Last week Los Angeles police announced that they had solved the five murders and three others as well. If they are correct, the alleged murderers were even stranger and more bizarre than their crimes. The police case was based on the tale of an accused murderer, Susan Denise Atkins, 21.

After two years of investigations, the commission charged that torture and ill treatment of political prisoners amounted to an "administrative practice...
