This episode is titled “Serial Killer Show And Tell”
This is truly an episode to watch on the Murder Phone You Tube Channel.

Tony and Al are going to have a little fun and share a few of the items and artwork that Tony received from Bianchi over the years.
I think by now you are very aware of what a whack job Bianchi is, but Tony will show you through some of their conversations just how weird this dude can be. It’s comical to a point.

These are some of the pieces that they will share during this episode.

The Creepy Bronzed Piggy that Bianchi thought was a Bear
Three paintings that Ken did for Tony including a portrait of Tony,
The Autographed picture that Bianchi says is the only one in existence.
Bianchi’s Norelco Razor and Radio and Cassette player that he’s had since 1986
Kenneth Bianchi’s Personal Glasses that he purchased at The Glendale Galleria.
These are the same glasses that he wore when he was committing The Hillside Strangler murders and during the Angelo Buono trial.

Season 6 Episode 9 " Bianchi The Hillside Strangler “I Never Killed Anyone, It’s All Fiction" Sep 16, 2024

In this episode Tony and Al are going to let Captain Kenneth Bianchi take the stand and present his case.
Kenny has faked being an MPD, has confessed, pleaded guilty and asked for a plea deal so he wouldn’t get executed.

But all we’ve heard this season is how innocent he is!
Bianchi said if he could get the information out to the world he could prove his innocence, so Captain Bianchi here is your chance.
Ken says that serial killer Bill Suff is really the Hillside Strangler, however the Hillside Strangler murders took place between October 1977 and February 1978 and that timeframe is irrefutable. Suff was in a Texas prison during this time.
Throughout this episode Ken speaking on conversations with Tony tries to paint his innocence, but the true facts of the case prove beyond any reasonable doubt that
Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono are

THE HILLSIDE STRANGLERS!

Season 6 Episode 8 “Ken Bianchi The Hillside Strangler “Infidelity, Hypnosis and Alibis” Sep 09, 2024

Tony’s story starts with a taped conversation where Bianchi describes how his wife was unfaithful to while he was in jail. He found out much later that a psychologist that worked for the defense team was sleeping with Kelli. This certainly is karma at its best.
In another taped conversation Ken went to great lengths to describe how he was framed and never committed any of the crimes.
Tony shares part of a tape recording of one of Bianchi’s supposed multiple personalities. This is Steve describing the crimes and pointing out who killed each of the victims.

Angelo Buono’s past is covered by Tony describing what a terrible person he was. His treatment of his wives and women in general is disgusting. Tony shares a letter from Bianchi describing their relationship, and of course it was filled with Bianchi lies and distortion of the facts.

Bianchi describes his relationship with Veronica Compton who tried to be a copy cat killer for him and wound up serving 23 years in prison.

At one point Ken Bianchi was trying to set up alibis with 12 different people for himself, and even tried to use Francis his mom for one. He is such a good con man that he had a girl actually write up an alibi for him the night of the Bellingham murders. Thankfully for her she changed her mind and didn’t end up like Compton.

Season 6 Episode 7 “Ken Bianchi The Hillside Strangler AKA The Bellingham Strangler” Sep 02, 2024

Bianchi continues to fake his innocence and on various phone calls you will hear him talk how it pisses him off that killers can’t be honest with victims families so they can have closure. This coming from someone who has murdered 12 girls and still feigns innocence.

Tony and Al will cover the murders of Kimberly Martin the 9th victim and Cindy Hudspeth the 10th and final victim of the Hillside Stranglers.
These stories both have several twist and turns that make you wonder how these killers were not stopped.
Angelo pulls a gun on Bianchi and tells him to get out of town or he will be the next victim.
Bianchi moves to Bellingham Wa to be with his girlfriend Kelli and their son. It’s been almost a year since Bianchi killed and he can’t fight the impulse. He murders Karen Mandic and Diane Wilder in the same house at the same time. After leaving many clues he is arrested within hours of the bodies being found.
During the investigation police find evidence tying Bianchi to the Hillside Strangler murders.
Bianchi tried to fool the prosecution's expert witness psychiatrists by feigning multiple personalities, but when his star personality Steve Walker (the vicious killer personality) was found to be the same name as on his fake psychiatry degree, Bianchi knew that he was finished.

So being the sniveling little weasel rat that he was he did what rats do, Bianchi agreed to testify against cousin Angelo Buono so he could avoid the death penalty.

It’s been 32 years since Tony was hit in the head by that jet ski, and It’s been 32 years since this maniac known only as the I-70 killer committed his first murder.

Season 6 Special Episode 5 "We Found The Root Cellar" From The Best Of Murder Phone Aug 12, 2024

This episode is from our "The Best Of Murder Phone" list !
Tony, Al and Joey were very disappointed after the first trip to Cape Cod in December of 2016. They found the general area of the root cellar so they knew it was there, but they needed a new plan of attack. We began to investigate Ground Penetrating Radar and after much investigation and some disappointments we finally are able to rent a GPR device (Noggin 500) and return to Cape Cod in November of 2018.

We retrace our earlier steps and spend 4 days formulating grids and soil slices. During these 4 days we were on the phone with experts in the field of GPR. We had sent so many videos and images and had so many false alarms that we were getting discouraged.
Finally on the 4th day we find an area that is as Hadden described it, and it is at a depth that makes sense. At this point we are pretty sure this is it, so we sent all the new images to Hans and waited to hopefully hear some positive news.We finally got the call we had been waiting for, Hans said, “after looking at your notes and the data from the GPR I’m sure you guys found what you were looking for.” It was music to our ears. After over two years, two trips to Cape Cod, and a whole lot of time, work and expense we finally found Hadden’s secret Root cellar. It was late in the day and the sun was going down. The fact that we were standing over the root cellar made the excitement almost unbearable, but at the same time foreboding.

The year is 1976 and Kenny is 25 years old and moving away from mommy with a whole bunch of problems.
Tony shares many phone conversations with Bianchi covering his move to L.A. and his feelings about woman. These are all lies of course because Ken Bianchi has never revealed the real truth about the ruthless killer he is.

As an adult Bianchi’s behavior had gotten worse. He has grown into a polished con man, a compulsive liar and a skilled manipulator.
Bianchi’s Anger and hatred of women stemmed from a variety of sources.
Much of the rage was directed towards his own birth mother and his adoptive mother Frances for having told him who and what his biological mother was.
Ken desperately wants to be a police officer for control purposes.
He cries to his mommy and this leads to him moving to L.A. where cousin Angelo Buono promises he can get him on the force.
Tony and Al cover the first two murders of the Hillside Stranglers, 20 year old Yolanda Washington and 15 year old Judy Miller.

Season 6 Episode 4 Ken Bianchi: “The Demon Teeth of The Hillside Strangler” Jul 08, 2024

Tony shares a phone clip with Bianchi’s mom that has never been revealed before.

When Kenny was 4 or 5 he got 3 sets of front teeth. She asked the dentist if he would be a demon, and if he would go crazy later in life.
Talk about foreshadowing isn’t it ironic that this guy truly is a demon.
Bianchi’s adopted father Nick Bianchi died suddenly in 1965. It has been said that Frances made him wear his dads shoes to his funeral to symbolize that now he has to fill his father’s shoes.
Tony shares a conversation with Ken were he fervently denies this even though Ken’s mom told Tony that it happened.
Here’s where his psychopathy shows because Bianchi always wants to control the narrative. The internet drives him crazy because he’s a true psychopath and he can’t control what’s being said, so he has to improvise whenever he can.
Ken claims that Tony was duped into believing that a piece of art that he obtained was a forgery.
Tony shows the artwork and reads the COA that is written and signed by Kenneth Bianchi in 1991 verifying that he was the artist.
Once again Ken is shown to be a compulsive liar that lies even when he doesn’t have to.

Season 6 Episode 3 Ken Bianchi: The Trial of the Hillside Strangler “Nature or Nurtured” Jul 01, 2024

Last week Tony covered the terrible effects of ABS Abandoned Baby Syndrome. We know how bad Ken’s first 3 months were and now we will hear some of what the rest of his childhood was like.

Tony will quote comments from some of the Medical reports that go back as far as the 1950s. Here are a few examples:

“The relationship between Ken and his adoptive mother was not normal”
Ken Bianchi was a bed wetter and when he was taken to the hospital the first time a quote from the attending doctor read “Mother Needs Help”
The worker went on to say
“Mrs. Bianchi was unwilling to accept the possibility she as well as the boy might need psychiatric treatment rather than medical treatment.”
We also learn that relationships were always a problem, Ken proposed to a girl named Susan in 1969 but she turns him down, so he marries Brenda Beck for a few months, but she doesn’t meet his standards.
In 1971 Ken marries again but this time his wife leaves him after 8 months.

The title of this episode is Ken Bianchi, “Nature or Nurtured?

Dr Jim Fallon does a great job explaining the differences between the two.

Murderphoniacs can make up their own minds as to why he became the monster that he is.

Season 6 Episode 2 Francis Bianchi “Loving Mother or Evil Step Mom” Jun 24, 2024

This episode we are going back to Ken’s early years and we’ll see some of the reasons he turned out the way he did.
Frances Bianchi and Tony became good friends so you will hear a lot of conversation from her during this season.
As we get into the story we’ll see that it was a really complicated relationship between mother and son.

A true Oedipus complex.
Tony and Al think that this, along with his other childhood issues really messed little Kenny up during his early years.
Kenny’s birth mother was a 17 year old alcoholic sex worker.
For the first 3 months baby Kenny was passed around, he was never held, taken care of or even loved a little bit.
This is called Abandoned Baby Syndrome which is a terrible source of stress for infants. This along with the way Kenny was treated over the first 3 years of his life will carry over into adulthood and can’t be reversed.

When they adopted Kenny at the age of 3 months Frances thought her prayers had been answered and she was overjoyed that she now had a son.
However over the early years when the problems started mounting up, Frances was torn between being the overbearing doting mother and a strict disciplinarian.

Season 6 Episode 1 The Trial of Ken Bianchi “The Hillside Strangler” Jun 17, 2024

This season we will grant his wish and present his case.

Tony and his dad will be the prosecutors and present the case that proves he is a lying, psychopathic serial killer that ruthlessly killed 12 innocent girls and he is right where he belongs.
The Murderphoniacs all over the world will be our jury and they will be able to communicate their feelings if he is guilty or not.
This first episode will set up the beginnings of a relationship between Bianchi and Tony that lasted over 7 years. Tony became close with Ken’s mom through many phone calls and a visit. The closer their relationship became, the more holes Tony could see in Ken and his mom’s relationship.

Bianchi is a coward that has never manned up to the terrible crimes he committed.

Tony had to make sure that Manfried was still on board so he asks him if he still wants to try to find the cabin.
He shares their most recent conversation, and here is just a little of what we learn:
Manfried wants to do it, but you can tell he’s fed up.
The only one he trusts to be involved is Tony.
Hansen built the cabin with his wife and 2 small children in 1970.
He only had his boat in Seward back then . No plane.
He took 2 girls there by boat. One named Megan in 1973 and he thinks maybe Mary 1975. Hansen said one went in The Bay and one was buried.
Tony shares another conversation with Megan Emerick’s nephew Shayne that will blow your mind. Shayne talks about things that no one has ever heard including his father.

Tony and Manfried never gave up and decided they would use all the information that they had compiled and move ahead on their own.

Tony was constantly trying other ways to find Hansen’s cabin. This included many attempts through Hollywood connections that always led to dead ends.
In 2017 Tony was receiving puzzling emails from Manfried regarding a Production company and Missing and Exploited Children looking to talk with Manfried again about finding the cabin.
Manfried didn’t trust anyone after what happened so he made the decision he would only talk with Tony about this. He wanted the cabin found but wanted to do it right.

Manfried is told he will be moved for his safety, but it doesn't happen and once again he is put in the hole and loses everything.
The movie The Frozen ground was announced and it seemed to really affect the investigation.

Season 4 Special Episode: Message from Your Host Tony Ciaglia about TBI “The Silent Epidemic” Mar 13, 2023

I suffered a severe TBI in July 1992 when I was struck in the head by a jet ski. Very little was know back then about Traumatic Brain Injury and it was a miracle that I survived. Traumatic Brain Injury then was known as “The Silent Epidemic”.

It is now March 2023, more than 30 years after my accident, and TBI is still considered The Silent Epidemic.
It is my mission in life to try and shed some light on this terrible injury and to enlighten the public on the life long effects that this injury has had on me and my family.
Debilitating psychiatric problems are common and equally devastating to the patient. Among them, depression, is on the top of the list, followed by anxiety and bipolar disorder.
According to studies there is also an increased risk of alcohol and substance-related problems and suicidal thoughts.
I’m going to share a narrative that I wrote titled “Living Life with a Brain Injury”. I hope you will listen, because it was written from my heart and is all true.
It’s my hope that after hearing it you will have a better understanding of what TBI does and someday we can stop calling it “The Silent Epidemic”.
I’m also sharing audio of my appearance on The Doctors Show and a lecture I gave at The University Of Wisconsin about Living with a TBI and of course Serial Killers.
If you want to see the presentation (which is pretty cool) check it out on our Murderphone You Tube Channel.

Take care, Stay Safe
And Remember
Always Walk In The Calm after the Storm

Manfried West and Robert Hansen, Nature vs Nurture: Manfried West nicknamed Robert Hansen “The Worm”
This is his story.

Robert Hansen grew up hating his father who constantly subjected him to ridicule and mockery, and a mother who was compliant in the harsh treatment of her son. The bullying Hansen suffered as a child shaped his hatred of women. He was painfully shy, had a stutter and severe acne that left him permanently scarred.
Not receiving the attention he wanted from the attractive girls in school, Hansen grew up hating them and nursing fantasies of cruel revenge.
Robert Hansen doesn't have the same kind of name recognition that someone like Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy does but he was one of the country's most prolific serial killers.
He admitted to a spree of attacks against Alaskan women starting in 1971. Hansen's earliest victims were girls or young women, usually between ages 16 and 19 and not prostitutes. After abducting them, he would either rape them and release them with a warning, or fly them in his personal plane out into a remote location, where he would hunt them like animals and kill them.
Hansen is known to have raped and assaulted over thirty Alaskan women, and to have murdered at least seventeen, ranging in age from 16 to 41.
Hansen slipped through the cracks of justice many times and would have again it if wasn’t for the heroics of victim Cindy Paulson and Detective Glenn Frothe.

Manfred Forest West was born in 1956 in Jayville New York. He is in prison for murder 2 and other charges.

Manfried grew up angry and mad at life in the backwoods of the mountains in upstate New York.
They lived 4 miles from the nearest neighbors, the deep wilderness became his playground. Creeks, lakes, and old abandoned trail roads, caves and trees. His toys were sticks, old car parts, deer and bear skulls.
Manfred’s Father was a drunk, lived off the land hunting and trapping year-round. The family lived near a large swamp with the sounds of bullfrogs bellyaching all night, until his dad came home drunk. Then it was his turn to get beat.
Manfried remembers the early morning dawn washing over the swamp, hearing the birds sing and wishing that his father was dead.
He ran away at the age of 15, off to town, jail, prison.
Manfried seemed to meet all the wrong people, learn all the wrong things, and he just let himself fall through the cracks of life.
This story however is not how he became a criminal, but how he changed himself into the man he is today.
They say people can’t change, but Manfried West has proved them all wrong.
This is his amazing story.

After listening to the atrocities that Art both witnessed and committed in Vietnam, and think about how he was raised, you’ll understand why Tony and Al believe that his is a classic case of nurturing a monster.
Art’s stories become a text book example of Narcissism 101.
Tony close’s with a letter from Art dated April 19th, 2007. It’s the first time he heard that Shawcross was writing a book for him about his early years and Vietnam.
Art obviously agrees that his book could have been titled “The Making of a Serial Killer”
Art says “I know there are reasons for the way I turned out, and I believe a lot had to do with my early years.” “I’m not making excuses for what I did or what I became, I’m just trying to make sense out of all of it.”

Season 3 Episode 2 “Growing Up In The House Of Sin” The Making Of A Serial Killer Part One “Incest” Oct 10, 2022

The story you are about to hear is taken from Art’s personal book that he wrote for Tony; “Growing Up In The House of Sin” or as we like to call it “The Making of a Serial Killer.”

This story is a classic case of nurturing, a primer, if you will, on how to create one fucked up child and turn him into an animal.
Art’s family and then the military did one hell of a job creating the monster that Arthur John Shawcross became.Then they turned him loose to walk among us. This is the story of his road to hell, as told by Shawcross himself.
The information we’re going to present today is uncomfortable. It's a subject that is both uncomfortable to talk about and uncomfortable to hear. We’re talking about incest, incest between a mother and son and incest between a brother and his sisters.
This is the shocking story of Art Shawcross’ childhood as told by him. These are the building blocks of who he was to become as they began to be assembled at an early age.

Season 3 Episode 1 Getting To Know Arthur Shawcross Oct 03, 2022

Art wrote a detailed account of his Early Years and his time in Vietnam. (84 pages) titled “Growing Up in the House Of Sin” It could easily have been titled “The Making of a Serial Killer”.
Art sent Over 100 Letters in less than two years detailing Prison life, his personal attitudes about other prisoners, woman, pen pals, collectors, his personal recipes, sex, and murder.
Art sent Tony a handwritten letter from The Manhunter himself FBI profiler John Douglas along with his business card that he had sent to Art. Tony will share a letter Art sent to him with a letter he received from Keith Jesperson the Happy Face Killer. He calls him a fucking maggot!
Shawcross agreed to describe his killings. Art said he had been asked many times but always said no. He describes in detail each murder.
Phone conversations that have never been heard by anyone but the family. The calls will give you an idea of his narcissism and views on people and life in general.
Tony and Al’s descriptions of the prison visits they had with Arthur
Personal Writings, poetry and Art work
Shawcross tells Tony in his last letter before he died that he has given Tony what no one else has.

Season 2 Episode 17 “We Found The Root Cellar” Aug 22, 2022

Tony, Al and Joey were very disappointed after the first trip to Cape Cod in December of 2016. They found the general area of the root cellar so they knew it was there, but they needed a new plan of attack. We began to investigate Ground Penetrating Radar and after much investigation and some disappointments we finally are able to rent a GPR device (Noggin 500) and return to Cape Cod in November of 2018.
We arranged for the GPR equipment to be shipped right to the hotel so it was there when we arrived. We had to assemble the unit and figure out how to use it, we were so excited that after nearly 2 years we were back with the proper equipment to hopefully discover the location of the infamous root cellar.
We wanted to try out the unit, and Hadden’s descriptions all said the root cellar is about 5 to 6 feet deep so we decided a graveyard was the best place to experiment. We found one of Wellfleet’s oldest graveyards and waited until late afternoon when there wouldn’t be anyone there. It was desolate and creepy, but using the GPR over graves gave us a pretty good indication as to what the root cellar would look like.
We retrace our earlier steps and spend 4 days formulating grids and soil slices. During these 4 days we were on the phone with experts in the field of GPR. We had sent so many videos and images and had so many false alarms that we were getting discouraged.
Finally on the 4th day we find an area that is as Hadden described it, and it is at a depth that makes sense. At this point we are pretty sure this is it, so we sent all the new images to Hans and waited to hopefully hear some positive news.
We finally got the call we had been waiting for, Hans said, “after looking at your notes and the data from the GPR I’m sure you guys found what you were looking for.”
It was music to our ears. After over two years, two trips to Cape Cod, and a whole lot of time, work and expense we finally found Hadden’s secret Root cellar. It was late in the day and the sun was going down. The fact that we were standing over the root cellar made the excitement almost unbearable, but at the same time foreboding.

Over the years Tony and Al had several visits with Hadden. The first visit was shocking because no picture could prepare you for the real Hadden Clark. We were expecting to see this little timid man that preferred being a woman, but before us was a 6 foot reptilian looking man staring at you as his tongue darts back and forth and around his lips. His eyes may be looking at you but in reality he was looking through you.
The first visits were taken up by small talk and stories about prison. Hadden bragged that he won many bets in prison because he would eat anything, spiders, roaches it didn’t matter. He told us a story about how he once killed a seal on Block Island and ate its heart raw.
During later visits he began to open up more as Tony gained his trust. Tony knew he was in for 2 murders, but he always felt there were more. Early on he would ask leading questions about other crimes but Hadden always denied it.
On a visit in 2013 we heard about the root cellar for the first time. When he mentioned it, he said that if anyone stumbled on it he would have federal and state authorities lined up at his cell to talk with him. This peaked Tony’s interest and he began bringing the subject up in letters. Now after almost 15 years of communication Hadden began to open up and send Tony information that would prove to be invaluable in investigating his many crimes.
Hadden Clark says over and over in letters and discussions, “I’m going to be talking about things I’ve never talked to you about, or I might say I didn’t do it but I did do it.”

Two days later he called the police and turned himself in. In June 1985 Bradfield pleaded guilty to 2nd degree murder and was sentenced to 18 years to Life.
Clark was in the Navy at this time and was stationed on a ship in Alameda Ca. close to his brother.

When Laura graduated from Harvard and moved home she didn’t like or trust Hadden. During this time Hadden became increasingly jealous of Laura’s close relationship with her mother.
A necklace went missing and Laura blamed Hadden for it so Penny fired him. Penny was going out of town for business so Hadden Clark “The Beast” took over and used this opportunity to get even.
Hadden admits to psychologically torturing Laura for over three hours in her room before he suffocated her. The suspense builds as Clark describes being dressed in Laura’s clothes and wearing a wig while messing with her mind.
