Oxygen True Crime released the following lengthy description:
“The City of Angels became a city of horrors as a serial killer, whom authorities began referring to as the Southside Slayer, devastated the community. The bodies of women were discovered one after another in alleys, on playgrounds, and even on the steps of an elementary school. The investigators’ worst fears were confirmed when they determined after years of working on the cases that there wasn’t just one Southside Slayer, but four separate serial killers operating at the same time in the same place.
Serial Killer Capital: Los Angeles features families of victims speaking for the first time, firsthand survivor accounts, and interviews with law enforcement who eventually find justice for many of the murdered women. As crime in 1980s Los Angeles intensified due to gang activity and the crack epidemic, the police noticed a trend. In South Los Angeles, women were discovered shot or strangled to death. After a suspect was arrested the killings continued, leading police to believe there was more than one serial killer. As multiple serial killers walked free, the horrific murders created panic and confusion within the city and police force.
However, law enforcement remained undeterred in their quest to bring the killers to justice. After the infamous O.J. Simpson case in the 1990s, the Los Angeles Police Department invested millions of dollars into a new crime lab, including DNA forensics. These new advancements drove the unending hunt for the killers who police believe were responsible for more than 100 murders.”
