Those evil bastards killed my friend, Lauren Wagner. I grew up with her all thru high school, we had graduated only a few months before they took her. She was well liked, a real sweetheart, and after forty five years it still hurts and confuses everyone who knew her. Rest in peace, my friend.
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.
🤍🤍🤍🙏🙏🙏
I’m so sorry 😢😢😢
Damn, that's really heavy. Can't even imagine.
@@HardwiredZ06 It was a hell of a thing to happen. They grabbed her just a few miles from where I lived. It could've been any of the girls we grew up with, but Lauren just happened to be convenient for those animals.
I’m a few months late here, but thank you for covering this story. Sadly, my Mother’s friend, Lauren Wagner, was a victim… They went to High School together and Lauren was a very sweet girl and a good student, according to my Mom. She was a pretty red-headed girl. Lauren was taken from just outside of her home in Sepulveda by the two who claimed they were undercover police officers… At that time, my Mom lived just a couple blocks away from where Lauren lived and had been abducted. My family was so shaken, they ended up selling their house there and left the area, though my Great Grandmother also owned a home there and she stayed. This story still haunts my Mom all these years later. She doesn’t like to talk about it. I’m glad to know people haven’t forgotten about those 2 sick bastards and thank you for talking about Lauren. She was actually the 8th victim and when police went to tell her family the devastating news, the media had beat them to it and were already there hoping for an interview with her family. Imagine how devastated they must’ve been… This story will always get to me because this was my Mom’s friend and could’ve easily been my Mom…What the Hillside Stranglers’ victims went through is unimaginable. Those 2 demons destroyed a lot of lives and a lot of families forever. God rest the souls of those poor victims.
In the mid-1970's, my friend Sue went to their upholstery shop in Glendale to get an estimate. She talked with Kenneth Bianchi. Everything about him and the place creeped her out so completely, she left immediately.
Rest in peace to everyone who lost their lives
Born in 71, grew up in the area, and still live here. This is was so terrifying back then, I feared for my mom and sister (and myself let's be real) every time they left the house. Watching the news was a nightmare. Then we experienced it all again in 84/85 with Ramirez.
😰 That would of been so traumatic to go through the fear of both killers.
Yeah same here with Hillside especially since my mom had some friend of a friend friend's connection with one of the victims. There was a student in my school who had been harassed by two men in a car while the killers were active. Ramirez was scary. My sister and I were alone in our parents' house so my mom hired a male UCLA student to stay with us when they were out of town.
@@radfem2010 I hope those friends are doing ok. It is good that your parents made sure you and your sister were safe.
Was the house still standing in the mid 90s ? . I was born in 1989 and I lived until area up till 1995 . Then we relocated to the other side of Glendale by the 5 freeway
Isn't it sad we have to live with fear. Especially women!💔
I was 12-13 yrs old when this all went on. I didn't live in "LA" but in LA county. South of it . Thank God. But, my heart goes out to the victim's and their family's. I wish this and all past tragedy's never happened.😥 Love to you both. Thank you for loving all about Hollywood and all she has to bring in History. 🥰
I was close in age,grew up mostly in Newport Beach and Santa Monica.I think the news on the subject affected my worldview(and took my appetite).At the time,Los Angeles punk was gaining momentum and an early band had a song called Hillside Strangler.
I lived through that. Both my sister-in-law & I had jobs that we were driving home late @ night. My hubs worried more about her: she was more trusting & drove a car. I drove a '66 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup & had more attitude.
Years later I had someone light me up as if they were police. When they approached the car & realized I wasn't alone (hubs had reclined his seat, not feeling well) they took off. I drove to the closest county sheriff station & reported it.
Stay alert out there...
😰 I'm glad you reported it, I hope they used that information and glad that you missed a close encounter
Thank you for this stroll down true crimes lane. RIP to those that lost their lives.
you are a Great Storyteller Michael. very fascinating what can be uncovered and told by certain people like yourself. keep up the great work
Totally agree 👍
I grew up in Long Beach and a buddy of mine was from Glendale. He bought a '64 Chevy convertible that needed a new top and Buono did the work. My friend lived just a couple of blocks away and he's still in shock about the whole thing to this day. He still has the car and calls it the "Buono Mobile". How many guys own a car that a serial killer worked on?
Very sad, but you can’t change history. May they rest in peace. Thank you as always.
I moved to LA in 2015 from a neighboring (much safer) county and have lived near the NELA neighborhoods where several of the victims bodies were dumped. This entire area has always had a very dark and malevolent energy for me personally. Knowing more about the crimes that happened in this area, it makes total sense.
Even on a sunny day, there is just this palpable air of doom around here. I have never felt completely comfortable living here. I feel like something dark is always in the air.
Great footage I have never seen before. Buono walking out when cops are honking. Awesome
Another great true crime video, Michael. The gentleman was correct - these things never really disappear. The horror and aftermath may fade over time, but still always remain. The only thing we can all hope to gain is education and awareness - monsters will always live among us. Love to you and Jessica - glad you made it home from your long trip safe and sound! 💚
That "California Soul" song that they play during the trailer is one of the baddest songs from the late 60's and I've always thought it would make a badass intro song for a film about Cali.
Awesome video! My mom was raised in Glendale and actually worked with a woman who was married to Peter buono, who was the nephew of Angelo buono. And in her square dancing class she knew a woman who was murdered by them. She was found in Angeles crest national forest. My moms dance class had to go in packs and escort people out in groups. Very scary.
My mom also had sex with him and she was a Glendale resident
Love the ones where you line up old shots to present day scenes.
Born in 72 and lived right down Colorado Blvd in Eagle Rock. Vaguely remember being afraid of the hillside stranglers, but for me Ramirez was the creature of my nightmares.
I moved to Hawthorne in 1977 at age 13 from Pismo Beach. Seen reports about all the murders while they were going on. Of course we walked everywhere as kids. We just went in larger groups to like the mall or movies. Moved back to Pismo Beach the summer of 1978. We missed the small town feel and being so close to the ocean also not having to worry about serial killers. It was a scary living in LA at that time. We still drive to LA sometimes but it’s nice to live in a smaller town. Thanks Michael for another great video
Micheal and Jessica even thou i live in the uk i do remember this case . very sad for the familys and thankyou for another tour many thanks to u both
Rest in peace Lauren and may God bless your family and keep them safe… I don’t know how they deal with that every minute of every day of every week of every month of every year it’s constant pain. I hope God can relieve the pain from the family and friends.
One of the best Hillside Strangler documentaries EVER!! Lots of new photos & video footage I've never seen before. My only complaint is IT WASN'T LONG ENOUGH
Such a sad case. I remember picking up the book Two Of A Kind by Darcy O'Brien back in 1985 (I still have it) lol
I couldn't believe the things that Buono an Bianchi did to those girl's. The innocent lives that were takin was senseless. They were monsters. It still appalls me to this day what those two did.
While much focus is on the homicidal cousin's, let's not for get the victims, God rest their souls.

I have to very same book I bought it at a yard sale about 7 yrs ago and its absolutely horrifying
@@Volaris27 I agree just horrible
12!!!, omg all the women didn't deserve any of this.
I read it too at that time. The torture of Yolanda Washington was appalling. I've never forgotten it.
@@giovanna722 Neither did I. 😞
From creator to creator I don't know how you got this video monetized, just with the hoops I know I have to go though with my videos. But its a great video.. Always happy when you make a video friend..
some channels are more equal than others ;)
These are definitely my favorite videos that you do. Telling real stories about crime and haunted locations.
I grew up in Glendale, California & I was about 16 yrs old when the Hillside Stranglers were in the
NEWS & I was so HAPPY & RELIEVED when the Police caught them. GOD BLESS ALL THEIR VICTIMS & EVERYONE WHO LOVES THEM ❤️🙏
Hi Michael, just a heads up.. RUclips has been demonitizing videos that have crime scene photos. Even 50 year old photos. Great video, as usual. You and Jess are the best!
Thanks for plugging the documentary on Hulu. I really liked it. Surprised, though, that they talked about the freeway killer and not Randy Kraft, the scorecard killer. For a while they didn't know that there were 2 separate killers.
That's so sad. Seems like it just keeps getting worse and worse, but I'm glad they caught him. Thank you Micheal for sharing this story. I've never heard about this before. I feel bad for so many homeless people today too. I pray for all of them.
Another great video guys. May all their victims RIP.
Hi Michael, hope all is well with you and Jessica. It just never ends does it? So sad all of those innocent people 😞
I been waiting for this michael & Jessica love true crime story loves movie aswell u guys awesome
Absolutely love you guys, your presentation and your content!!! Always excited when I see the notification of a new video!!! 🤘🏻
Thanks for the look into some disturbing history thank you grim life collective
I clicked so fast, love you guys! ❤
Always well done Michael. I remember this story very well although I lived nowhere near LA, or California for that matter. Absolutely love how you present true crime. Ty for the video.😀😀
Oooooh! I've been waiting for this!! 👍
During my police career I investigated three homicides in Louisiana committed by 3 serial killers who, of course, began in SoCal and were caught there.
You can never be too careful walking down these streets 😱
The crazy story I need to tell you of a serial killer . Richard Ramirez. When I was visiting my mom in his raign of terror. He stuck blocks away from my mom's home. 😳 Believe me.. widows and doors were locked at that time. For me that was dramatic. Thank God he was cought.
I love grimmlifecollective!!
Well Done!! Love your style of editing and filming these location.
Thank You To The LE.And Others.
For Solving This Evil Act.All
Of You Rock.Richard.
I am obsessed with serial killers and the hillside stranglers are up there for me great video, amazing how many serial killers where active in LA at the same time in the 70s and 80s!
I was born in 1966 and raised in norther California. My grandma lived alone in Santa Monica. I remember being very scared for her as a kid.
thankyou michael and jessica!!! my favorite videos that you create are the true crime videos!!! keep up the great work! 🖤🖤🖤
Intense CreePy stuff---- i never heard of the Hillside Strangler. Again, you GriMMs make it SO interesting, and to think of all the ticking time bombs of wackos that have come and gone (hidden in the woodwork), in the history of true crime LA, just blows the mind.... Thanks, again, GriMMs, for great reporting.... :^)"""""""
Awesome on this video Mike, the raw footage and the story you tell us as real as it get. Thanks for sharing.😎
Thank you for covering this one. This story always fascinated me.
I remember hearing that story but never knew the details. Thanks for the info.
Excellent! One of my fave videos for sure. I LOVE TRUE CRIME!!
this i remember well as a kid in these neighborhoods.... scary times nobody went out.... his place at 702 e colorado long gone....
Awesome video!!! I will be watching that on Hulu.
You're such an amazing story teller. So sad what those women experienced and torture they went through. Thank You for your hard work. 👍
Another great video Michael. Thank you. Much love to you and Jessica from Glasgow,Scotland.👍😊
Love me some grimmlifecollective! Your videos are always so interesting.
What I love about you and your lovely wife Jessica,is that you research so much history about places and people on your channel,I can literally sit at home and watch you guys all day,thank you for sharing so much with us, I love it so much,big love to you both from me here in England 🏴
Upon seeing victim / crime scene locations like that, always makes me wonder, what the residents of the property or street must think if they know the history
Most probably don’t know.
I suggested this a few months back. Glad to see you did it.
Fascinating and very sad....keep up the amazing story telling Michael!
You guys are my type of people! Always excited for your videos! 🖤
Never disappoints. 🙃. Really sad at the end but still great.
Great video dude, I love watching all your videos.
Never grim when the grimms are about happy halloween 🎃
Found my favorite channel! Great video and work!
Aaaand the creepy time goes on. This gives prime chills, tank you for te great story!
Going to the actual site makes it even more real for us, thx for the trip, good job!👍
Thank you both for this video it's another killer episode 👌💯
Brilliant as always...Thanks, Micheal.
Awsome video, and how about that river two days of rain that’s incredible 🎉
I like your videos. This one was sad.
Keep up the great work.
Very interesting to say the least. Really well explained as always Michael.
seen that documentary too Michael am.. now watching the clown and the candyman it's about Gacy and Dean corll in 4 parts.... and after i watch them will be next the toolbox killer always great to see a new video fron you and your beautiful wife... Happy Halloween
Its so strange because my aunts mother (RIP) was named Angela Buono. She lived in Glendale too. She was such a sweet woman. I know Buono is kind of common for Italian names but still its very weird.
I like how respectful too the victims great job!!!!
Mrs. Peele: where is the body? There's always a body!
I grew up in La Crescenta when this was all happening. I was 9 when the 1st victim was discovered on 11/1/77. My brother delivered for the Glendale News-Press at the time so we were inundated with news about it. Richard Ramirez started his crime spree in 1984 and some of it in Glendale, when I was just 16 and I was the one with the same paper route. It's funny how we could have paper routes at that age with serial killers killing around you.
Michael you are amazing at what you do, hugs from Wisconsin 😊 Happy Halloween 🎃
Great video, love the true crime videos
This was really well done!!
i saw the same doc just last week really good episodes.. interesting.. thanks for the content :) hope you guys are keeping well .. (sean x )
Another great presentation!
Been In Burbank California For 39 Years 🙌🏻 Love Your Videos.
Bianchi moved to Washington state and quickly did a double homicide. His Drivers license gave up Glendale Ca. If I recall that’s
How the police started putting it all together.
He lived in the same apartment complex as one of the victims.
i'm with you its crazy to think within that space all the horror that went on there.
I remember these murders. Thanks for sharing.
That was freaky seeing the upholstery shop ! Awesome thanks
I love you guys but now I'm getting scared. I found out too late that I used to live near one of those body dump sites which was why our rent was so cheap. The Glendale freeway sounded like a river and, after a drunken party, I accidently rolled down that hill from our rented cabin. Grim life indeed.
What??
Loved seeing LA so dark and gloomy for this story. It was a perfect backdrop!
if you havnt ever heard of waverly hills sanatorium in Louisville KY you should look into it.
I really enjoy your channel , so interesting too see these locations . May those victims rest in peace , nobody deserves to die like that .
Just a few blocks from where I live in Glendale! Used to live in the neighborhood close to that new bridge too! Love seeing history about this place thanks man keep ‘em comin
Thanks for sharing
Love all ur vids ur the best of the best
EXELLENT AS ALWAYS ❤❤❤❤ IT 👍👍👍👍👍
Love your channel very interesting. Enjoy watching all your videos.
Michael one of the most interesting and disturbing videos, didn't know of these monsters over here in England, really enjoyed your knickerbocker hotel videos as well, thanks 👍
Wow that river
love u guys!
I can't believe how many sick people there are out there. Thank you for showing this. I wasn't even born when this was going on. And here stories like this just turns my stomach but makes me realize people do need help. People do need a helping hand. My heart goes out to the victims families on what happened. I mean stuff like this needs to be told to let people know that something's wrong with the world today
Try watching the multiple channels devoted to catching child predators.
Every single day they catch multiple people who intend on having sex with children.
Life is certainly grim.
Awesome!! Keep the true crime vids coming!
