********** CONTENT WARNING: Graphic, Sensitive Themes, Mature Content & Sexual Assault **********
In this episode, I'll tell you about the Hillside Stranglers. Two cousins, Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono Jr. became infamous in Los Angeles between 1977 and 1978 for their crimes in the area. These crimes involved the abduction and harm of young women and, due to the fact that LA had to already deal with a cast of serial killers, the community was on edge. Find out how the two found their victims, what they did, and how they were eventually caught.
