    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.

In reaction to the jailhouse suicide suicide of Freeway Killer Vernon Butts, the Los Angeles Count Health Department brought in Vonda Pelto, then getting her Ph.D. to become a Clinical Psychologist, to keep a number of other serial killers engaged socially and alive while awaiting trail. when she was hired to keep them from harming themselves before going to trial. It is all contained in her book, Without Remorse, which will hopefully hit the silver screen in the near future. In the book are conversations and interactions with men like Hillside Strangler Kenneth Bianchi, Sunset Strip Killer Douglas Clark, Freeway Killer William Bonin and others. They were all evil and, to a certain degree, charming and smart. Serial Killers are not stupid and rarely addicted to drugs or alcohol, which is a often assumed. William Bonin had a physical need to kill and thought out it all the time. It would strangle young boys after repeatedly raping them. They were unrepentant and remained so as Vonda explained; they are totally devoid of feelings about their victims, family or friends. It never enters their mind when they are torturing, raping and murdering their victims.

He and his girl friend killed a bunch of woman to their doom and a couple were decapitated and their heads were kept in a freezer. They were brought out, done up with makeup and used for the sexual pleasure of Clark with the help of Bundy, a truly disgusting act of sexual perversion. Vonda was particularly scared of him and he made several threatening gestures to her that really gave her the creeps.

    Details of Freeway Killer: Victims, Sex Involved, Killing Methods & Why: Without Remorse: In an eight minute segment from the Thunderstruck Radio Show Sancho Jones asks Vonda Pelto, who dealt with a number of serial killers for over 3 1/2 years from 1978-84 at LA Men's County Jail, for all the details about the Freeway Killer William Bonin, and he gest them in graphic details for Vonda had many frank conversations with Bonin about his killing methods, the boys he like to have sex with and murder, the reason he did it and where the real thrill of this activity came from. First of all he like young, white males between the ages of 12 to 19. He like them slender and it seems the killing aspect came about, in a way, by accident. At some point in the process he got the most enjoyment from killing the boys rather than the sex with them; that power over life and death really felt awesome to William Bonin and by accounts he tortured, raped and murdered at least 21 young boys. Bonin's accomplices, such as Vernon Butts, brought other methods of killing but, according to Vonda Pelto, Ph.D., author of Without Remorse: The Story of the Woman Who Kept Los Angeles' Serial Killers Alive, Bonin preferred to strangle his victims. In fact he found other aspects such as torture and sex and nothing compared to the act of strangling the young boys and looking in their eyes. Vonda was with him, at the cell block at Los Angeles Men's Central Jail, when he got word he was going to be executed for killing 10 boys. She asked him how he felt and Bonin, who was raised a Catholic, still held out hope of going to Heaven if he confessed his crimes to God. Vonda found this sheer lunacy but not totally surprising. Vonda went into the components she believes most if not all serial killers have in common; it is partially genetic, some sort of front lobe injury where the impulse is located, an obsessive compulsive disorder and an abusive childhood, Bonin had all these and thus Vonda cites him as the poster for serial killer personalities.

Of course, Vonda replied, when we are all in stressful situations, especially being in the Los Angeles Men's Central Jail every day talking with serial killers about their crimes, the humor is a defense mechanism or else a person would just snap. This is a natural human response and can be seen in all kinds stories throughout history and walks of life. When she got hired to counsel and keep these serial killers and high profile inmates from harming themselves before trial, she determined to write a book about the experience for a variety of reasons. She would record her daily experiences on audio every night and had them transcribed after leaving her post in 1982 after 3 1/2 years.

Vonda, author of Without Remorse: The Story of the Woman Who Kept Los Angeles' Serial Killers Alive, had close contact with this handsome and manipulative sociopathic murderer and really noticed how truly slick he was. Along with his cousin Angelo Buono, Jr. he tortured, raped and murdered 12 women.

She took away from her experience a paranoia that still exists and she passes that advice on to anyone willing to listen. Serial Killers are great at blending in with the crowd and are generally in control because they want to keep killing for years. They are not drug addicts or alcoholics, they can't be in that it would cause them to be careless and thus get caught.

Holmes, who was held in Los Angeles Men's Central Jail for 110 days, initially refused testify because Nash had threatened his life and those of everyone in his address book, which Eddie Nash had stolen. He eventually gave up some information and was released and Nash confessed to killing four people by beating them to death and died in prison. Holmes moved to Europe, because he was banned from doing porn in the United States because he had contracted aids, to continue his career and passed away from aids in 1996. Vonda Pelto, a clinical psychologist who spent over three years working with serial killers and other high profile criminals to keep them from killing themselves, then talks about how she organized a Halloween Party in the high security unit and how they walked down the ward and gave candy to various serial killers and other inmates. Douglas Clark, the notorious Sunset Strip Slayer, who decapitated his female victims, performed a rather scary representation of that for Vonda when she came by his cell. Then she talks about the jokes they had spawned in the Central Jail about the Trash Bag murderers doing endorsements for Hefty Bags because they didn't leak.

    Traits of the Highly Successful by David Rohlander, The CEO Code: Create a Great Company and Inspire People to Greatness With Practical Advice from an Experienced Executive. Studying the traints of those who achieve mightily can yield lessons for those seeking to climb the ladder of business, politics, military and research. David Rohlander has met a large number of successful people and been a high achiever in a variety of fields, and that knowledge has been transmitted in his new boo, The CEO Code. Respect and Power: Power is a real and necessary part of all relationships. Power is much like money, in that both can be used for good or evil. !e choice is yours and is dependent upon your personal values. !ere are many forms of power; let’s brie:y review a few. John French and Bertram Raven developed a useful model for power back in 1959. Our discussion is based on their views, as well as the work since the 1960s of many people, including Paul Hersey at the Center for Leadership Studies. Dr. Hersey is the originator of Situational Leadership, which he considers to be merely common sense. He also believes that leadership is simply in:uence. Power is one of the ways we in:uence others, and everyone has one or more forms of power. Power can derive from a person’s position or personal attributes. Legitimate or positional power comes from the title, position, or rank a person has in an organization. !en there are two other types or groups of power; one group is based on personal attributes, while the other is o5en referred to as formal or organizational power. Formal power may be broken into several areas that include reward power, connection power, and coercive power. Reward power is the ability to in:uence, control, or bestow rewards upon others. !is may be as elementary as assigning parking spots or determining annual bonuses. Connection power usually has political, family, or special relationships that provide the source of the power. It can be referred to as the “good old boy network,” the fraternity connection, or simply knowing people well because of your work group or discipline within a company. The last is coercive power. !is is well discussed in Machiavelli’s "e Prince. As the word coercive implies, it is the dark side of in:uencing people to do what you want them to do: “I’ve got a deal you can’t refuse.” www.DavidRohlander.com

    The Art of Leadership by David Rohlander, author of The CEO Code: Create a Great Company and Inspire People to Greatness With Practical Advice from an Experienced Executive. As a fighter pilot in Vietnam, a successful businessman and coach of executives and CEOs, David Rohlander has seen good and bad leadership, inspirational and dispiriting leadership. A bold leader with vision is rare in this world, but it can be created. An Excerpt from The CEO Code: If your intention is to communicate effectively with someone, it is necessary for you to have respect for that person. Many would argue that respect is earned and that not everyone deserves respect. A person is entitled to hold this point of view. However, as long as that is their perspective, they will have difficulty communicating with others. Recently, the president of the United States was interrupted by a reporter in the middle of a sentence during a news conference in the Rose Garden of the White House. !is behavior demonstrates a total lack of respect for the office, as well for as the individual holding that office. News commentators reacted strongly based on their political orientation, either for or against the president. Others were concerned because lack of civility has become commonplace in our country. No matter how you view it, the net result was a negative impact on effective communication between the two individuals, as well as the general population of the country. Lack of respect in our daily lives can be a lot more subtle than this example. I am reminded of the time I was meeting a CEO client in his office, and we decided to break for lunch at a restaurant. !e company was in severe "financial straits, and the week before there was a major layoff. As we were walking through the lobby, the CEO was chatting away, excited to show me his new sports car parked out front. I nodded to the receptionist, smiled, and did a little wave with my right hand. She was new to the office, and I had not seen her before.

    Courageious and Creative Decisions by David Rohlander, autthor of The CEO Code: Create a Great Company and Inspire People to Greatness With Practical Advice from an Experienced Executive. “This book is my legacy and I labored over every chapter, sentence and word with painstaking effort and pride. The reactions have gone beyond anything I imagined and it is my fervent hope it will enrich, not just monetarily, the existence of those who chose to read it. My experience writing the book mirrors what Winston Churchill said about such a task, ‘Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public’,” said David Rohlander. Broken down into three sections, Communication, Execution and Operation, David Rohlander’s The CEO Code contains a series of questions at the end of each chapter in Take Time to Reflect pages that consist of seven questions. Each of the three sections, or Parts, consists of five chapters. Part 1, Communication, is broken down into the following chapters: Trust, Respect, Understanding, Empathy and Resolutions. Rohlander, who flew 208 combat missions as a fighter pilot over Vietnam in 1967, begins the book with Communication because it is the foundation upon which all else rests and, as he states in first lines of the book, “effective communication takes more than talent, it is an art.” Building a leader requires the ability to “relate to people” and he shares his insights on “how to read people as part of the understanding required for effective leadership and communication.” Chapters for Part II, Execution are Action, Repetition, Habits, Attitudes and Feelings while Part III, Operation, gets into deeper waters with Teams, Delegation, Systems, Accountability, and Rewards. At the outset of Execution, Rohlander states that the “Cycle of Success is a core concept within The CEO Code” as it “explores proven and practical formula for setting goals and how to structure them so they positive and enabling.” Rohlanders sets the tone in terms of leadership in Part III, Operation, by likening a well-functioning company to an orchestra. First you need “quality music, then each participant must be in the same place on the score; each player of an instrument must be able and willing to play his or her part. You are the conductor of the orchestra.”
