Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color
True Crime
This week Beth and Wendy discuss the case of Lonnie David Franklin Jr., aka The Grim Sleeper, a serial killer who was responsible for at least 10 murders and one attempted murder in Los Angeles, California between 1984 to 2007.
(note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little)
First, we dive into the setting (08:20), the killers early life (15:46) and the timeline (17:05). Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (42:40), "Where are they now?" followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (52:04).
As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs (58:42).
This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams and edited by Minnie Williams.

Carol Costello Present: Blind Rage. In this podcast, journalist Carol Costello revisits the first big assignment she covered as a 22-year-old, novice reporter: Phyllis Cottles’ brutal attack. Psychologists call them “Triumphant Survivors,” but Phyllis Cottle was more than a survivor, she used this crime to better herself and the world around her.
