this neighborhood?
669
01:01:15,102 --> 01:01:16,302
Wait, turn right there.
670
01:01:20,152 --> 01:01:22,703
Here we are, back on Western.
671
01:01:24,083 --> 01:01:27,405
This looks so familiar. - Because
we've been up and down six times.
672
01:01:28,004 --> 01:01:30,806
I don't want to waste you any more precious
time. Take me home. - No, it's fine,
673
01:01:30,816 --> 01:01:33,405
I'm just saying that we need to
try... - Turn right there!
674
01:01:34,306 --> 01:01:36,606
Don't pass it.
- Didn't, we got it.
675
01:01:41,408 --> 01:01:43,088
My God, this is the street.
676
01:01:45,309 --> 01:01:46,413
That's it.
677
01:01:47,909 --> 01:01:51,511
This is the street. Keep going.
- I know this street.
678
01:01:52,861 --> 01:01:55,011
This is Rona Willisons street.
679
01:02:00,113 --> 01:02:01,220
Stop.
680
01:02:05,914 --> 01:02:07,164
That's the house!
681
01:02:10,082 --> 01:02:13,344
He pull up in front of that
house and then he told me...
682
01:02:13,345 --> 01:02:16,967
he'll be right back and
he got out of the car.
683
01:02:16,968 --> 01:02:21,018
One of the victims lived in this street.
It can not be a coincidence, right?
684
01:02:23,019 --> 01:02:27,470
It is not a coincidence. - The killer
can be in the house right now.
685
01:02:32,021 --> 01:02:33,421
Margette, stop! No!
686
01:02:34,572 --> 01:02:39,122
Let me go!
- We'll call the police!
687
01:02:40,423 --> 01:02:42,930
I'm calling right now.
688
01:02:48,774 --> 01:02:52,934
They are here. - You should have let me get
my hands on him. You think they'll let me?
689
01:02:57,185 --> 01:02:59,933
That's the house. There lives
the man who shot me.
690
01:03:00,137 --> 01:03:03,128
Go get him right now.
- All right, let's come down.
691
01:03:03,529 --> 01:03:06,779
Margette, is it? I'm Detective Sims.
692
01:03:06,830 --> 01:03:10,381
I don't care what your name is. You got
your badge, go get him right now.
693
01:03:10,933 --> 01:03:13,031
We think that The Grim Sleeper
could be in that house right now.
694
01:03:13,131 --> 01:03:17,933
I'm sorry, he's not. The man who lived
in that house when you were attacked,
695
01:03:17,943 --> 01:03:23,434
died 15 years ago. - It can't be
coincidence that one of his victims...
696
01:03:23,449 --> 01:03:27,785
lived right there. And Margette saw
him going inside that house that night.
697
01:03:28,134 --> 01:03:33,487
I'm sure the attacker knew the guy who lived
in that house. - Back in '87. we conducted...
698
01:03:33,496 --> 01:03:37,402
a stakeout on that house and entire block.
- I did not know where he live back then.
699
01:03:37,537 --> 01:03:41,818
No, but you describe an orange Pinto,
and a car like that was seen parked here.
700
01:03:41,947 --> 01:03:46,690
And one victim lived down the street.
- An old drug addict named Omar...
701
01:03:46,739 --> 01:03:50,141
lived there. We tapped his house
for months. And nothing.
702
01:03:52,441 --> 01:03:55,881
No orange Pinto has ever seen, no
other evidence pointed to him.
703
01:03:55,892 --> 01:03:57,322
Have you asked him about the car?
704
01:03:57,443 --> 01:04:00,442
According to the case files,
they questioned him repeatedly.
705
01:04:00,543 --> 01:04:03,494
They did him updown, sideways,
didn't know anything about it.
706
01:04:05,444 --> 01:04:08,505
Now, that this house is officially
connected to your attacker,
707
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:12,496
we can go back, start asking questions,
maybe there's a trail that leads to Omar.
708
01:04:12,506 --> 01:04:16,267
You just said he was dead. - We will try to
locate people who were here when he was alive.
709
01:04:17,046 --> 01:04:19,952
It's too late!
It's 20 years too damn late!
710
01:04:23,549 --> 01:04:26,750
Margette, where are you going?
- I'm going to catch the damn bus!
711
01:04:28,250 --> 01:04:33,452
I don't remember no orange Pinto been parked
on the street. - It was a long time ago.
712
01:04:33,651 --> 01:04:39,253
Yes. But what I want to know is why
they didn't tell me about this stakeout?
713
01:04:40,103 --> 01:04:44,654
It was my daughter killed and I had right
to know what was happening under my nose.
714
01:04:45,455 --> 01:04:48,444
Look at that, flat tire.
You parked on a nail.
715
01:04:48,455 --> 01:04:52,656
That's is Lonnie. He always helps
folks who get car troubles.
716
01:04:53,157 --> 01:04:54,503
Lonnie, come on overhere!
717
01:04:54,513 --> 01:04:59,503
What do you know, Lonnie Franklin.
My Goodness, haven't seen you for ages!
718
01:04:59,657 --> 01:05:01,965
I am gonna check on Margette,
see if she is okay.
719
01:05:02,459 --> 01:05:05,560
It's all she had. I didn't
like bursting the bubble.
720
01:05:05,575 --> 01:05:07,575
Just my bubbles you like
to burst, right?
721
01:05:08,375 --> 01:05:13,062
Sorry. I'm just frustrated,
everything feels like a dead end.
722
01:05:13,762 --> 01:05:14,792
That does leave a bruise.
723
01:05:15,762 --> 01:05:17,362
But you got to keep trying.
724
01:05:17,967 --> 01:05:20,463
I'd like to think that if we missed
something, you might catch it.
725
01:05:21,164 --> 01:05:23,904
Oh Lord, did I just
say it out loud? - You did.
726
01:05:25,515 --> 01:05:27,995
This guy used to be a
mechanic for the LAPD.
727
01:05:28,495 --> 01:05:32,186
Sims.
- Lonnie Franklin Jr.
728
01:05:38,698 --> 01:05:43,619
Look at her. The captain
shouldn't choose her.
729
01:05:44,519 --> 01:05:49,770
What? Guy likes pretty girls.
For example, that Nadine.
730
01:05:52,171 --> 01:05:57,063
The girl is hot! I mean, if this
does not work, we don't have a plan 'B'.
731
01:05:57,473 --> 01:06:00,424
It's not about looks,
it's about vulnerability.
732
01:06:04,425 --> 01:06:08,981
Look at her. She is vulnerable.
733
01:06:10,556 --> 01:06:14,377
Yeah, sure... vulnerability.
734
01:06:16,177 --> 01:06:18,778
I'm shopping for coverage.
What's going on with the "Sleeper"?
735
01:06:19,278 --> 01:06:21,527
The victims families are
having public awareness...
736
01:06:21,528 --> 01:06:23,578
campaign and they're
passing out flyers.
737
01:06:23,579 --> 01:06:28,331
That's not a cover! Not even page 20.
- They're having a press conference.
738
01:06:28,351 --> 01:06:31,760
Talking about the cover? What
about my story with the mayor...
739
01:06:31,771 --> 01:06:36,333
and his battle with the school board? - I'm
pretty sure that article about raising...
740
01:06:36,343 --> 01:06:38,623
awareness of The Grim Sleeper is
more important than a story of the mayor.
741
01:06:38,633 --> 01:06:41,234
I don't need a lecture from you on
what is important. - Kids!
742
01:06:41,564 --> 01:06:43,584
Bob, show me the article
about your story.
743
01:06:47,535 --> 01:06:49,285
I can get you a "Sleeper" cover!
744
01:07:14,792 --> 01:07:16,513
Are you there, Margette?
- Who is this?
745
01:07:16,743 --> 01:07:18,363
I want to write a story on you.
746
01:07:18,997 --> 01:07:22,464
About all you've been through
and how you've bounced back.
747
01:07:23,593 --> 01:07:27,244
I'm not for any of this anymore.
748
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:31,625
That doesn't sound like you.
749
01:07:35,998 --> 01:07:39,278
I have nightmares about
how he will come and find me.
750
01:07:40,049 --> 01:07:43,479
He is not gonna find you.
We are gonna find him.
751
01:07:44,100 --> 01:07:49,351
You can't give up hope, Margette.
- Maybe I have to just be me again.
752
01:08:30,911 --> 01:08:33,912
Thank you for letting me stay. Are
you sure your dad doesn't mind?
753
01:08:33,922 --> 01:08:36,363
Yeah, he is staying with his sister.
He won't be back till Monday.
754
01:08:37,463 --> 01:08:42,664
I did not know where else to go.
I have not a lot friends in L. A.
755
01:08:44,815 --> 01:08:48,466
because I just moved
here and I work a lot.
756
01:08:48,516 --> 01:08:52,817
So, no friends.
Yet. - And no man?
757
01:08:54,517 --> 01:08:59,433
I don't really do romance. - You mean,
you don't think you deserve romance.
758
01:09:00,019 --> 01:09:01,679
'Cause of that friend of yours?
759
01:09:02,027 --> 01:09:05,790
What is this article,
catching up on DNA facts?
760
01:09:06,220 --> 01:09:10,071
Christine, you deserve to
have love in your life.
761
01:09:13,462 --> 01:09:16,163
What is a "familial DNA "?
I have not heard of it.
762
01:09:16,173 --> 01:09:20,384
Something they started doing in England.
Looking for partially DNA matches...
763
01:09:20,394 --> 01:09:23,524
with family members, if they
can't find complete match.
764
01:09:24,074 --> 01:09:29,246
You're saying that if The Grim Sleeper
had a sibling or child in a DNA data bank,
765
01:09:29,256 --> 01:09:33,497
they could at least match it to the family.
- I was gonna mention that to det. Sims,
766
01:09:33,507 --> 01:09:36,858
but it is not legal in the U. S.
767
01:09:37,728 --> 01:09:39,129
Maybe not yet.
768
01:09:51,232 --> 01:09:53,052
Claymar. Red car.
769
01:09:56,033 --> 01:10:00,664
It is him, a red car. - Doesn't look red
to me, more maroon.
770
01:10:02,135 --> 01:10:05,775
It's pretty red.
Red car, take him down!
771
01:10:06,334 --> 01:10:07,506
Don't think you're rushing?
772
01:10:08,036 --> 01:10:10,286
And you don't think
you need to prepare a firearm?
773
01:10:17,245 --> 01:10:19,789
LAPD! Let me see your hands!
774
01:10:21,539 --> 01:10:23,940
LAPD! Get your hands up!
Let me see your hands!
775
01:10:27,961 --> 01:10:29,242
You're white!
776
01:10:38,049 --> 01:10:41,244
We need to talk. - Now is not the good
time. The Captain is waiting for me.
777
01:10:42,046 --> 01:10:44,293
Just a minute. It's
about DNA. I know you've...
778
01:10:44,294 --> 01:10:46,254
been checking exact matches
in the prison system.
779
01:10:46,255 --> 01:10:49,196
What about family members DNA?
- I barked up that tree dozen times.
780
01:10:49,246 --> 01:10:50,590
The prosecutor does not want to hear.
781
01:10:50,603 --> 01:10:54,427
Familial DNA is not an option
open to law enforcement.
782
01:10:54,428 --> 01:10:58,538
Not yet, but if you work for it,
really actually fight for it...
783
01:10:58,779 --> 01:11:03,080
My only fight today is the one I'm
about to have with chief Braden.
784
01:11:03,102 --> 01:11:06,701
They're talking about shutting down
the task force. - What? But why?
785
01:11:06,851 --> 01:11:09,166
Because after months of work
and thousands of men hours,
786
01:11:09,168 --> 01:11:11,481
we don't have a single solid suspect.
787
01:11:11,482 --> 01:11:13,653
Not even close.
- I know, but...
788
01:11:13,658 --> 01:11:16,952
And because The Grim Sleeper
is becoming old news.
789
01:11:16,953 --> 01:11:21,104
Come on, hell it is!
- Their words, not mine.
790
01:11:24,205 --> 01:11:27,176
They will shut down this task
force over my dead body.
791
01:11:29,276 --> 01:11:35,268
We want action!
We will not give up!
792
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:47,001
Here's my ride.
I have to go. - Thanks Rona.
793
01:12:07,066 --> 01:12:11,187
Detective Sims. - You hope to achieve
something, scolding with your own sign?
794
01:12:11,217 --> 01:12:15,068
I knew that you'd be ready to
scold me, because I wrote the truth.
795
01:12:15,268 --> 01:12:17,728
Actually I'm calling to
thank you. They can't...
796
01:12:17,729 --> 01:12:19,518
pull the plug on the
task force while you...
797
01:12:19,519 --> 01:12:23,780
keep the case under the public eye.
- The irony of you saying that to me!
798
01:12:24,070 --> 01:12:26,546
Sorry, I did not hear you.
Must be bad connection.
799
01:12:26,921 --> 01:12:28,197
Just tell them you
still pushing for the...
800
01:12:28,198 --> 01:12:31,661
familial DNA match in
the prison population.
801
01:12:31,662 --> 01:12:35,048
Of course I'm pushing. But, they
keep telling me same thing,
802
01:12:35,083 --> 01:12:35,657
violation of privacy laws.
803
01:12:35,658 --> 01:12:38,674
They need to re-wright case just
to consider prosecuting.
804
01:12:38,684 --> 01:12:39,914
I guess that's my new article.
805
01:12:39,924 --> 01:12:43,475
The attorney general isn't using all
that is on disposal to catch...
806
01:12:43,485 --> 01:12:49,476
The Grim Sleeper. - You pissed
everybody in L. A., you might as well...
807
01:12:49,486 --> 01:12:52,579
go for the whole state.
- Might as well. - See you, Pelisek.
808
01:12:56,083 --> 01:12:59,594
I have to go see the chief. You and
Claymar be in my office when I get back.
809
01:13:10,082 --> 01:13:12,532
Your dad said
I'd find you here.
810
01:13:14,984 --> 01:13:17,714
He also said that it
was Zarina's birthday today.
811
01:13:18,734 --> 01:13:20,584
She would've been 16.
812
01:13:21,485 --> 01:13:24,905
Now I understand why you did not
came to the demonstration.
813
01:13:24,985 --> 01:13:28,996
I wasn't there, because it does not
matter how much noise we make.
814
01:13:29,487 --> 01:13:32,437
You can not make people care. - I care.
815
01:13:33,688 --> 01:13:36,159
And I'm working really hard
on this, Melayna.
816
01:13:36,619 --> 01:13:40,739
Because it's your job.
You care about the headline.
817
01:13:42,091 --> 01:13:43,390
Is that really what you think?
818
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:49,532
I'm so tired of people telling
me they are working on this,
819
01:13:49,992 --> 01:13:52,542
working on that, and
coming up with nothing.
820
01:13:53,594 --> 01:13:55,583
I don't longer believe to
anybody, anywhere. Not anymore
821
01:13:56,343 --> 01:14:01,175
I even don't believe in God,
and you expect me to believe you?
822
01:14:08,101 --> 01:14:09,202
I'm so sorry.
823
01:14:14,098 --> 01:14:19,749
Sorry. - It's okay, you don't need
to apologize. I see.
824
01:14:20,499 --> 01:14:26,111
I am sorry. I have a feeling
I'm doing everything that I can...
825
01:14:28,354 --> 01:14:32,753
I know. - I want to find him,
more than anything and...
826
01:14:34,107 --> 01:14:36,584
I'm ready to star going door-to- door.
827
01:14:38,324 --> 01:14:41,865
Really? On whose door
are you going to?
828
01:14:51,607 --> 01:14:52,624
What is it?
829
01:14:55,109 --> 01:14:59,059
Why can't we talk in your office?
- Because Brass don't trust that we...
830
01:14:59,069 --> 01:15:01,060
can keep information
away of "LA Weekly",
831
01:15:01,070 --> 01:15:03,190
and I told him that we
take every precaution.
832
01:15:04,210 --> 01:15:08,772
The chief and the DA are on the twist.
State attorney has approved a familial...
833
01:15:08,782 --> 01:15:11,437
DNA search for The Grim Sleeper.
- I never thought they would go for it.
834
01:15:11,847 --> 01:15:15,613
The DA is sure it's gonna be a challenge
on a privacy issue and this case...
835
01:15:15,623 --> 01:15:20,309
will be a legal nightmare for all of us.
This has never happened in this country.
836
01:15:20,324 --> 01:15:24,516
When will the gonna run it?
- They already did. And they got a hit.
837
01:15:24,966 --> 01:15:28,115
A kid was arrested on a weapon
charge few months ago.
838
01:15:28,126 --> 01:15:30,978
He is the son of a man whose
DNA you've been chasing.
839
01:15:31,017 --> 01:15:34,999
Months of police work. - And it
pops out of a computer just like that?
840
01:15:35,218 --> 01:15:36,338
Not just like that.
841
01:15:36,343 --> 01:15:40,661
They got a special team tracking him
and they get his DNA of pizza crust.
842
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:44,741
This is the name of the man you need
to arrest. I the signed warrant.
843
01:15:47,621 --> 01:15:49,127
Lonnie Franklin Jr.
844
01:15:49,672 --> 01:15:52,738
Why does that name sounds familiar?
- Oh, my God!
845
01:15:58,924 --> 01:16:01,006
Thanks for the ride, Lonnie.
846
01:16:02,525 --> 01:16:04,562
It's nice to see that
people are trying so hard.
847
01:16:06,441 --> 01:16:09,557
They will find that son of a bitch
who took your sweet girl.
848
01:16:10,427 --> 01:16:12,703
She was sweet, wasn't she?
849
01:16:13,329 --> 01:16:15,598
She was very sweet.
850
01:16:21,700 --> 01:16:24,081
I used to have smoke breaks
with Franklin, I thought he was fun.
851
01:16:24,102 --> 01:16:25,122
Come on, let's go!
852
01:16:40,685 --> 01:16:42,405
Hi, Christine Palisek,
LA Weekly.
853
01:16:42,415 --> 01:16:45,156
I have a question about someone
who used to lived here.
854
01:16:47,236 --> 01:16:49,687
He worked for us!
LAP damn D!
855
01:17:00,241 --> 01:17:04,331
No sirens. I don't
want to scare this guy.
856
01:17:22,645 --> 01:17:24,096
Family man.
857
01:17:27,146 --> 01:17:30,477
Come on, let me
I see your face. Look at me.
858
01:17:49,052 --> 01:17:50,613
LAPD!
Put your hands up!
859
01:17:55,654 --> 01:17:59,963
Keep your hands up!
No sudden movements!
860
01:18:01,155 --> 01:18:02,665
On the ground!
861
01:18:44,866 --> 01:18:48,267
You know why we arrested you,
don't you, Lonnie? - No, sir.
862
01:18:50,467 --> 01:18:51,674
I think you do.
863
01:18:53,568 --> 01:18:59,020
If you were in my garage and see those
things, I don't know anything about it.
864
01:18:59,570 --> 01:19:04,511
You're a mechanic. You work on
cars for people from neighborhood.
865
01:19:05,171 --> 01:19:07,672
Trying to help.
866
01:19:08,872 --> 01:19:11,073
Have you worked on
an orange Pinto?
867
01:19:15,175 --> 01:19:17,515
But you don't just work on cars.
868
01:19:22,179 --> 01:19:24,756
You like to take pictures,
don't you, Lonnie?
869
01:19:25,676 --> 01:19:28,477
We found a lot of pictures in your den.
870
01:19:31,678 --> 01:19:33,093
Did you take this picture?
871
01:19:38,330 --> 01:19:44,172
Looks like Ebony King.
The "Sleeper's" last victim.
872
01:19:46,032 --> 01:19:47,962
Did you take this picture, Lonnie?
873
01:19:54,083 --> 01:19:55,565
I already know you are.
874
01:19:57,184 --> 01:19:58,656
You wanna know how I know?
875
01:20:00,985 --> 01:20:06,502
Because it's your god damn DNA in
a saliva we found all over her body.
876
01:20:10,688 --> 01:20:13,853
Who is this girl?
She didn't even look alive.
877
01:20:16,390 --> 01:20:19,990
What about her?
What's her name?
878
01:20:28,492 --> 01:20:34,113
We found dozens of pictures
of women in your den. Hundreds!
879
01:20:37,545 --> 01:20:41,955
Dozens were unconscious. Even dead!
880
01:20:43,606 --> 01:20:49,598
I think there never was a break.
There was never any gap at all, was there?
881
01:20:51,205 --> 01:20:53,529
How many daughters did you steal, Lonnie!?
882
01:20:54,250 --> 01:20:56,800
How many sisters did you take, Lonnie!?
883
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:01,800
How many of them ended
up in the city dumb?
884
01:21:05,701 --> 01:21:09,652
I don't know what you
you are talking about.
885
01:21:12,003 --> 01:21:13,222
I can promise you this:
886
01:21:16,003 --> 01:21:17,303
there won't be any more.
887
01:22:17,304 --> 01:22:22,304
