If you like first person accounts of true crime stories, you will
love this book. I invite the reader to follow me through my
investigation of the Leslie Barry murder; the trial of Art Anzures
for the murder; the evidence that led me to my 3 suspects; how my
investigation of the Barry murder led me to the defense of Angelo
Buono in the Hillside Strangler case; and what happened in my
personal life as a result of my attempts to expose the systematic
cover-up in California V. Angelo Buono. The single most important
clue in the case came from the statement of a 14 year old boy on
the night of the Barry murder. I wasn't at the crime scene that
night, but would read the statement in police reports a week and a
half later. When I read it, I was astonished that the police seemed
to be showing no interest in this remarkable 16 word statement from
a friend of the victim. The cops ignoring evidence that could help
crack a case that had baffled them for 18 months, caused me to
wonder if they were so stupid they couldn't connect these two
simple dots or if something more sinister was going on. A dozen
books or more have been written about the Hillside Strangler case,
and taking a cue from the books, screenwriters have used the case
in movies and TV cop shows to lend an air of credibility to their
fictitious story lines. The Irony hasn't escaped me that these
writers are using a fiction to give credibility to a fiction.
However, these movies and cop shows have kept the myth that Kenneth
Bianchi and Angelo Buono were the Hillside Stranglers alive. I've
heard rumors that in recent years the LAPD destroyed all the
evidence from their Hillside Strangler investigation. If these
rumors are true, you can bet the farm that it wasn't done to save
space, but to protect the guilty. I've reduce that statement by the
14 year old boy to 4 words and made it the title of this book. A
Crossing of Paths is the true story of the Hillside Strangler case.
