Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP26088) and 5 other sources
Anita Yolanda Parker, a 37-year-old woman from Los Angeles, was last seen on November 17, 1998, in the 6000 block of Brynhurst Avenue. She has not been heard from since. Standing at 5'10" and weighing around 135 pounds, Anita was wearing a black jacket, a top, and sneakers when she disappeared. Her family and authorities suspect that she may have been one of the many victims of the notorious Grim Sleeper, a serial killer who preyed on African-American women in Los Angeles over several decades.

Lonnie David Franklin Jr., later identified as the Grim Sleeper, was convicted of multiple murders, but authorities believe he may have killed many more women, possibly up to 25. Although Anita's case has not been officially linked to Franklin, her family believes the circumstances surrounding her disappearance suggest a possible connection, especially considering the proximity of her last known location to where other victims were found.

Anita's case remains unsolved, and law enforcement continues to investigate. Family members and advocates are still searching for answers, keeping her memory alive and hoping for new information that could lead to resolution.

Last Seen: Nov 17, 1998
