Season 5, Episode 1: Enietra Washington

Enietra Washington was a 27 year old mother of two and was intended to the Grim Sleeper's 8th murder victim. On November 19, 1988 she walked to her friend's house. They were suppose to go to a party together, but Enietra never made it to her friend's. A guy in an orange Pinto stopped and asked if he could give her a ride. She politely declined several time, but he made her feel sorry for him, so she got in the car.  Without warning he shot her point blank, but against all odds, she survived. Even though she gave Police a description of the guy and the car, her case went cold.
 Mostly due to police and media indifference to the murders of young black women in the South L.A. neighborhood, the Grim Sleeper was able to kill undetected for over two decades. Finally in 2010 the police caught this guy through a familial DNA match.
And as the only confirmed survivor of the Grim Sleeper, Enietra's testimony was crucial in finally getting one of L.A.'s most prolific serial killers off the streets.
