STEPHANIE SOO
About this episode

Kenny was ecstatic - he was finally moving to LA where he would chase his dreams. To make things better his older cousin was letting him stay at his house. He would also teach him a few lessons on how to be successful.

“Lesson #1: You gotta hit the bullseye. Make it your target.

Right between the legs.

Always use a wet towel. It doesn’t leave bruise marks.

Oh, and Kenny? Don’t chicken out when you strangle them.”

The two cousins would be known as the “Hillside Stranglers” and they would leave behind a trail of bodies all over the hills of LA.


Rec: “The Hillside Stranglers” - by Darcy O’Brien (best deep dive on this case out there but it is really intense.)
