The Hillside Strangler murders began with the deaths of three sex workers who were found strangled and dumped naked on hillsides northeast of Los Angeles between October and early November It was not until the deaths of five young women who were not sex workers, but girls who had been abducted from middle-class neighborhoods, that the media attention and subsequent "Hillside Strangler" moniker came to prominence.
There were two more deaths in December and February before the murders abruptly stopped. An extensive investigation proved fruitless until the arrest of Bianchi in January for the murder of two more young women in Washington and the subsequent linking of his past to the Strangler case. The most expensive trial in the history of the California legal system at that time followed, with Bianchi and Buono eventually being found guilty of these crimes and sentenced to life imprisonment. When Bianchi was short of money, Buono came up with the idea of getting some girls to work for them as prostitutes.
Eventually, Spears happened to meet lawyer David Wood, who was appalled at her situation and arranged for her to escape from the city. Encouraged by Spears' escape, Hannan ran away from Bianchi and Buono a short time later.
With their pimping income gone, they had to find more teenage girls. Impersonating police officers, they eventually found another young woman and installed her in the previous girl's bedroom. Also, they bought from a prostitute named Deborah Noble a supposed " trick list" with names of men who frequented prostitutes. Noble and her friend, Yolanda Washington, delivered the trick list to Buono in October Yolanda Washington happened to mention to Buono that she always worked on a certain stretch of Sunset Boulevard.
When Bianchi and Buono found that Deborah Noble had deceived them about the list but were unable to find her, they decided to take out their rage on Yolanda. The victim had also been raped.
On November 1, , police were called to Alta Terrace Drive in La Crescenta , [7] a neighborhood 12 miles north of downtown Los Angeles , where the body of a teenage girl was found naked, face up on a parkway in a middle-class residential area. The homeowner had covered her with a tarp in the early morning hours to prevent the neighborhood children from viewing her on their way to school.
The body had been dumped, indicating she was killed elsewhere. Detective Salerno also found a small piece of light-colored fluff on her eyelid and saved it for the forensic experts. A coroner's report further detailed that she had been raped and sodomized.
Miller was last seen alive on October 31, , talking to a man driving a large two-tone sedan on Sunset Blvd next to Carneys Express Limited. The stranglers told her they were undercover police officers, handcuffed her, and took her to Buono's Auto Upholstery Shop at E. Colorado Street in Glendale where she was murdered. Five days later, on November 6, , the nude body of another woman was discovered near the Chevy Chase Country Club, in Glendale. Like Miller, she bore five-point neck, wrists and ankles ligature marks and of having been strangled and brutally raped, but not sodomized. Kastin was also a professional dancer for the all-female dance troupe The L.
Knockers and, unlike the two previous victims, was not a prostitute, drug user or runaway. The stranglers followed Kastin after she was seen driving home from work, pulled her over on the street she lived on, presented a fake police badge, and told her that they were detectives. They then handcuffed her and told her they needed to take her in for questioning.
At some point in early November , [9] the two men approached year-old Catharine Lorre Baker, the daughter of actor Peter Lorre — famous for his role as a serial killer in Fritz Lang 's film M — with the intent of abducting and killing her.
However, when they found a picture of her sitting on her father's lap among her identification, they let her go without incident, fearing the murder of a celebrity's child may attract an unusually high amount of police and press attention. Lorre did not realize who the men were until they were arrested, at which point she recalled that two men flashing L. The last time they were seen was getting off the bus on York Boulevard and N Avenue 46 and approaching a two-tone sedan which reportedly had two men inside. Their two corpses were found by a nine-year-old boy who had been treasure hunting in a trash heap on a hillside near Dodger Stadium on November 20, It was determined that they had been strangled and raped.
Earlier that same day, November 20, , hikers found the naked body of twenty-year-old Kristina Weckler, a quiet honors student at the Art Center College of Design deemed by Detective Bob Grogan of the Los Angeles Police Department to be a "loving and serious young woman who should have had a bright future ahead of her", [11] on a hillside between Glendale and Eagle Rock. When found by Grogan, ligature marks were on her wrists, ankles and neck, and when he turned her over, bruises on her breasts were obvious and blood oozed from her rectum.
Unlike the first three victims there were two puncture marks on her arm, but no signs of the needle tracks that indicated a drug addict.
On November 23, , the badly decomposed body of year-old Evelyn Jane King, an aspiring actress who had gone missing on November 9, was discarded in bushes [13] near the Los Feliz off-ramp of the Golden State Freeway. In response authorities created a task force — initially composed of 30 officers from the LAPD, the Sheriff's Department and the Glendale Police Department — to catch the predator now dubbed the "Hillside Strangler".
On November 29, , police found the body of eighteen-year-old Lauren Rae Wagner, a business student who lived with her parents in the San Fernando Valley , [8] in the hills around Los Angeles's Mount Washington. She had ligature marks on her neck, ankles and wrists. There were also burn marks on her hands indicating she was tortured. He found that the woman who lived in the house where Lauren's car had been parked saw her abduction.
This woman stated that she saw two men: one was tall and young, the other one was older and shorter with bushy hair.
On December 14, , the body of year-old sex worker Kimberly Diane Martin, which was naked and showed signs of torture, was found on a deserted lot near Los Angeles City Hall. Martin had previously joined a call girl agency because she feared exposing herself on the streets with the Strangler on the loose.
