Los Angeles (CNN) — Visitors to the Los Angeles Police Department website have identified five women depicted in photographs found in a suspected serial killer’s home this summer, but police need to independently confirm those claims, spokeswoman Norma Eisenman said Friday.
Authorities would not say whether those women are alive or dead, Eisenman said.
A website displaying the photos received 10 million hits in 24 hours after police asked for assistance in naming more than 100 women depicted in 180 photos, which police released Thursday, Eisenman said. Some women were featured in more than one picture, police said.
