Who is Kenneth Bianchi What did he do View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Kenneth Bianchi was an adopted child who grew up in Rochester, New York. He initially wanted to be a police officer and tried to seek employment at the Sheriff’s Department in Monroe County, New York, but did not qualify for the job. He then took up a job as a security guard, but was later fired owing to theft accusations. Bianchi moved to Los Angeles in January 1976, where he lived with his cousin Angelo Anthony Buono Jr., before finally moving to Bellingham, Washington, in May 1978. While living with Angelo, the duo committed around 10 rapes and murders in Los Angeles but were never caught. They eventually became known as the "Hillside Stranglers" because they killed all their victims through strangulation. ironic chintz@ironicchintz@SGmymindandme Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono Jr.@SGmymindandme Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono Jr. https://t.co/gYnFXLSAE3 Bianchi was working as a guard at a shopping center when he met 22-year-old Karen Mandic, who introduced him to 27-year-old Diane Wilder. Both were students at a local university. On January 11, 1979, Kenneth requested Karen to accompany him on a job run to a secluded neighborhood. He even offered to pay her for the same. Karen invited Diane to tag along with them and they left for the place at around 7 pm. The girls never returned home. Authorities later discovered their car parked in a cul-de-sac in a wooded area. The bodies of the two women were found inside the car. Autopsy reports determined that Karen and Diane had died due to strangulation by ligature. When Bianchi was called in for questioning, he denied knowing Karen. However, his lies were soon discovered when the police found evidence linking him to the crime. Key among them were notes mentioning Bianchi, which were found at the girls’ house and car. Physical evidence, including pubic hair from the crime scene, connected him to the murders.
