Vonda Pelto, co-author of 'Without Redemption: Creation & Deeds of Freeway Killer Bill Bonin, His Five Accomplices & How One Who Escaped Justice,' Featured on the Gary Nolan Radio Show:
www.WithoutRedemption.com
Without Redemption was written on a number of parallel tracks that constantly intersect: First, it is the most detailed historical biography ever written about Bill Bonin, the notorious Freeway Killer responsible for murdering 22 teenage boys over ten-months in 1979-80.
Second, it is a psychological roadmap which charts the evolution of Bonin’s personality from abused child to sexual predator to serial killer. This is accomplished using documents from his childhood, war service, multiple California government mental health and penal institutions, witness testimony and the expertise of Clinical Psychologist Vonda Pelto, Ph.D., who had many sessions with Bonin and two of his accomplices while working in Los Angeles Men’s Central Jail.
Third, it is a narrative which, using long hidden documents, reveals the inner workings of Bonin’s mind, showing how he thought, felt, planned and viewed the world. The narrative displays Bonin, an abused high school dropout, cleverly manipulating lawyers, judges, doctors, social workers, friends, family, probation officers, government bureaucrats, detectives, journalists and, most tragically, the innocent victims of his rage.
Fourth, Without Redemption reveals the complex story of what happened after Bonin’s final arrest, when so much was in flux and so many moving parts were swirling about. Archived investigative documents, collected from a variety of sources, brings to light a number of surprising, shocking, sad and even funny events from those ten tumultuous months from June 1980 to March 1981.
Finally, it is a book which solves two murder mysteries and unlocks how one day of crossroads and coincidences, in the midst of the murder spree, profoundly impacted many lives and future events. -

Does Writing About Serial Killers Make One A Target, Tips For Women To Not Be Vulnerable by Vonda Pelto: In this fascinating segment Vonda Pelto, author of Without Remorse: The Story of the Woman Who Kept Los Angeles' Serial Killers Alive, is asked if writing her true life story about serial killers would make her a target for serial killers? Vonda thinks not and says serial killers seek easy targets and that is why women must act strong on the street by walking with a confident air, keeping the heads up and also having tools at their disposal should someone attack.
Always have your keys in your hands when walking to the car, have some kind of back up weapon, take a self defense class, and don't act weak with someone you may perceive to be looking at attack you.
She tells the story of a man who found a woman's purse, found her phone number through info, called her up to return the purse. She invited him in, gave him a cup of coffee, then he thought she was so nice that he raped her. She called the police and he told Vonda in jail he was mad at her for calling the police and that "she wanted it." Vonda found this astounding the told him so to his face.
This type of interaction is what led to Vonda Pelto becoming rather jaded about humanity and a loss of innocence she regrets not having anymore. Vonda calls it kind of sad that she lost this part of her personality, that sweet Southern Baptist, Church going girl whose father ran the Church and whose mother could never imagine her daughter doing such work.
