Woodland Hills Week in Review: Murder, Child Sex Crimes and More

With much of Southern California news dedicated to the capture of suspected murderer Christopher Dorner this week and the funerals and memorials of his victims this week, there were also important stories local to the Woodland Hills/San Fernando Valley area this week. Just in case you missed them, here are our top five stories.

• A woman was found dead in a Woodland Hills home on Thursday night. Her daughter was arrested in Oregon on Friday, as the suspected shooter, according to authorities.
• As well, crimes were up in general in the area this week. Within a two-mile radius of Topanga Canyon and Ventura boulevards, there were 34 significant crimes between Feb. 4 and 10.
• A North Hills women suspected of child pornography and sex trafficking-related crimes was indicted on four counts this week: conspiracy to produce child pornography, production of child pornography, conspiracy to engage in child sex trafficking and sex trafficking of children.
• Woodland Hills' State Senate representative, Fran Pavley, introduced legislation that would require counties to designate certain state higher education campuses as their own elections precints. Pierce College, however, would not be included in the edict.
• And, on Valentine's Day, we had some fun looking at (and though we didn't print the worst of them, we found we've got some racey folks in Woodland Hills!).
