Enter Serial Killer Probe
By EDWARD J. BOYER, Tinies Staff Writer
A coalition dissatisfied with police efforts to capture a serial killer
in South-Central Los Angeles said
Thursday they will ask federal
authorities to enter the investigation next week.
"If these murders had happened
in Beverly Hills, we would have
seen much more progress." said
Margaret Prescod, coordinator for
the Black Coalition Fighting Back
Serial Murders. "If police are having difficulty ... it is past time to
bring in other agencies."
A police-sheriff task force was
organized in January to find the
man they believe responsible for
killing 15 prostitutes since September. 1953.
Presccd spcxe to CO cecole Withered for a candlelight vigil at Main
and 64th streets to memorialize the
victims. They carried signs reading: "Enough."' "Women's Lives
Aren't Cheso." "Slop the Serial
Killings." M,-Vi5»nen'i Safety First. *
A woman who identified herself
only u Szr.in said she survived an
attack by the killer, during which
he told her: "My mother was a
whore and I hate all whores.™ She
said a poiice composite of the killer
is "definitely the man. It is a good
drawing." .
Speakers accused the task force
of "foot-dragging" and the media
of indifference because all but two
of the killer's victims were black,
and they were all prostitutes. They
said media coverage does noi begin
to approach the coverage of the
so-called "Wilshire rapist" and the
"Night Stalker."
"We must get the word to the
LAPD and the media that it does
not matter to us that these women
were prostitutes," Prescod said.
"Human li*. es were taken."
When P/esccd .noticed that LL
John Zorn. head of '.he task force.
