Serial killers here, serial killers there, serial killers EVERYWHERE!

Women's rights are being attacked from all fronts by our "family friendly" (read: Patriarchal Asswipes/Douchenozzles/Kochsucking/Anti-American) REPUBLICANS.

While this is going on, serial killers are running loose on both coasts. That is, serial killers that have been IDENTIFIED. Who knows how many more are at large around the rest of the nation.

After all, their victims are usually "just" women. Not only "just" women, but also prostitutes/call girls/street walkers/ or other women not considered quite human by "polite society" (the poor, minorities, mentally challenged, "sluts", or "wild girls"). Not considered quite human -- until some over privileged guy "needs" one to "get his rocks off".

These murders of a HUMAN BEING are sometimes seen by our kind and caring Police as having "no human involvement" (NHI).

Here are two news stories describing what I think is just the tip of a huge iceberg.

Long Island: (this from The New York Times)

Discovery of 3 More Sets of Remains Adds to L.I. Mystery

Investigators on Long Island discovered the remains of three more people on a barrier beach on Monday, bringing the number of remains found nearby to eight since the police began searching for a missing prostitute late last year.

The grim discoveries began in December, when the police found the bodies of four female prostitutes near one another close to a highway on Gilgo Beach in Suffolk County, leading the police to believe that a serial killer had dumped them there.

After a search throughout the winter, complete with dogs trained to sniff out cadavers, the police turned up a fifth set of remains last Tuesday near Oak Beach, about a mile east of where the first four bodies were found.

The authorities have not yet identified the fifth set of remains, and would not speculate about the identities of the three discovered Monday, in the brush off the north side of Ocean Parkway between Gilgo Beach and Oak Beach. It was not clear how long the remains had been there or if there was any connection between the most recent discoveries and the first four.

The first four women, all in their 20s, had advertised their services on Craigslist, the authorities have said. Phone records and eyewitnesses have placed at least two of the women at budget hotels on Long Island in recent years, just before they went missing.

The police began combing the beach last year as part of the search for Shannan Gilbert, 24, a prostitute from Jersey City who went missing in May. None of the four bodies discovered in December were hers. A law enforcement official said the fifth set of remains were not Ms. Gilbert’s either.

On Monday, investigators could be seen combing through several areas of brush about 50 yards from the road on the west side of a quiet stretch of Ocean Parkway.

Twenty-five new recruits aided in the search; the police used fire-truck ladders, which were laid over the bramble so they could see into the brush, and a chain saw. The police said investigators would remain in the area overnight.

Melanie Englert, 34, was driving from work in New Hyde Park to see a friend in Bayshore when she saw the investigators and pulled into a small parking lot on the side of the road. “I saw them unloading big cardboard boxes and going into the brush and I said, ‘Oh boy,’ ” said Ms. Englert, who had just heard that three bodies had been found. “It’s super shocking. I can’t believe it.”

Brendan Byrne, 36, who lives near the scene, said the police had searched the backyards of homes in his neighborhood earlier in the day.

“My fiancée sent me a text that said: ‘They’re in our backyard. Literally.’ ”


Next, Los Angeles: (Reuters)

Accused "Grim Sleeper" killer suspected in more deaths

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Detectives believe they have uncovered more victims of a Los Angeles serial killer dubbed the "Grim Sleeper" who is already accused of 10 murders, police said on Tuesday.

In the latest break in the case, investigators are looking into whether Lonnie David Franklin Jr had a role in the disappearance of six missing women, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement.

Investigators were scheduled to offer more details on the potential victims on Tuesday afternoon.

Police also believe two more women could have been victims of Franklin, the Los Angeles Times reports.

A photo of one of the women, who is still unidentified, was found among a collection of pictures found at Franklin's home, and there is other evidence connecting her to him, detectives told the newspaper.

An eighth woman was the victim of a 1988 killing with similarities to other murders Franklin is accused of committing, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Franklin, a 58-year-old retired sanitation worker and auto mechanic from Los Angeles, was arrested last year and charged with 10 counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in a string of killings that began in the 1980s.

All of his alleged victims were women or girls.

The serial killer appeared to take a nearly 14-year hiatus between November of 1988 and March of 2002, prompting the L.A. Weekly newspaper to tag him the "Grim Sleeper."

In December, police investigating the "Grim Sleeper" case asked for the public's help in identifying women and teenage girls depicted in 180 photos seized from his possession and feared to be among his victims.

Detectives could not immediately be reached on Tuesday for additional comment on the case.

Most of the victims that Franklin is accused of killing were found in working class south Los Angeles. Many had been sexually assaulted and shot with a .25 caliber pistol.

Franklin was initially linked to the murders after police took a DNA sample from his son, in an unrelated case, and found it closely resembled DNA evidence recovered in the "Grim Sleeper" murders.

Franklin is due in court on June 1 for a pretrial hearing

How many more are at work - say along the Gulf Coast, in Florida, or near various truck stops all across the nation? Does anyone REALLY think our "justice system" treats all folks equally?

Our discounting of women as "people" is akin to the way women are treated in "backward" countries. How are our attitudes that different from those countries where women are seen as decidedly inferior beings?

You can easily make up your own list -- don't forget to include the good old USA!
