5)  The Hillside Stranglers

Within weeks, the hillsides around Los Angeles became the scene of a terrible carnage - more than ten strangled corpses. The police soon realised they were no longer dealing with a serial murderer but hunting something frighteningly new - two killers, who were out on a 'spree'.

Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono were cousins who shared a chilling curiosity: what was it like to kill someone? As the body count mounted around Los Angeles, the investigation intensified. But the real break in the case came from Bellingham, Washington. After a slip-up during questioning, one cousin turned witness against the other and put the Hillside Stranglers away.
