The Grim Sleeper
The women of South Central, LA didn’t realize they were being hunted by a vicious killer in 1988. Police hadn’t yet connected a series of murdered women to the same man, but after an intended victim survived an attempt on her life, they realized that a serial killer was preying on women in the community. It would take decades, but the man known as the Grim Sleeper would eventually face justice.
