The June 7 issue reveals that Inglewood police have linked 10 prostitute slayings, dating back as far as 1985, with DNA and ballistics tests. Evidence has been collected from a suspect, but it could be months before police know if his DNA is a match. L.A. Weekly's story is based on a series of jailhouse interviews, court documents, and interviews with police and family members. It also maps the killings of several other women being tracked by LA County Coroner's Serial Homicide Team.

DEA Seizes Drugs From Houston Press Reporter

Craig Malisow "crossed the line" during his investigation into online pharmacy referral services, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. Two agents from the DEA visited the Houston Press office yesterday and seized some generic Vicodin and anabolic steroids that Malisow had purchased through an online service, he reveals in a story published today on HoustonPress.com. The letter from Malisow that was published on Romenesko yesterday, in which the reporter mentioned purchasing the painkillers and asked for advice in dealing with a blackmail attempt from one of the service's employees, was "a bonehead move" that was "directly from the King of Bad Ideas, Lord of Planet Dumbass," he says. Michael Lacey, executive editor of Village Voice Media, addressed the blackmail attempt and the seizure in a statement released this morning, saying the company believes "the entire shooting match" would benefit "from full disclosure as well as a vigorous legal defense."
