In August 1976, a wealthy lawyer phoned Hollywood prostitutes agency asking them to bring a gril home in Bel-Air. Becky Spears, 15, had looked so pitiful that the lawyer asked why she worked in prostitution if it was something that she obviously hated. She answered that a girl, Sabra, had convinced her by a ruse to leave her home in Phoenix, Arizona, to work for a man named Angelo Buono. Bianchi and Bunono had terrorized the girl.
She was told that she would be killed if he tried to escape. Buono forced her to perform degrading sexual acts. Horrified by this story, the attorney bought Beck Spears a plane ticket to Phoenix. Buono then began threatening on the phone until the lawyer sent her home to a muscular thug in charge of maintaining order in nightclubs.
