Councilman Donnagher, who is the only
member to vote against the proposal...
said he was not at all convinced
that the proposed site...
was the only suitable place
for such a facility.
He went on to say that
this is not the first time...
the utilities commission
has come up with a site...
that it insisted was the only suitable place.
In South Los Angeles,
the body of a woman was found in an alley...
behind a row of abandoned automobiles.
She was identified
as 68-year-old Margaret Howard.
She'd been shot in the head
at close range.
Eyewitness News reporter Chuck Hurley...
this appears to be the work
of the same person or persons...
who have committed a series of similar attacks
in the area in the past few weeks.
She had apparently cashed her welfare check
about a block and a half away...
at, uh, approximately 4:00 in the afternoon.
She was shot at close enough range...
with a.38 caliber bullet
Forensics estimates the time of death...
at somewhere between 4:00 and 6:00 p. m.
Do you have any suspects?
No. Not really.
Five elderly women have been murdered
and robbed in this area in the past two months.
Is one man responsible for all of them?
Well, we haven't finished
our ballistics check yet...
except that all of the other victims
were shot with a.38...
all were robbed of their welfare checks...
all were killed in the afternoon.
The ballistics on the first four match.
I expect they will on this one.
Anyone with any information
on the Southside Killer...
should call our
Eyewitness hotline number.
555-4545.
You don't have to give your name.
The only possible lead
reported by the police...
is two people who claim
they saw a male Chicano leaving the alley...
at around 4:
30 p. m.He is described as in his mid-20s...
approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall
and slender.
600,000 to catch a goddamn baseball.
Now we gotta worry that he's sensitive.
Sh*t. You give me 600,000,
you can call me any name you want.
Sh*t. You give me 600,000,
you can call me any name you want.
You gotta know how to
handle your personnel...
you know, get the best out of them.
- Where?
- Green jacket.
- You know him?
- No.
So what about him?
I don't know. What's he doing bopping around
6:
00 in the morning? Tell me that?Maybe he's coming from a physics lab at USC.
Right. Let's check him out.
- Aw, are you shitting me?
- This dude ain't right.
- Oh. You got a hunch, right?
- Right.
- Instinct, right?
- Right.
You're watching too much television again.
Wonderful.
- Wait! Don't touch it!
- Is it wired?
No, no. Of course not.
You just can't search it. We need a warrant.
- Right.
- For real.
- You're crazy.
- Probably, except we need a warrant.
I know because
it happened to me once before.
How about if I knock on the garbage can...
and identify myself as a police officer...
and the can gives me consent?
You can fart around all you want.
The guy's garbage can is his private property
and we need a warrant.
I don't believe this.
We got a pile of slime...
making tracks as soon as he sees us.
He stops long enough
to drop something in a garbage can.
Think he just can't stand to litter?
You also think we're gonna get a warrant
in the next 30 seconds...
because that's when the can
is going in the truck.
Time out. I got it.
This can is going to that truck.
We can't search this can...
But we can search the truck.
We're talkin' genius here.
Don't pull no lever. Police.
Join the police and see the world.
