		Kenneth Alessio Bianchi (born May 22, 1951 in Rochester, New York) is, along with cousin Angelo Buono, Jr.
		Bianchi even managed to convince a few expert psychiatrists that he indeed suffered from multiple personality disorder.
		In the end, Bianchi's efforts were unsuccessful, as Buono was in fact convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.

	Hillside Strangler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bianchi had fled to Washington where he was soon arrested for raping and murdering two women he had lured to his home.
		Bianchi attempted to setup an insanity defense, claiming one of his multiple personalities committed the murders while he was in an altered, unconscious state.
		Court psycologists observed Bianchi and found that he was faking the illness, so Bianchi agreed to plead guilty and testify against Buono in exchange for leniency.

		Bianchi insisted that he never read the books, that they were obtained through a mail-order book club that automatically sent them each month, that he could not understand the jargon, that he had no knowledge or interest in psychology, and that he had never taken a psychology course in college.
		Bianchi was not only told that he was suffering from a multiple personality, but he was also instructed concerning the symptoms involved, that he would become more and more aware of things done by his personalities, and that this awareness would come to him over a period of time.
		Bianchi had pleaded guilty in order to avoid the death penalty, he continued his schemes to avoid responsibility for the crimes by a variety of means different from feigning multiple personality, but equally instrumental in terms of achieving the desired goal of raising doubts about his guilt.

		Bianchi, who had already denied any responsibility for the murders of Karen Mandic and Diane Wilder, had received his inspiration and was about to produce a performance of his own which was worthy of an Oscar.
		Bianchi tried to hide the evidence by dumping both bodies in their car, but the trail led straight back to him and soon everything was beginning to unravel.
		Bianchi's performance in the witness box was dreadful, he admitted faking the multiple personality disorder, but said he did not know if he was telling the truth about his cousin's involvement and was not even sure he himself was guilty.

		Thus, the Bianchi case was to be the first one I was involved with where the charge was murder, the maximum penalty death, and the only possible defense legal insanity based on a diagnosis of the multiple personality syndrome.
		Bianchi reported that talking to "Steve" left him with a chill at the end of his spine, but he was comfortable talking with "Billy." While making the Identi-Kit pictures, Bianchi repeatedly closed his eyes and appeared to visualize each face inside his head, carefully correcting the features to his satisfaction.
		Bianchi did not seem to need dehypnotizing after the age regression and first appearance to me of "Steve." He was so alert that I did not think any procedure was necessary.

		Kenneth Bianchi: I was told that there was a possibility that I had what's called a multiple personality, which means that‑‑that there are two separate distinct personalities within the same body, I guess.
		Kenneth Bianchi: She thought, she thought that that was the most thoughtful thing that anybody's ever done to her.
		Bianchi, that you will both probably only get your thrills reliving over and over again the tortures and murders of your victims, being incapable, as I believe you to be, of ever feeling any remorse.

		Kenneth Bianchi was a renegade thrill-killer who found a new home among the stately pines of south Bellingham.
		Bianchi quickly revived her, then repeated the strangulation and dry-humping, no doubt whispering some hateful vileness into her ear as she gasped pathetically for air.
		The passionate convictor of Kenneth Bianchi was nearly dethroned for applying too much passion in his zeal to destroy every mention of Bianchi-like behavior in his town...) Bianchi is still serving 27-life (parole seems improbable), while the finked-on Buono still rots in his 20th year of LWOP at Folsom State Prison.

		Bianchi knew that he would be called upon to not only stand trial on his own for the murders, but also to testify in the trial of Angelo Buono.
		Bianchi also knew that the only way that he could evade both his own prosecution and involvement in Buono's trial was to get the court to declare him legally insane.
		Bianchi (presumably speaking as Steve) told Dr. Allison that Angelo and Steve(not Ken) were connected, and that Ken was not guilty, for he was simply an "innocent bystander" and did not participate in the killings (O'Brien 255).

		Bianchi alleges that Bellingham police withheld proof that two Washington victims were seen alive by officers on the night of their deaths, after Bianchi had returned to his home.
		Bianchi also claims that a police officer took a hair from him and took it to an investigator at the cul-de-sac where the women's bodies were found in a car.
		Bianchi says that he developed a false impression of the strength of the prosecution's case because of the allegedly withheld evidence, and thus decided to plead guilty.

	Angelo Buono, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		(October 5, 1934 - September 21, 2002) was, along with cousin Kenneth Bianchi, one of the Hillside Stranglers.
		The legal case against him was based largely upon the testimony of Bianchi.
		The case's original prosecutors from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office came to feel that Bianchi's was too unreliable to be believable and that their case outside of Bianchi's testimony was too weak to be able to secure a conviction.

	Bianchi & Buono
		Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono strangled twelve women in Los Angeles between October 1977 and February 1978.
		It was these murders that led to the suspicion of Bianchi because he had been metioned in the victims conversation the previous day and on further investigation fibres on the victims matched ones found on Bianchi's clothes.
		Bianchi, who was already facing charges on the powerful evidence, gave police the story of how his crimes were committed by his multiple personality - Steve.

		Kenneth Bianchi: And then they were brought into‑‑all the killings occurred in the spare room, next to the bathroom.

	Serial Killers and Self-Concept (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Bianchi was not raised Catholic like Ramirez, so perhaps he was never as likely to embrace Satan as a way to define himself.
		Bianchi undoubtedly had his own difficulties in childhood, like an intrusive and dependent mother who probably made Bianchi very angry in her efforts to prevent him from developing an independent self.
		Bianchi’s portrayal of himself as a multiple personality- a product of sadistic abuse- is motivated not by fear as in the case of Ramirez, but by an intense resentment of having to be responsible for his mother’s emotional satisfaction.

		The film is based on the true story of Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono, cousins who raped and killed twelve women in California during the 1970s.
		Certainly, the performances of C. Thomas Howell and Nicholas Turturro as Bianchi and Buono are as off-putting as you could want and it’s perhaps worth both actors a little credit for their willingness to be repulsive.
		Bianchi and Buono remain ciphers and, more problematically, ciphers who don’t come over as a convincing part of a community.

		Howell was playing Kenneth Bianchi, who was a strapping guy in his mid 20s when the Hillside Strangler murders occurred.
		It may not have looked like the real Bianchi, but it certainly seemed to capture the essence of a deeply troubled man. I don't know whether that troubled man was the same kind of troubled man as Kenneth Bianchi, but the portrayal seemed spot-on in the context of the film.
		This is a biopic of two serial killers in L.A., Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono, who were known collectively in the singular as "the Hillside Strangler." It comes from writer/director Chuck Parello, the designated filmmaker for serial killers, who also brought us Ed Gein and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Part 2.
