Hulu - City of Angels, City of Death (2021) Part 2 News at Eleven 1977 - 1979
From producers of ABC News' '20/20,' a new Hulu Original documents the chilling 1970s-80s era of rampant serial killers in Los Angeles. 'City of Angels | City of Death' features first-hand accounts from the detectives who tracked down the Freeway Killer, Hillside Strangler and Sunset Strip Killer bringing justice for the victims and survivors. In the late 1970s, the Los Angeles area would be besieged by a surge in murder cases and at times, before one case could even be processed, another corpse would be found. Some victims were just dumped in more off the beaten path spots, while others were dropped right in people's yards, which horrified an already shaken community. Women would refuse to travel alone, even just to school or work, as patterns of targeting them had become obvious. This rash of brutal killings would last years and was not the work of a serial killer, but instead, the sick actions of multiple serial killers, all stalking Los Angeles at the same time. In City of Angels, City of Death, we are taken inside this horrific series of murders and shown how detectives managed these high profile cases. Throughout the 1970s and '80s, more than 20 serial killers stalked the streets of Los Angeles simultaneously and within miles of each other, murdering and terrorizing citizens — until the LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division banded together and tracked down the killers. From producers of ABC News' “20/20,” the new Hulu Original “City of Angels | City of Death” chronicles the group of LAPD detectives and their investigations, from launching stakeouts to tracking and catching some of that era's most notorious murderers, including the Freeway Killer, the Hillside Strangler, the Sunset Strip Killer and more. “City of Angels | City of Death” depicts the chilling details of the gruesome crimes through dramatic recreations and the first-hand accounts of law enforcement as they masterfully juggled multiple serial killer investigations before the introduction of DNA technology and under the pressure of unprecedented media attention. The detectives' discoveries changed the way authorities catch killers, revolutionizing modern methods. “City of Angels | City of Death” includes interviews with retired LAPD detectives Tom Lange, Robert Souza, Bob Grogan, Frank Garcia and Jerry LeFrois; survivors; forensic experts; eyewitnesses and more.

The Hillside Strangler Task Force's investigation becomes the focus of a media frenzy as they expand their search for the killer, but detective Bob Grogan has a creeping suspicion that the Hillside Strangler may in fact be two men working together. Is a woman slain near the beach the work of another serial killer? Meanwhile, detective Tom Lange gets a break in his pursuit of the Skid Row Stabber, who targeted the less fortunate — the homeless, drug addicts and alcoholics — leading to a confrontation in a darkened movie theater. Elsewhere, authorities found an aspiring model slain near a beach, and the LAPD believes it could be the work of another serial killer, adding a new case to the detectives' docket.
