About Kenneth Bianchi
Kenneth Alessio Bianchi is an American serial killer, kidnapper, and rapist. He is known for the Hillside Strangler murders which he committed with his cousin Angelo Buono Jr. in Los Angeles, as well as for two more murders in Washington State as the sole perpetrator. Bianchi is currently serving a sentence of life imprisonment in Washington State Penitentiary for these crimes. He was also at one time a suspect in the Alphabet murders, three unsolved murders in his home city of Rochester, New York, from 1971 to 1973. Bianchi was most recently denied parole in 2025. After her husband's death, Bianchi's adoptive mother had to work while he attended a public high school and was known for keeping Bianchi home from school for long periods of time. Investigators eventually discovered that the name "Steven Walker" came from a student whose identity Bianchi had previously attempted to steal for the purpose of fraudulently practicing psychology. On September 4, 1977, the body of 26-year-old Laura Collins was discovered in Griffith Park, having been strangled.
