Bianchi had some contact with the police, which made him want to enter the force. However, the departments of Glendale and Los Angeles refused.
Bianchi, then, made plans to become a psychotherapist. He started reading books about it but after a while decided to end that track. He placed a fake advertisement in a newspaper in Los Angeles offering work to registered nurses in psychiatry and forged one of the diplomas he had, taking the title and identity of a licensed psychiatrist.
After Buono asked Bianchi to seek a proper place to live, Bianchi found work in a real estate company and rented an apartment. One of his neighbors was Kristina Weckler, who became one of his victims.
