Episode 112: The Hillside Stranglers Part 2(Case of Angelo Buono Jr & Kenneth Bianchi)
Family should always be close. The two cousins did everything together.
They slept with their sons underage girlfriends together, started a business, and even lived together.
They wanted to experience life’s greatest pleasures - together, as a family.
The rush of injecting a woman with Windex (the window cleaner) to see how they would convulse. The rush of hooking up a woman to electrical wires from an auto shop. The rush of leaving naked bodies all over happy Los Angeles.
They did it all - as family.
