Armed robbers ambushed Cross and
her partner, Lloyd Bulman, as they conducted surveillance in a
counterfeiting investigation.
Cross got out of the car and
pulled her .357-caliber revolver, but Alexander disarmed her, grabbed
the shotgun from her car and shot her at point-blank range.
Bulman was thrown to the ground.
Shotgun pellets hit him, but narrowly missed his head.
Nothing happened for 12 years in
the case until Alexander was arrested as a suspect in the 1978 killings
of a counterfeit money order printer, his girlfriend and another man in
Palms.
The investigator in that case, Los
Angeles police Detective Richard “Buck” Henry, came across the composite
drawing of the Cross suspect and recognized Alexander, a former
classmate at Venice High School.
Alexander
already was serving three life terms for the Palms killings when he
received his death sentence.
