“Did you ever discuss the Hillside Strangler cases,” Finnigan asked, “at the time they were on the news, with Ken Bianchi?”

“Oh, we commented on it, Kenny commented on it, I commented on it, like I said, I commented like, you know, could have been two girls or a guy and a girl doing it. And he didn’t respond too much to it, when I think back now. ’Cause my daughter just told me he used to ask her, you know, he said you want to go somewhere, I’ll take you. So, you know, when, ah, then he, ahm, used to see it on the news and comment to me, he was kind of quiet about it. You know, he said something, but not like me and you would talk about it, you know, like two people would talk about it.”

“Do you know of Kenny having any weird sexual hang-ups?” Finnigan asked.

“I don’t know. I haven’t, ah, you know, been double dating together and end up shacked up with screwing the same broads. You know, everybody’s got funny things, you know.”

Grogan inquired once more whether Angelo had ever been involved in prostitution, with girls and pimps and pimping.

“I never pimped any girls. If you call knowing Kenny, hustling girls in my place, and that makes me a pimp, then I’m a pimp. All the girls I know, if they sell their butt, they’re doing it without me. I ain’t getting no money.”

Finally, Angelo denied having contacted Kenny since his arrest in Bellingham.

“No,” Angelo said calmly. “I haven’t even talked to his mother and I’m surprised she hasn’t called me. She used to call all the time and ask me how Kenny was getting along.”

Grogan and Finnigan concluded the interview. They had questioned Angelo for nearly two and a half hours. He had contradicted himself at several points, especially about whether he knew Becky Spears and whether he knew about the prostitution, and of course it was absurd for him to admit it had been headquartered out of his own house and then to say he had nothing to do with it. He had tried to paint Kenny as irrational and, absurdly, to depict himself as a concerned father. His theory about two women being the murderers was certainly unique.

“The creep will never admit to anything,” Grogan said. “We might as well forget about that. He’s the type would go to the gas chamber denying everything. And you know something? There are people out there would believe him. There are juries would believe him. They’d believe Angelo Buono is just a hardworking guy with all these kids to support. Just a guy who happened to get divorced and settles down with a nice Chinese girl twenty-five years younger than him. They would actually believe him.”

Grogan got further insight into Buono’s family life when he went to see Candy at the house on Glover Street. Candy was not reluctant to talk about her ex-husband, and perhaps the most important information she supplied Grogan was that Angelo knew Landa Street, the most obscure of the body sites, very well.
