>>Reporter, cop, killer: the eternal triangle of tabloid journalism, pulp fiction, and film noir. Turn them loose in Los Angeles, cue up the Coltrane, watch their taillights disappear down Sunset. The cop is LAPD homicide detective Dennis Kilcoyne, at 54 still rangy and vital, but burdened by decades of sifting the muck of human depravity in search of prosecutable felonies. In a dark suit and black sunglasses, at the wheel of his silver Lincoln, he could pass for a Hollywood player on the make, but in the bleary fluorescent glare of his office, his eyes—the weary, puffy eyes of someone not about to spend six grand on an eyelid tuck—give him away. The reporter, Christine Pelisek of LA Weekly, is "late 30ish or maybe a little past," as she puts it, a slender, stylishly dressed blonde, blue eyes still wide with amazement at the tragicomic panoply of folly and greed she is lucky enough to witness.<<

If you read the rest of the article you can tell that Elroy does not like nor respect this reporter of LA WEEKLY.

No he does not, and one can think of her as a tabloid reporter and LA WEEKLY as a rag. But she did reveal a story that has been mostly in the dark for many many years.

Did Christine Pelisek do the comunity a favor, or aid the killer? Is she self-serving or what?

By the way, she is a Canadian native :-()
