About this listen

Reid Carter exposes the four-month killing spree that terrorized Los Angeles between October 1977 and February 1978. Cousins Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono posed as undercover police officers, flashing fake badges and luring ten women and girls - ages 12 to 28 - into their car. Victims were taken to Buono's upholstery shop where they were raped, tortured, and strangled before their naked bodies were dumped on hillsides across the city. Women cut their hair and dyed it blonde. Nightclubs emptied. One victim was injected with Windex. Another's car was pushed off a cliff with her body in the trunk. Tomorrow: How they finally got caught.
