KARI LYNN LENANDER

Motion - On July 26, 1980 the Los Angeles Police Department found the deceased body of Ms. Kari Lynn Lenander near the Coliseum. She had been brutally murdered. Recently, with advanced Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) testing capabilities, the case has been reopened. The Police Department is requesting the public's help in solving this crime. The suspect(s) responsible for this crime represent(s) an ongoing threat to the safety of the people of Los Angeles; therefore it is appropriate for the City Council to offer a reward for information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the murder of Ms. Lenander. THEREFORE MOVE that, by adoption of this motion, the City Council provide an offer of reward for information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the murder of Ms. Kari Lynn Lenander, on July 26, 1980, and in support thereof make the following findings pursuant to Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC): 1. That the assault and murder of Ms. Kari Lynn Lenander was caused by the willful misconduct of one or more persons. 2. That this offer of reward is consistent with and taken for the immediate protection of the public peace, health and safety of local residents, as well as visitors to the City, and is consistent with the need to arrest and convict the person or persons who, because of not being apprehended, could by their actions further terrorize and present a continuing and immediate menace to the rights of persons in the City. 3. That the assault and murder of Ms. Kari Lynn Lenander is an especially disturbing crime and therefore, as a matter of public policy, the City hereby offers a reward as an added inducement for persons to come forward with information leading to the identification, apprehension and convictions of the person(s) responsible for assault and murder. 4. That the sum of $25,000 shall be the aggregate maximum sum of any payment or payments of a City reward in this instance. 5. That the offer of reward shall be in effect for sixty days from the date of the advertisement of the reward by the City Clerk. FURTHER MOVE that the City Clerk be directed to cause notices and/or advertisements to be duly published according to the requirements of Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code, and to thereby cause the offer of reward to become effective.
