What Is Lonnie Franklin's Account Of Murder?

Lonnie Franklin was arrested on July 7th, 2010 and charged with 10 accounts of murder and one account of attempt of murder. Beginning in 1985 and ending in 2010, 118 women were reported killed near or in the neighborhood Lonnie Franklin lived in. Although only 118 women were found dead, Lonnie owned over 180 pictures of different women in a variety sexual positions in their undergarments in his house and in his car. Many of the women in the photos were found dead, but where are the ones that weren’t?

The narrator basically let the people he interviewed tell the story of Lonnie Franklin and would explain the interviewed people's relations to Lonnie, the women killed, or summarize what they said in the interview after. This was a very real film, unfiltered, based in the “hood”, honest opinions and stories about situations with Lonnie and blunt about the things that went on with Lonnie and in the neighborhood, and emotional because the people that were interviewed about him didn’t hide what they felt and that really helped with our understanding of what happened and the extremity of what had taken place and that’s what I feel was the real strength of the film. The personalities of those interviewed and the emotions they showed when explaining their experiences in regard to Lonnie is something you can’t read about and understand, seeing their faces and their emotions is something real and self explanatory. The film was effective in communicating what I feel was its message but, in my opinion, it could’ve been better organized regarding the
