Cindy Hudspeth, a 20-year-old Caucasian woman, was murdered on February 16, 1978. Her body was found in the trunk of her Datsun, which had been pushed off a cliff on Angeles Crest Highway. Investigators determined she had been strangled; ligature marks on her body linked her to the series of murders attributed to the Hillside Stranglers.

The Hillside Stranglers operated in the Los Angeles area from October 1977 to February 1978, kidnapping, raping, torturing and murdering ten females aged 12 to 28. Evidence from multiple scenes suggested two perpetrators. Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono were later identified as the cousins responsible; Cindy Hudspeth is described as their final victim.

Does anyone have additional details about Cindy’s movements or known associates in February 1978 that could help clarify her last hours?
