City of Angels, City of Death

There was supposedly 20 serial killers active in LA between 1975 & 1985, yet this series wants us to believe that LA was a 100% GREAT Place To Live back then were it not for all these serial killers ??? What an insult to my intelligence !!! There is definitely something wrong with a city itself that has such a concentration of serial killers. These serial killings didn't happen in spite of Los Angeles but because of LA. A truly honest consideration of this topic would've asked : "What is wrong with a city for so much serial killing to happen there in just one decade ???? Sick People are a product of a Sick Society, and LA was apparently a VERY Sick Society back then. THAT was the REAL Story that this series neglected.

Wow! What a great series. Hearing from the detectives who solved the cases gave an amazing insight into the beginnings of modern techniques used to catch serial killers as well as the challenges they faced. I hope this series continues.

I hope you have done an episode on my friend Dori Haines. She was murdered with a friend up by box canyon after the sharon tate murder. Maybe a copycat.

If you are in to true crime this is a fantastically produced documentary. They don't repeat the same stuff over and over like the cable crime shows. The actual detectives who investigated the crime are in this production. And some well known faces to the true crime community are here (Paul Holes and Matt Murphy). It's so nice to see Matt since I live in Orange County where Matt was a prosecutor and the recent host at Crime Com awards.

As usual, I'm reminded about how much I absolutely hate the media, this series does not provide any exception to that sentiment. They are a bunch of vultures that care more about a story than respecting an investigation. If they are exceptions it just proves the rule.

I avoided watching this initially because I was already so familiar with the different serial killers & crimes that this series covers. I'm happy that I finally took the time to watch because it was a truly intriguing & different take than anything I had ever watched before about the era of the 70's & 80's LA serial killers. They give examples of how a lot of these crimes crossed paths due to the fact that the same police were investigating all of these infamous criminals at the same time. The firsthand accounts from the police are emotional & raw, really giving you a feel for what it was like to investigate all of those coinciding crimes & live through that insanity. Overall it was a great series & I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys true crime.
