County Posts $10,000 Reward for Information on Intruder
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors offered a $10,000 reward Tuesday for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the so-called Valley Intruder, blamed for at least 6--and possibly as many as 13--slayings and at least 15 rapes, beatings and kidnapings in the San Gabriel and San Fernando valleys.
Supervisor Pete Schabarum, in whose district most of the crimes have occurred, called the attacks “a countywide problem” that has spread fear to every community.
Police and Sheriff’s Department investigators say the killer enters homes through open windows and unlocked doors, attacking victims while they sleep.
The male suspect is described as thin, at least 6 feet tall, between 25 and 30 years of age, with brown curly hair. Witnesses say he has stained front teeth that are widely gapped.
