Her name was Lana Cooper. She was a 33-year-old prostitute.
-
Her body was found by a boy walking his dog in Griffith Park.
-
Ligature marks on her wrists and ankles. She was restrained.
-
And he gave her a complete hysterectomy.
-
The uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, all removed.
-
A little crude, but he cut all the right ligaments.
-
He knew what he was doing.
-
What about her throat?
-
That was done postmortem. He cut out her vocal cords.
-
Might be a symbolic way of keeping her silent.
-
So she was alive when he performed the hysterectomy.
-
Anything in her stomach?
