LOS ANGELES, Jul 26, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- A Los Angeles Police detective said a man on death row for the killings of two women in the 1980s may be connected to at least 50 other missing women.
The detective said the missing women, believed to be from Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, Culver City, Inglewood, and nearby California beach towns, were photographed by convicted killer Richard Bradford, KNX-AM Los Angeles reported Wednesday.
Bradford was convicted of first-degree murder in the slayings of Shari Miller and Tracey Campbell in 1987. Both women were strangled after Bradford took them to his home with promises of taking pictures to help their modeling careers, prosecutors said.
Bradford had asked jurors for the death sentence, saying, "think of how many you don't even know about," the radio station reported.
