EP 128: BLIND READ — "Enietra Washington: Only Confirmed Survivor of the Grim Sleeper" by Shari Rose

She was supposed to be his eighth victim. On November 19th, 1988, 27-year-old Enietra Washington — a mother of two and lifelong South Los Angeles resident — accepted a ride from a stranger named Lonnie Franklin Jr. and barely lived to tell about it. Shot point-blank in the chest, sexually assaulted, photographed unconscious, and pushed from a moving car, Enietra did something Lonnie Franklin never counted on: she survived. And decades later, she took the stand and looked him in the eye.Lonnie Franklin Jr., known as the Grim Sleeper, was convicted of 10 murders in 2016 and sentenced to death. He died on death row at San Quentin in March 2020. Enietra Washington — who goes by Margette today — calls herself not a survivor, but a conqueror. "That's Genevieve. And that's Kaitlyn."Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled.
