Along with his adopted cousin Kenneth Bianchi he was part of "the Hillside Stranglers" pair. When he was young his parents divorced. His mother got custody of him and took him across the country from New York to California. He began stealing cars by 14 and was in a youth reformatory by 16 for grand theft auto. He became fascinated with his "idol" sex offender Caryl Chessman the "red light rapist" and began to emulate his techniques. He had several children, legitimate and illegitimate and frequently abused his wives and girl friends. In 1977 along with cousin Bianchi he began the infamous 'hillside slayings' in Los Angeles. When Bianchi was arrested in Washington state in early 1979 he confessed to the crimes and 'betrayed' Buono. Angelo Buono was arrested in October 1979. After his trial in 1983 he got 9 life terms without parole. Show less «
