Are these 180 women victims of the killer nicknamed the Grim Sleeper?

On trial: Ex-police mechanic Lonnie D Franklin Jr, 63

With a gunshot wound in her chest, the naked body of 18-year-old Alicia “Monique” Alexander was found under a mattress in a south Los Angeles alley.

In the weeks after the teenager’s murder on September 11, 1988, her father Porter hit out at police, accusing them of dragging their heels in the investigation of her death. His voice was not alone.

For in the three years before Alicia’s killing, seven other families had also seen their loved ones shot dead – all with chilling similarities.

At the time, police refused to link the murders publicly but locals knew they had aserial killer in their midst.

They believed that police were doing little to solve each murder and even accused them of racism. All but one of the victims were black women from poor areas and often had troubled lives.

NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton & Donald Trump both announced their support for a U.S. judge’s ruling that would force the tech giant to unlock a smartphone

New York’s top cop and the bombastic billionaire running for president both agree that Apple should help the FBI break into the San Bernardino killer’s locked iPhone.

NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump both announced their support for a U.S. judge’s Tuesday ruling that would force the tech giant to unlock a smartphone used by Syed Farook before his bloody terror rampage on an office holiday party in December — even though Apple called the court mandate a “dangerous" precedent

“No device, no car and no apartment should be beyond the reach of a court-ordered search warrant,” Bratton, who leads the nation's largest police force, said in a Wednesday statement.

As the threats from (ISIS) become more divergent and complex, we cannot give those seeking to harm us additional tools to keep their activity secret,” he continued.

Meanwhile, Trump scoffed at the tech giant’s concerns that the order would set a well-intentioned but ultimately “dangerous” precedent that could allow the FBI to unlock anyone’s iPhone.

Th“Apple, this is one case — and this is a case where we should certainly be able to get into the phone,” the businessman-turned-politician said on FOX News Wednesday morning, adding that information about the killer’s motive could be stashed on the device.

By default, Apple has encrypted its iPhones to allow them only to be accessed using a passcode.

FBI investigators have not been able to unlock Farook’s password-protected phone since his December killing spree. Federal prosecutors told the judge they can’t access the county-owned work phone used because they don’t know his passcode — prompting the judge to demand Apple crack into the device.e order from U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym requires Apple to supply software the FBI can load onto Farook's county-owned work iPhone to bypass a self-destruct feature that erases the phone's data after too many unsuccessful attempts to unlock it. The FBI wants to be able to try different combinations in rapid sequence until it finds the right one.

Tim Cook called the order “dangerous” in a letter to customers on Wednesday.
