The Grim Sleeper: Unmasking Lonnie Franklin Jr.

Welcome to Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast where we dig deep into the stories of some of the most elusive and dangerous criminals in modern history. I’m Jay Nicoll of Nicoll Investigations, and in today’s episode, we’re looking into one of Los Angeles' most notorious serial killers—Lonnie Franklin Jr., also known as "The Grim Sleeper."

The name "Grim Sleeper" strikes fear for a reason. It belongs to a man who terrorized South Los Angeles over more than two decades, evading capture in what became one of the most disturbing crime sprees the city had ever seen.

So, who was Lonnie Franklin Jr.? How did he manage to slip through the cracks for so many years? And, perhaps most hauntingly, why was he given the nickname "The Grim Sleeper"? Stick with us as we unravel the twisted tale of a man who hid in plain sight.
