A "CSI: Miami" Actress Crosses Paths With A Real Serial Killer

(CBS)  The hundreds of photographs are giving detectives another chance: police always believed that he began killing in 1975 and didn’t stop until he was arrested in 1984. Bradford taunted the jurors who convicted him that there were other victims, and detectives are determined to find out.

With newfound urgency, detectives pored through hundreds of old Bradford photographs; forensic artists worked their magic; and in July 2006, the L.A. Sheriff's Department was ready to attack this massive cold case.

They released a poster featuring 47 women Bradford had photographed and asked for help in identifying them. The response was immediate.

When amateur photographer Larry Gray read about the renewed investigation, he went to the Web site police set up to look at the women in Bradford’s photos. "As soon as I brought it on screen, I recognized two girls immediately and I thought - 'Oh my God, what’s going on here?'" Gray remembers.

Back in the early 1980’s, Gray was a regular at group model shoots that were held around southern California. Bradford was at some of those same shoots, but Gray has no memory of him.

Gray studied the photos online and compared them with his own photos from the shoots. In the end, he identified six of the women on the poster - all of them alive and well.

Tina Teets was one of those models. "I was shocked. I thought possibly I was mis-id’d."

"Using photography to get young girls is as old as photography," says Bozanich.

She says that back then, people simply were not as suspicious then as they are now. "You have to remember, we’re talking about the early ‘80s. Now we have all been through the last 25 years or so where we now know that perverts and weirdoes are everywhere," Bozanich says.

Monique Gabrielle also attracted the attention of Bradford "I was posing in one of the cars and he said, ‘I wanna do a shoot with you, with a car, one day. Where I can really shoot and there’s no other distractions.' I ended up calling him and talking to him on the phone a couple of times. Then he said that he was gonna shoot for a car magazine. He said it was gonna be out in the desert," she recalls.

But when Monique asked Bradford a few more questions, her gut told her something was wrong. "The more I talked to him, he just got a little stranger to me," she says.

For one, Monique says Bradford was contradicting himself when she questioned him about hair and make-up arrangements for the desert photo shoot. She decided to back out and now knows all too well that Shari Miller and Tracy Campbell went to the desert with Bradford and never returned.

Alina Thompson was just 12 when she tried her hand at modeling. Too young, she says, to be aware of who might be behind the many cameras pointing at her. For Alina, going to the group model shoots was a family affair. She went with her parents and older sister.

"Mostly it was a safe situation, my parents were there," she says.

But on one occasion, one of the men behind a camera was Bradford. 'I was taking pictures with a lot of photographers around me. And he came up to me right in the middle of me shooting and said, 'I need you to come over here with me, and I can shoot you in a better light and I can get better pictures than these guys,'" Alina remembers. "So I took off with him; there were some photographers who knew me. They went up to my mother and they told my mother, ‘Hey this photographer just took off with your little girl.'"
