In the late 1970s, fear crept into the hills overlooking Los Angeles. Young women were disappearing—only to be found later, discarded along quiet slopes and shadowed roads. The media would come to know the killers as The Hillside Stranglers, but behind the headline was a far more disturbing truth: two men, bound by manipulation, violence, and a shared hunger for control.

In this episode of Coffee Meets Murder, we unravel the crimes of Angelo Buono Jr. and Kenneth Bianchi—examining their partnership, their victims, and the investigative failures that allowed the murders to continue. From calculated abductions to chilling confessions, this is the story of how terror hid in plain sight… and how the hills became a dumping ground for unimaginable cruelty.
