Transgender killer confesses to 1990 murder of gay porn star Billy London after tip from internet sleuth

A transgender convicted killer has confessed to the 1990 murder of gay porn star Billy London after a tip from an amateur internet sleuth — but Los Angeles County’s woke District Attorney George Gascón has refused to file charges in the case that has haunted Hollywood for three decades.

The death of 25-year-old London, whose real name was Bill Newton, rocked the close-knit gay community of West Hollywood when pieces of his dismembered body were found in a dumpster on October 29, 1990.

The murder case remained unsolved for more than 30 years until the LAPD confirmed on Monday that they secured a confession from Daralyn Madden, who is already serving a life sentence in Oklahoma in 2007 for the murder of two other men, the LA Times reports.

Madden, a former skinhead, now identifies as a Jewish woman, the publication noted.

LAPD Det. John Lamberti said the break in the case came following a tip from stay-at-home dad and amateur sleuth, Clark Williams.

Williams discovered that Madden had previously claimed to have killed a man in LA when she was a self-proclaimed white supremacist and skinhead who led a second-life as a male pornstar named Billy Houston.

“It was a coincidence that I just could not ignore,” Williams said about his discovery.

Williams told the Times he was drawn to the case because of the similarities he shared with Newton. Both are gay men who were born on the same week in 1965 and grew up in northern Wisconsin before moving to larger cities.

In December of 2021, Williams joined the Facebook group, “The History of Gay WIsconsin,” where he found a post about Newton’s murder and became fixated on the case.

“Something was propelling me, moving me to just get involved in whatever capacity that I could,” Williams told the Times. “What I really wanted to do was to help tell Billy’s story, because I think he reflected the lives of so many young gay men and teenagers who came up in that time.”

While learning more from the Facebook group, Williams eventually tracked down Rick Paskay, who appeared to be the first local sleuth who dug into the case after police came up empty.

Paskay, who has since died, operated a skate shop in West Hollywood, but Williams uncovered that he was also a gay porn producer who worked under the alias Richard Lawrence at the same time Newton was in the industry.

In researching Paskay and Newton, Williams eventually found Houston’s name, and that led to the connection with Madden.

Madden, meanwhile, pleaded guilty in 2008 to the brutal kidnapping and murder of Steven Domer and her own accomplice in the crime, Bradley Qualls, in Oklahoma City.

Madden told police she and Qualls were looking to kill a gay man as part of an initiation into the Chaos Squad Skinheads gang, luring Domer to a secluded area before kidnapping him, beating him and strangling him with his own coat hanger.

Police said Madden later shot and killed Qualls, fleeing the scene before police arrested her.

Woke DA Gascon refuses to press charges....

 

[Crazy Cat Lady]

What is Gascon's reason for not pressing charges? Madden actually confessed to London's murder!

 

[Satanica]

I'm sure his excuse is "wokeness". Gascon should be removed from his position, and, if Madden injures or kills anyone else, Gascon should definitely be held accountable.

 

[Sugar Cookie]

I think because there is no physical evidence tying the man to the crime other than his words it would be hard to prosecute and convict.

 

[CancerMan]

Coincidence?
I think not...



I tried to find Billy's "art" before, but that was before internet was a thing

Madden, a former skinhead, now identifies as a Jewish woman, the publication noted.

Are you fucking kidding me, that's a troll and a very good one

 

[BBBLUE77]

Dem jailhouse brows tho!

 

[cubby]

From a skinhead white supremacist to a jewish woman, what's next, identifying as a kangaroo? The stupidity it burnsssssssss.

 

[Blunderbuss Firozabad]

This thread is confusing.

Murder trials cost money.
Madden already is serving a life sentence in Oklahoma.
Newton's family is satisfied the killer has been identified and "will die behind bars".

"Woke" or not, why would a DA in California pursue charges? That's just not prudent or necessary.

And what does actress Jennifer Coolidge have to do with anything?

Besides, Madden is an idiot who thinks it's appropriate to wear a pink yarmulke. As a woman. Outside of prayer. Why give any more attention to this tool asshole?

I don't want to jinx it, but I'd bet that next week he's gonna identify as an exotic dancer named Destiny.
