The Grim Sleeper


Listen Later

Episode 48: For over two decades, a predator haunted the streets of South Los Angeles, leaving a trail of bodies in the dark alleys and trash heaps along Western Avenue. Because of a 14-year hiatus in his crimes, he was dubbed the "Grim Sleeper". This killer targeted vulnerable Black women during the height of the crack cocaine epidemic. This case eventually became solvable with the help of DNA. The investigation was defined by decades of missed opportunities, community outrage, and the overwhelming noise of a city gripped by a literal "epidemic" of serial murderers. Who was the Grim Sleeper?
