The City of Angels has a hellish side, as proven by Oxygen's new true-crime documentary special Serial Killer Capital: Los Angeles. Premiering tonight, October 20 at 7pm Eastern Time, the two-hour special examines a series of brutal murders that wreaked havoc in South Los Angeles beginning in the 1980s and continuing through the early 2000s.
"The City of Angels became a city of horrors as a serial killer, whom authorities began referring to as the Southside Slayer, devastated the community. The bodies of women were discovered one after another—in alleys, on playgrounds, and even on the steps of an elementary school," reads the special's synopsis from Oxygen. "The investigators' worst fears were confirmed when they determined after years of working on the cases that there wasn't just one Southside Slayer, but four separate serial killers operating at the same time in the same place," a realization that set off a wave of panic and confusion within the city and police force.
