New body count blog launches
The LA Weekly last week launched its Murder was the Case blog. It's introductory paragraph says it aims to write about every homicide in the City of Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Times took on a similar charge a couple years ago with its Homicide Report, which attempts to document every homicide in the County as reported by the Coroner's Department. The Times' blog proved very successful in its first year, and very tiring for it's original keeper. Now, it seems several people contribute.
