SYBIL
During his trial Bianchi put his armchair psychology to use as he attempted to trick psychologists (a couple successfully) into believing he had MPD. He would say that he, Bianchi, didn’t kill anyone it was his alter, Steve Walker. Steve Walker later turned out to be a student who Bianchi had previously tried to steal the identity of. The Movie Sybil, starring Sally Field, had aired on TV a few nights before, which investigators believe gave him the idea.

Under the bus stop is a manuscript
This was written by Victoria Compton, who fell in love with Bianchi through the trial and eventually had a relationship with him. She began communicating with him by asking him questions about murdering, ostensibly, to help her write her play “The Mutilated Cutter”.

Compton was released from prison in 2003.
