The Hillside Stranglers

About this episode

On this episode we're tacking the case of the Hillside Stranglers. Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono were cousins that teamed up to murder 10 young women in Los Angeles in a four month span in the late 1970s.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss this famous case from the 70s the sadistic cousins behind it. The murders were cruel and tragic. The investigation into the murders and the bizarre way that the two cousins were linked is fascinating. A media circus would ensue after their capture and the trial would be one of longest and most expensive in California history to that point.
