Francis adored him, couldn't get enough of him, he was her darling boy and she showered love and affection on him that he was supposed to have gotten from his biological mother. At an important time in a child's life and development, there was no proper bonding between them but luck finally smiled down on Kenneth and he was adopted by Francis and Nicholas Bianchi when he was just a few months old. Kenneth was passed around from neighbour to neighbour when his mother couldn't be bothered to look after him, this went on for months. His mother was a sex worker who didn't want the responsibility of having a child. Kenneth Alessio Bianchi was born on the 22nd of May 1951 in Rochester, New York and from the start there was problems. So let's get into the backgrounds of Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono Jr. ![]() ![]() This week however, my full focus has been on all of the details I could get my hands on and because this case is so infamous, I only had to buy one new book as all my other books had pieces and information about Bianchi and Buono so I had a lot to work with, research wise. I'd read about the case that the movie was based on (briefly) and saw a few documentaries here and there but of course they were quite sensitive with the details (which when you know the truth of them, you can see why) so I was spared the full horror even though the watered down version of events was still bad enough. To think such evil existed in the world back then and it still exists now. I have a horrible memory of a scene where a sex worker was strangled to death and then sexually assaulted in the back of a car by The Hillside Stranglers. I found myself feeling sickened, disturbed and angry and I don't think that we managed to watch the whole movie. I like to think of myself as a hardcore horror fan but this was too much for me, especially as we learned that this was a true story. I first stumbled across The Hillside Stranglers quite a few years ago when a friend of mine had a bunch of movies on DVD and being into horror, we thought we would give a movie called 'The Hillside Strangler' (starring Thomas C Howell) a watch. So now that you have prepared yourself (those that feel that they can continue reading), let's begin. Please keep that in mind, it does make for uncomfortable reading and I would rather you skip the post than be emotionally scared from the details that are very hard to forget. As always, I have to mention that I will be sharing some disturbing details in this post and it is heavy going. I've always felt that the nickname given to these perverted, sick creeps, 'The Hillside Stranglers', was quite tame and as we move through this post you will understand why. The horrible details are something that never leaves you. ![]() Put it this way if you're a woman reading the details of what these monsters (pictured above) had done to their victims, you wouldn't help but feel so absolutely enraged and traumatised. I'll be honest and say that The Hillside Stranglers case has popped up on many occasion on my requests and It was a case that I knew would be a bit hard for me to get through, not so much the research, writing and so forth (you know I'm such a nerd), it was the details about the murders. I didn't exactly plan which case would be in which order, I just went down my list and organised some of the duo murderers. To say that I have begun this series with quite a tough case is an understatement. I have covered various murder cases previously where romantic couples have been murderers or friends have teamed up and become murderers so I thought I would take some of your requests and focus on some infamous duos that I haven't covered before or only touched upon briefly.
