The Grim Sleeper is a film documentary directing attention towards serial killer rapist. During the filming, Lonnie Franklin, a supposed serial killer with apparently over 25 known victims is still in the trial phase while a cameraman and Nick Broomfield, a “reporter” scrutinize and expose more secrets about the killings, the motivation behind the killings, and the people involved. The investigation requires the interrogation and assistance of locals to obtain the pieces of the seemingly impossible puzzle.

The area in which the killings have taken place is a full of corruption, drug abuse, prostitution, inefficient law enforcement, and a common disregard for rules/regulations. These factors seem to make the investigation more complicated, yet uncomplicated. For example, given how much individuals care for their own safety, Lonnie's friends and the people of the community end up gladly giving up all the information they have for the investigation. From the first couple of days on the investigation, the crew has learned that Lonnie actually has a “good” reputation in the community.

Often times there are articles in newspapers or headline segments on the news about a person who spent most of their adult life in prison, only to be freed because they were truly innocent. Thus, in the case of Joseph sledge, that was all too true. In 1976, Joseph Sledge was sentenced to prison for the double murder of Josephine Davis, 74, and her daughter Aileen, 57, at their home in the small North Carolina town of Elizabethtown (Zucchino, D., 2015 Jan., 24). It is baffling how evidence provided by officers and testimony that convicted him was the reason behind his presumed guilt and eventually the result of his freedom.
