Only On Murder Phone

This episode is titled “Serial Killer Show And Tell”
This is truly an episode to watch on the Murder Phone You Tube Channel.

Tony and Al are going to have a little fun and share a few of the items and artwork that Tony received from Bianchi over the years. 
I think by now you are very aware of what a whack job Bianchi is, but Tony will show you through some of their conversations just how weird this dude can be. It’s comical to a point. 

These are some of the pieces that they will share during this episode.

• The Creepy Bronzed Piggy that Bianchi thought was a Bear
• Three paintings that Ken did for Tony including a portrait of Tony, 
• The Autographed picture that Bianchi says is the only one in existence. 
• Bianchi’s Norelco Razor and Radio and Cassette player that he’s had since 1986
• Kenneth Bianchi’s Personal Glasses that he purchased at The Glendale Galleria. 
• These are the same glasses that he wore when he was committing The Hillside Strangler murders and during the Angelo Buono trial. 

In this episode Tony and Al are going to let Captain Kenneth Bianchi take the stand and present his case. 
Kenny has faked being an MPD, has confessed, pleaded guilty and asked for a plea deal so he wouldn’t get executed.

But all we’ve heard this season is how innocent he is!
Bianchi said if he could get the information out to the world he could prove his innocence, so Captain Bianchi here is your chance.
Ken says that serial killer Bill Suff is really the Hillside Strangler, however the Hillside Strangler murders took place between October 1977 and February 1978 and that timeframe is irrefutable. Suff was in a Texas prison during this time.

Throughout this episode Ken speaking on conversations with Tony tries to paint his innocence, but the true facts of the case prove beyond any reasonable doubt that
Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono are 

THE HILLSIDE STRANGLERS!  

Tony’s story starts with a taped conversation where Bianchi describes how his wife was unfaithful to while he was in jail. He found out much later that a psychologist that worked for the defense team was sleeping with Kelli. This certainly is karma at its best.
In another taped conversation Ken went to great lengths to describe how he was framed and never committed any of the crimes. 
Tony shares part of a tape recording of one of Bianchi’s supposed multiple personalities. This is Steve describing the crimes and pointing out who killed each of the victims.

Angelo Buono’s past is covered by Tony describing what a terrible person he was. His treatment of his wives and women in general is disgusting. Tony shares a letter from Bianchi describing their relationship, and of course it was filled with Bianchi lies and distortion of the facts. 

Bianchi describes his relationship with Veronica Compton who tried to be a copy cat killer for him and wound up serving 23 years in prison. 

At one point Ken Bianchi was trying to set up alibis with 12 different people for himself, and even tried to use Francis his mom for one. He is such a good con man that he had a girl actually write up an alibi for him the night of the Bellingham murders. Thankfully for her she changed her mind and didn’t end up like Compton. 

Bianchi continues to fake his innocence and on various phone calls you will hear him talk how it pisses him off that killers can’t be honest with victims families so they can have closure. This coming from someone who has murdered 12 girls and still feigns innocence. 

• Tony and Al will cover the murders of Kimberly Martin the 9th victim and Cindy Hudspeth the 10th and final victim of the Hillside Stranglers. 
• These stories both have several twist and turns that make you wonder how these killers were not stopped. 
• Angelo pulls a gun on Bianchi and tells him to get out of town or he will be the next victim. 
• Bianchi moves to Bellingham Wa to be with his girlfriend Kelli and their son. It’s been almost a year since Bianchi killed and he can’t fight the impulse. He murders Karen Mandic and Diane Wilder in the same house at the same time. After leaving many clues he is arrested within hours of the bodies being found. 
• During the investigation police find evidence tying Bianchi to the Hillside Strangler murders. 
• Bianchi tried to fool the prosecution's expert witness psychiatrists by feigning multiple personalities, but when his star personality Steve Walker (the vicious killer personality) was found to be the same name as on his fake psychiatry degree, Bianchi knew that he was finished.  

So being the sniveling little weasel rat that he was he did what rats do, Bianchi agreed to testify against cousin Angelo Buono so he could avoid the death penalty. 

This is November 1977 and it would become one of the most terrifying months in L,A history. The Hillside Stranglers, Angelo Buono and Kennith Bianchi were about to embark on a killing spree that would have the women of Los Angeles in a panic.

As Ken Bianchi talks on recorded phone conversations about what a nice romantic guy he is,  and professes his innocence. Tony and Al will describe how The Hillside Stranglers killed 6 more innocent beautiful girls. Two of them children just 12 and 14 years old, that were dumped like garbage in a trash heap. 4 bodies found in one week
        
The November Nightmare 1977. 

• Lissa Kastin 21 years old The 3rd victim Found November 6th 
• Kristina Weckler  20 years old  The 4th Victim Found November 20th  
• Sonja Johnson 14 years old The 5th Victim  Found November 20th.  
• Delores “Dollie” Cepeda 12 Years old  The  6th Victim Found November 20th.  
• Jane King 28 years old  The 7th Victim Found November 23 
• Lauren Wagner 18 years old The 8th Victim Found November 29  

 Guests:  Bob Cyphers, Adam Murray and Aaron Murray

Bob Cyphers knows this case better than most and Adam and Aaron Murray know the alleged killer better than anyone. 
Tony and Al  thought it would be great to get them all back on the show, and give them a chance to ask each other questions relating to the crimes and the alleged killer. 

It’s been 32 years since Tony was hit in the head by that jet ski, and It’s been 32 years since this maniac known only as the I-70 killer committed his first murder. Tony and Al think it’s time with the help of Adam, Aaron, Bob and Murder Phone that we give the detectives what they need to catch this maniac. 

After many questions everyone is in agreement that this guy should be investigated. Al emails Bob on air, the alleged killer’s name and pictures of him so he can get them to the right detectives to start the investigation. 

Tony and Al are hoping that this is the I-70 killer and after all these years the families can finally have some closure.

As information becomes available from the detectives Tony will share it with our Murderphoniacs. 

This episode is from our "The Best Of Murder Phone" list !

 Tony, Al and Joey were very disappointed after the first trip to Cape Cod  in December of 2016. They found the  general area of the root cellar so they knew it was there, but they needed a new plan of attack. We began to investigate Ground Penetrating Radar and after much investigation and some disappointments we finally are able to rent a GPR device (Noggin 500) and return to Cape Cod in November of 2018.

We retrace our earlier steps and spend 4 days formulating grids and soil slices. During these 4 days we were on the phone with experts in the field of GPR.  We had sent so many videos and images and had so many false alarms that we were getting discouraged.
Finally on the 4th day we find an area that is as Hadden described it, and it is at a depth that makes sense. At this point we are pretty sure this is it, so we sent all the new images to Hans and waited to hopefully hear some positive news.We finally got the call we had been waiting for, Hans said, “after looking at your notes and the data from the GPR I’m sure you guys found what you were looking for.” It was music to our ears. After over two years, two trips to Cape Cod, and a whole lot of time, work and expense we finally found Hadden’s secret Root cellar. It was late in the day and the sun was going down. The fact that we were standing over the root cellar made the excitement almost unbearable, but at the same time foreboding. 

Tony and Al are trying to solve the identity of the I-70 killer. The case is 32 years old, but the detectives have never given up. 

With the help of todays guests we hope to give them the pieces of the puzzle that they need to finally close this case. 

• These two men first became fans of Murder Phone and since then we have become friends. 
• One day they contacted Tony and said they thought they had an interesting story, and they wanted to become Serial Killer Whisperers. 
• You see folks this is all destiny, because it turns out that these twins are actually our friend Manfried West’s sons. Manfried was the star of Season 4 and he shared a cell with Robert Hansen the worst serial killer in Alaskan history.  
• So now his son’s Adam and Aaron join us today to tell their story about how they came to know and actually live with  the I-70 killer for a short time. 

Join us for an interesting and informative episode, as we uncover information that will lead us to the identity of the I-70 Killer right here on Murder Phone
