Redondo Beach has long been overshadowed by its smaller, but wealthier neighboring beach cities, Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach.
Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand appears intent on changing that, based on his State of the City address last Thursday.
LOS ANGELES Fourteen years ago, police in Redondo Beach were called to a hospital where a woman had come after waking up in a stranger’s bed, naked and with no memory of what had happened. She believed she had been raped.

LOS ANGELES Fourteen years ago, police in Redondo Beach were called to a hospital where a woman had come after waking up in a stranger’s bed, naked and with no memory of what had happened. She believed she had been raped.
An examination confirmed she’d had sex with a man. Police uploaded his DNA profile to a law enforcement database and, a few years later, it matched to a name: Paul Ruben Flores.
Redondo detectives opened a rape investigation into Flores. Although he was not charged in the case, the DNA hit sounded alarms 200 miles north in San Luis Obispo, where Flores was the prime suspect in the enduring mystery of Kristin Smart’s disappearance and presumed death.

A police spokesperson said officers responded to the 600 block of Artesia Boulevard around 7:10 a.m. Thursday where they found a woman with a knife near the Chase Bank located at the Uptown Commons retail development.
Police were able to deescalate the situation and safely detain the woman, the spokesperson said. The department’s mental health evaluation team assisted with the investigation.
No injuries were reported and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
