View Grim Sleeper Suspect Lonnie David Franklin Lived at Murder Epicenter in a larger map

By Steve La and Dennis Romero

A map of the locations of the bodies tied to the Grim Sleeper case appears to put the South Los Angeles home of suspect Lonnie Franklin Jr. almost at the epicenter of the violence. Some of the bodies were found blocks away from his residence. It's eerie. Franklin was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with 10 counts of murder in connection with a killing spree that lasted from 1985 to 2007. Police are looking into additional, unsolved murders to determine if there might be a connection to the Sleeper case.
