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.
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."
In an interview with Nashville Scene Editor Liz Garrigan, Albie Del Favero (pictured) reveals that he still owns a "miniscule" portion of Village Voice Media, despite accepting a position as publisher of the free daily City Paper 18 months after he left the Scene. "I think I've done a really good job of getting everybody over [at the Scene] to think of The City Paper as competition," Del Favero says, "but the reality is I don't think we're that much competition with you guys. ... [The Scene is] very much a niche-oriented product with a more defined target audience." He says the City Paper will probably take a "moderately right" slant, based on its ownership and other factors. Del Favero and his partner Bruce Dobie are also still the Scene's landlords.
