‘Hillside Strangler’ Kenneth Bianchi Denied Parole in California

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 09 – Anthony D'Amato, 74, was denied parole again despite legal eligibility, with experts citing ongoing risk and multiple life sentences in California and Washington state.

  • Kenneth Bianchi, known as one of the Hillside Stranglers, was denied parole again in California on July 10, 2025.
  • Bianchi's parole denial follows his 1979 arrest in Washington for strangling two college students and guilty pleas to multiple killings in California and Washington.
  • Bianchi and his cousin Angelo Buono Jr. carried out a late 1970s crime spree in Los Angeles and Washington involving rape, torture, and murder of women and girls.
  • Retired FBI agent Jason Pack said the parole board considers Bianchi’s crimes, prison behavior, remorse, and risk and noted his pattern of lies weighs heavily against parole.
  • The parole denial highlights ongoing legal barriers and public concern, suggesting Bianchi will likely remain incarcerated as victim families seek peace after decades of trauma.
