This episode of The Redacted Report takes a hard, clear-eyed look at the Golden State Killer case, not by retelling the headlines everyone already knows, but by sitting in the uncomfortable spaces where the story actually lives.We follow the arc from Joseph James DeAngelo's earliest known crimes in 1974 through his arrest in 2018 and sentencing in 2020, with one chilling fact threaded through every phase: while California was being terrorized, DeAngelo was also an active-duty police officer. He wasn't just hiding from law enforcement—he was learning how it worked from the inside, and that advantage shaped the way he hunted, the way he covered his tracks, and the way he stayed untouchable for more than forty years.The episode opens by naming that truth right out loud, because it changes everything.The person stalking neighborhoods, breaking into homes, and destroying lives wasn't a shadowy outsider. He wore a badge, carried a gun, and walked into work like any other sworn officer. From there, the story steps back to his early life—childhood trauma, military service in Vietnam, criminal justice studies at CSU Sacramento, and a marriage that, on the surface, made him look like a normal young man building a future. But behind that veneer, something darker was already forming.We then move into the Visalia Ransacker years from 1974 to 1975, when DeAngelo committed more than a hundred burglaries and his first confirmed murder, all while serving as a police officer in Exeter. It's the first clear look at his patterns, his boldness, and the early moments when a different kind of attention might have stopped what was coming next. Instead, the case splinters, and the window closes. By 1976, just months after being hired by the Auburn Police Department, DeAngelo begins the East Area Rapist spree. Over the next several years, the Sacramento region is hit with at least fifty sexual assaults, each one escalating the fear and the stakes. The episode walks through how close investigators came—especially Detective Richard Shelby, who at one point was within arm's reach of the suspect. And yet, even with the net tightening, DeAngelo keeps slipping through, aided by his knowledge of police tactics and the blind spots that come with assuming the predator is always “someone else. One of the most haunting turns comes in 1979, when DeAngelo is fired from Auburn PD for shoplifting dog repellent and a hammer. On paper, it's petty theft. In reality, those items match the East Area Rapist's known methods so cleanly they should've set off alarms across the department. But they didn't. The moment passed as a minor embarrassment instead of the massive red flag it was, and DeAngelo simply moved on to the next phase. That next phase takes us south into the Original Night Stalker murders, stretching from 1979 to 1986. Here, the offender escalates from rape to routine homicide, killing victims while maintaining the same signatures and controlling routines seen in Northern California. The tragedy isn't only the violence itself, but the fact that law enforcement agencies failed to connect these crimes to the earlier Sacramento attacks, even though the methodologies lined up like fingerprints. The episode doesn't just describe that failure—it lingers on what it cost.The narrative then shifts to the years when the case begins to reawaken in the public eye, largely through the relentless work of Michelle McNamara. She coins the name “Golden State Killer,” brings the scattered crimes under a single identity, and spends years pushing the case back into the spotlight.Her death in 2016 adds a painful gravity to that chapter, but her book, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, leaves behind a surge of attention and pressure that helps fuel renewed investigative energy. Finally, the episode breaks down the genetic genealogy breakthrough that ended DeAngelo's run. Investigators upload crime-scene DNA to GEDmatch, locate distant relatives, and then do the slow, painstaking genealogical work to narrow the search. When DeAngelo becomes the focus, a covert DNA collection from a Hobby Lobby parking lot confirms it. In April 2018, he's arrested—an ending that feels impossible until it's suddenly real.We close with his guilty plea, the survivor testimonies that reclaim the final word from the man who tried to steal it, and a sober look at what this case forces us to confront. It exposes the dangers of law enforcement culture closing ranks, the catastrophic consequences of fractured communication between agencies, and the complicated future we're stepping into with genetic genealogy—where justice and privacy are now forever tangled together.

In this week's deep-dive, we're taking you into a case that haunted California for decades and still sends a chill through anyone who reads the details. For more than ten years, a masked predator moved through neighborhoods like a ghost — breaking into homes, stalking families, and leaving devastation behind. The numbers alone are staggering: over a hundred burglaries, at least fifty sexual assaults, and thirteen confirmed murders. He slipped between counties and police departments, stayed a step ahead of massive task forces, and then — somehow — disappeared. Not into the shadows, but into ordinary suburban life, where he lived free for more than forty years.This is the full story of Joseph James DeAngelo — the man the world would come to know as the Golden State Killer. We start back in 1974 in Visalia, a small agricultural city where a strange series of burglaries had detectives completely rattled. The person behind them wasn't grabbing TVs or cash. He was spending hours inside people's homes, taking small, personal things — a single earring, coins, women's underwear — and rearranging objects in ways that felt deliberate and unsettling. It wasn't just theft. It was a message: I was here. I know you. I can get to you.From there, we follow the escalation as the Visalia Ransacker's crimes tip into attempted abduction and then murder. We walk through the December 1975 killing of Claude Snelling, a journalism professor who died protecting his teenage daughter from being taken.And we cover the terrifying near-capture just two days later, when Detective William McGowen fought the prowler face-to-face and survived only because the suspect's gun misfired at point-blank range.Then the nightmare shifts north. In 1976, Sacramento is hit by a new kind of terror.The East Area Rapist begins attacking women in their homes with a level of planning and cruelty that left investigators stunned. We break down how his assaults evolved, including the moment he began targeting couples — tying up husbands and boyfriends, stacking dishes on their backs, and forcing them to listen helplessly while he raped their partners. We look at the psychological warfare he used to control entire communities: threatening phone calls, stalking routines, and the methodical surveillance he did before striking again.As the years pass, his crimes migrate south — and turn deadly. Starting in 1979, the man now known as the Original Night Stalker begins murdering couples in their homes across Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Orange counties. We go crime scene by crime scene, showing how the evidence slowly — and finally — revealed that Visalia, Sacramento, and Southern California were all connected to the same offender.We also dig into the long, frustrating decades of investigation: the dead ends, the jurisdictional chaos, and the breakthroughs that came only when DNA technology caught up to the case. And of course, we cover the seismic moment in 2018 when genetic genealogy identified the suspect, leading detectives straight to DeAngelo's quiet home in Citrus Heights — the same kind of suburb he once terrorized.The twist that still hits like a gut punch? During the height of his crime spree, DeAngelo was a police officer, using his training and insider knowledge to stay invisible.We close with the plea and sentencing — a historic reckoning where fifty-three victims and family members stood up in court to face the man who had stolen so much from them. Their impact statements are heartbreaking, powerful, and a reminder that this story isn't just about the monster — it's about the people who survived him. This episode is the result of hundreds of hours of research across court records, investigative files, victim testimony, and years of reporting. Our goal was to tell this story with care, accuracy, and respect — honoring the victims and the investigators who refused to let the case die. The Golden State Killer investigation didn't just end with an arrest. It changed law enforcement forever. Genetic genealogy opened a door to solving cold cases that once seemed impossible, and we talk about both the promise of that tool and the ethical questions that come with it.And we take a moment to recognize Michelle McNamara, whose relentless work on I'll Be Gone in the Dark helped reignite national attention and kept pressure on the investigation. She died in 2016, two years before DeAngelo was caught, but her voice and determination are woven into the story of how this case was finally solved. If you think you know this case, stick with us — because when you lay every chapter out in full, the scale and horror of what happened, and the way it was finally unraveled, is almost impossible to comprehend.

Thien Ho, the current district attorney of Sacramento County, delivers the first official account of the investigation, capture and prosecution of Joseph DeAngelo, one of America's most notorious serial predators. Known by many chilling names over the years, including the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist, the Original Nightstalker, and finally the Golden State Killer, DeAngelo terrorized California communities for more than a decade—and then disappeared without a trace for more than 30 years. It's a tale Ho recounts in his new book The People vs. the Golden State Killer, from Third State Books. As the lead prosecutor on the case, Ho recounts the exhilarating and harrowing experience of bringing a cold-case killer to justice and putting him behind bars for life. Rather than focusing solely on the criminal and the crimes, Ho's narrative centers the dedicated law-enforcement teams who never gave up their pursuit, and the courageous survivors of the GSK's crimes who fought to heal and regain control of their lives. Ho has hundreds of never-before-revealed details and firsthand insights, and this is the first time the public hears directly from the lead prosecutor who helped close the case. A portion of the book's proceeds will benefit Phyllis's Garden, a nonprofit that honors a GSK survivor and champions victims' rights. Ho, who comes to Commonwealth Club World Affairs for a discussion with award-winning journalist Dion Lim, will also share his compelling personal story: a Vietnamese refugee whose family fled Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War; he arrived in the United States knowing no English. He rose from being an intern to being elected Sacramento County district attorney in 2022, becoming one of only 10 Asian American district attorneys out of 2,400 nationwide.

Send us a textWhen the Golden State Killer terrorized California communities for over a decade, residents lived in constant fear, keeping windows closed despite sweltering heat and forming neighborhood watch groups to protect themselves. Monica and Neil from the Wine Camp Podcast join us to share their personal experiences living through this terrifying period of California history.This special collaboration episode explores the evolution of Joseph James DeAngelo's crimes, beginning as the Visalia Ransacker and escalating to sexual assaults and murders across multiple California jurisdictions. We discuss how his law enforcement background helped him evade capture for over 40 years, and how the geography of California—with its rivers, highways, and jurisdictional boundaries—complicated efforts to connect these crimes.The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Neil reveals that the killer ultimately lived just half a mile from her home, and Monica shares her discovery that victims lived mere doors from her current residence. We explore the breakthrough role of genetic genealogy in finally catching DeAngelo in 2018, and the critical contributions of true crime writer Michelle McNamara in revitalizing interest in the case.Most chillingly, we examine how DeAngelo lived as an ordinary family man while committing these horrific crimes, hiding in plain sight for decades before justice finally caught up with him. The plea deal that allowed even victims beyond the statute of limitations to deliver impact statements provides a powerful concluding note to this decades-long nightmare.Whether you're fascinated by cold case investigations, the psychological aspects of serial predators, or the innovations in forensic science that finally brought this case to closure, this episode offers unique insights into one of America's most notorious criminal cases from those who lived through it.

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing Joseph James DeAngelo, also known as the Golden State Killer. DeAngelo tormented the State of California - particularly here in the Sacramento area (very, very close to where we live) - for more than ten years committing burglaries, rapes, and murders. Due to his widespread crimes, it took investigators more than four decades to piece together the fact that the man that had become known as the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist, and the Original Night Stalker were all the same person. In 2018, DeAngelo was finally caught after a family member of his had uploaded their DNA to a genetic genealogy site. He was charged and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2020.

In this episode of Homicide Inc., we're taking a deep dive off the edge of the Golden Age of Serial Killers and submersing ourselves in the story of a monster with many names—the Golden State Killer. This serial rapist and murderer eluded law enforcement for almost half a century, leaving behind a blood-soaked reminder of why we lock our doors at night. His crimes were so grossly diverse and his hunting grounds so expansive that he was initially considered to be three separate offenders: The Visalia Ransacker, East Area Rapist, and Original Night Stalker. This creep was putting in some serious OT to tend to all his sinister vices. Let's take a look at one of America's most notorious serial killers—and how he got caught 44 years later. ★Enjoy!★I'd like to as a quick favor - please rate the Homicide Inc podcast if you haven't already.

Visit our store HERE for all of your favorite serial killer gear!!! Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. (born November 8, 1945) is an American serial killer, serial rapist, burglar, and a former police officer who committed at least 13 murders, 50 rapes, and 120 burglaries across California between 1974 and 1986. DeAngelo was responsible for at least three crime sprees throughout California, each of which spawned a different nickname in the press before it became evident that they were committed by the same person. In the San Joaquin Valley, he was known as the Visalia Ransacker before moving to the Sacramento area, where he became known as the East Area Rapist and was linked by modus operandi to additional attacks in Contra Costa County, Stockton, and Modesto. DeAngelo committed serial murders in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Orange counties, where he was known as the Night Stalker and later the Original Night Stalker (owing to serial killer Richard Ramirez also being called the "Night Stalker"). DeAngelo is believed to have taunted and threatened both victims and police in obscene phone calls and possibly written communications. True-crime writer, the late Michelle McNamara, is credited with coining the name The Golden State killer in her book I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer.

Episode Notes In this episode, Golden State Killer survivor, Carol, shares her story publicly for the first time with the #StillHere Podcast. Her story provides a missing puzzle piece that addresses the question of what this prolific killer was doing after his last known murder.  Watch the video interview with Carol by becoming a member on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/stillherepod “Tiny Dick DeAngelo” was first discussed on the #StillHere Podcast in “Season 1, Episode 2: Jane Carson-Sandler.”  The Golden State Killer started his reign of terror as the Visalia Ransacker by spying on women and ransacking houses in Visalia California from 1973 to 1976. After killing a man there, he moved on to raping women in Sacramento and surrounding areas from 1976 to 1979. At this time, he was known as the East Area Rapist. After this, he moved to Orange County where he killed at least 10 people between 1979 and 1986. At this time he was known as the Original Night Stalker. It wasn't until years later that DNA helped police learn that these three criminals were the same man. As far as we know, he stopped killing and attacking in 1986. He was arrested in April of 2018 and convicted in the Fall of 2020. May he rot.

Part 2: It Gets Worse. So in 1976, like mid 1976, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. was believed to have moved to Sacramento. And he ended up progressing from burglary to rape. The crimes were mostly in Carmichael, Citrus Heights, and Rancho Cordova which is east of Sacramento, and on June 18th, 1976, the first attack as the East Area Rapist occurred at 4:00 am. This man did terrible, terrible things to women and their families over the months he lived in Sacramento, and we break them down for you here. But long story short, we're glad he's behind bars and paying for his crimes. Our episode last week covered his time as the Visalia Ransacker, so be sure to check that out if you're curious, and next week we're covering the ending to this horror trilogy with his time as the Original Night Stalker so stay tuned! Stay safe out there.

Between 1974 and 1986 in the California area, Joseph DeAngelo murdered more than 13 people, raped over 50, and robbed over 120. He also had 3 different nicknames over the course of this time but eventually all the crimes were linked and he became known as the Golden State Killer. He started out as a burglar known as the Visalia Ransacker, as he committed these crimes in Visalia, California; most of which occurred near the College of the Sequoias. The Ransacker was a serial prowler, voyeur, burglar, and murderer. The first recorded burglary was on Tuesday, March 19, 1974 when $50 of coins was stolen from a piggy-bank. However, over the course of 18 months, his crimes escalated from peeping to petty theft of personal items, and he even ended up murdering a man on September 11th, 1975. While this episode focuses on Joseph DeAngelo when he was known as the Visalia Ransacker, our next two episodes focus on the East Area Rapist and the Original Night Stalker crimes, so be sure to give those a listen as well.
