Grim Sleeper aged composite - UPDATE
Following the removal of our aged composite of the Grim Sleeper, we contacted LAPD for a reaction and to ask if they had any objections to it being published it on this website.
…
So far we haven’t received a reply which is not surprising. We also contacted Margaret Prescod via Black Coalition. We received a quick reply asking only for the reasons for our interest in the case and for some ‘backgrouind’ on the website. We pointed them in the direction of an LAWeekly article about this website in the hope that it would answer their queries. Alas they have not made further contact with us so we’re guessing that The Grim Sleeper website is perhaps not serious enough to warrant a response.
…
It is not altogether surprising although we had hoped that Ms. Prescod would be appreciative of even the tiniest attempt to help catch this killer and look favorably on our efforts. Perhaps the email didn’t actually reach Margaret or maybe she has yet to send a reply. We’ll continue waiting.
…
We’ve contacted LAWeekly’s Christine Pelisek who has been most helpful in the past and we hope to receive a reply from her soon.
…
We want to put the aged composite back on the website but are reluctant to do so it until we get some further advice.

Watch this space (or the one above!)

Keep up the great work! By luck last night driving home from work I heard on the radio about a cold case that was solved by the public and a few passionate people who decided to get involved (military cold case). The military had “lost track” of the case over the years and was solved on persistence, hard work and a bit of luck from the public. Then on TV when I got home, our local TV station as added a cold case update on a 10 year old student murder. The family was upset the case had sat unsolved, so they got involved, paid for a DNA test on their own and just made a link to catch the killer (someone they suspected before, but he was out of state and so case was stuck there). Not sure if I was being sent a message as it was just coincidence I heard either of these cold case updates, but I do believe your persistence and passion for this case will make a difference! I think it was wise to make contact with these 3 contacts and hope all 3 will get back with you soon!

In my opinion, both the L.A. Weekly and this website have done an all-around-excellent job at bringing much-needed coverage and exposure to this case. Please be patient and know that the work done both by this website and the L.A. Weekly is both appreciated and necessary. Keep it up!

I would not hesitate to resend your emails to them at least weekly…I get so many emails at work and bet they do also. Keep putting your requests back at the top of their to do lists. Heck, send them a copy every day until they respond (please). JustMy2cents.
