Cherie Lynnette Townsend, 45 faces one count each of murder and second-degree robbery involving the killing of Susan Leeds, 66, of Rancho Palos Verdes.
A woman who was arrested two weeks after the robbery and stabbing death of a woman in a Rancho Palos Verdes mall parking structure has been ordered to stand trial, six years later. Although not the first suspect arrested for the crime, police linked Townsend to the murder shortly after it happened and there have been twists and turns with her connection to the case. She sued the county after being arrested, then she was released, then subsequently re-arrested over five years later.
Townsend was released from custody five days later after prosecutors asked law enforcement to investigate the crime further. Then-Sheriff Jim McDonnell said Townsend's vehicle, a gold 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, had been parked on the same floor. He noted then that there was still a 'tremendous amount of investigative work' to be done.
