That woman who said Bianchi's adoptive mother was hovering and overly worried over Bianchi's health caused Bianchi's damaged mind was off, IMO.

Let's get 1 thing STREIGHT Right here, Right now Just because ol Kenny was a constant liar didn't make him the way he was.

I’m from Southern California and I was 12 years old during that time and I’m telling you we were all scared there were several serial killers during that time. My friend David Mcvicker, is the only survivor of the freeway killer William Bonin, and his accomplices.
I feel very sorry for what you went through at that time. I lived in Kelowna British Columbia and a girl named Mindy Tran was kidnapped and murdered and is been 33 years with no result.
I'm glad this show covers a early history of the evil pairs lives. I just finished reading The Hillside Stranglers book, which I think is considered to be a complete telling, but the book really glossed over both of their younger years
I really appreciate buono died in prison. bianchi is still being supported by the tax payers...I had a bad childhood but I don't kill for gratification.
@@Cognitive__Dissonance by "complete telling" I just meant that the book I read probably contains more information on them both and their crimes/the trial than other books, articles, or videos I've consumed about them. I believe that your telling in this video is better and more relevant than the book,
California in the 70s was a hotbed of serial killers: Ed Kemper, Herbert Mullin, the Hillside Stranglers, William Bonin, Randy Kraft, Patrick Kearney, Golden State Killer, Thor Christiansen, David Carpenter, Richard Chase...
Exactly. It's cases like this are why there needs to be a death penalty in every state. These people don't deserve to live. I'd even electrocute or gas them, Lethal injection is too easy. People like these don't sit there thinking about it other than to get sexually aroused by it so letting them live does nothing . They are a waste of air and money. California has executed people for less. It's a travesty for the family.
My mother’s friend was Lauren Wagner, the 8th victim. They went to High School together and lived near each other in Sepulveda… This absolutely devastated so many people, including my Mom, my Mom’s family and Lauren’s family. Can you imagine having to hear that your daughter was just found murdered via a media circus surrounding your home?! I understand that it was a big story, but my God, the people of the media have no souls. All that matters to them is getting the story! My Mom’s family was so shaken by this, they moved away from Sepulveda. This is definitely amongst so few truly thorough accounts of the Hillside Stranglers’ reign of terror. My mother never forgot about Lauren. She was a very sweet girl and was a good friend and a great student with a bright future ahead of her. The only thing her death accomplished was that the evidence they collected from her body led to the capture of those 2 monsters. Thank God for that. We truly live in a very fallen world. My heart goes out to all of those poor victims, they were all so young. I can’t help but think of Yolanda Washington and her 3 year-old child. That young woman was probably out trying to make money to bring home milk and cereal for her baby. Her life was already hard enough… How devastating! We always get information via these documentaries about the murderers and the crimes but we almost never get to know who the victims were. I know there’s been movies and documentaries about the Hillside Stranglers, but I think it’s time for a new film about this case, one where more emphasis is put on the lives of the victims. Society is growing too immune to cases like this. People are fascinated by serial killers. Maybe if people knew more about the victims, they’d be able to better grasp just how horrific these crimes truly are. Thank you for sharing this documentary. 🙏🏻
I don't know if the victims would want to be remembered for this and if you were to run across them today, if you'd want to bring this stuff up to them. I know on social media where to find at least 2 relatives of Hillside Strangler victims (I won't say where - I don't think they'd want to be known where they can be found) but I haven't dared approach them or bring up the topic of their loved one, for fear of triggering them. That would be a terrible thing to do.
I do get your points, though, thoroughly. The public gets so much talk about animals like the Stranglers were & not much talk about who the victims were, so it's often easy to forget the victims and have sympathy for what happened to the Stranglers - imprisonment + other things. When victims start talking and being visible, people often remember who the REAL victims are and feel sympathy for the killers.
I'm sorry for your mother's loss & all Lauren's family & loved ones as well. My family & friends are friends with 2 of the girls & family. I agree that the victims deserve their stories to be told. The families lost their amazing daughters & there are siblings, best friends, & an entire communities that still loves & miss them.Their loved ones looked for them when they were missing & kidnapped. Family/friends combed the streets looking for the girls on the path they would have walked home. We have never forgotten them. I was tiny at the time but I still know the family, parents & siblings & they still suffer in silence. The 2 monsters deserve to be put under the light more aswell. For the evil disgraces & plague they are, they were not suave, most women could tell something was wrong with them & ran from them so they'd stalk girls at bus stops & at their homes. They were disgusting losers who had sick gross dispositions, even had mass temper tantrums. The women who they kidnapped (pimped out) filled out police reports on how they were sexually assault escaped their torturers but nothing was done about it. The sick cousins looked for the 2 girls that escaped but couldn't find them, instead they found another prostitute Yolanda Washington who was a single mother with a young son & killed her. They were not tough they were weak cowards who victimized girls that were tinier than them.The documentary or tv specials on stranglers or articles never fully reflect how incompetent they were. The focus always mirrors Bianchi's lies & the hideous truth about them never gets told. Which is there were more victims & near victims that escaped them. The police in our area are also notorious for not being available to our community or helpful, you're lucky if they actually answer your call. The 2 idiot stranglers were very stupid & brazen, leaving all kinds of evidence everywhere that LA detectives couldn't piece together. Once Washington State detectives had murder women in their area they retraced their victim's steps & everything came to light on the psychopath they had living there. And when the court preceedings started they were ridiculous aswell, Salacious new's reports ^ the trial went on way too long. It's one of the longest trials ever. Eventually they tore down Bono's house & business to try to end the family & our community's suffering but we all still remember. They were so ignorant they commited all their crimes locally. When a news report or a news article came out eventually my parents told me about the horrific night our friend's family & they themselves had gone through when they got the call that the girls were missing. My dad going out with tons of other parents to search for them. Then the life changing call & disbelief that the girls were found not alive, murdered. I know some who wouldn't want a truthful story to be told but there has never been justice for the girls & their truthful short life's story has not been shared individually or collectively & that's not right. It's all been swept under the rug & they deserve better than that, they deserve their stories to be highlighted & shared. The world should get to know them individually to understand what amazing souls they all are. They are more than what happened to them. They are still loved & missed by many.
@@danielleengel9752 Sorry to hear bout all the negative facts you've stated here, but I do have to state one thing...the crimes Bianchi did in Washington State were a lot easier to solve than those done by Buono & Bianchi together in L.A. The former police chief of the LAPD, Daryl Gates, once said Bob Grogan was a good investigator. And police have said Frank Salerno was also. I have to be honest...criticism of the police isn't proper here. I'm not a cop, nor do I know anyone personally that is, but the police cared about doing a good job. That's obvious...I've seen several documentaries about the Hillside Strangler through the years & it's pretty plain to see.
@@railfantrainman1000 I can criticize the police & whom ever else responsible for having them on the streets. Buono's wife & prostitutes they kidnapped & tortured went to the police & nothing was done. The police didn't take Buono in. They went to the police before our girls were killed. You have no idea what you are talking about. And I know women that survived their stalking & said nothing about them was slick, they were awkward & made disgusting comments to women always. They sounded like sickos, but the police paint them out to be masterminds & smooth talkers in interviews. They were both idiots who should have been caught a lot sooner. Watch the video of Bianchi pretending to have multiple personalities. Nothing is believable or slick about that idiot & his cousin was just as stupid as he is.
My dad and some friends walked by Judith Millers body on Halloween night in 1977 in La Crescenta. He was 10 years old at the time and assumed she was just another decoration. It wasn't until later that he saw/read about her in the newspaper that he learned the truth. it still haunts him to this day.
The 70's era was the craziest time for Serial Killers. They took their time and thought it out. Sometimes once a week or couple times a month, they kept the area on their toes. Nowadays they walk into a theater or large public event and spray bullets.
Amazing this all happened at the same time the "Son of Sam" killer, here in NYC was on his rampage. I was only eight at that time and the whole city was on edge, no one knew to make what of it. We originally called him "The 44 Caliber Killer".
This is the first Documentary/True Crime show that I have seen about the Hillside Strangler case where they covered the entire reign of terror and this is the first time where I learned that the Hillside Strangler was not just one person it was in fact two people who were cousins and all of the other shows that I have seen about the Hillside Strangler have just been about Bianci and they never said anything about the older cousin Bono who was not only more methodical and more careful carrying out his acts of terror and he was older and wiser than his cousin Bianci and if it wasn't for Bono I don't think that Bianci would've had enough nerve to go as far as killing his victims and I'm not saying that he would've turned out to be a rapist or something along those lines but in my opinion it was Bono who was raping the young girls first and then led him to killing them and then when he saw how brave Bianci had gotten Bono just kicked him to the curb so I really don't blame Bianci for telling the cops about all the crimes that his teacher/mentor/cousin had done and took Bono down with him
This is not the same story as told on other coverage. Yolanda was known to them and supposedly double crossed them giving them false information on men who solicited them.
We all have the capacity for evil. The problem lies within the human heart. To externalize evil prevents us from seeing the truth within ourselves. Only Love through the dynamic of unconditional forgiveness, will take us back to the home we never truly left. ❤
A thought: with the ambition to be a Police and having a bad nature is a sign of the person having a need to collect information, just like having jumps from city to city while still holding on to connections that could support get aways if nothing else.
Another historical similarity, Al Capone had himself a doctor's office in Chicago for a while, at least until the patients started questioning his abilities to be a doctor, and Al must have had a Police informant to let him know to leave the area before he was officially asked for his IDs. Another easy similarity is the biggest Chicago Police presentation of finding a bad police officer was the suspect gang found as trailing Jewelry sellers before stealing the Jewelry during a 10 year period. Then, Cicero, Il, west of Chicago's west border, the the Town Government was found presenting to the town people a fictitious insurance company, making someone 100s of millions of unfound dollars maybe 20 years ago. And news from California maybe 10 years ago, said they had Chicago Police being reported to be found there, but I don't think the people themselves were found. Just a generalize picture of events that support city to city like held on connections of crime - or the confident builder of getting away with rape - through get quick get rich attempts. Also about Cicero, add these murderers might have been mocking people found around Cicero, can't directly mention who, but martial artists that did or could have participated in Karate Tournaments such as against Bill Wallace. This link needs to extend itself to Washington State where a multiple Black Belt Police Officer authored a book named SPEED, that illustrates his direct sparring friend in a illustration with a knife held challenge that mocked being a double to someone who almost won Bill Wallace's championship from him. This one person's best friend at the time, is a very good double to Bianchi. (Movie making talents being overlooked?) A sign of mafia story book writers trying to collect current writing data leads without getting caught, but these types of drug store books tend to become Hollywood Movies, again leading to the NY connections tests. And Al coming to Chicago from NY had Cicero, Il as his hiding place for years to dismiss existing warrants. Al was always it seems the kind that was hard to identify after Police reports were made that cause checks of him being the same person that was actually seen. No fear leads, just real legal advice.
I feel like I could throw up just seeing this. I got stalked night after night by Angelo Buono, in Studio City , CA. That frickin monster found me as a teen working at a movie theatre on Ventura Blvd in Studio City & harrassed me for nights even chasing me in my car up Laurel Canyon with me outdriving him. It culminated the night he waited for me at the corner of the alley next to the front door of the theatre & chased me on foot to my car, with me getting in & getting the door locked seconds before he grabbed the car door handle & starting calling me every horrible name in the book. If I hadn't been running track at the time in H.S. I'd be dead now. I quit the theatre that night. At the time, I had NO idea it was one of the Hillside Stranglers thinking they were targeting prostitutes. It wasn't until 20+ years later, watching the show Criminal Minds, that I started to cry when I instantly recognized Angelo's disgusting face at the very beginning of the show as the one terrorizing me for months & who called me all the vile things he did inches from my face through the car window when he couldn't grab me. I also found out, with me being a redhead, his last victim was a redhead. Years later I went through the police academy & learned how to use firearms. (Ps I'm adopted & never hurt a soul. Infact spent my life saving people. Evil is evil is evil.)
@@railfantrainman1000 Thanks so much. I indeed made the decision, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger & I was not about to give my power over to that monster, so he actually strengthened me all the way around. I eventually went through the police academy & LOVE the 2nd amendment so all is good. Thanks for your comment.
@@lovesafrica111 Happy for you. I'd like to state here I live in Canada, not the U.S. Our violent crime rates, including sex crimes, are much lower even though the possible punishments aren't as severe (e.g. we don't have the death penalty and our prison conditions, I've been told, are better - I don't have a criminal record and never have, by the way; any knowledge I have is from what I've read). Our culture is less tolerant of any kind of violence and it's more collectivistic with more of a social net. Plus I believe the percentage of crimes committed which are solved are higher. I think our sex crime rate is something like 1/2 that of the U.S. or less. Hope if you try to educate other people what might work in terms of reducing crime, you'll remember what I've told you.
@@lovesafrica111 I hope you understand I'm not trying to be a show-off about my country or be a braggart - but rather, I'm trying to spread the word about what might work to reduce crime. My mother is U.S.-born and raised, I visit the U.S. frequently and love doing so. Don't know if I'd want to live there, though - more violence, more racism, less of a social net - and it's a terrible shame because there's so many good things about the USA. Just so you know, I'm a straight male like Angelo Buono was.
I have to put a comment. I probably have a comment here, somewhere. I’m using my moms phone. I opened an account on her phone under my name. I’ve watched uploads about these two before. I want to watch more of this, but this is my mom’s phone.💛
@@IndelibleHDAnn rule was also a friend of Ted bundy. But she didn't know what he was doing. She worked with him at a call center. I have her book on bundy
Those two girls were killed one day before my 17th birthday and not very far from where I lived. Me and the friend of mine used to walk the street late at night hoping to run into them he carried a huge butcher knife and I had a sawed off 18 shot 22 rifle there was no doubt that we would eventually run into them and almost did One night. Me and my friend we’re gang members and I don’t think nobody and you are even up this day that LAPD we’re going to different neighborhoods and giving the OK to shoot on site because they knew gang members roam the streets at night. The following year when I turned 18 I was in the county jail what do you know? There is Bono walking towards me all chained up being escorted by four deputies. He had to be closely guarded because one of the young girls that he killed was the niece of a Mexican mafia member and a member of the street gang EAST SIDE CLOVER 🍀. He was attacked in the attorney room but survived I still don’t know why they protected him so much when he was incarcerated. Anyways those were the good all days but not for everybody
This documentary doesn't even mention the strangest episode of all in the Hillside Stranglers' macabre story. In 1977, they approached 24 year-old Katherine Lorre with the intention of kidnapping and murdering her. Ms. Lorre's father was actor Peter Lorre, who gained fame by playing the first serial killer in cinematic history in Fritz Lang's 1931 German film M, and later found success in Hollywood playing creepy characters in The Maltese Falcon and other films. The Stranglers were wearing their police officer costumes and asked to see Ms. Lorre's identification, but when they realized who she was they let her go. She had no idea how close she came to becoming another murder victim until the Stranglers were caught and their mug photos splashed across the press. Sadly, Ms. Lorre died just eight years later of complications from diabetes.
Crime shows are great when it is about the victims and does not dive so deep in getting to know criminals. We just want to know what they did and how they died, if and when they get caught
Have you ever watched ‘ I Survived’ ? It’s amazing. It shows from the victim’s point of view and we get to hear the real victim talk and tell their story about how they almost died; whether it was at the hands of a serial killer, natural disaster, sexual violence, etc. it’s free on RUclips right now, I believe on A&E. I love it.
@@banditeastlick2471 truth. As a teenager I liked the ones focused on the crime, but as an adult I much prefer hearing the victim’s story. So much better and inspiring. I Survived and I Almost Died truly inspire me
@@banditeastlick2471 man my sincerest condolences. That sucks big time, but glad you’re alive. I’ve had many too. Far too many honestly and I think by the time I’d reached teenage years I was just dead inside.
Is it just me or does one of the suspects in the picture of this video look like a famous Hollywood actor. Thinking the guy from the original Starsky & Hutch tv show
How would you even approach someone as a partner in heinous crimes, even a relative? "I wanna kill people?" I just can't understand how these folks get together.
Anyone can change brakes on the car without getting dirty very simple really I guess the lady wouldn't really know much about changing brakes anyway now that I think about it
All of this horror and the victims were not given justice. All of those innocent victims were counted as nothing compared to the lives of these teo evil men. They had an opportunity to live out their lives. Unrepentant barbarians is all any society needs to see corruption. No justice, no real consequences, no speedy justice. Future criminals have nothing to fear.
To Call these crimes Animalistic is such Bull Shit, ANIMALS DON'T DO SHIT LIKE THIS TO ONE ANOTHER, ONLY HUMANS DO ! THERE IS ONLY ONE BLOODTHIRSTY, DANGEROUS BREED, HUMAN !!!
@@OklahomaSurvival1985 Predators do not kill for the fun of it like Humans do, these guys went out to kill and inflict pain on their victims, no Animal dose that, Animals fight and kill for hunting territory, food and so on, not because they were hurt as youngsters !
My great grandmother was stalked by one of them. My grandmother lives in a main city area in L.A. Now if your wondering shes fine and doing well. My Dear Abuelita is 93 by the grace of god. But she lived in a apartment and she didnt know but one of them was staring out onto my grandmas window one of the neighbors saw and told him to scram off. If your wondering how we know this he had specifically a AC DC hat and 3 months after they were caught and we found out. Kinda scary ngl
I never heard about Buono or Bianchi having an AC/DC hat, or even having anything to do with AC/DC. AC/DC wasn't known in 1977 or 1978 like it became known a few years later. Are you talking about the Night Stalker, Richard Ramirez, by any chance? Ramirez's spree happened in 1984 and 1985, by which time AC/DC was pretty much world famous.
I disagree with you when it comes to the police. They have a tough job...I've seen several documentaries of the Hillside Strangers through the years. They wanted to solve the case & kill both Buono and Bianchi. They may have made mistakes, but who doesn't? They're human beings.
It would be more credible if any of the "experts" quoted were from LA and could correctly pronounce names and places from here. It's not like we're a small town.
Just so sad for the victims and so unbelievable that people like this can even exist.. to think of all the people in this world that died this way, that were tortured and with these last horrific moments going through their mind right before death.. there's really just no words! when I hear the saying.. "life's unfair" is the biggest understatement I've ever heard of! I have problems believing in God.. I admit I'm struggling, because how evil this world can be.. If I can pray for one thing.. and God is listening. "and I did last night" It's God.. Lord in heaven.. please rid this world of evil! Please God! help us! In Lord and Jesus name we pray.. Amen.
What I mean by struggling is.. not loosing my faith. and it's sometimes SO HARD! I see too much bad then good happening in this world.. I feel like it's a losing battle with good and evil. where is God? This whole world is on a steady decline going downhill without any brakes! Because of technology accelerating at LIGHT SPEED! This current younger gen is already completely destroyed! The future leaders of the world mind you. My God we need you more now then ever..
How do you not bring up that Bianci convinced a woman in love with him to commit a murder and plant his dna to put doubt in his guilt? There’s 11 murder victims technically
Kim Breed did survive. Veronica Compton did 23 years in prison for the attempted murder (maybe should have done more)...just read Friday Compton is no longer alive...date of death October 4 2023@@phillipmartinez9232
11:42 Have you noticed this woman, who is a consultant on many of these programs, attributes EVERYTHING to "a need for control?" She is wrong. Obsession with cleanliness has more to do with revulsion for dirt and germs, plus phobia of disease and illness. It has nothing to do with "control," but this woman's obsession with the subject - whenever a MALE perpetrator is being discussed - speaks to her OWN gender bias and resentments towards men in general. Since she never has anything to contribute but accusations of "need for control," it's pointless for these shows to ask for her participation. They should stop.
Thanks to the many serial killers appearing in America's " safe" society for women today trying to start a conversation with women may land you in jail for " stalking or harassing " 🤣

The families lost their amazing daughters & there are siblings, best friends, & an entire communities that still loves & miss them.Their loved ones looked for them when they were missing & kidnapped. Family/friends combed the streets looking for the girls on the path they would have walked home. We have never forgotten them. I was tiny at the time but I still know the family, parents & siblings & they still suffer in silence. The 2 monsters deserve to be put under the light more aswell. For the evil disgraces & plague they are, they were not suave, most women could tell something was wrong with them & ran from them so they'd stalk girls at bus stops & at their homes. They were disgusting losers who had sick gross dispositions, even had mass temper tantrums. The women who they kidnapped (pimped out) filled out police reports on how they were sexually assault escaped their torturers but nothing was done about it. The sick cousins looked for the 2 girls that escaped but couldn't find them, instead they found another prostitute Yolanda Washington who was a single mother with a young son & killed her. They were not tough they were weak cowards who victimized girls that were tinier than them.The documentary or tv specials on stranglers or articles never fully reflect how incompetent they were. The focus always mirrors Bianchi's lies & the hideous truth about them never gets told. Which is there were more victims & near victims that escaped them. The police in our area are also notorious for not being available to our community or helpful, you're lucky if they actually answer your call. The 2 idiot stranglers were very stupid & brazen, leaving all kinds of evidence everywhere that LA detectives couldn't piece together. Once Washington State detectives had murder women in their area they retraced their victim's steps & everything came to light on the psychopath they had living there. And when the court preceedings started they were ridiculous aswell, Salacious new's reports ^ the trial went on way too long. It's one of the longest trials ever. Eventually they tore down Bono's house & business to try to end the family & our community's suffering but we all still remember. They were so ignorant they commited all their crimes locally. When a news report or a news article came out eventually my parents told me about the horrific night our friend's family & they themselves had gone through when they got the call that the girls were missing. My dad going out with tons of other parents to search for them. Then the life changing call & disbelief that the girls were found not alive, murdered. I know some who wouldn't want a truthful story to be told but there has never been justice for the girls & their truthful short life's story has not been shared individually or collectively & that's not right. It's all been swept under the rug & they deserve better than that, they deserve their stories to be highlighted & shared. The world should get to know them individually to understand what amazing souls they all are. They are more than what happened to them. They are still loved & missed by many.
@@danielleengel9752 Sorry to hear bout all the negative facts you've stated here, but I do have to state one thing...the crimes Bianchi did in Washington State were a lot easier to solve than those done by Buono & Bianchi together in L.A. The former police chief of the LAPD, Daryl Gates, once said Bob Grogan was a good investigator. And police have said Frank Salerno was also. I have to be honest...criticism of the police isn't proper here. I'm not a cop, nor do I know anyone personally that is, but the police cared about doing a good job. That's obvious...I've seen several documentaries about the Hillside Strangler through the years & it's pretty plain to see.
@@railfantrainman1000 I can criticize the police & whom ever else responsible for having them on the streets. Buono's wife & prostitutes they kidnapped & tortured went to the police & nothing was done. The police didn't take Buono in. They went to the police before our girls were killed. You have no idea what you are talking about. And I know women that survived their stalking & said nothing about them was slick, they were awkward & made disgusting comments to women always. They sounded like sickos, but the police paint them out to be masterminds & smooth talkers in interviews. They were both idiots who should have been caught a lot sooner. Watch the video of Bianchi pretending to have multiple personalities. Nothing is believable or slick about that idiot & his cousin was just as stupid as he is.
My dad and some friends walked by Judith Millers body on Halloween night in 1977 in La Crescenta. He was 10 years old at the time and assumed she was just another decoration. It wasn't until later that he saw/read about her in the newspaper that he learned the truth. it still haunts him to this day.
Wow.
Wow
Did they eventually tell the police? Because that would have helped with establishing a timeline of the murder.
The 70's era was the craziest time for Serial Killers. They took their time and thought it out. Sometimes once a week or couple times a month, they kept the area on their toes. Nowadays they walk into a theater or large public event and spray bullets.
Buono had 5 kids by one wife. She was killed by a grandchild.
Quite a family ...
What?! 😲
1960s to 1980s were really tough times for women and men. Predators were just roaming around..so sad.
thanks to lazy cops it was a free for all for serial killers in the U.S especially on the west coast.
Amazing this all happened at the same time the "Son of Sam" killer, here in NYC was on his rampage. I was only eight at that time and the whole city was on edge, no one knew to make what of it. We originally called him "The 44 Caliber Killer".
This is the first Documentary/True Crime show that I have seen about the Hillside Strangler case where they covered the entire reign of terror and this is the first time where I learned that the Hillside Strangler was not just one person it was in fact two people who were cousins and all of the other shows that I have seen about the Hillside Strangler have just been about Bianci and they never said anything about the older cousin Bono who was not only more methodical and more careful carrying out his acts of terror and he was older and wiser than his cousin Bianci and if it wasn't for Bono I don't think that Bianci would've had enough nerve to go as far as killing his victims and I'm not saying that he would've turned out to be a rapist or something along those lines but in my opinion it was Bono who was raping the young girls first and then led him to killing them and then when he saw how brave Bianci had gotten Bono just kicked him to the curb so I really don't blame Bianci for telling the cops about all the crimes that his teacher/mentor/cousin had done and took Bono down with him
Buono looked like Sheriff Truman from Twin Peaks.
An uglier version!
This is not the same story as told on other coverage. Yolanda was known to them and supposedly double crossed them giving them false information on men who solicited them.
it was the first time that the police actually let people drive to a lighted area before they pulled over so they felt safer
Serial killers decades of the 70s and 80s.
It was a free for all for serial killers on the west coast
Oh yeah.
@@zochbuppet448The Golden Era.
And they remain in jail happily eating walking breathing, stupid system
How would you like to be someone who could say, "One of the Hillside Stranglers was my therapist"?!
His name is not Bono (who is a singer in the band U2)
His name is Bu-ono.
Which actually means "good"
@@berits.2346 Bono was Sunny of Cher.
We all have the capacity for evil. The problem lies within the human heart. To externalize evil prevents us from seeing the truth within ourselves. Only Love through the dynamic of unconditional forgiveness, will take us back to the home we never truly left. ❤
Headass, I ain't doin this shit. And forgiveness God's job foh lmao
A thought: with the ambition to be a Police and having a bad nature is a sign of the person having a need to collect information, just like having jumps from city to city while still holding on to connections that could support get aways if nothing else.
Also add having the ability to develop false ids and make them work for a while is showing the person trained to knowing how to trap people.
Another historical similarity, Al Capone had himself a doctor's office in Chicago for a while, at least until the patients started questioning his abilities to be a doctor, and Al must have had a Police informant to let him know to leave the area before he was officially asked for his IDs. Another easy similarity is the biggest Chicago Police presentation of finding a bad police officer was the suspect gang found as trailing Jewelry sellers before stealing the Jewelry during a 10 year period. Then, Cicero, Il, west of Chicago's west border, the the Town Government was found presenting to the town people a fictitious insurance company, making someone 100s of millions of unfound dollars maybe 20 years ago. And news from California maybe 10 years ago, said they had Chicago Police being reported to be found there, but I don't think the people themselves were found. Just a generalize picture of events that support city to city like held on connections of crime - or the confident builder of getting away with rape - through get quick get rich attempts. Also about Cicero, add these murderers might have been mocking people found around Cicero, can't directly mention who, but martial artists that did or could have participated in Karate Tournaments such as against Bill Wallace. This link needs to extend itself to Washington State where a multiple Black Belt Police Officer authored a book named SPEED, that illustrates his direct sparring friend in a illustration with a knife held challenge that mocked being a double to someone who almost won Bill Wallace's championship from him. This one person's best friend at the time, is a very good double to Bianchi. (Movie making talents being overlooked?) A sign of mafia story book writers trying to collect current writing data leads without getting caught, but these types of drug store books tend to become Hollywood Movies, again leading to the NY connections tests. And Al coming to Chicago from NY had Cicero, Il as his hiding place for years to dismiss existing warrants. Al was always it seems the kind that was hard to identify after Police reports were made that cause checks of him being the same person that was actually seen. No fear leads, just real legal advice.
Jeez! What disgusting monsters!
I feel like I could throw up just seeing this. I got stalked night after night by Angelo Buono, in Studio City , CA. That frickin monster found me as a teen working at a movie theatre on Ventura Blvd in Studio City & harrassed me for nights even chasing me in my car up Laurel Canyon with me outdriving him. It culminated the night he waited for me at the corner of the alley next to the front door of the theatre & chased me on foot to my car, with me getting in & getting the door locked seconds before he grabbed the car door handle & starting calling me every horrible name in the book. If I hadn't been running track at the time in H.S. I'd be dead now. I quit the theatre that night. At the time, I had NO idea it was one of the Hillside Stranglers thinking they were targeting prostitutes. It wasn't until 20+ years later, watching the show Criminal Minds, that I started to cry when I instantly recognized Angelo's disgusting face at the very beginning of the show as the one terrorizing me for months & who called me all the vile things he did inches from my face through the car window when he couldn't grab me. I also found out, with me being a redhead, his last victim was a redhead. Years later I went through the police academy & learned how to use firearms. (Ps I'm adopted & never hurt a soul. Infact spent my life saving people. Evil is evil is evil.)
Oh my god that's insane
Hope life is treating you well now & that experience with that animal didn't traumatize you too much.
@@railfantrainman1000 Thanks so much. I indeed made the decision, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger & I was not about to give my power over to that monster, so he actually strengthened me all the way around. I eventually went through the police academy & LOVE the 2nd amendment so all is good. Thanks for your comment.
@@lovesafrica111 Happy for you. I'd like to state here I live in Canada, not the U.S. Our violent crime rates, including sex crimes, are much lower even though the possible punishments aren't as severe (e.g. we don't have the death penalty and our prison conditions, I've been told, are better - I don't have a criminal record and never have, by the way; any knowledge I have is from what I've read). Our culture is less tolerant of any kind of violence and it's more collectivistic with more of a social net. Plus I believe the percentage of crimes committed which are solved are higher. I think our sex crime rate is something like 1/2 that of the U.S. or less. Hope if you try to educate other people what might work in terms of reducing crime, you'll remember what I've told you.
@@lovesafrica111 I hope you understand I'm not trying to be a show-off about my country or be a braggart - but rather, I'm trying to spread the word about what might work to reduce crime. My mother is U.S.-born and raised, I visit the U.S. frequently and love doing so. Don't know if I'd want to live there, though - more violence, more racism, less of a social net - and it's a terrible shame because there's so many good things about the USA. Just so you know, I'm a straight male like Angelo Buono was.
"It wasn't me officer I swear, it was Steve Walker.."
"Yeah, nice try Steve WOP-er"
He was a security guard at the Fred Meyer on Lakeway in Bellingham
I have to put a comment. I probably have a comment here, somewhere. I’m using my moms phone. I opened an account on her phone under my name. I’ve watched uploads about these two before. I want to watch more of this, but this is my mom’s phone.💛
Anne Rule wrote a book about these folks
No she didn't
@@kaylove8663 Yes
Is there actually any serial killer she has NOT written a book about?
@@IndelibleHDAnn rule was also a friend of Ted bundy. But she didn't know what he was doing. She worked with him at a call center. I have her book on bundy
Those two girls were killed one day before my 17th birthday and not very far from where I lived. Me and the friend of mine used to walk the street late at night hoping to run into them he carried a huge butcher knife and I had a sawed off 18 shot 22 rifle there was no doubt that we would eventually run into them and almost did One night. Me and my friend we’re gang members and I don’t think nobody and you are even up this day that LAPD we’re going to different neighborhoods and giving the OK to shoot on site because they knew gang members roam the streets at night. The following year when I turned 18 I was in the county jail what do you know? There is Bono walking towards me all chained up being escorted by four deputies. He had to be closely guarded because one of the young girls that he killed was the niece of a Mexican mafia member and a member of the street gang EAST SIDE CLOVER 🍀. He was attacked in the attorney room but survived I still don’t know why they protected him so much when he was incarcerated. Anyways those were the good all days but not for everybody

This documentary doesn't even mention the strangest episode of all in the Hillside Stranglers' macabre story. In 1977, they approached 24 year-old Katherine Lorre with the intention of kidnapping and murdering her. Ms. Lorre's father was actor Peter Lorre, who gained fame by playing the first serial killer in cinematic history in Fritz Lang's 1931 German film M, and later found success in Hollywood playing creepy characters in The Maltese Falcon and other films. The Stranglers were wearing their police officer costumes and asked to see Ms. Lorre's identification, but when they realized who she was they let her go. She had no idea how close she came to becoming another murder victim until the Stranglers were caught and their mug photos splashed across the press. Sadly, Ms. Lorre died just eight years later of complications from diabetes.
A disturbing movie, but a memorable role played by Peter Lorre
OMG I love Peter Lorre. What strange coincidences.
I read the book back in school (yes I was the weird one) I just think it’s weird that people don’t cover this more
you should do one on the Chanon Christian/Christopher Newsom 2007 case where they were murdered by 5 blacks in Knoxville.
That case was beyond horrific. I remember hearing about it. My God!
@@willfade7994
Did u hear about what happened the year after of Jennifer Hampton who was murdered by the 3 illegal aliens???
so scary, the serial killer are horrible
“Let’s try Hollywood again.”
The psychic that said she thought it was two Italian brothers in their 30's was shockingly close to the truth.
These shows must have poor budgets. The actors look nothing like the killers.
Go watch National Geographic then.
@@IndelibleHD I’m just saying it could be a little better. I didn’t sense any fear watching these two clods.
So I noticed. Really horrible fits.
Crime shows are great when it is about the victims and does not dive so deep in getting to know criminals. We just want to know what they did and how they died, if and when they get caught
Have you ever watched ‘ I Survived’ ? It’s amazing. It shows from the victim’s point of view and we get to hear the real victim talk and tell their story about how they almost died; whether it was at the hands of a serial killer, natural disaster, sexual violence, etc. it’s free on RUclips right now, I believe on A&E. I love it.
@@beautyfrompainxxx i remember when it first came out. I agree, way better than giving so much thought for a criminal.
@@banditeastlick2471 truth. As a teenager I liked the ones focused on the crime, but as an adult I much prefer hearing the victim’s story. So much better and inspiring. I Survived and I Almost Died truly inspire me
@@beautyfrompainxxx i lived and seen a lot of those kind of moments. I only wanted one thing out of the criminals, time and death of execution
@@banditeastlick2471 man my sincerest condolences. That sucks big time, but glad you’re alive. I’ve had many too. Far too many honestly and I think by the time I’d reached teenage years I was just dead inside.

How would you even approach someone as a partner in heinous crimes, even a relative? "I wanna kill people?" I just can't understand how these folks get together.
Anyone can change brakes on the car without getting dirty very simple really I guess the lady wouldn't really know much about changing brakes anyway now that I think about it
Is it just me or does this narrator come off like he is calling a sporting event in the intro? It's quite disturbing.
Yeah some of the British narrations come across as awfully sensationalistic.
why oj got away with it
All of this horror and the victims were not given justice. All of those innocent victims were counted as nothing compared to the lives of these teo evil men.
They had an opportunity to live out their lives. Unrepentant barbarians is all any society needs to see corruption. No justice, no real consequences, no speedy justice. Future criminals have nothing to fear.

My great grandmother was stalked by one of them. My grandmother lives in a main city area in L.A. Now if your wondering shes fine and doing well. My Dear Abuelita is 93 by the grace of god. But she lived in a apartment and she didnt know but one of them was staring out onto my grandmas window one of the neighbors saw and told him to scram off. If your wondering how we know this he had specifically a AC DC hat and 3 months after they were caught and we found out. Kinda scary ngl
I never heard about Buono or Bianchi having an AC/DC hat, or even having anything to do with AC/DC. AC/DC wasn't known in 1977 or 1978 like it became known a few years later. Are you talking about the Night Stalker, Richard Ramirez, by any chance? Ramirez's spree happened in 1984 and 1985, by which time AC/DC was pretty much world famous.
What's really scary is that Bonin was operating at the same time
I agree
Randy Kraft was too. No one was safe back then. Must have been terrifying.
One of Rodney Alcala's victims were once labeled as Bianchi and Bouno's victim. He was operating near Glendale as well.
The most human people in this story are the girls and the ants. The stranglers and the police are far below the two listed above in terms of decency.
Ants are insects 🐜😂
I disagree with you when it comes to the police. They have a tough job...I've seen several documentaries of the Hillside Strangers through the years. They wanted to solve the case & kill both Buono and Bianchi. They may have made mistakes, but who doesn't? They're human beings.
It would be more credible if any of the "experts" quoted were from LA and could correctly pronounce names and places from here. It's not like we're a small town.
That British accent though😂 I can’t get pass 5 mins of it

@@RebeleneM You'd probably love my finnish accent....not! 😂
1:45 in. Can't watch. Narrator's voice is highly annoying.
Just so sad for the victims and so unbelievable that people like this can even exist.. to think of all the people in this world that died this way, that were tortured and with these last horrific moments going through their mind right before death.. there's really just no words! when I hear the saying.. "life's unfair" is the biggest understatement I've ever heard of! I have problems believing in God.. I admit I'm struggling, because how evil this world can be.. If I can pray for one thing.. and God is listening. "and I did last night" It's God.. Lord in heaven.. please rid this world of evil! Please God! help us! In Lord and Jesus name we pray.. Amen.
What I mean by struggling is.. not loosing my faith. and it's sometimes SO HARD! I see too much bad then good happening in this world.. I feel like it's a losing battle with good and evil. where is God? This whole world is on a steady decline going downhill without any brakes! Because of technology accelerating at LIGHT SPEED! This current younger gen is already completely destroyed! The future leaders of the world mind you. My God we need you more now then ever..
There is NO God when a child can be hurt like this....I Said what I said

There may be a god, but probably not one that is concerned about human well-being. More like one that's just indifferent.
@@IndelibleHDjust saying that doesn't make it true.

😽😽😅 The hillside strikes again
11:42 Have you noticed this woman, who is a consultant on many of these programs, attributes EVERYTHING to "a need for control?" She is wrong. Obsession with cleanliness has more to do with revulsion for dirt and germs, plus phobia of disease and illness. It has nothing to do with "control," but this woman's obsession with the subject - whenever a MALE perpetrator is being discussed - speaks to her OWN gender bias and resentments towards men in general. Since she never has anything to contribute but accusations of "need for control," it's pointless for these shows to ask for her participation. They should stop.
Thanks to the many serial killers appearing in America's " safe" society for women today trying to start a conversation with women may land you in jail for " stalking or harassing " 🤣
