with him as a pimp
Soon after meeting up the
two began a spree of raping
and murdering ten women
before their arrest in 1979
6. The two killers were both violent men with a
history of aggression towards women
A logical reason for committing the murders
were for the sexual pleasure and possibly for
the thrill of killing someone
The victims would usually be lured using face
police badges to abduct them then would rape
and strangulate the victim before dumping the
body.
The two did experiment with electrocution,
lethal injection, and carbon monoxide
poisoning.

him

was gaurding but left many clues and was
captured the next day.

basis of insanity, and even created a fake
personality to convince the court.
Unfortunately for him the court hired a

discovered. With this new evidence brought to
light he changed his stance and admitted to his
and Buono’s murders.

imprisonment
Bianchi is currently serving his time in

strangler was still at large.
