Horror in Real Time


In my own city, a serial killer is on the loose. Detectives believe this person has killed at least 11 people, many of them prostitutes, over a 23-year period.

Los Angeles Police Deputy Chief Charlie Beck said DNA evidence and ballistics tests have convinced detectives that the same killer is connected to the slayings in Los Angeles and Inglewood.

The victims were prostitutes or drug users who were sexually assaulted and then shot and dumped in alleyways or inside dumpsters, police said.

The most recent killing -- in January 2007 -- was tied exclusively to DNA analysis to another case after 13 years. However, detectives have not been able to identify the killer through state or federal DNA databases of convicted felons.

So they are still out here

If the perp isn't in the DNA database it means they're going to have to wait for him/her to get sloppy. After 23 years the chances of that happening are pretty slim.

The fact that the perp doesn't brag about it means just one less clue for the police.
