Buono and Bianchi, the Hillside Stranglers

Sabra Hannan

The police in Los Angeles released a photo of Bianchi to the news media and received a call from a lawyer named David Wood. Wood had rescued one of two girls, Becky Spears and Sabra Hannan, from  Bianchi and his cousin, Angelo Buono, who had forced the young women into prostitution by threats and brutality.

While Salerno was in Bellingham, Grogan and Salerno's partner, Pete Finnigan, went to have a little chat with Angelo Buono. The detectives had a strong hunch that this Angelo character was the other Hillside Strangler.
