Given Bianchi's and Buono's birthdays, neither of them was 42 at the time of arrest. This needs to be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azpmerrill (talk • contribs) 20:35, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Still no references. If only someone who knew about this case would come and clean this up. Also, "This event caused the homeowner to relocate his family out of state, for their protection. This event and those that followed caused a severe emotional and financial strain, the government has never repaid the financial loss to this homeowner, even though he returned many times for the murderers hearings and trials." is irrelevant. 97.104.128.230 (talk) 17:22, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here are two local on-line references: http://klipsun.wwu.edu/archives/s08b/story.php?name=hillside http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&file_id=8613 I'm not up to editing, but since I lived through this period, living in Bellingham about four blocks from Bianchi, I was around through the whole episode. FWIW, at the time the story in the press was as follows:

Bellingham Police Chief Terry Mangan was relatively new in town, having come here from (I think) Pacific Palisades, CA. He was the one who noted the similarity to the Hillside Strangler cases in S. Cal, and so he was the one who called the detective in LA who, by then had a cold case. The LA detective noted that Bianchi was one of hundreds of people who had been interviewed, and dropped in the previous year. So he was on the next plane to Bellingham.

A couple of years later, a Hollywood concern which had made the film "Breaking Away" made some plans (which were never fulfilled) to make a motion picture dramatization. The theme was to be the contrast between the cooperation and good relations between the local police and the community, as compared to the poisonous relations in LA, where the police were regarded (per the producer) as an "occupying army". The result of which was that the killer was identified and arrested within one day of the mureder in Bellingham. . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.8.168.248 (talk) 23:01, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Laura Collins

[edit]

She has been said to be one of the first victims [1] [2] [3] - her name has been added and removed from the list of victims, [4] but surely warrants a mention on the page. (Emperor (talk) 02:58, 16 January 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Veronica Compton

[edit]

I believe the page requires further information, and a photo of, Veronica Compton. If it is not deemed appropriate to expand the section on her then perhaps someone could write a separate article on her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amoh1980 (talk • contribs) 12:07, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dedicated articles or additional information about Frank Salerno and Bob Grogan on this page

[edit]

Requested Article Title: [[Frank Salerno (detective)]] (Using (detective) to disambiguate from the other Frank Salerno entry)

Brief Justification and Sources (to be placed after the title on the "Requested Articles" page):

"Lead detective in two of Los Angeles's most infamous serial killer cases: the Hillside Strangler (identifying it as two perpetrators, Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono Jr.) and the Night Stalker (Richard Ramirez). Instrumental in coordinating major task forces and recognized for his significant contributions to law enforcement methodology, including involvement in the development of the FBI's VICAP program and the MAIT multi-agency investigation guide. His deep emotional involvement and personal toll from these cases have been highlighted in documentaries, such as Netflix's Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer. Sources on his work are abundant in books, documentaries, and news archives related to these cases. -- <span data-dtsignatureforswitching="1"></span>"

Request 2: For Bob Grogan

[edit]

Requested Article Title: [[Bob Grogan (detective)]] (You might also try just Bob Grogan if there isn't a conflict, but (detective) is safer to avoid confusion if other notable Bob Grogans exist)

Brief Justification and Sources (to be placed after the title on the "Requested Articles" page):

"Key lead detective in the Los Angeles Hillside Strangler case (1977-1978), working closely with Frank Salerno. He was one of the earliest and most vocal proponents that the murders were committed by two individuals, not a single perpetrator – a crucial insight that reshaped the investigation and led to the apprehension of Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono Jr. His astute investigative instincts and dedication were vital to solving this complex and terrifying case. He has appeared in and advised on documentaries regarding the case. -- <span data-dtsignatureforswitching="1"></span>"[5] 2A0D:6FC0:2A81:B600:2910:5FE2:AA75:4009 (talk) 13:26, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
