Do you have any information about The Original Night Stalker case?


The Original Nightstalker
In the 1980s, a serial killer prowled the posh streets of Orange County. Police were unaware of the serial attacks until 1996, when DNA revealed the killer's secret and they linked four murders to a single DNA profile. Detectives uncovered three more crimes attributed to the man dubbed "The Original Night Stalker" before learning he had an earlier career as a serial rapist! Watch as cold case detectives compare the attacker's DNA with nearly every convicted violent offender in California.

Lisa Michelle Lambert deserves to ROT in Prison...
First of all, Lisa Michelle Lambert was responsible for the murder/death of Laurie Show. Regardless what anyone thinks, and defends she was the one who convinced her boyfriend and female friend to murder her. Michelle slit her throat.....she should die in Prison and never been eligable for parole!!!
