Princess Cheyanne Berthomieux was 15 when she was found dead in an alley in Inglewood, California, on March 19, 2002. The coroner determined cause of death was asphyxia due to strangulation; the report noted she had been beaten and was found nude in the shrubs after having been missing since December 21, 2001.

Investigators later linked her killing to the serial offender known as the Grim Sleeper, Lonnie David Franklin Jr. DNA evidence connected Franklin to multiple victims, and he was arrested on July 7, 2010. He was charged with ten counts of murder; prosecutors said he was eligible for the death penalty. Franklin was convicted in May 2016 of ten murders and one attempted murder, with Princess identified as the ninth victim, and was sentenced to death in August 2016.

What information about Princess’s life or last known movements might still help anyone who remembers her to come forward?
