After the last murder, Bianchi was routinely questioned twice by the police. The reign of terror imposed by the “Hillside Stranglers” in Los Angeles prompted many people to inform police about suspicious activities of their colleagues and acquaintances. There were parents who called the task force and expressed reservations about the boyfriends who were dating their daughters. One case was that of Wanda Kellison, mother Sheryl, one of the girls who had intercourse with Bianchi.
Wanda Kellison told police in February of 1978 that Bianchi had a very strange look, and only once was able to accept infamous $400 that he borrowed from the girl, as Bianchi had to buy a car. Ms. Kellison said bluntly before the detectives that Bianchi could well be the choker. Her daughter had told her that Bianchi spoke constantly of the case. Two junior detectives were sent to meet with Bianchi. They knew he had been previously investigated on two occasions. They did not know anything about Bianchi’s attempts to join the police force of Los Angeles. This would have allowed them to discreetly check his fingerprints before the meeting.
