How Veronica Compton Went From Interviewing The Hillside Strangler To Becoming His Accomplice

Together, Kenneth Bianchi and Veronica Compton came up with a plan to make it appear that the Hillside Strangler was still at large and muddy Bianchi’s case. Bianchi convinced Compton that he would be released if the authorities think they have the wrong person. The plan was for Compton to abduct a woman and strangle her like Bianchi and his cousin did to their victims. Since the two men sexually assaulted the women they killed, Compton had to leave semen on her victim to make the crime look the same (via A&E TV).

Compton carried out the crime, but it didn’t go as smoothly as they planned. While scoping potential victims at a bar, Compton met a 26-year-old named Kim Breed. Compton was able to lure the woman to a motel room and attempted to strangle her, but Breed was stronger than her. She was able to overpower Compton and immediately escaped and reported the incident to authorities. According to The Spokesman-Review, Compton had a vial of semen with her that she planned to inject into Breed to make it appear that she was raped. Compton was convicted of first-degree attempted murder and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
