Chicago, IL


Residents from Chicago' s New City neighborhood can be forgiven for not being too relieved that convicted killer/rapist Andre Crawford is eligible for the death penalty.

47-year-old Crawford was found guilty of 11 murders, nine rapes and an attempted murder in a Chicago trial last week.

The reason is they have heard "we got the killer" before. They heard it for years in the South Side neighborhoods of Englewood and New City but the murders of vulnerable women during the 1990's continued.

In fact, in the same neighborhood and time period Crawford preyed, police charged Hubert Geralds Jr., with six murders, Geoffrey Griffin with one murder--suspecting him of eight more-and Gregory Clepper with fourteen murders.

At one point, police said three killers were murdering women within 12 blocks of each other--two in the same abandoned building.
