The body of 36-year-old Yvonne Anita Bridges was found in an industrial area of South Los Angeles and, although the Southside Serial Killer Task Force was called to the scene, a police spokesman said Newton Division homicide detectives have been assigned to the case. The slaying did not appear to be linked to the 17 murders under investigation by the special team, officers said. Lt. Dan Cooke said Bridges, a Los Angeles resident, apparently had been stabbed in the upper chest.

After a preliminary investigation, the Southside Serial Killer Task Force did not link the death of an unidentified woman whose body was found in an industrial area of Torrance to the serial killer who has slain as many as 17 women, most of them black prostitutes, since September, 1983, Torrance Police Lt. Harv Siegel said. "They came out to view the body, but chose not to continue an investigation," Siegel said. "Torrance police will continue an independent investigation."
