Los Angeles police detectives have nearly quadrupled the amount of reviewable cases with potential ties to the Grim Sleeper serial killer case.
Detectives are now looking at 230 missing persons cases and unsolved killings going back to May 1976, when Grim Sleeper suspect Lonnie David Franklin Jr., 57, left the Army, according to the Los Angeles Times.
