Sneak Peek: "Cold Case Files: The Grim Sleeper" Premieres Friday, November 8

Narrated by actress and producer Regina Hall, special "Cold Case Files: The Grim Sleeper" explores the hunt for notorious killer Lonnie Franklin Jr. In Los Angeles in the 1980's, a killer terrorized South Central, murdering African American women and discarding their bodies in the street. Yet, as the victim count rose, there were few suspects leading to fear and anger in a community often overlooked by the LAPD. Eventually dubbed “The Grim Sleeper,” this notorious killer went on to terrorize the neighborhood for decades until DNA technology allowed the LAPD to close in on the perpetrator. In this clip, community members remember the strained relationship with law enforcement in the 1980s and the mounting frustration with finding the killer.
