Eventually, Spears happened to meet lawyer David Wood, who was appalled at her situation and arranged for her to escape from the city.<ref name="cl13"/>

Encouraged by Spears' escape, Hannan ran away from Bianchi and Buono a short time later. With their [[pimp]]ing income gone, they decided to find more teenage girls. Impersonating police officers, they eventually found another young woman and installed her in the previous girl's bedroom. Additionally, they purchased (from a prostitute named Deborah Noble) a supposed "[[Prostitution#Clients|trick]] list" with names of men who frequented prostitutes. Noble and her friend, Yolanda Washington, delivered the trick list to Buono in October 1977.<ref name="cl13"/>
