Background: On December 16, 2010, the Los Angeles Police Department took the unprecedented and highly controversial step of releasing 180 tightly cropped photographs of unidentified women discovered in the home of arrested serial killer Lonnie Franklin Jr., which were subsequently featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times. Culled from a hidden cache of thousands of photos and home videos found during Franklin’s arrest, the LAPD chose public exposure after months of failing to match the women to missing persons registries or coroner records. The significance of this event was twofold: practically, it galvanized the public to quickly identify dozens of the women—proving the vast majority were alive and well—while providing prosecutors with critical evidence regarding Franklin's continuous behavior during his supposed 14-year "sleep" or killing hiatus. Symbolically, the media release represented a harrowing compromise between investigative necessity and victim privacy, as detectives painstakingly cropped sexually explicit or unconscious poses down to just the faces to avoid further exploitation, marking a watershed moment in how law enforcement crowdsources the identification of potential victims in high-profile serial murder investigations.
