TWO-HOUR SPECIAL PREMIERES FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8 AT 9PM ET/PT
New York, NY -October 10, 2024 - A&E will premiere the new two-hour special "Cold Case Files: The Grim Sleeper" expanding the groundbreaking true crime series and exploring the crimes of infamous serial killer Lonnie Franklin Jr. who preyed on women in South Central Los Angeles over a span of 25 years. Narrated by award-winning actress and producer Regina Hall, the gripping true crime tale is interwoven with the real-life story of the search for an elusive killer and the fight for justice in a Los Angeles community. "Cold Case Files: The Grim Sleeper" premieres Friday, November 8 at 9pm ET/PT on A&E.
In Los Angeles in the 1980's, a killer terrorized South Central, murdering African American women and discarding their bodies in the street. Yet, as the victim count rose, there were few suspects leading to fear and anger in a community often overlooked by the LAPD. Eventually dubbed "The Grim Sleeper," this notorious killer went on to terrorize the neighborhood for decades until DNA technology allowed the LAPD to close in on the perpetrator. Featuring in depth interviews with survivors and victims' families, many speaking for the first time, as well as rare archival footage, "Cold Case Files: The Grim Sleeper" explores the personal stories of the victims who were all but forgotten by the police, the media and the community at large.
"Cold Case Files: The Grim Sleeper" is produced by Category 6 Media, part of the A+E Factual Studios(TM) group, for A&E Network. Executive producers for Category 6 Media are Sharon Scott, Laura Fleury, Kristy Sabat and Hillary Heath. Executive producers for A&E Network are Elaine Frontain Bryant and Maitee Cueva.
