I believe that the Hillside Stranglers also tried to lure girls to work for them - They put 2 into prostitution by inviting them to become 'models'. That was 1977 - 1978...check Ken Bianchi's pic ( http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_k...s/kenny_4.html )

Discovered last night, another serial killer/photographer who was in Torrance in 1984, also kidnapped a victim from there. His name was Christopher Bernard Wilder.

The show The Investigators just rebroadcast on TruTV on 4/2 the episode on William Richard Bradford. It's titled, "Deadly Exposure". I remain fairly positive that I was approached on the street by this serial killer.

This guy really enjoyed torturing people, and when you read the details of the rapes, you have to think that as far as he went and as brutal as he was, the people who are alive are extrememly lucky. You can tell just by reading the facts that the people who are dead did not go quickly or peacefully.
Just reading it convinced me that when you take into consideration the brutality that he was capable of to the people who lived, there has to be a lot of people who did not live.

Also I saw that someone said that they were not searching for boys, or preteens, if you look at the court records, he is capable of anything.

Anyway, here is the link:
(I should add that it is an extremely long read and some of it is brutally graphic.)

His preference was young women, including high school age.

I am confused about info in the above referenced news item:

"Donnalee Campbell Duhamel's decapitated body was found in Malibu in 1978. Her photo was among 54 that were found in William Richard Bradford's Mar Vista apartment 20 years ago but were never investigated. Los Angeles County sheriff's officials released the photos last week in hopes of learning more about the women."

But then states:

""Basically my mom just disappeared and was gone," said Duhamel's other daughter, Lisa Mora. "Never even had a funeral. There was no body. I want to know what happened to her."

Was the mother's body found or not? Was her picture in the group of photos or not? If the body was found, was it not returned to the family?

ETA: Okay, I see where the mother was identified in the photos, but why didn't the family receive the body?!?!

Her decapitated body was found in Malibu Canyon in 1978, a week after she disappeared from a bar, where she had been with her boyfriend. She told her boyfriend she was going to model for Bradford. He didn't follow along. The young daughters were being watched by their grandmother, so they had no knowledge of this of Bradford.
