LA's Shady Past: A Who's Who of Killers
Los Angeles: City of Angels, they say. But let's be real, it's also been the playground for some seriously twisted individuals. We're talking about people who turned "killing time" into a full-time job. So, let's dive into the murky waters of LA's serial killer history.

| Who Was The Serial Killer In Los Angeles |
The Night Stalker: Not Your Average Night Owl
You can't talk about LA serial killers without mentioning Richard Ramirez, aka the Night Stalker. This guy was like a real-life Freddy Krueger, except without the dream sequences (thank goodness). He was all about breaking into homes, terrorizing people, and generally being a nightmare. His MO? Randomness. He didn’t discriminate based on age, gender, or whether you had a Netflix subscription.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
The Hillside Strangler: A Duo of Doom
Next up, we have Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono, the dynamic duo behind the Hillside Strangler moniker. These guys were basically roommates from hell, with a penchant for picking up young women and turning their lives into a horror movie. Their victims were found in the Hollywood Hills, which is ironic because their acting skills were probably worse than a soap opera.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
The Grim Sleeper: A Long, Dark Secret
Lonnie Franklin Jr., aka the Grim Sleeper, managed to evade capture for decades. His victims were primarily young Black women, and he was as elusive as a ghost. It's like he was playing a real-life game of hide-and-seek, but with way higher stakes.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.

Other Shady Characters
Of course, these are just a few of the infamous serial killers who’ve called LA home. There’s also the Zodiac Killer, who, despite not being exclusively an LA killer, terrorized the area. And let's not forget about the Black Dahlia, a mysterious unsolved case that continues to fascinate true crime enthusiasts.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
So, what can we learn from all this? Well, for starters, don't hitchhike alone at night. Second, if you see something suspicious, say something. And third, maybe avoid living in LA if you have a fear of the dark. Just kidding (kind of).
