Unmasking The GrimSleeper
In the 1980s, during the crack cocaine epidemic that plagued South Central Los Angeles, a mysterious figure later known as the "Grim Sleeper" began terrorizing the local black community. This serial killer primarily targeted African American women, sowing a climate of fear and anguish throughout the region.
It wasn't until the LAPD connected two separate attacks that they realized they were dealing with a serial killer. Devastated by the possibility that one of their own may be responsible, the police launched an intensive investigation to uncover the identity of this monstrous individual.
After years of painstaking work, the LAPD finally apprehended the Grim Sleeper, who is believed to have spanned over 25 years, leaving numerous victims in his wake and traumatizing the community he preyed upon.
Join Steph as we delve deeper into the chilling case of the Grim Sleeper, exploring the victims, the investigation, and the haunting legacy of this notorious serial killer who preyed upon the vulnerable in South Central L.A.
