A police task force investigating the murders of 16 prostitutes in the Los Angeles area has arrested 12 suspects for a variety of other offenses but has yet to turn up the serial killer. “We found one guy who raped a 12-year-old girl and another who had a murder warrant from three homicides that happened about 10 years ago,” said Lt. John Zorn, who heads the 40-member Southside Serial Slayer Task Force. Zorn said his men also picked up suspects in armed robbery, battery and auto theft cases.
