Lonnie David Franklin



Lonnie David Franklin, Jr., also known as the Grim Sleeper, is an American serial killer responsible for at least ten murders and one attempted murder in Los Angeles, California. His nickname comes from the fact that he appeared to have taken a 14-year break from his crimes, from 1988 to 2002.

On August 10, 2016, Los Angeles Superior Court sentenced him to death for each of the ten victims named in the verdict.
