Serial killer known as ‘Hollywood Ripper’ extradited to Illinois for 1993 murder of his teen neighbor

A serial killer known as the “Hollywood Ripper” and the “Boy Next Door Killer” has been extradited to Illinois for the 1993 murder of an 18-year-old girl named Tricia Pacaccio. Michael Gargiulo, who has already been sentenced to death for two other murders in Southern California, was a friend of the victim’s brother and lived near her family. He was a suspect in the initial investigation but wasn’t linked through DNA until later. Witnesses have come forward, including one who said Gargiulo admitted to killing a girl in Chicago. Gargiulo is being held without bond and will appear in court on September 20.
