I SURVIVED A SERIAL KILLER: The Grim Sleeper

from Cold Case Files

In November of 1988, 27-year-old Enietra Margette is walking to a party in South Los Angeles, when a neatly dressed man in a souped-up orange pinto offers her a ride. Soon after getting into the car, the driver, Lonnie Franklin, shoots the young passenger point blank in the chest. By this time, he had already committed a string of grisly murders in the city. Enietra recounts in her own words her resilience and keen insights that helped her outwit the would-be murderer.
