Full Name: Angelo Buono,Jr.
Alias(s): the Hillside Strangler,Tony
Birthdate/Birthplace: October 5,1934 (Rochester,New York)
Died: September 21,2002 of a heart condition
Spotlighted : October 2004
Capture:
After police in Washington sent a photo and information about Bianchi to the Los Angeles' Police Department(since
murders suspected of being commited by Bianchi matched that of the modus operandi of the Hillside Stranglers in L.A.),the
police placed the picture in the newspaper and soon recieved a call from a lawyer(David Wood),whom said that he had saved
two women(Becky Spears & Sabra Hannan) who had been kept captive and forced into prostitution by Bianchi,and another man
named Angelo Buono.After the police department retrieved a photo of Buono,they showed a lineup of photos to two witnesses
whom had seen Wagner and Miller being abducted(Beulah Stofer & Markust Camden);both Camden and Stofer pointed out Buono.Bianchi
was taking in for questioning and quickly started to confess to the murders,but saying that Buono had started them and helped
him through them.Police in Los Angeles executed a search warrant on Buono's auto upholstery shop and found fabric that was
found on the eyelid of Miller.Buono was placed under arrest on October 22,1979.
Aftershock:
Before Buono's trial,Judge Ronald George had the counts of murders and non-murders seperated(the murders
in Washington & Los Angeles),so that Buono would not be able to file an appeal on this.Buono was charged with 10 murders,due-to
lack of evidence.The Prosecutor(Roger Kelly)felt that there was no way to win the case,and surprisingly,asked for all 10 charges
to be dropped from Buono,but the Judge did not allow this and even stated the evidence that the Prosecutor had overlooked.Kelly
resigned from the case and two new Prosecutors were brought in(Michael Nash & Roger Boren).The trial against Buono was
set to start in November of 1981,but the Defense kept calling for motions and continuances that the actual trial didn't start
until spring of 1982.During Buono's trial,over 250 witnesses testified (including Bianchi),against Buono.In October of 1984,Buono
was found guilty of 9 of the 10 counts(he was not found guilty in the murder of Washington).He was sentenced to life in prison
without parole.While in prison,Buono married a woman(Christine Kizuka),whom worked for the Los Angeles Office of the State's
Employment Development Department,but on September 21,200-Buono was found dead in his cell-authorities stated that he had
died from a heart condition which he had been suffering from.
