LOS ANGELES — Investigators are re-examining more than 30 cold-case files to see whether they can be tied to a suspect in the “Grim Sleeper” killings, the police chief said Friday.
The cases, dating to 1984, will be scoured for leads in light of new information gleaned since the arrest Wednesday of Lonnie Franklin Jr.
Franklin was dubbed the Grim Sleeper after a string of murders of young black women had south Los Angeles on edge in the mid-1980s.
Investigators will upload his DNA profile into a national database to see whether it matches other samples where the DNA had degraded and scientists only were able to get a partial sample.
