LOS ANGELES — Investigators are reviewing at least 30 unsolved murder cases for possible links to an unidentified serial killer suspected in at least 11 slayings since 1985.
The unsolved cases have many similarities to those carried out by the serial killer, including locations where the bodies were dumped, Los Angeles police Detective Dennis Kilcoyne said Friday.
He estimated at least six of the 30 cases would be linked to the murderer.
"We don't know who he is, but his numbers are building," Kilcoyne said. "Once we are done, I am quite confident this will exceed anything we have ever seen in the city."
Kilcoyne's comments came after the Los Angeles Police Department held a news conference to announce for the second time a city-funded reward of up to $500,000 for information. The reward was first announced last week but authorities distributed the wrong phone number for the public to call so responses were limited.
The killer apparently operated in two distinct periods, first from 1985 to 1987, when he allegedly killed seven women and a man. He is known to have killed again three times since 2002, most recently in January 2007.

Scary stuff, hopefully they'll be allowed to test and get some sort of a lead via DNA.

Not that I'm complaining, but why don't serial killers ever pop up in small towns? It's always is some major metropolitan area.

Less mental illness in small towns. More opportunities in the Big City.
Anyone who would kill cereal is crazy.

Because they need victims who won't be immediately missed and they need to be anonyous to an extent. It is much harder to kill a number of people one at a time if you live somewhere where everyone knows everyone else's business. Far easier to pick up anonymous drifters and prostitutes in large towns and cities.
