Um, this is my first FedEx case.
Let's see how it goes.
Yeah, this is her test run.
No, I'm just kidding.
Um, she actually did quite a bit of uh research into the Golden State Killer guys, aka Joseph James D'Angelo.
Um she had done a bunch of research semi-links and everything else like that.
So it helped me kind of streamline the process of what we're gonna show you guys today, because I got a combination of uh documentaries, links, maps, all that stuff.
So uh shout out to Kim for helping me behind the scenes with this particular serial killer, because you guys have been asking for this guy forever, man.
So we're gonna go ahead and make sure that we cover this appropriately.
Did a bunch of research on him.
Earlier, we've been looking to do this guy for a long time.
Cause I mean, Andy, they've been requesting him for what?
Quite a while, yes.
Okay.
So um, cool.
Without further ado, let's actually you know what?
We'll hit the chats real quick.
Um, let's uh let's pull up some of these chats real quick and then I'll um I'll get into the to the broadcast.

So that goes.
Um J.R. Choi says, uh hyped about this one.
Okay, uh guys, I'm reading it from far, so sorry, my dis vision from a oh I got my glasses.
No, I don't, never mind.
Uh actually, you know what?
You just read it, Kim.
You got it, because I can't see from where I'm at.
Okay.
You and Fresh should moderate a debate between Sneaker and Destiny versus Rolo and Saint to Center in studio.
Uh maybe I'll do that in the future.
Maybe, maybe we'll do that in the future.
You guys know that we're cool with all the parties, so maybe.
Uh, what's his next one?
You read him, Kim, because I can't see.
Hi from La Laredo.
Lareto.
Oh, Laredo, yeah.
That's that's Myron.
Hopefully, you get to break down the Jamie Zapata Ice Agent case.
Oh man.
Okay, guys, we're gonna go through this little quick little story time real quick.
Um so I never knew Jaime Zapata, right?
Rest in peace to him, but uh for some of you guys that are wondering, he was a he's a special agent of Homeland Security Investigations um from the Laredo office.
I think he was originally from Brownsville, and he got killed back in 2011 in Mexico while he was um in I think it was like outside of Mexico City by some Zettas, and um they were like transporting equipment, and I never knew him personally because I came on the job after the fact that I came in in 2014, he was killed in 2011.
Uh, but all of his friends, my my first supervisor was actually a very close friend of his.
And you guys want to know what's crazy?
It was actually my supervisor that was supposed to go to Mexico instead of Jaime.
So if my supervisor had went, and he's a good friend of mine.
Uh, if he had gone to Mexico City, uh or if yeah, if he had gone on that detail, he would have been the one that got killed in that situation.
So um rest in peace to him, rest in peace.
You know, obviously condolences to his family.
Uh, I will definitely cover the Jaime Zapata case.
Um, but yeah, they ended up catching the guys that killed him and prosecuting them.
Like the whole US government like went really hard on those guys to find them and go after them because they basically killed them for no reason, man.
They wanted to steal their car because they were like in an armored SUV.
And um, yeah, crazy story, man.
Crazy, crazy story.
But I know all of his uh a lot of his close friends.
Um I might even bring uh one of my friends that was like best friends with him on the show, and we'll talk about it for y'all.
So we'll see what happens.
We'll see what happens um with that one.
But um, yeah, rest of peace to him.
Uh what else, Kim?
Why did the officer who got shot by the Louisville mass shooter need to go need a go fund me to for his labot on me?
Isn't the government supposed to pay for that?
Um, at the okay, that's the case that we did, Angie, if you remember.
Um yeah, that loss we shoot it.
Yeah, because I I know that that is weird.
I mean, it might be because the surgery is too expensive for like it might not be covered by insurance.
Maybe that's why.
But I know that there's a go fund me for him.
If you guys go back to the Louisville shooter, um, I had I had his uh his link there to go donate.
But he's been recovering.
I've been following up with it.
So he's he's doing better, man.
So uh, you know, support and prayers to him and his family.
Uh and then we got uh who became a new member there?
Kim.
Mike Worth.
Mike who?
Mike Worth became a member.
Mike Worth, shout out to you, bro.
Welcome to the Fedetee, my friend.
Uh what else?

Uh but um, yeah, no, man, shout out to them for coming out and helping me uh behind the scenes.
What else we got?
The fact that you have an 18 year old and with a bunch of old heads says a lot about this podcast.
What the fuck?
I don't know what that was that supposed to be.
I guess he's making fun of you, Kim.
You got to do what I said.
I mean, being young is great.
so cute.
Good comeback.
Good comeback.
Um, shout out Myron, big fan.
Let's go.
W fed it, Don DeMarco.
Hey, man, appreciate that, my friend.

Uh, what else?
Oh, DEA's in the house too.
Yeah, this message is for Kim.
We're hiring undercover agents if you're available.
Ah, she's from Columbia too.
She can help y'all.
And you're from Interjean, right?

Okay.
Uh hello, Amru.
Um, please watch your mouth.
Thank you.
They put my government there.
Uh thanks, bro.
I appreciate that.
Don't worry.
I know y'all are sad because I'm bringing Ryan Dawson on the pod and exposing you guys, but it's fine.
Who else do we got?
Shout out to you and the ladies for this one, Myron.
As a born and raised Chicago.
I am super stoked for the Chicago outfit breakdown.
Yes.
Um, we might actually film that one tonight because uh the Columbo Crime Family.
We're gonna have Michael Francis on Wednesday, guys.
So DeMarco.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wanna I want to definitely make sure that I have um Demonco.
Some of you guys that are wondering, Michael Francis was a capital for the uh Colombo Crime Family.
He was making millions of dollars a week, basically doing all types of shit.
But one of the main things he's famous for is he was basically scamming gas stations uh and not paying taxes.
Well, you scam it the government uh through using the gas stations and not paying the government.
So made millions of dollars doing this.
I think something like one week he made like eight million a week doing this crap back back in like the 70s or 80s in New York.
So we're gonna talk with him on Wednesday, and then we'll cover the Columbo Crime Family for the week after Unfed it.
But this one is probably gonna be the outfit, which is Al Capone and the Chicago guys because they didn't call the mafia in Chicago the mafia or La Cosa Nosha, they called them the outfit.
Uh what else we got, Kim.
Have Angie send shout out to my friends in Lomas.
What is Lomas Turbos?
What is that?
Why don't you fed him?
It's a joke, Myron.
It's you're slaying with you.
Um so it says shout out to like Loma's Turbis.
Like, if you united together, he says, like, you must turn me.
Oh, okay, okay.
All right.
Interesting.
So funny, right?
Okay, so he's playing it's a word on uh a play on words in Spanish.
Okay, what else do we got?
How long did it take you to become a federal agent?
Uh ooh.
It took me a while.
So uh how I got on the job, guys.
Um, is I know we got a lot of new viewers.
So I was intern first.
I got an internship in 2010 uh through my school in Northeast University.
Um I was walking working in the Boston field office, and then in 2013, after I graduated college, I got my degree.
They converted me from um intern to special agent, and then I went to the academy.
So I kind of got my shoe in being an intern first.
Uh, but I did that for three years, learned the job like as an intern, right?
So by the time I transitioned over to an agent, I already knew how to use the databases, already knew how investigations work because I was basically shadowing an agent uh when I was an intern, and it made this the the whole process streamlined, so it made it a lot easier.
I was able to hit the ground running immediately when I got in uh uh in the field in Laredo.
Uh what else?
W2 out of four wife.
Ah, okay.
Appreciate that, sir.
And then we got here that's Jacobis.
What does he say?
Um, this says new producer, but they still have trouble speaking English.
Facts, bro.
Hey man, cheap labor, bro.
That's me.
Got a Columbia Venezuela's cheap labor, man.
Uh, what else we got here?
Myron, you're not safe either.
You built like an oversized eagle.
An oversized what?
Eagle.
Ego.
You build like eagle.
Like an oversized eagle.
Oh, like an oversized eagle.
Okay, he's making fun of me.
Okay, fantastic.
Thank you, sir.
And I think we're are we good now?
Caught up.
Uh, we have a couple more.
Okay.
Three more.
So I appreciate your.
I'll read these three that came in and then uh and then we'll get into the show.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Appreciate your hard work.
Keep up the grind.
All right.
What else?
When are y'all doing the Willig pick Willie picked on think they might have a few Fed victims that belong at the BBQ?
What?
Kim.
When are y'all gonna do the Willy pick tongue?
think they might have a few they think they might he might have the pet victims too long at the bbq No, I don't I don't know who that guy who that guy willy pick.
I mean, did you write that name down, Angie?
Is that someone that we have uh in the queue to do?
No, I Willie Picton.
I have a s like rubber picked him, I think.
Okay, that's what I think he means is the the pick the other the Canadian dude.
All right, what else we got?
As an agent, how do you feel about the YouTube predat catchers?
Predatory cat uh I mean you can't really do anything to them because like unless you get the police involved, like they're not gonna face any charges.
You know, you embarrass them and make them look crazy, but I mean, you know, you you might want to go ahead and get the police involved from the beginning, right?
Everything isn't about clout necessarily.
Yeah, because a lot of them like do this shit and they don't like get the police involved, so it's like, oh, fantastic.
Now you can't prosecute them because you didn't gather evidence properly.
And now, and uh worse than yet, that now they're gonna be way more suspicious and not want to do any commit any crimes, right?
So yeah, it kind of sucks a bit because if it's real, then that person is basically not gonna do that shit or lay low now.
What else?
Anything else?
Uh, we have a couple more, but they came in after.
Okay, cool.
So uh guys, so we're gonna go ahead and get into today's topic.
Today we're gonna be covering the golden state killer, aka Joseph James D'Angelo.
This is a crazy story how he got caught.
But we'll uh this is him right here, guys.
Joseph James D'Angelo, Joseph uh from Wikipedia.
So um Joseph James D'Angelo Jr., born November 8th, 1945, is an American serial killer, rapist, burglar, and former police officer who committed at least 13 murders, 51 rapes, and 120 burglaries across California between 1974 and 1986.
He's responsible for at least three separate crime sprees throughout the state, each of which spawned a different nickname in the press before it became evident that they were committed by the same person.
For all you guys that love Richard Ramirez, and we had covered him as well, aka the Night Stalker.
This dude, um, the gold that state killer, aka James uh uh Joseph James D'Angelo, he was the original night stalker, guys.
This guy was doing this crap back before Richard Ramirez was running around, and this guy had California, especially you know, the whole um greater California area, all the way from South to um Northern California in fear, man.
People were buying uh new locks, people were getting dogs, people were buying guns.
Like when this guy was going wild during this era, gun sales soared, right?
So that just goes to show you guys the fear and how he was able to terrorize the community because back then, guys, law enforcement wasn't as sophisticated as it is now.
And keep it thousands with y'all back in the 70s, America was a very dangerous place, man.
If you look at all the top serial killers, they pretty much all existed between the 60s all the way up until the 1990s, uh, until DNA testing became a very uh important factor in determining who these individuals were.
But these guys would basically be able to get away for decades, and they didn't end up catching him until 30, 40 years later, which we're gonna talk about that.
But um, let's switch over to the next tab.
So I got a documentary here that we're gonna play for you guys.
Um Angie, yeah, it's it's yeah, well, I was gonna say that um here.
Go ahead.
I was gonna say that this guy actually had like a bunch of names.
Like he got like East uh areas is area race rapist, which I was also like a mix.
He was he also got a name called uh Ear ons, which is like a mix between eat is area rapist and original nice talker.
Yeah, Iran, yep.
Yeah, Iran, and he had like a bunch of names, like the last one was like the golden stake killer that we we'll see later on why he was named like that.
He also had the diamond knot killer, the golden state killer, original night sucker, east bay killer, east area rapist.
He had like over 10 different yeah, he had one that was like ransacker, Vazalo right sacker or some crap like that.
Yeah, like he bro, this dude was doing all kinds of crazy shit and he terrorized the community for so long, and they weren't able to the reason why you guys are probably wondering, well, yo, Myra, hold on, whoa, whoa.
Why does this dude have so many nicknames?
The reason why, guys, is because he committed crimes.
Let's actually look at his crime map real quick.
It's a second tab, Angie.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
So if you guys look at this crime map here, right?
You look it was committing crimes in San Francisco, San Joaquin, uh, Stan Stanislau, YOLO, Contra Casa, Santa Clara.
So he was committing crimes in a wide area.
So they weren't able to link the crimes back to him, guys.
And go ahead and enlarge it real quick on the screen for them, Angie, so they can see.
So they weren't able to figure out who the hell this guy was, and they thought it was different individuals committing these crimes.
So it wasn't until they started um, you know, looking at the crime scenes, collecting uh DNA and looking at different um mo uh MOs, right?
Mo Motors of Emperor Upper and I that they were able to say, oh, this East area rapist, this Golden State killer, this ransacker, whatever it is, it's the same dude, right?
Because he was using certain uh tactics and tricks, which you guys are gonna see here in a bit involving dishes and other cutlery in the house um that made him very uh distinct and stand out.
And the reason why he was able to get away is because the guy did his homework and did a lot of recon before he would actually break into the houses.
But these are the areas that this guy had an absolute terror from 1976 to 1986.
Yeah, okay.
Um, so let's go ahead and to the documentary, Angie, which is I think should be the next tab there.
Yep.
Uh here, just pause it.
Just hit pause on it because you hit play on it.
Oh, hey, Blake.
Yeah, yeah.
Pause.
Okay, cool.
And that comes from the FBI.
All right.
So this comes from true crime mysteries here, guys.
Shout out to them.
Uh, we're gonna play this documentary, and then we're gonna be, you know, stopping it as needed.
And this is gonna give a pretty damn good overview on um this case.
So uh yeah, without further ado, let's go ahead.
Johnson said her assailant may be the East Area rapist who is suspected of committing at least four other rapes in the same area, or he may be an imitator.
Police are urging everyone in the Concord, Walnut Creek, and San Ramon area to be on the lookout and to report strangers in their neighborhoods who seem to be just hanging around or displaying any other suspicious behavior.
Fast forward a bit, Andrew just to hit the right tab a few times.
There you go.
Shout out to True Crime Mysteries YouTube channel.
It's pretty good.
Keep going.
Today, we're pleased.
I've done a new voiceover and a completely redone video, and I put it all together as one video into it.
The Golden State Killer went by many names.
It took a lot of years to discover he was the same culprit in multiple crime sprees.
His crimes dubbed him the East Area Rapist, the Diamond Knock Killer, the Visalea ransacker, and the original Night Stalker.
He was finally coined the Golden State Killer by crime author Michelle McNamara.
Let's start from the beginning.
Pause.
Uh that's the wife of a famous actor.
I forget his first name, but it's something that's Hayton, Peyton Oswald.
What is it?
Baiton Oswald.
Bam.
That's Peyton Oswald's wife right there, Michelle Nakamura.
And she like did a whole bunch of research into this case.
She's what you would call like an armchair detective or a s or they call him sloughs, where when a crime goes unsolved, like the community kind of chops in, gets in and tries to identify who the individual is.
If you guys want to really go down the rabbit hole of slews, the zodiac killer by far has the most slews I've ever seen in my life.
There's entire forums dedicated to trying to identify who the Zodiac killer is, which if you guys want you go back on my FedEx channel and watch that one.
That was actually one of my favorite breakdowns.
It's like a four-hour breakdown.
But we go into the Zodiac Killer, the crimes, all the suspects, um, each murder, the evidence in it.
Um it was it was really good.
One of my favorite episodes that I did.
But this guy, East uh, the Golden State Killer also definitely got a lot of people interested in trying to figure out who the hell he was.
And as you guys can see, all those different names, people didn't know it was the same guy at the time.
Because back in the 70s, right?
Another thing too I want to note for you guys in the 70s, guys, the computers uh weren't a streamlined thing, and national databases weren't a streamlined thing, and police agencies didn't necessarily work with each other nowadays, right?
We have streamlined um databases, right, like NCIC, uh NLITs, etc.
Which NCIC stands for the National Crime Information Center, and then NLITs, if I'm not mistaken, it says for the National Law Enforcement Telecommunication System, which basically what these systems do is it allows you to put people's criminal histories and records and bolos and warrants and all that stuff in one central database that all the law enforcement agencies in the United States have access to, to include the uh Canadian law enforcement agencies, by the way.
And it allows community law enforcement agencies to work together and communicate and has the contact information of investigating agents, detectives, officers, whatever it may be.
And this didn't exist, guys, back in the 70s, which again is another big contributor as to why a lot of these crooks were able to go free and not get caught because law enforcement agencies weren't sophisticated enough to work together to piece together, you know, evidence from this crime scene to another crime scene.
Imagine you're a detective out in you know, Stockton, California, and then you got another detective in you know Sacramento, and then another one in San Fran, etc.
And you have a bunch of crimes going on.
Well, you might not know to reach out to the neigh neighboring town and be like, hey, I got this and I got this, and this is the evidence that I got.
No one was sharing information.
And if you don't share information, bad things typically happen in the law enforcement world.
I mean, look at 9-11, right?
I will argue that um that most of these crimes weren't unsolved because the police wouldn't work together.
Like, I don't know what you're saying.
I think I think uh that the that and and the DNA, I think are the two biggest things.
Yeah, that kept uh serial killers like uh the peak of serial killers in the US was like in the 70s.
Like that's that was like the the the decade where you'll see like the most numbers of serial killers in this country.
Yes, all all the most prominent ones operated there in the 70s, whether it was said Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, um the Zodiac Killer, who else?
Uh Gary Ridgway, aka the Green River Killer.
Yeah, like most of the top serial killers were all operating in the 70s.
What's that?
Ed Kemper, um, this other guy that will like Yeah, the torso killer.
We gotta do him too, by the way.
Yeah, so but anyway, let's go back to the documentary.
All right.
Don't forget to like the video, guys.
Here you can enlarge it on their end for them.
Visalia was a community first hit by who would become the Golden State killer.
But at the time of these crimes, he was known as the Vasalea ransacker.
He honed his skills here.
It was where he took his first life.
And investigators knew he was building to something more violent even early on.
Visalia would be plagued with a violent prowler for nearly two years before he disappeared.
In 1974, reports began coming in about a prowler in the small farm town of Visalia, California.
There had been multiple sightings of a prowler in the neighborhood of South Demarie Street.
A few weeks later, a house would be ransacked.
Little was stolen, mostly just keepsakes, such as piggy banks, class rings, engraved jewelry, personalized items, or small collections like coins or stamps.
A distinguishing calling card would that he would steal one earring from a pair or a single cuff link.
The items he took were sometimes found nearby, or in the next home he ransacked.
Alright, so you guys are probably wondering like, wait, why is he taking like random ass items and maybe one piece of like a two set of earrings or whatever?
A lot of times, guys, these serial killers, they want to be able to relive their crimes, and they really enjoy and get a rush out of doing it, so they want to go ahead and take a trophy back from their crimes.
And you're gonna see in this situation, uh the Golden State killer originally started as like, you know, just a grapist slash um thief, but you're gonna see that his crimes start to become more and more and more severe and more violent.
Um because as you commit these crimes more and more, the need for that um the need for I guess that uh that rush, you need to do crazier, crazier shit to get same get to get that next level of rush.
It's kind of like a drug addict.
So you guys are gonna see him progress in violence throughout this documentary.
Let's get back to it.
He also stole any weapons in the house, firearms, ammunition, knives, tools, and even a billy club.
This immediately led investigators to believe he was already gravitating towards violence.
Occasionally he would only steal more practical items that seemed to be used for his personal use, such as packages of shirts, glue, canned foods, dishes, and a stereo.
He would often leave higher valued items, including money left in plain sight.
He would hit homes where homeowners were out of town.
And this proves right here, guys, you don't gotta show me Angie, it's fine.
Um this proves right here, guys.
The fact that he would leave money where it is and not take high valuable items.
He was stealing stealing, not necessarily to get monetary benefit, right?
Maybe that though that might be a small part of it.
What he was mostly stealing for was for the thrill and to have a souvenir slash trophy from each of his escapades.
Yeah, I will say that he was like a cleptomoniac.
Yes, yes, yes, and that that you guys are gonna see that him being a klepto actually led to him getting fired as a police officer uh later on.
Hey, Kim, you got anything.
I just found it crazy that he would also take like coupons for like local grocery stores, like he wasn't interested in taking anything valuable.
Yeah, like that's weird shit, right?
Like, let me go ahead.
Oh, yeah, I'm gonna get off of the fact that these guys live right next to a fucking stopping shop or some shit.
Like, what the hell, bro?
Like, you want to get a discount on some mangoes?
Like, what's going on here?
So, yeah, he would take weird shit, bro.
And and also this guy would linger around and eat the food too, which is also weird.
Yeah, he will commit his crimes and then he will go around into the kitchen and eat something.
Yeah, you know who else used to do that?
You guys should check out the episode.
Uh I covered the railroad killer, who actually ended up making it to the FBI top ten.
Um, I think his day was it Richard uh something Ramirez.
But I have an episode on the railroad killer, guys.
Go watch that one as well.
He also used to have a weird habit where he would break into the house, kill the individual, get their food, sit there and stare at their driver's licenses while he was eating the food and they were dead in the other room.
Very strange individuals, bro.
Like, what the what?
But anyway.
Anyway, let's keep going.
He would lurk in the same neighborhood for weeks before deciding on a target.
Investigators noticed that the house would have identical shoe prints.
The shoe prints would be under windows, paced around the backyard, and often established roots.
This patient and calm attitude was a sign that he did this to satisfy a different craving.
He would often enter the home through an unlocked window.
Sometimes it would be slipping a lock or forcing open a sliding glass door.
Yeah, I'm reading the chat right now.
You guys are right.
Richard Ramirez used to do it too.
But this other guy talked about the railroad killer.
He like pride, he would literally kill them, get their driver's license, stare at it while he was eating the food in the house, and then he would leave.
And he would eat half the food.
He made a per the purpose, uh, made it like on purpose, he would eat half the food and leave it there, and he would do that to kind of show like his dominance and like, hey, this is my mark.
Like I came here, killed them, ate their food, and I got their driver's licenses here.
So he had a very strange fetish with um looking at his victim.
So yeah, weird driver, yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe he got turned on by driver's licenses.
I don't know why, because the Texas driver's license is not that attractive, it's weird looking.
But anyway, let's keep going.
He gained entrance into a home.
He would create multiple escape points by opening additional windows, pulling off screens.
This was so he could have an easy exit.
If someone entered the house unexpectedly, and it also made hearing outside noises easier, cars passing, people walking, dogs barking.
All indicators that he had been spotted.
Once he was comfortable in the home, he would then begin ransacking.
He would open every drawer, cupboard, and closet.
He would collect up women's undergarments, arranging them in particular ways and in a deliberate fashion.
He would take photographs out of frames and stimulate himself using lotion found in the home.
Pause or sometimes he My Man would break in and rub one out in there, like, what is going on?
You know, um, which goes to speak to his perversion, obviously.
But yeah, I mean, the a lot, like I said, guys, like these, and here's the thing, they leave their DNA at the scenes.
Now you guys are probably wondering, like, what an idiot.
Why would you, you know, whack off at the scene and le and leave uh DNA evidence?
Again, guys, back then in the 70s, it wasn't a thing, man.
So luckily the investigators were able to go ahead and collect this stuff, preserve it, and then use it years down the road, which you guys are gonna see here later on.
But yeah, this isn't this is very common.
Another person that used to do something similar to this was uh BTK, who I also covered, um aka Dennis Rader.
He also used to like, you know, you know, slug his meat at the crime scenes as well.
So go ahead and check that one out as well if you guys want to see another strange individual.
Slucky slug as me, yeah.
We're on YouTube, so I'm trying to keep us somewhat clean.
Slug as me.
All right, let's get back to it.
Oh shit.
He would bring his own, additionally smearing lotion all around the house.
He would often cause minimal damage to the homes, knocking over bookshelves or pouring wine onto the carpet, or dumping liquids onto furniture.
He would often ransack multiple homes in one night, and on November 30th, 1974, there were twelve separate incidences connected to the Vizalea ransacker.
Although he was rarely seen, there were a few witnesses.
He was described as a Caucasian man with a fair complexion and light hair, a young adult, average height, stocky build, and a cleft in his chin.
He was described as physically fit as he was able to scale walls with witnesses saying he had strong arms and a firm grip.
The most common way people described him was that he had a plump baby face and a thick neck.
He was seen wearing jeans and tennis shoes, which matched the shoe prints at the scenes, and his shoe size was a men's nine.
By 1995, his crimes began to escalate in the early morning after and also another thing also that they noticed about this guy, guys.
When they looked at the footprints, the footprints were very firm into the ground, which means he would stand in one location for a long period of time and uh stalk his prey and go in at them at the best time.
This is why he was able to do this for so long and not get caught, is because he really studied his people and he wouldn't move, and he was really good at being silent and quiet and just being patient.
So when they did find um track foot uh footmarks, uh excuse me, footprints and markings, they were almost always like perfectly indented because he would sit still for hours and watch the people before he broke in.
He would study the house and everything.
Yep.
He would study the house, so he like had a perfect like escape plan and everything.
Yep, and as you guys saw before, he would he would open doors and windows as he was going through the home to create multiple escape routes, it was actually pretty smart because um Richard Ramirez didn't do that type of shit.
Richard Ramirez is a little bit dumber.
He'd just go in and just shoot and kill.
Like he didn't give a shit about this stuff.
But obviously for him, it didn't start out with him killing people.
It started out with him ransacking and then you know doing some weird sexual stuff.
But as it became more and more violent, he started to take on that other persona.
Uh let's get back to it.
I will say that also that this guy was very weird because he will be clever to some things and also very stupid to others, because he will leave like, yeah, like she said, they chew he will leave like little things like shoelaces, or like uh he will put like uh glasses or bottles on door frames and and uh against the door, so he will know if someone is coming or anything or preparing like the they house before the attack.
But also he will be very stupid to go like a bicycles like I mean again that that's very clever to avoid this street like main street so it who wouldn't get chased.
But whenever he go like well, you'll see it later on.
When whenever he will get caught or anything, he will just be like very like I don't know, very very high like like the anibiotic behavior.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Like he was very stupid to say.
Well, yeah, he was set he would set up all these booby traps in the house, right?
So so that he can be alerted if um anyone is walking around like you know, setting stuff up by the doors or whatever, because he wasn't really good once he was confronted a lot of the times, which you guys are gonna see here.
He'd like run around or shriek or whatever.
So he used to set all these things up in place because he wasn't really good with the confrontation.
He obviously becomes better and better at it as he does this more and more, but he set all these booby traps up to kind of be able to alert himself should someone come near him, etc.
Yeah.
Um, let's get back to it.
A man entered the home of the Snelling family while they slept.
Claude Snelling woke, hearing strange noises.
He was already on edge, having confronted a prowler peeping into his daughter's window seven months prior.
He opened the door to his bedroom and saw the sliding glass doors leading to the backyard were wide open.
He ran to the door and saw a man attempting to kidnap his daughter.
He shouted and ran at the man but was shot twice.
The gun pierced the silence in the early morning.
The assailant fled the scene, escaping in a wooded area behind the home.
Claude died of his wounds, and his daughter would later undergo hypnotherapy to try and remember as many details about the man who had killed her father.
She remembered that the night before That's gotta be every dad's worst nightmare.
You you like see your daughter getting kidnapped by some dude in a ski mask late at night, you know, after a string of burglaries and break-ins.
That's literally gotta be the worst thing ever.
But W dad for trying to defend his daughter and dying in the process.
Um, but yeah, rest in peace to him.
Let's get back to it.
She'd heard a noise outside her window.
She looked, but it was too dark to see anything.
She remembered being woken up to an immense pressure on top of her body.
It was a man lying on top of her.
The man had a hand over her nose and mouth.
When she struggled to breathe, the man growled, Don't scream or I'll stab you.
She stayed quiet and he removed his hand from her face and growled again, You're coming with me.
It was then that he stood up and showed her he had a gun.
He kept a hold of her arm, and when she asked him, Why are you doing this?
Where are you taking me?
But he didn't answer.
She began crying and resisting to slow him down, knowing nothing good could happen if she left the house.
This is something he also used to do, guys, which was very strange.
He would change his voice when he would talk to his victims in a very weird, sinister type tone.
Okay, and actually, um Kim, do me a favor, Google um phone call from uh from um Golden State Killer, and I'll play you guys an excerpt of how he would speak to his victims.
So he is very very strange, uh bizarre.
Uh let's keep get back into it though while Kim pulls that up, uh, Angie.
Yeah, back to the documentary.
She noticed he had left the back door open already.
She dug her heels into the carpet as hard as she could, which made a loud noise.
This was what woke her father.
The man had started dragging her out of the house.
She was already a dozen feet into the yard and through a gate that had been left open, and under the car park when she heard her father's voice yell at the man holding her arm.
She made eye contact with her father, and for a moment everyone stopped.
Her father lunged and the attacker shot, and then was gone.
It had all happened so fast.
The weapon Claude was murdered with was determined to be a Marocco revolver that had been stolen by the Visalia ransacker just two weeks before the murder.
The Snell's neighborhood had also had multiple incidences of evidence of the Prowler and vehicles being broken into before the shooting.
After the Snelling murder, nighttime stakeouts began in the neighborhoods the Prowler had previously been sighted in, but the ransackings continued.
On December 10th, 1975, Officer Bill McGowan on stakeout saw a shadowy figure appear near a garage where he'd been hiding during the stakeouts.
The garage had purposely been left open by the police.
There was another officer inside the garage.
He watched as the figure crept around the hedge and peeked into the garage.
The Prowler made his way along the home towards the backyard.
Officer McGowan quietly followed him and observed the prowler toying with the lock on the back gate.
That was when he clicked the flashlight on the prowler's head.
Oh my god.
He had been wearing a scheme.
So this dude went from, you know, on that sinister type vibe, you know, telling girls, oh come with me.
The dude basically turns into fucking Batman.
Then as soon as the police catch him, he goes, Oh my god!
And he shrieks and he starts acting like a girl.
So you know, the thing with this guy is he kinda was the pussy guys, like he would set up all these booby traps and set himself up with all these escape rods because he really didn't want confrontation like that.
He wanted kind of get in, steal, you know, grape to hit to whatever he wanted to do, maybe whack off to some lotion and then leave.
But if he got confronted, he would he wasn't prepared for it.
Um you got that clip, uh Kim?
So you know how to do it, right?
Yep.
Um right there.
So we're gonna go ahead and play a portion, guys, so you hear what this guy's voice sounds like real fast.
So he actually went ahead and called one of his victims after the fact, and this is what he said.
Oh, you know what?
Oh my bad, my bad.
Pause it.
You you gotta send that tab to Andy.
Don't worry, I'll uh I'll I'll I'll do that because they're not gonna hear from that computer.
Okay.
That's my bad.
Uh go back to the documentary, uh, Angie.
You were trying to say something, by the way.
No.
Oh well.
Uh yeah, I was gonna just say that uh when he killed that man.
Mm-hmm.
Switch the camera to you.
Yeah.
When he killed that man, that was actually like his first reported victim that that he like his first murder.
The the father of the girl.
Yes, yes, that was his first murder.
So he basically like um yeah, he hated confrontation, like he was scared of confrontation, so when this gay guy like came after him, he just like ran off on his bicycle and just like shoot him from like this from the bicycle and he killed him and let the girl go.
So it was just like that this is what I mean when I was.
He wasn't planning for that.
Yeah.
In this situation, but that would that's what started the trend.
And and you know they always say with like murder, the the more times you kill the easier it becomes.
So, uh alright, let's keep going here with the doc.
And guys, don't forget that we got almost two thousand y'all in here, master.
Yeah, like the video, guys.
onto his head.
Officer McGowan got a good look at the suspect and yelled, Police officer, hold it right there.
The suspect vaulted over the gate and took off running in a zigzag pattern through the yard.
Officer McGowan ordered the suspect to stop and put his hands out, but when he kept running, he pursued.
The suspect continued to scream, Oh my god, please don't hurt me, in a bizarre, high pitched and oddly feminine voice.
The officer fired a warning shot, which also alerted his partner.
The suspect hopped over fences with an intimate knowledge of the area.
The man stopped running only five feet from the officer and put a hand up, his back facing the officer.
His other hand began rummaging through his coat pockets.
Before the officer could react, the suspect spun around and fired a shot.
Officer McGowan fell, and the suspect ran off.
I fell down the the impact uh knocked me back.
He continued to run uh throwing some uh items uh apparently uh taking the burgery the area.
We obviously didn't take the full run of that uh bullet that they fired what happened there.
Yeah, the uh projectile went into the end of my flashlight, which is a cow light, the big uh metal one.
And uh went through several batteries and lodged uh in the back the back portion of the flashlight.
The Vasalia ransacker eluded police that night, despite the entire police force tracking his prints and using police dogs.
McGowan was able to add to the description that he drew his weapon and shot with his left hand.
He worked with the sketch artist to come up with these images.
Officer McGowan served as the member of the Vizalia police department for many years, where he retired after a long and honorable career.
Even in his retirement, he continued to help the Vizalia ransacking case.
And after he passed, his son And guys, I want you guys to kind of not gloss over the fact.
Think about that.
He was able, he got caught by the police, right?
Red-handed, and he was able to evade capture.
That's testament to how much homework this guy would do as far as finding escape routes and setting himself up to not be caught after the fact.
He was able to lose a police officer that's extremely familiar with the area and get away and not be caught.
So um, this guy definitely, you know, cross his T's and dotted his eyes as far as like creating escape routes and setting himself up to win so that he could go ahead and get away from the crime scene.
And a big part of that is because he was a police officer, so he kind of knew police procedure, so he would park his car blocks away and have the car set up so that when he after he committed his crime, he'd be able to run to it where the car was, and that car typically was gonna be outside of the perimeter where the police would secure, so he could just get back in his car, act like nothing happened, and drive like a regular s regular citizen and be no one being none the wiser.
So um, he used to set himself up for victory when it came to these uh situations, and that comes from him doing his homework.
What he would do is he would make sure that the air the house he was going into, there was like a park nearby, and he would ride the bike to the park where he would leave his car at, and that's how he would escape, and that's how he basically escapes from the police officer that time that he was caught.
And he was also the one investigating his own cases due to him working for the police.
Well, it will be a park, or it will be like a school, or it will be like an open space.
Usually it will be like he will look for open spaces near the the house victim, the vic the victim's house.
So he will like use it as an escape.
Um I don't know, like escape route, yeah.
Yeah, he would he would really study the area, the houses and everything to not get caught.
Yep.
All right.
So um, okay, let's uh I and I was able to pull up that video.
Um, Andrew, I got it there for you on the side.
Play that video real quick of the him uh with that threatening uh phone call.
There you go.
This is it right here, guys.
So we'll play it hit dismiss there.
This account isn't signed in on this one.
Skip to Pause, move it to where 52.
That's kind of where I think it starts.
And I think he made this phone call uh in 1977.
He called one of his victims and terrorized them.
So this kind of gives you guys an idea of like how this guy would behave like sound when he talked to his victims.
Go ahead, play.
This guy had nothing to do with his life, honestly.
Hello?
You got radar?
Hi?
Who's radar?
I'm sorry, Mr. Mark.
Hello?
*Sings* *Sings* *Sings*
So the victim identified the voice.
So pause, pause, pause.
After 20 seconds of heavy breathing, the caller whispered, gonna kill you, gonna kill you, gonna kill you.
Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch.
Fucking whore.
Okay, this guy definitely needs to read my book, Why Women Deserve Less, because he's mad as hell.
What the fuck is going on?
Needs to get some RP awareness.
Play it, play.
Hello?
I'm going to kill you.
I'm not gonna kill you.
I'm not gonna kill you.
I'm not gonna kill you.
I'm not gonna kill you.
Pause.
Yeah, so four days later, a man claiming to be the GSK or Gold and State Killer called the contact counseling service and said, I have a problem, I need help because I don't want to do this anymore.
After a short conversation, the caller hung up.
But you guys kind of get the idea that this dude was on some fucking demon time right here.
Calling one of the victims back and you know, making all these threatening messages.
He was definitely a weirdo on that one.
You got something, Kim?
He would also call the police and tell him that, like, hey, I'm gonna attack tonight.
I'm gonna be at this location and everything.
And there was one case where he was actually at the location, and even then they weren't able to catch him because the police that was on duty that night just thought it was a joke and didn't pay attention to him.
He like rode his bike right in front of him.
Yeah, definitely uh this guy was on some weirdo time.
Let's go back to the documentary.
But I just wanted you guys to kind of hear his voice and get an insight as to what type of individual this is and how he really got off on creating fear with his victims.
And went on to continue his work.
After this incident, The ransacking in Vizalea stopped.
The investigation for the Vasalea ransacker remained to be the most expensive in Vizali's history.
His crimes in this era of his life amounted to one murder, one attempted kidnapping, one attempted murder, and over one hundred burglaries.
He was active as early as nineteen seventy-three, and police are now trying to connect him to burglaries in Exeter, California, which had begun in nineteen sixty-eight, and a spree of robberies dubbed the Cordova Cat Burglar.
At the moment, however, there is no evidence linking him to these.
But the MO is the same as the And Exeter, just so you guys know, is the police department that this guy used to pretty much work for.
So the MO was the same, and they think that it was him that was committing these burglaries as well.
So this dude might have been committing crimes since the freaking seventies uh sixties, guys.
Let's keep going.
Azalea Ransacker, which is why it is without a doubt all crimes were committed by the same man.
All right, pause.
So now we're gonna get into uh the the ear era, the East Area rapist era.
Before we do that, I'll read some of these shots real quick so they don't pile up too much.
And shout out to Angie, by the way, and the ones and two.
She's not doing too bad for a first time.
Um we pull some of these up.

It's not just all smoke and mirrors like LA.
Good.
Caught up.
Yeah, we're all right.
Let's get back to the uh to the documentary.
So now we're gonna go into the East Area rapist era, guys.
So this is where stuff starts to get a little bit more violent.
Teenage girl was raped today in her home in Contra Costa County.
And though officials are not saying it was the work of the East Area rapist, they do say the crime was committed in his style.
Betty Ann Bruno has more.
Law enforcement officials from every police agency in Contra Costa County tonight are looking for the man who raped a 13-year-old walnut creek girl early this morning.
Y'all see that 1970s drip, man?
Look at them.
They styling on all y'all, man.
1970s swag.
Let's go back.
Let's continue.
The young victim was attacked in her rancho San Miguel home.
Police say she described her attacker as a white male, six feet tall, weighing 185 pounds.
I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
He apparently was in the residence for approximately 45 minutes.
We don't know how he gained entry.
She was bound.
He raped her.
He didn't bother anyone else in the residence.
And the young girl's father and older sister were inside the residence at the time, were unaware of the attack.
Johnson said her assailant may be the East Area rapist who is suspected of committing at least four other rapes in the same area.
Or he may be an imitator.
Police are urging everyone in the Concord, Walnut Creek, and San Ramon area to be on the lookout and to report strangers in their neighborhoods who seem to be just hanging around or displaying any other suspicious behavior.
This is Betty Ann Bruno in Walnut Creek for the 10 o'clock news.
Rancho Cordova, a suburb in the Sacramento area in the early 1970s, was considered a sleepy and safe residential area to raise a family.
In the 1950s, Aerojet had opened its headquarters there, which was causing a suburban housing boom, turning the open vineyards into neatly organized neighborhoods of single story homes.
However, it wasn't a perfect community.
Memories from the 70s were littered with both positive hot summer days spent by the river and those that weren't so fondly looked upon.
Homelessness and drugs.
By far though, one needs only mention a name to stop folks who grew up in that area in the 70s dead in their tracks.
The East Area Rapist or Ear.
This was the first community he plagued with escalating violence.
It meant something to him.
As even when they thought he had moved on to a different area, he would keep coming back.
Many who investigated had believed that this was where he lived, his home.
His first attack was on June 18th, 1976.
A call came into the Rancho Cordova police department.
I mean, this is kind of theory here, but I suspect another reason why he changes MO guys in this era is that the he basically the police were starting to catch on to him.
He used to work in law enforcement himself.
So he said, Okay, let me go ahead and change how I commit my crimes.
I mean, I might still burglarize here and there and still be able to come keep my mementos and be able to get my rocks off, but now I'm gonna be more violent, so they might not be able to link um me to the past crimes that I was committing in the other area, and that's why they had all these different nicknames.
And for him, he probably looked at it like, oh, now they got a new nickname.
They don't know I'm the same guy in all these situations.
So guys like this, serial killers like this guy, a lot of times they're narcissists and they keep up with the news, and they'll go ahead and adapt the way they commit their crimes to how much press coverage they're getting so that they can kind of avoid detection.
And back in the 70s, guys, remember there was no social media.
The only way people got their news was through newspapers and you know, conventional mainstream media that we all laugh at nowadays.
So he would keep up with that.
A lot of these serial killers would.
I know Big TK was huge with doing this, said Bunny, etc.
and they would change sometimes the way they did things so that they can try to go ahead and lead police on a false trail.
So I think that's another big reason why he switched up how he did things.
Squad, you ask some angel.
Yeah, also let's not forget that this guy has talking to Mike Angie, bring it closer to you.
Oh, sorry.
Um, this guy had also like an associate in the police science.
Um, and he studied uh he had a bachelor's on criminal in criminal justice.
So that's that's why he he became a police a police officer.
He also went was a veteran in the Vietnam War.
So he had a like a lot of background on like how the police will operate.
Yep, and tactical experience.
Yeah, he was also like Marian said, he will keep up with the with the media, he will keep up with the news.
So whenever like the the newspaper will put like details on how these um round sucker burglary or something will attack, he will change his mother's apprentice.
Yep, and one of the times they said that oh, he only attacks women, so then he started attacking men after.
Yeah, so non-man like couples.
Yeah, he would attack couples.
So um, so you know, this is just kind of goes to show that the guy was definitely aware of what was going on and switched how he moved so that to avoid police detection.
Uh let's get back to it.
From a twenty-three-year-old woman, she had managed to walk backwards, knocked the phone onto the floor, searching for zero with numb fingers.
Her hands were tied behind her back, tied so tightly that she had lost circulation.
She was calling to report a home invasion and sexual assault.
She told police she had been awoken to a man standing in her doorway.
She had initially thought she was dreaming, thinking to herself, who wears a ski mask in Sacramento in June, before realizing the danger before her.
She noted that the mask was strange.
It was white with the coarse knit like material with eye holds cut out and a seam down the middle.
She also noted he was about five foot nine, moderately muscular, wearing a blue t-shirt and grey canvas gloves.
She also noted he had very pale legs with dark hair.
He wasn't wearing pants, breathing heavily, and holding a knife.
If you make one move or sound.
My man, I guess he forgot to tan before committing this assault.
Let's go back to it.
I'll stick this knife into you, he whispered.
He had brought rope and tied her hands, but then opted to take a sash from her closet and use it to buy her hands instead.
In between assaults, she could hear him in the house ransacking from her bedroom shawls.
She could hear him opening drawers and rifling through her contents.
He spoke in a low guttural whisper through clenched teeth.
Pause.
He had cut her above her brow, which she felt was an accident.
Which, you know, you guys already heard how he sounded when we played that excerpt there.
So it would be that weird, heavy breathing, strange creepo voice.
Yeah.
Let's keep going.
But police had concerns about testing his limits for violence.
In the weeks leading up to the attacks, what would later be noted as a trend.
His first victim had seen an older dark, medium-sized car drive by her house several times.
She could never make out the face, but it felt like she was being watched.
She had also started to receive frequent hang-up calls.
Police had initially thought that the attacker was some kid, a punk who would be caught quickly, but there was something about this rapist that was different from others.
He was careful not to remove his gloves.
He had meticulously learned his victim's schedule.
Although the house had been thoroughly ransacked, he had only stolen relatively low value items.
He would continue this trend, attacking single women who lived alone or with small children.
He would bounce around different suburbs in Sacramento, Rancho Cordova, Carmichael, and Citrus Heights.
It would follow a similar pattern.
Calls of a prowler, shoe prints spotted under windowsills, homes being ransacked.
Still nothing of value was stolen.
Repeated dropped calls, occasionally those who answered the phone, heard breathing.
sometimes threats like "I'll kill your husband" Hello?
Hello?
This is what we heard earlier.
Yeah.
Here, you can tap over a few seconds.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Total ten victims.
His fifth victim, Jane Carson, recalled cuddling her son in the early morning hours on October 5th when she heard someone running down the hall.
Her husband, a captain in the Air Force, had just left for work moments ago, and she had assumed he had forgotten something.
Jack, is that you?
Did you forget something?
A man wearing a ski mask entered um Yeah.
So I was watching an interview of this lady.
Uh-huh.
Um recent like a recent interview of this lady.
And this guy entered his her house three minutes after her husband was gone.
Three minutes.
Yeah, that means he was watching for a while.
Yeah, he was waiting.
He was waiting for the guy to come out so he could enter.
And he tied the the the baby, the kid, who was like four years old or something like that.
And then he tied her.
So this is crazy to me, like to know uh for him to do it so quick right after.
But I mean that tells you that he did his homework.
Yeah, like the fact that he was so confident to enter in three minutes after the guy left, that tells you he'd probably been watching them for weeks.
And also, um well he committed like the attack, the grape.
He will take the kid to the no other room, he will do it, and then he will take it back to her right next to her.
And he then they he will leave and leave leave them like died up.
The whole time that he was like graping her, all the mom would say is like, please don't kill my kid.
Yeah.
And like she was like in tears and like odd like worked around and he just gave her her kid back like nothing.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm done here.
I'll see you.
Bye.
I guess uh the you know, what what did I say?
Ejaculate and evacuate.
That's what he probably would do.
It was like, Yeah, I gotta get out of here.
Fucking weirdo.
All right, let's keep going.
He was holding a butcher's knife.
Jane had been sitting up in bed, her three-year-old sleeping next to her.
Shut up, or I'll kill you.
I just want your money.
He whispered through clenched teeth.
Okay, whatever you want.
Jane complied.
He bound, blindfolded, and gagged both Jane and her son.
He then picked up the child and moved him to another room.
Jane was now in a full-on panic, not knowing where her child was.
He repeatedly told her to shut up.
She said he must have told her at least fifty times.
You guys are gonna see why those dinner plates and cups become uh very important pieces of evidence later on.
keep going.
When she knew the intruder had left the house, she ran to the neighbors and got help.
The attacker had entered the home through her son's bedroom window.
Only moments after her husband had left.
Three minutes.
And only two weeks prior to the attack, they had been a victim to a strange burglary, where the intruder had also entered through their son's bedroom window.
Uh pause.
Thief had that that right there, guys.
The reason why he was so brazen is because he had broken in before, so he felt a little bit more confident, so he did a test run, it looks like, and then he went back and actually did the real thing right after.
Keep going.
I think you can hit the space bar, Angie, to make it easier for yourself.
...rings, but had left behind some jewelry that had been stolen from their neighbor's house.
Police had been sure it was the same guy whose primary objective had never been theft.
Jane and her husband hadn't been concerned about a rapist in the area.
There had been a media blackout at the time regarding the crimes of the East Area Rapist.
Jane would later tell media outlets that she would have taken more considerable precautions had the police been more open about what they had known about the attacks.
Rumors had swirled about the attacks because of the blackout, the police couldn't dispute the stories, and strange details began to emerge about the ear mutilating victims.
He began targeting more affluent neighborhoods.
Perhaps because of the lack of accurate press about him.
He attacked twice in one night.
Shout out to the news media.
You are fake news.
They're messing up.
Let's keep going.
One of the victims was a housewife in Carmichael.
Police felt he was pushing into the nicer neighborhoods to get more attention.
In the 1970s, there was a dramatic uptick in crime in California.
Most detectives who worked that decade referred to it as the dark times.
His first crimes had.
And guys, it wasn't just dark times for California.
It was dark times all over the United States.
Inflation was going through the roof.
Uh obviously we had just been in the Vietnam era uh situation Vietnam War.
Um, you know, you had a bunch of crime going on in New York City.
They used to call it Fear City back then.
The mafia was running rampant, serial killers running rampant.
Technology wasn't as uh um prevalent as it is now.
You know, they didn't have cell phones to record these crooks, so there was all kinds of crazy crime going on in the seventies.
That's why the seventies guys was referred to as pretty much the heyday of when mo most of the most prolific serial killers were operating.
All of them pretty much had a golden run during the seventies, and it's because of all these things that contributed to it.
Let's keep going.
...been reported, but once police realized they were dealing with a serial rapist, they opted to enforce a media blackout not to validate him with the press or scare him off from the region.
October had brought three more attacks after Jane's.
The nineteen seventies was a time long before they had dedicated departments to sex crimes.
Long before there was criminal profiling, terms like signature behaviors and rituals were often used to distinguish offenders from one another.
In Jane's attack, like the attacks before, he had cut her just on the shoulder.
Police believed he was suppressing an urge to inflict more pain.
In the assaults following James, he had begun clicking scissors and threatening to cut off toes.
He would stab the bed next to victims, and psychological torment became a new signature of the ear.
He would often use their names, mention personal information such as their high school to torment them, making them believe that they knew their attacker.
He would stand silently, sometimes for hours, making victims believe he had left before making a noise to indicate he was still there.
They like imagine how crazy of an individual you have to be where you break into someone's house, assault them, like sit around, they think that they're safe, and then they just hear you still there breathing, acting crazy, bro.
Like, yo, this dude was on some serious He just wanted to terrorize them.
And here's the other thing too.
You know, the by him saying, like, oh, I know where your high school is, I know this, etc.
That would go ahead and create even more fear in the victim, so that they couldn't feel like, okay, should I go to the police or whatever?
This guy knows who I am, he knows where I live, he knows like he really knows what I do.
So he would also do that because guys like this get off on the fear of their victims.
So and he had he had nothing but time.
He would just sit there and you know, stalk them and figure out their life uh situation so that he can go ahead and terrorism even more.
Uh let's keep going.
Ear was always described the same, white, five foot nine, late teens, early twenties, medium athletic build, clenched whisper, small penis.
He spoke hurriedly.
Whoa, they bro.
Those girls were like, This dude got a small D, he can't even do it right.
What the fuck, man?
God damn.
All right, let's keep going.
He would drape towels over TVs or lamps.
Lighting seemed to be necessary, and he had particular psycho-sexual needs.
He would often bind his victim multiple times and would use different materials.
He never fondled the victims and would question the victims while assaulting.
He had asked Jane, is this like the captains while he had been raping her?
While he was assaulting her, he would snap at her directions, put some emotion into that, he would order, or I'll use my knife.
What the it hadn't been typical for a ski masked rapist to be so devoted to recon.
This was the police's most significant concern.
They were dealing with someone different, something they had never seen before.
After his attack in Carmichael, five hundred people attended a town hall regarding the attacks on November third.
The following day, the B, a local newspaper, published an article about the eight attacks that had occurred so far in nineteen seventy-six.
The detectives awkwardly fielded questions they had no answers to, and reminded people to be vigilant in their neighborhoods.
They had never anticipated So many people to attend.
Law enforcement officials from every police agency in Contra Costa County tonight are looking for the man who raped a 13-year-old Walnut Creek girl early this morning.
The young victim was attacked in her rancho San Miguel home.
Police say she described her attacker as a white male, six feet tall, weighing one hundred and eighty-five pounds.
Type of a mask, right?
Was in the residence for gained entry.
She was bound.
man came up behind her.
1977 marked a turning point for the air.
The Sacramento Bee did an article warning single women and how to protect themselves, and they wrote, The East Area Rapist will never attack while a man is in the house.
Pause.
After Okay, now they've challenged them.
We'll see what happens after this.
Yeah, did he he took the excuse as challenge?
Yep.
Uh, but they they didn't say something.
What I don't know if you think about it.
And this like uh assembly that they may, like these Oh this town hall meeting?
Yeah, what about it?
So um Let me let me pull my um So there was a guy that said um if I if this man comes into my house, I'm gonna kill him.
And not only like only three months later, he attacked this man's house.
Oh really?
Because he was actually present during the town hall meeting.
Yeah, he was the goal to say killer wants to the town hall meeting.
He heard what he said, and he took it like as a damn.
So he was like, Okay, I listen, let's see what you really do, man.
Let's see if you're about it.
Wow.
This guy was evil, bro.
Imagine like terrorizing a community.
Like, hey, we're gonna have a tall town hall meeting to discuss this, and one man shows up like, Oh, yeah, I'm I'm man, this really sucks.
I changed the locks on my door.
This is terrible.
Oh my god.
Meanwhile, he's scoping out the whole neighborhood and shit.
Man, demon time for real.
That article, almost as if it had been a challenge, the ear began targeting couples.
He read the news articles written about him, and if they noted a particular trend, he would adapt.
Some speculated he would even change his appearance.
If it was written he was pale, in his next attacks, they would be carried out by a much more tanned man.
His hair went from And if you guys notice, all these sketches look completely different.
Yeah.
So that tells you that he was on top of it, you know, taking over substitute's look between attacks, so they wouldn't know.
And that he did a good job, because think about it.
They had all these different nicknames, they had all these different sketches, so they didn't know that this was all the same guy.
Let's keep going.
Long to short, he was continually adapting.
His attack on couples was an escalation point in the year's criminal career.
There were 11 attacks in a row.
He would get the female to bind the man and separate the two.
After bringing the woman to the living room, he would force the men on all fours and stack teacups and saucers on their back, saying, If I hear these rattle or crash, I'll kill her.
So he would put him in the uh anus and reach position, aka being on all fours and put a bunch of fucking plates on their back.
That's actually a really smart move.
Because if he heard anything, he knew right away, okay.
I'm gonna go uh go back over here and deal with the threat.
And again, this guy was smart.
He was set booby traps up in the house, like ondoors, etc.
So if it would get tripped, he would knew someone was coming, and uh, as he got more and more sophisticated, he would go ahead and incapacitate the guy by setting up uh plates on him so they couldn't move, man, because obviously in their head, they're like, damn, if I move and he hears this shit, he's gonna kill my wife.
So they were literally powerless.
So uh shots Anison reach position.
Y'all know what I mean.
Oh muga were bruised, empty beer cans and food eaten.
He took his time, often staying in the house for hours after assaulting the victim multiple times.
He would ransack the house, opening cupboards and drawers, stealing engraved jewelry and stamp or coin collections, photos, occasionally money, but never taking anything valuable.
Some items would be found later, dumped somewhere nearby.
He had told one victim he'd been in the army.
This had already been a line of theories from detectives.
There were four military bases around Sacramento and one Air Force base.
Many of his victims described his demeanor as someone who had a background in the armed forces.
They recognized the methods he used.
He would open up multiple exits, stalking the potential victims for weeks.
The dishes trick was a technique commonly used in the Vietnam War.
He would also turn off air conditioning units to hear better, in addition to his preference for knives and how proficient he was with knots.
There was also the suspicion that the ear was one of them.
He was always one step ahead of the police.
Treetop cameras were placed in neighborhoods officers thought he would likely attack.
They had depleted their entire overtime budget for the year by April, having additional patrol cars, and floodlights were installed in most neighborhoods.
Homeowners began trimming back shrubbery and trees to maximize visibility.
If the police were focusing on one area, the ear would strike in another one.
He also seemed more knowledgeable in police techniques than the average citizen.
He wore gloves.
And if you guys notice, he's committing these crimes in small little areas where the police departments aren't necessarily sophisticated.
We're talking about police departments that might have five to ten guys.
So they didn't have the ability to conduct full-on manhunts to find this dude.
So he was also smart to hit multiple places and multiple jurisdictions that didn't have the law enforcement capacity to actually bring him to justice because he already knew what was going on being a small-town cop himself.
And the military experience helped him significantly as well.
Let's go back.
Let's go back.
Pause.
And guys, this is an understatement.
During this era, this guy was like a legend.
He literally had everyone shook down to the core.
I mean, 3,000 guns?
Like that?
Talk about creating business.
Locksmiths were busy as hell.
Gun owners, people that did any type of security type work, they were all getting crazy business from this guy.
And no one had created this much turmoil and fear in California until Richard Ramirez about 10 years later, the second Night Stalker.
But this dude was the original Night Stalker.
Let's keep going.
No one was safe, and it seemed the whole community was on high alert.
On May 17, 1977, police were called to Carmichael.
A man stood on the side of the road with a shoelace dangling from his wrist.
The man spoke in a thick Italian accent, and the officer Richard Shelby recognized him immediately.
He had been at the town hall meeting about the attacker six months previously, and he had loudly spoken out about the East Area Rapist and the investigators.
The ear had been at the meeting.
He had seemingly chosen this victim as a challenge.
After what was the 42nd attack in Dansville, investigators were searching an area that a neighbor had reported seeing a suspicious vehicle in the previous day, and they discovered three sheets of paper torn out of a notebook.
The first sheet appeared to be some homework, part of an essay on General George Armstrong Custer.
The other sheet was a journal-styled writing about how the author had been made to write lines by their teacher, and how angry it made him.
The letter was called, Mad is the word.
Although it is unclear if it belonged to the ear, investigators did use it to attempt to find a suspect.
The author specified having a male teacher, and assuming he went to school and was a local in the area, there hadn't been a lot of male teachers at that time.
But this didn't turn up any new leads.
The last page was a hand-drawn map of what appeared to be a suburban neighborhood, with the word, punishment, scrawled on the reverse.
They couldn't determine what neighborhood it was, but it revealed that the artist had a strong knowledge of architectural layout and landscape design.
Police then began to look into anyone who may have done security for development projects, or cartographers, anyone who would have had a valid reason for being in a neighborhood for extended periods of time.
A lot of the areas the year hit were usually adjacent to building developments.
Brian Maggiore was out for a walk with his wife Katie and their dog.
The couple were in high spirits celebrating a promotion where Brian, an administrative specialist with the Air Force, had just received word that he was being posted to Germany.
It was about 9pm and they were only blocks from their apartment in Rancho Cordova, where they encountered a man prowling in the dark.
It is believed that Brian chased the prowler into a nearby backyard.
Brian, who was 6'1 and had a good 50 pounds on the prowler, was closing in on the suspect when the prowler produced a gun and shot Brian in the chest.
The prowler then came around the house and chased down Katie, who was running away and fired.
She was shot fatally.
It was initially thought to be unrelated to the ear, but at the scene, a pre-tied binding made of shoelaces were found near a window of a nearby home.
The young couple, only in their early 20s murder, rocked the already terrified community.
A witness looked out a window witnessing the entire scene.
They were able to describe the shooter as wearing a ski mask, wearing a brown leather jacket with dark, quiet shoes.
At this point, the ear only killed out of necessity, only in times when he felt there was no other way out.
The majority's murders marked his second escalation of violence resulting in death.
During his attacks, he began telling victims he would start killing.
He would say that he wanted them to relay messages to the police and that he wanted to read that message in the papers the next morning.
There was a break in the summer in 1978.
This is a very common trait, guys, between a lot of serial killers, whether it was Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, a.k.a.
the Killer Clown, Jeffrey Dahmer, Gary Ridgway.
All these serial killers, guys, Samuel Little, etc., they really get off on getting attention from the media.
And back then, guys, like, I mean, I'll just say it.
Most serial killers are fucking cloud chasers.
Like, they are the original cloud chasers, man.
Like, not only did they enjoy the thrill of killing people and having an M.O. to do so, they also enjoyed all the attention that came their way from all these heinous acts.
And that actually, and that's why they didn't want to go ahead and publish some of this stuff when he was in the early era of him being the ear, because they didn't want to give him that attention.
But the negative of that is the people didn't know what was going on, so they weren't able to properly adapt.
So it gets to a point where the crimes are being committed and the police have to notify the public, and that gives the killers exactly what they want.
A lot of them get great satisfaction from being covered in the media, because like I told you before, man, you did not have your own platforms like Instagram, you know, the Internet, Facebook.
None of that existed back then, man.
You could only be a celebrity or be famous through being put on mainstream television and or radio.
That's how it used to be before when they had the monopoly on all production.
Anything from you ladies before we get back to it?
Do you have anything?
Okay, nope.
Nope.
All right, let's get back to the time.
His last attack had been in June, and for a while, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Police began being reassigned to new cases, hopeful that the man terrorizing Sacramento was in prison or had died.
Their hopes were quickly discarded as attacks started the following October.
His attacks began to stray further and further from Rancho Cordova, stretching south to San Jose, then suddenly back to Rancho Cordova and back down to Walnut Creek.
The summer of 1979 also saw a break.
Like he began to take summers off, only to start again in the fall.
Police believe there was a strong connection to an academic calendar.
I mean, serial killers need breaks too, man.
You got to go on vacation a little bit, man.
Some paid time off.
You know what I'm saying?
You got to deal with the kids and stuff.
And by the way, just so y'all know, he had a family during this period of time.
So that could explain also why he would take summers off.
His kids probably weren't in school.
significant breaks between July and October and attacks never happened on school holidays.
I didn't hear him come in.
I didn't hear anything.
And all of a sudden there was someone setting in my door, the bedroom door.
And I looked up and I thought it was my dad at first.
You know, because he, you know, he drives weird hours and he might have come in early because it was early in the morning.
And nope, it wasn't my dad.
So um he came in, he had a ski mask on.
And jumped on the bed and had a knife.
And I don't I don't exactly remember what he said.
Something to the effect of, you know, don't scream, don't, you know, whatever.
And tied my hands behind my back.
He he he could have cut over my eye over my eye, but I didn't even realize that I had been cut.
And um I guess part of what he said is that you know I don't even know what he said.
I just remember feeling extremely threatened.
Pause.
After it was all over and this is common, guys, like when victims are describing the event, they're in such shock, like they don't even everything is moving so fast.
It's very difficult for them to recall um intimate details like that.
So, you know, obviously you go through a traumatic experience like this.
This is like life-changing type shit, man.
So obviously terrible for the victim.
Let's go back.
Over and done with he went through the stuff in the room, took money out of my purse, took um some coin books and stuff that I had, and took a piece of jewelry.
I don't it it I it was just something that I just got and I don't even know what it was.
Um and I laid in the bed for it seemed like forever.
Forever.
Because I'd never heard the I was waiting for the door to close, and I never heard the door close.
So I was afraid to get up to you know, to see, and finally I said, Okay, this is do or die.
I don't I don't hold it against him.
There's something wrong with him.
No, you don't say all right, pause.
All right, so now we're gonna get into the original nice stalker area, but before we do, let's hit some of these chats real fast.
Um so you guys can see, man, that this guy was terrorizing the community, and um the reason why she stayed there for so long, guys, is because like we know from before what this guy would do is he would sit in the house longer, the person would think they're safe, and then he'd make an abrupt noise, and they'd be like, Oh, damn, okay, he didn't leave.
So he'll constantly take that um that I guess maybe feeling of being safe uh for a short period of time, he'll take it away immediately and let them know no I'm still here.
So this guy was on some demon time.
Uh what do we got here?
Go ahead, Kim, you got it.
Venezuela and Colombia co Myron.
We are going to induct you into the passport bro fraternity.
Okay, thank you, sir.
I appreciate that.
Um what else?
Knowing what you know, Myron, do you believe you would have performed better than the police at the time if you were brought back to that area?
That's a really good question.
Um I mean, knowing what I know now, like what the uh yeah, what you know, Myron, do you yes, I would have, I would have.
Um, because I would have uh uh relied heavily on working with other agencies um and networking because if I know what I know now, like let's say they like move me back in time, like in a dream world scenario, right?
You know, they moved me back 40-50 years ago.
Because I would go ahead and do things, I would have to basically do all the old-fashioned police work.
Uh but I would know that's the way to do it, and I would do things that police back then typically didn't do, like working with other agencies, uh establishing like uh databases that are shared between different agencies, and um, you know, just being more I guess cooperative because the thing with law enforcement is a lot of agencies don't want to share information and they don't necessarily they want to be the guy to catch them,
which is good and bad because in one sense it makes the agency competitive so that they you know the incentivizes them to perform, but on the other end, it's bad because since everyone is trying to catch the same guy, a lot of times they want the credit, they don't share information.
So it's a double-edged sword that type tends to bite a lot of agencies in the ass.
But back then it was even more pronounced because they didn't even have the databases to do so.
So yeah, I think I think if I was knowing what I know now, going back in that time, yeah, I would have definitely employed some tactics that back then they were definitely not doing because there was a lot of Keystone cops back then as well, guys.
What else?
Alex says, like the video or I'll kiss you.
Okay.
I appreciate that.
Not really, but okay.
And guys, we got uh 2100 of y'all watching right now.
Do me a favor, guys.
Like the video, man.
Cause I see we got only I think we got one K. We only got 1k likes, man.
So guys, hit that like button, man.
Okay, subscribe to the channel if you haven't already.
And uh let's keep going.
What else we got here, Kim?
Christopher says, Damn, this killer is creepy as fuck.
Yeah, I know.
This guy's on yeah.
Now I can see why you you anytime you guys request a killer, they're always on some the the weirdest ones, man.
Whoa, what else?
JC Sir, go ahead.
Okay, is that a super sticker?
Oh super sticker, okay.
Shout out to you, JC.
Uh, I want you guys to think just like his second about this.
This guy will go into couple's house, we'll make the the woman tie the man, and then he will proceed to rape her in another room while the manny's listening in the other room.
So, I mean, if you guys I mean I I cannot imagine how to be a man to think about that, you know, like you you you're helpless.
You're you know you're like you you cannot help her.
You're just lying, you're just sitting there on all fours with fucking dinner plates on your back.
Like, what the fuck is going on, bro?
It must be horrible to to to just to be present, you know, to to go through that.
Absolutely.
Uh what else do we got here, Kim?
JC Sir says for a typical home besides big canines and cameras.
What would you say is the ultimate deterrence to make a crazy man like that fear coming onto your property?
Um, well, nowadays, you know, what y I would have um you guys would be amazed at how like just putting like an ADT sign like in the front of your house saying like this house is protected by ADT, even if you don't have it, that helps keeping your lights on at night.
Um getting a c a camera system, guys.
Like that's definitely in today's day and age, you can get them for cheap.
You can get like a UFI or whatever.
I'm a big proponent on you having guns in a house, um, having having guns close to you at all times.
And then know that.
Yeah, so you know, uh obviously exercise your second amendment, right?
And um, yeah, man, having dogs also huge deterrent for a lot of these crooks, especially if you got like a guard dog like a German Shepherd or a Doberman or something like that.
That's a huge deterrent.
So all these things definitely help you with mitigating risk as far as being a victim of uh of a burglary or some type of crime like that.
Um question what is the thing that you mentioned, the MDT, something like that.
The what?
It's like a security system, so it's a sign that says like you have cameras installed in a security system.
Yeah, you put it like on your front lawn.
Okay, but I don't even know if ADT still exists.
Does this still even exist?
I think there's a different like company now, but it's like a little blue sign that people put on the phone or on the windows and everything.
Yeah, I might be showing my age with that one.
But y'all get the idea.
Put put like some kind of sign in front of your house that says this house is secured by a blah blah blah.
Because even if it's true or not, it'll make the burglar think twice, like nah, because burglars are lazy, bro.
Like that's why they're burglars in the first place.
So they want to go ahead and commit crimes uh and get the money in the easiest way pat possible with the least path of resistance.
So if you got a dog, you got cameras, it's obvious you got cameras.
Um, they're they're probably not gonna be like this is not worth it, unless they really want to like get to you.
Then you know what time it is.
And the beware of the dogs sign.
Yep.
Yep.
All these things to make your place seem less welcoming.
Okay.
Junior Choice became a member.
Oh, shout out to you, Choi.
Appreciate that.
Welcome to the Colin Parker says, appreciate the content, Myra and also nice watch.
Loving leveling up from the Rolex, from what I can see, looks like an AP Royal Oak.
Yes, yes, this is an AP royal oak.
Thank you very much, my friend.
Yeah, I like APs a lot, man.
They hold value well.
And um now nowadays, if I'm gonna buy a nice watch, I'm gonna make sure that it holds value.
So the you know it well, I did a whole episode on watches, by the way, guys.
On French, I had Nico Leonard on there, and we talked watches.
So if you're a watch guy, definitely go watch that.
We we um talked about good watches, bad watches.
We talked about Rolex being lame and not having anything in in uh in stock.
Um, but APs, man, long story short, they only make about 40,000 of them a year.
Um, yeah, they're a little bit more expensive.
Entry price around 30k or whatever, but they hold value a lot better than Rolexes do.
So thank you.
And I like them, they're nice and clean.
But yes, you are right, sir.
This is a Royal Oak Blackface uh 2014.
Uh let's see here.
We got uh super sticker.
Okay, appreciate that.
That's it.
Caught up?
Yeah, yeah.
Cool.
Let's get back to the doc.
Now we're gonna get into the original night stalker era.
And how many people we got watching?
We got 2.1 of y'all, 2100, you guys.
You guys could be anywhere else in the world, but you guys are here with us.
If you guys are watching on Twitch right now, okay, go ahead and open up another tab and watch us on YouTube.
Like the video over there as well.
Um again, I'm multi streaming it on Twitch and YouTube because I am gonna play some other uh documentary here that may or may not get us turned off in the middle of the stream.
So you know, you you gotta preemptively prepare, right?
So uh all right, let's get into it, Angie.
Thank you.
Like the video, guys.
Okay.
We're laughing at the chat by the way there was a chat.
Sacramento.
He's laughing at what'd they say.
Um beware of masculine woman in the house.
Ah, yeah, there you go.
They definitely not gonna show up at that point.
Don't the monko I'm also laughing at the chat because the Department of Justice is beeping with IRS right now.
Yo, you guys are the best chat ever, bro.
You got all these government agencies in here fighting with each other.
It's fucking hilarious, man.
All right.
East area rapist has been active for 16 months.
15.
Scroll up a bit, Angie.
At first, a single investigator, work the case full time.
Now several people are involved.
The pressure to catch this man has been mounting, but a multi-rapist often acts on impulse.
That was the most of the multiple rapists attack on impulse.
Yeah, so they have no predetermined point of attack.
So finally, years later, now they're finally making a task force and going after this guy, right?
Which they should have done this from the rip, but again, back then, different times.
Let's go back.
They have there is no way to calculate a pattern of where they're going to strike next, or the type of place they're going to strike next, or who their next victim is going to be.
Many of those involved with the case say the East Area rapist lives within the area where he operates, that he picks upon blocks of homes within neighborhoods, jumping from one to the other.
One of his few mistakes was to attack a woman who lived only one block inside Sacramento's city limits, and then steal her car, which only brought in the city's rape detail, and four more people to work toward catching him.
It takes a while for a community to wake up.
Sacramento was no exception.
By late fall, when the East Area rapists began claiming two and three victims a month, citizens began buying everything they could think of to protect themselves.
Gun sales are way up, with some of the buyers not that familiar with how to use firearms, and that can be dangerous.
In the summer of 1979, he took a second summer break in a row.
In the fall, he had moved to Southern California in the Santa Barbara area.
At first, his series of crimes were not initially linked to the East Area rapist.
It wasn't until much later that the crimes were linked via DNA evidence.
He was dubbed the Night Stalker.
But serial killer Richard Ramirez had also received the same and just so you guys uh know I did a full episode on Richard Ramirez as well.
Uh they did a whole you know Netflix documentary on him.
So if you guys want to watch that one, uh, have a whole serial player uh serial killer playlist on the FedEx channel, man.
We cover everything over here, man.
We're the best true crime channel on YouTube, baby.
So if you guys um you know saw the Netflix series and you guys want to get a little bit more insight and get my perspective on a night stalker, uh the second night stalker, aka Richard Ramirez, go ahead and check that one out as well.
But this guy right here was the OG Night Stalker.
Um I wish I could have done that with you as well and also like the serious killer because I'll I'll be passionate about those cases as well.
But you guys have been requested Richard Ramirez and Myron has had it like ages ago on the playlist.
So you guys could uh if you will check the playlist that he has on um seriously.
Actually, can you pull it up real quick for them, Kim on on YouTube?
Because we're not playing sound, so we can actually show it from your screen.
Um let's go let's go back to the documentary when she pulls it up, we'll have it ready and we'll show them.
Because y'all been asking me for the same cases over and over in the comments.
So to yeah, differentiate between the two.
Our killer was given the prefix original October 1st, 1979 in Galita.
The weather was hot and humid, and a young couple slept with their windows open, trying to capture a breeze.
They woke, not to the uncomfortable temperature of the room, but a blinding flashlight pointed at their faces.
A voice from beyond the light ordered them to roll over on their stomachs.
Then he ordered them.
Um guys go real quick.
Oh, yeah, go ahead.
Yeah, just add her screen to it.
Oh, you got it?
Okay.
Yeah, here.
Yeah, so yeah, if y'all if it go hit um that's the playlist.
Go back to home real quick.
Okay.
If you guys scroll down, right?
Um, see I got most popular videos, then I got all videos, old uh you know, recent to oldest.
And then you scroll down Sunday videos, which is the live streams, then we got Thursday videos, which is the pre-recorded stuff.
And then I got um infamous serial killers right there.
You got obviously Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, the Zodiac, the Nice Sucker Hip hit the tab to the right real quick.
Um Angie, yeah, yeah.
See how it says next to Nice Talker.
Nope, hit that little button to the right.
Yep, right there.
And then I got here, obviously the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway, uh, Samuel Little, who has 93 murders, um uh with the toy box killer.
Oh, that guy was crazy.
That episode was wild.
Um BTK, uh the unibomber, right?
That's oh that's a classic one.
Uh the s the um the railroad killer, and then we got Ed Guy and AK, the guy that they made uh the Texas Chainsaw Mascara off of.
So I've covered a lot of these serial killers that you guys want.
Um we got a few that we still gotta cover.
Obviously, we're doing Golden State Killer now, and then obviously we got a whole mafia playlist for y'all.
Right.
The uh yeah, uh that's been a lot of work.
But we got the original John Gyne and the Gambino, the Lucese, we got the um Banano family, the Genovese cry family, and then now we're gonna do the outfit.
We're probably gonna record that tonight, and then we'll go ahead and give you all the Columbo after that.
And then here's uh I got a whole 9-11 playlist as well, which covers the official narrative and the unofficial narratives.
And just so you guys are wondering, hey, when are we gonna bring that Ryan Dawson back?
Ryan Dawson, he was in Japan, guys, this past Friday, so we couldn't do uh the broadcast.
We're gonna bring Ryan Dawson back next Friday.
Uh not this coming Friday, because I'm gonna be out of town, but we're gonna bring him the Friday after that to finish up the 9-11 situation.
Uh but yeah, all right.
Let's get back to it.
The woman to tie up her boyfriend using a ligature tossed at her.
The man growled orders at her in a strange forced whisper to tie it tight, or she would be killed.
The man then tied her.
Neither of them got a good look at the intruder.
The man demanded money and began rummaging through drawers and slamming them shut.
What seemed like a century later, he returned to the room.
He forced the woman onto her feet and walked her into the living room.
He then forced her on the floor.
He threw a pair of shorts over her head to prevent her watching his movements.
He went to the kitchen to continue opening and closing drawers and cupboards, then the fridge.
He sounded like he was pacing and began chanting to himself.
I'll kill them, I'll kill them, I'll kill them.
Like he needed to encourage himself.
While he paced and chanted, the woman managed to wiggle out of her body.
He was searching through the fridge, he was trying to get some weedies to fucking uh get prepare himself to fucking do the killing, man.
Breakfast of champions.
Oh man.
All right, let's get it.
Findings and she screamed that kind of blood curdling scream that movies can never quite capture.
Alerting her neighbors.
Her boyfriend still in the bedroom had been able to hop out of the back door.
When he got close to the shrubbery in the backyard, he dropped and rolled under an orange tree, narrowly missing a frantic beam of flashlight searching.
The next door neighbor of the couple was an FBI agent.
He had been enjoying the quiet evening trying to finish a book when he was alerted to the screams.
He grabbed his firearm and ran out to the front yard.
In his peripheral, he saw movement, and his vision flicked to a man furiously biking away from the chaos.
Wow, crazy.
The neighbor got in his car and pursued the man.
The man dumped the bike along with a steak knife and dove between houses.
The agent attempted to maintain vision, but eventually gave up.
The couple only had a vague description of the suspect.
White, dark hair, maybe five foot ten or eleven.
The FBI agent didn't they got lucky.
FBI open up the FBI agent down the street, man.
Shout out to that.
Go ahead.
Let's keep going.
I didn't have much to add.
He hadn't been wearing a mask, and he wore a plaid shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes.
The agent received a lot of backlash from local cops for not shooting the assailant, but he stood his ground saying he didn't know what had happened in the house yet, if there was a weapon, or if he was even the suspect that had attacked his assailant.
Yeah, it's actually good that he didn't shoot him because he probably would have been indicted for murder or manslaughter if he had actually shot the guy because he was not presenting a threat on his life at that point.
his neighbors he didn't feel he could open fire based on the information he had at the time This also was the first attack in the area, and he had no idea this would be the first in many murders.
The bike had been stolen from a nearby home, and the stake knife had come from the couple's kitchen.
The couple themselves had been confident that the intruder had every intention of killing them.
And had he not given them time to get away, he would have succeeded.
He never made that mistake again.
After this, there are no more witness accounts of his crimes.
There are only crime scene reconstructions.
He struck next in Golita on December 30th, 1979, and his victims were Dr. Robert Offman and his new girlfriend, Dr. Barbara Manning.
Then a married couple, Charlene and Lyman Smith, in March 1980 in the Ventura area.
Lyman was to be appointed as a judge, and the police felt it was a targeted attack.
This briefly brought him the moniker, the diamond knot killer.
In August, it was another married couple, Keith and Patrice Harrington in Dana Point.
The following victim was an Irvine.
She had been home alone and thought to be bludgeoned to death.
She was married, but her husband was in the hospital at the time.
Although he had a solid alibi, he was still a lead suspect in her murder.
Years later, his second wife would say they would often receive hang up calls and occasional threats for many years following.
She truly felt that she would be next.
Even decades after the last attack, victims would often be tormented with hang-up calls or taunts.
Like, remember when we played?
He enjoyed their change of tone when they recognized his voice.
He wanted them to know he was still out there, alive, free.
One victim could hear a woman in the world.
And also, I want you guys to kind of understand where this guy's coming from.
For you to find someone's phone number back then, you had to actually search them up on the fucking phone book.
Okay, I know some of y'all are probably like, wait, what Myra, what are you talking about?
What the hell is a phone book?
Like the jellows the yellow pages?
Yes, the jello pages, the jello pages.
Yes.
So, like back then, guys, if you want to get someone's phone number, they had these big ass phone books that you search the person's last name and they'd have all the numbers there.
So he would actually go through the process of figuring out what their number was, identify that number, and then call them back months after the fact to be able to relish in his crime and get that terror out of them.
This guy really got off to that shit.
I once saw one in in the hotel.
Like I've never seen one.
Yeah, it's I had never seen any of that.
It's a dated thing.
Like it's uh I'm sure my age right now with phone books.
I mean, Kim probably doesn't even know what the hell a phone book is.
Like wait one.
It's a big ass book that you just have to look for.
I keep seeing one.
You've touched one before.
I have you know what it is?
I do.
Let's go.
Well, I can't remember you like back then.
The camera on y'all, man.
Sorry.
When you guys talk.
I can imagine like back then, like people cannot cool not like chain numbers or anything, right?
Because these are land phones.
Yeah, they could, but it was a it was a pain in the ass.
You'd have to call a phone company, and it's not as easy as it is now.
Okay.
Right.
So let's go back to it.
And children in the background, and knew he was out there living a life with his family.
Investigators were sure he still lived locally.
One woman had started a new job waitressing at Denny's during his seemingly uneventful shift.
She answered the restaurant's phone, and the caller threatened to attack her again.
Police theorized that her attacker had coincidentally been at the restaurant.
Around Christmas, one victim picked up the phone one day and the caller said, Merry Christmas, it's me again.
This guy.
He was so lame.
All right.
Diamond not killer.
All right.
So let's go ahead and hit the chats real quick and then we'll cover this part.
And then we're going to go into how they caught him, guys.
We just have a few chats.
Make back says W stream.
Shout out to you, my friend.
Thank you.
And Tony says FedEx merch coming soon.
Maybe maybe, maybe.
I'm rooting for Myra to make it.
I do this channel, guys, like on the side for fun.
It's not really to like make money and uh profit a bunch.
I really genuinely do enjoy this stuff.
Um and I think that you guys enjoy getting my perspective on some of these famous cases, so I'll see.
People are asking for marriage people want the merch.
I guess.
Alright, I'll figure something out for you.
Julio says Angie say Myra, and then Kim said, Yes, sir.
On God.
Man!
Stop, bro.
Stop.
God damn it.
The worst thing.
And guys, give me a quick favor.
Go ahead and like the video, man.
Subscribe to the channel because um a shout out to Angie and Kim in the back because Kim had done quite a bit of research on this guy prior to, And um and Angie did as well, so they helped me quite a bit with preparing for this uh podcast for y'all.
What else we got?
Oh, those were all the cuts.
That was it?
Cool, let's get back to the uh to the documentary.
I think you got something on screen here, Angie on my oh, and actually no that's you, Kim.
But you go ahead, Angie, you're good to go.
His crimes in the nineteen eighties became fewer and further between.
At this point, it is unclear if there are more crimes attributed to him that aren't connected yet, or perhaps he had a change in personal life that was putting a damper on his ability to be as prolific as he had once been.
In July of 1981, there were two more victims, bringing the total of his South California crimes to 10 and 11.
Sherry Domingo was temporarily staying in a deceased relative's house while it was in the process of being sold.
Her boyfriend, Greg Sanchez, was also a victim.
The two had been separated for several months when he went to see her for dinner.
This attack, more than the others, seemed like a crime of opportunity.
Greg was young, fit, and based on the scene, it looked like he gave one hell of a fight.
He suffered a gunshot wound to his cheek and continued to fight on, but ultimately he was bludgeoned to death.
This would be the Ear's last attack on a couple.
A piece of evidence had renewed hopes for capture.
Flux of paint recovered at the scene.
The Calais Real shopping center was being developed around the time of the murders.
The development was in its final stages of construction at the time of the Offerman Manning murders, which would have included painting.
However, this lead didn't pan out either.
Taking on couples was posing to be more of a challenge than earlier on in his career.
He was now having too many close calls.
People fighting for their lives weren't as easy to incapacitate.
The men kept getting closer and closer to gaining the upper hand.
After the Domingo Sanchez murders, he disappeared for five years.
His last known victim was a teenager named Janelle Cruz.
Her family were on vacation in Mexico and Janelle was at home alone.
She had been assaulted and beaten with such overkill that she was unrecognizable.
This case wasn't thought to have been connected, but it was linked by DNA years later.
It had broken a five-year hiatus and Janelle had seemingly no connection to any of his other victims in the area.
Janelle had multiple men coming in and out of her life, and it had seemed that one of them had killed her in a jealous rage.
But the evidence couldn't connect any of them.
Janelle's house was less than two miles from the seventh murder, so it was likely he had stalked the area before.
It, like many other victims' homes, backed onto a drainage canal.
Police had one suspect in mind for the Southern California murders.
He was a Golita local, a career criminal, but he was killed when he had tried to buy guns and drugs in Mexico, and it had been a setup.
He died in nineteen eighty two, and the slaying of Janelle Cruz in eighty six eliminated him as a suspect.
They had been so confident it had been a resident of Golita.
They had never really looked elsewhere.
Like the crimes in Rancho Cordova, Galita had a San Jose Creek running adjacent to the residential neighborhoods.
The first three houses he hit ran along the creek.
It had provided a prowler with ample coverage to observe unnoticed in the dark, allowing him to bypass the need to venture into the neighborhoods and risk being seen and captured.
Also, guys, running into a creek helps with um keeping getting dogs off your scent when you're running from the cops.
So that's another you know benefit to being around the creek when you're committing these crimes.
Let's keep going.
Yeah, it does it's not a hundred percent foolproof, but it does help to a degree to blunt uh your your scent for the dogs.
Like his other crimes in Sacramento, there were also tiny details that indicated his presence only realized in retrospect.
Janelle Cruz was the final victim.
Many investigators were sure he was dead.
There had been a burglar who had been shot by an armed Homeowner, and they had hoped he had been their guy.
Sexual predators never truly stop.
They have to be stopped.
He began to be forgotten about.
No one wrote about the unsolved, unconnected crimes for decades.
His crimes were pervasive, and he impacted so many lives.
He was once a boogeyman plaguing communities for years only to disappear.
Even in making these videos, multiple people have commented detailing how their lives had been changed forever.
Twenty years after the crimes had been committed, most of the evidence had been destroyed.
This was routine evidence room procedure.
Cases that had passed the statute of limitations needed to make space for newer evidence.
However, some labs kept all of their evidence on the ear.
Hopefully that one day it will be required for so just so you guys know uh what ended up happening is they turned over all this evidence to the FBI.
This picture that you guys are, these pictures you guys are seeing here in the past like two five, ten seconds.
Um, this is where the FBI kept all the evidence because yes, uh statute limitations, guys.
Um you know, it's between five to ten years, depending on certain crimes, especially like grape, whatever, they do have statute limitations.
Murder, no.
Um, but burglary, grape, and some states their statute limitations, which basically means you can't prosecute someone after a certain period of time has elapsed.
So since they were able to put all these crimes under one individual, what they did was they turned it over to the FBI and consolidate all the evidence in one location where they would have everything together, and you guys are gonna see here that the FBI does come and get involved in this investigation.
Um, even though it's typically a state case, because the feds don't really have jurisdiction and burglaries slash murder cases that's typically reserved for the state, but when you have something that's hitting all these different areas, all these different cities and counties, etc., they would reach out to the feds a lot of times for assistance.
That's fine.
That was one of my questions.
I had this written down for a while now for you, Myra.
Um so nowadays, like in this age area, like if a killer's like this, what department will take place to investigate these kind of cases?
Oh, that's a really good question.
So it depends on where it's where it's caught.
So um, I'll give you an example.
Like, let's say it's in Texas, right?
And there's a murder.
Typically, the lead agency is gonna be either the city police that are there or the sheriff's office.
Okay, or they'll do the case together.
But typically it's gonna start with the city police department that's there, they're gonna have first rider refusal.
Now, if the police department is too small and can't investigate or doesn't have the capacity to do that murder, it'll go to the sheriff's office, right?
So we'll work small to big.
So the city will take it first.
Let's say they don't have enough police officers or they don't have a homicide unit, it's gonna go to the county.
If the county doesn't have the capacity to do it, and let's say maybe it's above their um their capabilities, maybe they don't have a forensic unit, maybe they don't have uh the resources, or maybe the sheriff's department is small, they don't have a homicide, uh refined homicide unit, it's gonna go to the state.
And when I say the state, I'm talking about the state police.
Um, if it's a high profile type murder, a lot of the times it's gonna go to the top state agency.
So, for example, like in Texas, you have a high profile murder, it's gonna go to the Texas Rangers.
What's a high profile murder?
A high profile murder would be maybe the murder of a child that's receiving a lot of news, uh, maybe of a prominent figure, maybe a politician is being killed, uh, maybe it was it's related to gang violence or whatever it may be.
Um, but it's high profiles and like it's getting a lot of media attention.
If it's getting a lot of media attention, typically the state is gonna come in and take the case.
But it really comes down to where the crime occurred.
Does the police department that where the crime occurred have their own resources to take it?
If they do, they're gonna take it.
So if you commit a murder in New York City, for example, NYPD is gonna take that all day.
Yeah, of course.
But uh, what about like a case like this?
For example, like this guy is moving around.
So, what about if he goes like right to the borders of California?
Because he was like or uh all around California.
Yeah, so it would be all the different sheriff's offices would work together, um, and then each of them would present would work their their case in their jurisdiction, and then they would all come together and work and figure out which venue is best to prosecute them.
So when you have a guy committing crimes in all these different places, you'll get what all the different district attorneys, and you guys are gonna see this when I show you guys a press conference.
All the different prosecutors will get together, they'll figure out what's the strongest venue for prosecution.
He's gonna get the most time here, the strongest case is here.
They will go ahead and bring that uh bring uh the case there and prosecute them there where they have the best chances when you have a situation like this.
Or if they're able to establish that that there's a federal jurisdiction, the feds will take it.
That's that's what I was gonna ask.
Like, what would it take for a case like this to to get like a big department like the FBI to take the to take charge of these cases?
Really good questions.
Um, it would need to affect so for the feds to come in, it's gotta affect something called interstate commerce.
And interstate commerce, guys, is basically a fancy way of saying it affects um commerce of the United States between different states.
So I'll give you an example, right?
Let's say this golden state killer was committing these crimes, but he was also robbing banks.
Well, banks, right, affect interstate commerce because banks are institutions that are federally insured.
And what they'll basically do is they'll be able to tie that these murders to bank robberies, so now the feds can step in.
So if you remember the pizza bomber, right?
The big reason why the FBI took that case is because, well, yeah, explosives were involved, so ATF was there, but the main reason why the FBI took that investigation was because he banked robbed the bank.
So that gave the FBI jurisdiction to take the case.
And then all the other crimes that occurred during the commission of that bank robbery, they're able to enhance.
Does that make sense?
So then they need to commit a crime that affects interstate commerce or affects a federal jurisdiction.
Um, another example is let's say this East Area rapist guy or the Golden State Killer in this case, let's say he was part of a motorcycle gang, right?
And he was committing these crimes in furtherance of that criminal organization or in furtherance of that motorcycle gang.
Well, then the feds would take over and say, okay, these burglaries and these crimes, these murders, he's committing them to benefit the motorcycle gang, so we can go ahead and indict him under RICO.
Or let's say he had been doing money laundering while committing these crimes, then the feds can step in and say, Oh, he's committing these crimes, he's getting paid for, and he's money laundering, he's moving the money through bank bank accounts, wire fraud.
So they need to commit some type of crime that affects interstate commerce for the feds to come in.
Otherwise, if it's just like a simple burglary or murders like this, that's kind of like one off, or maybe serial murders, the FBI could come in and assist, or the feds could come in and assist, but it's still gonna go to the state for prosecution.
Right.
Does that answer it?
Yeah, pretty much.
All right, down the market for good questions.
Dumb the monk, go monk, go to the trial.
Paul Holes, a criminal analysis turn investigator, took on the case in the late 90s after coming across evidence boxes marked ear.
So that's gonna be the I think we're good with this documentary for now.
Now we're gonna go into how they caught him, guys.
So he committed these crimes for well over a decade.
No one was able to catch him.
And again, let me show you all the map real fast.
We'll just recap.
Um, okay.
He was he was active from 1976 all the way to 1986, a decade of terror, guys, and he committed crimes in Sacramento, San Joaquin, uh, Stanislaus, YOLO, Contra Casa, Santa Clara, Alameda, all these different cities and counties, right?
Yeah, and different state jurisdictions.
So, but he was committing grapes and murders.
So now the case is well, yes, and the murders.
So now the case is gonna get transferred to another detective, right?
And we're gonna go over and outline how he was able to identify this guy.
So go ahead and hit uh is it this one?
I think this one.
Oh no, no, not that one.
This uh nope, go back cold case kill.
Actually, well, you know what?
Well, so actually, yeah, so not this one, click the next one.
This one, yep.
Click that one.
Okay, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Next tab, next tab.
All right, so this is a press conference, guys, that was held in 2016 prior to them catching the Golden State Killer.
As y'all can see, look at all the different agencies here.
This woman that's up is the FBI special agent in charge or SAA SAC for the Sacramento area.
So in 2016, I think this was on damn, it was, yeah, oh, June 15, 2016.
There you go.
Uh, they had a pr this press conference, and I wasn't even looking at the screen, my bad.
And this is where they announced that the FBI is gonna get involved, and they actually put up a prize hit play real quick.
Sorry about that, Paul.
Um so why are we here today?
Today we're gonna launch uh a national campaign to help identify the East Area rapists, golden state killer.
This unknown subject terrorized the communities in the greater Sacramento region from 76 to 78 in the East Bay Area in 1979 and Southern California from 1979 to 1986.
Due to the number and frequency of burglaries and rapes committed in the Sacramento area, the subject likely resided in or near Sacramento from 1976 to 1978.
The subject has eluded investigators for over 40 years.
And the So it's interesting that on the 40-year anniversary, they would go ahead and get involved at the federal level and put a $50,000 award on him.
So go ahead and hit uh hit uh go to the next tab, Angie.
Okay.
So and and here, if you guys look, here's a uh the FBI cold case website, right?
Um sorry.
Uh I just want to say that this was like a few months before this lady passed out and her investigation on uh m Michelle McNara, the girl that oh, okay, the woman that wrote that book that we talked about in the beginning.
This is right before she passed away.
Yeah, she she passed away in April 21 of 2016.
So this same year that she are doing the press conference.
Okay.
So and her book actually brought a lot more attention back to the Golden State killer.
Yeah, exactly.
That's what I'm trying to say.
That her investigation actually helped a lot into this like new investigation to catch him.
Okay, okay.
So her book reinvigorated the uh the man hunt.
Okay.
So let's go ahead and uh pull up this cold case thing for the FBI.
So go ahead and play on this.
Between 1976 and 1986, a serial rapist pause, murder, uh murder and terrorize uh hit X on that little thing there, Angie.
Okay.
Terrorized California communities from Sacramento to Orange County.
All right, go ahead, hit play.
Yeah, just get it out next time.
He's gotta be one of the most prolific criminals when you think of the other murder cases that are connected and all the rape cases.
And God knows what else we don't know about.
He's not uh concerned about human life.
Um he enjoys the terror.
Uh enjoy.
All right, so hit that little X button right there, uh, Angie, so it gets out the way.
So I'll read this for you.
Says dubbed the East Area rapist and Gold Estate killer, the man committed 12 murders, 45 rapes, and more than 125 residential burglaries.
Hip play.
Uh type pain on people.
During that time frame, everybody was in fear.
We had people sleeping with shotguns, we had people who uh purchasing dogs, people were concerned.
Um, and they had right to be.
This guy was terrorizing the community.
Uh case started in 1976 with the rape of a female in the rancho Cordova carmichael area of Sacramento.
Uh his primary entrance into residence was by prying open doors or windows at the rear of the residence.
He would then get in, have a ski mask on, and often shine the light, uh flashlight in the eyes of the victims.
Uh at that point, the victim That's a common police tactic, by the way, guys.
Like I could tell you guys from my personal training experience.
Uh they taught you how to shine that you know, whenever you got your weapon liner, whatever, get a bright ass light so you shine it in their eyes, so it disorients uh the subject, you know, when you have your weapon on them.
So that's a police tactic and uh and the person talking right now, by the way, guys, is the FBI case agent that handled the the the golden state killer because once the feds opened up a case, right?
You have obviously you need a case agent, and his job was not only to get the resource of the FBI involved to catch this guy, it was also to monitor it from the federal angle as well.
But keep in mind that the state is still the lead agency on this situation.
It's just that when you have high profile cases like this, typically the FBI will come in to assist because like I told y'all before I've made my jokes that the FBI are definitely cloud chasers.
FBI opened!
And you know, the resurgence of an interest in this individual from that book that Michelle Maman Nakamura wrote, uh it sparked that reinvigorated the need to find this guy because it went unsolved for so long.
Let's keep going.
So we'd be tied up, um, and then he would sexually assault the female and uh ransack the residents, um, taking small items, um small rings, coins, other items would be taken, uh, sometimes cash, whatever you could find.
We know that after he committed his crime, he would jump over the rear fences of residences, run through other people's backyards, obviously avoiding streets where people would see him.
He'd run out to uh the levee, run through the fence, run out, get out on the levee, and then get onto the parkway where it could easily hide in the bushes or trees and escape capture.
We have identified the DNA for Easter rapists.
Um we just don't have a face.
So that's the uh you know the the whole like look at all that all those files, man, for this case.
They have like a whole area just dedicated to him.
Um and the FBI took it from all the other different agencies uh so that they can house it, because they didn't want the evidence to be destroyed.
Because as you guys know, once the statute of limitations hit, there's no point for them to keep the evidence.
So the FBI preserved it.
Keep going.
So at this point, the FBI's assisting our local counterparts, Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, Contra Costa County.
Wow, look at all the evidence that they have on this guy here.
I told you.
Yeah.
Sheriff's office and our southern partners with collection of DNA of possible suspects.
So when we go out, we identify someone that potentially might be a this is also common, guys, where if you have like uh a criminal that's committing a bunch of crimes in an area, um, and uh the local agencies are kind of like disoriented or confused, and they kind of want to house all the evidence in one central location.
This is also common to get the FBI involved to put everything in one place so they have all the evidence and they're able to kind of work out of one area together as a task force.
So that's another reason why they consolidated all the evidence into one location.
Um something that was lugging in my head right now, like it's uh since I said that uh the 70s was sorry, the 70s was like at the peak of serial killers here in America.
Yeah, people think that it like each area, it's hey, you'll have its own serial killer because you have Gary Richway, you'll have Ted Bundley, you'll have all these guys.
So they were striking all from different places in the US.
I want to think like how much this evidence and how much these cases helped aid improve in hand's um investigations nowadays for these like kind of cases.
Yeah, it forced the police to step their game up, is what it did.
It forced it for yeah, absolutely.
Like uh the 70s forced police agencies to adapt and overcome and become better with working with each other using better technology, um, sharing information.
So um this 1970s absolutely forced law enforcement agencies to become better.
Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Okay.
Suspect on this case or person of interest, what we're doing is looking at who they were.
Were they in custody at the time of the crimes?
Uh what's their blood type?
Um, any other ways to eliminate them at that point.
If we can eliminate them through various other means, we're then going out and interviewing these people and contacting them and asking for a consensual sample of DNA.
Yeah, they got old records from 76 to 70.
So we're doing this all over the United States.
We obtained a $50,000 reward leading to the wrestling capture and conviction of the individual responsible for the East Air Force series.
And um kind of provide us that that one tip that we need.
Uh just like any homicide.
So now you guys, so you know, just to recap real quick, the show before we get into how they caught him.
So, guys, welcome to the podcast.
As y'all know, we're covering the Golden State Killer, aka the East Area Rapist, aka the Vazilla ransacker, all these different crazy ass names.
He was committing burglaries uh and rapes between 1976 all the way to 1986.
They did not catch him for decades.
Um the FBI ends up coming and joining the investigation on the 40-year anniversary of 2016.
They start a whole campaign uh with a $50,000 reward to go ahead and catch this guy.
So now we're gonna get into how uh I think it was detective Hole, if I'm not mistaken, actually identified this guy, and they were able to finally apprehend him decades later.
So um I got this right here from um I think this was from 60 Minutes.
Go ahead, yeah.
Last next tab.
The last step?
Yeah, that tab right there.
Uh this is unmasked the golden killer.
This was from 60 Minutes Australia.
Um let's go ahead and go.
This documentary is pretty good.
I watched the Yeah, this one isn't bad.
Cookie.
Pause.
And that individual there was one of the guys that worked with him when he was a police officer saying that he was very intelligent and they were basically able, he was able to uh evade detection a lot of times, guys, because he knew police practices like I described to you earlier, how they would coordinate off the perimeter, he would basically have his car parked, and he knew a bunch of techniques to avoid detection because he knew how police departments worked, being an exitor police department officer himself back in the day.
But he ended up getting fired for shoplifting.
Uh so let's go ahead and hit it.
So this is the uh the neighborhood where the East Area rapist rapist uh started attacking, but ultimately not as smart as Detective Paul Holtz, who after more than two decades of investigating, finally figured out D'Angelo's lies.
All the houses are single story.
He rarely went into a neighborhood that had two story houses.
You like to move around, pop so just so you guys know this is 60 minutes, so we're gonna have to be a little bit more deliberate here with pausing it.
I And I apologize for that.
Uh, because they began hit with the copyrights.
And show me on the side, Angie, by the way, too.
Um just uh yeah, just hit that.
You know the Yeah, there you go, bam.
Uh so what I was gonna say here is this guy, Detective Knowles ended up getting on this case in the 90s.
Um, but he didn't end up solving it until a decade plus later.
So this case had been passed on to him from another detective prior.
Detective Hall says in the mid-1970s, Joseph D'Angelo moved from Exeter to the suburbs of Sacramento, which then became the rogue cops' new hunting ground.
As far as the law enforcement training, he understood exactly how patrol was going to respond to uh an attack that had occurred.
And so he would park his car at locations so he could, as law enforcement is potentially responding, slip through that and get to his vehicle many blocks away from where the victim's house was to be able to drive.
Pause.
And just so you guys know, remember, a police officer chased him, and he was able to evade uh evade from uh evade that police officer.
Why?
Because he knew the neighborhood even better than him and was able to get away.
So this guy definitely did his homework, and that's why he was able to evade uh avoid getting arrested for so long is because he would stalk the victims for weeks on end and make sure he hit it the best time and had plenty of escape routes so they wouldn't be able to find him after the fact.
I want to say something.
Um you can help me if you want.
Um so I want to give a shout out to Bailey Saria because she actually helped me a lot with this herba.
We love her.
Um, so she said in her video that some chick that puts on makeup when she does true crime, I'm like, she goes over it like so well she has like information that she actually looks into and everything in a lot of videos.
It's we love her underwork attack.
If I will know that then but um crazy somewhere I will give her a thundermark.
Anyways, um she actually said that uh there was a victim that had a brother that had a lot of money, that he was strict.
So he actually gave away two million dollars to help and aid the investigation to catch this guy later on.
Yeah, it was uh it was the brother of the guy that a rizie got killed, right?
Yes, yes.
The father remember that you guys that we showed you guys before, it was his brother that put two million to pledge um into for DNA to to make sure California collected DNA from suspects.
Yep.
So um, which ended up working out hell very well here.
Yeah.
Joseph D'Angelo used to work here, a police officer by day and by night, the East Area rapist.
The first 44 rapes and two murders were committed while he was a cop here until he was caught shoplifting, a can of dog repellent and a hammer.
The police chief sacked him on the spot.
A few weeks later.
How dumb do you gotta be to steal fucking that bullshit and a hammer to go ahead and get you lose your job, bro?
You stupid.
All right, let's keep going.
A prowler turned up at the chief's home outside his daughter's window.
He was convinced it was a vengeful D'Angelo.
But staggeringly, the police chief never followed it up.
It was the one big clue that could have put a stop to all the killing.
Join when no one followed up his dismissal from the police force for shoplifting.
It's crazy.
For rape victim Jane Carson Sandler, that oversight should have been the moment Joseph D'Angelo's secret was uncovered.
That's surprising, isn't it?
Very surprising.
That's probably the biggest miss of the entire investigation.
I agree.
In 1979.
This is the fifth uh this this lady was his first fifth victim.
Fifth, okay.
They went with the with the child that we mentioned earlier.
Ah, yes, okay, that's her now today.
Okay.
The spree of sexual assaults in Sacramento stopped abruptly for no obvious reason.
What investigators didn't know was their biggest fear had come true.
This sadistic Violent rapist was on the move again and had become even more brazen.
When the East Area rapist re-emerged in Southern California, it was as a fully fledged serial killer.
So he starts off as the East Area rapist.
That's correct.
And that name gets changed to the Golden State Killer.
Yes.
So you see an offender that over the course of more than a decade, he's moving through the state.
And at that point in time, law enforcement is not conclusively connecting the dots that this is the same guy.
He is probably the only offender that I know who has had different monikers when it was an unsolved series.
The Golden State killer murdered 13 people across the state of California.
Added to the 50 rapes and various other assaults and kidnappings, he became one of the United States' most hunted fugitives.
Every detective in the country wanted to solve the crimes, including Detective Paul Hulls, who first got his hands on the case files in 1994.
You started investigating this just as DNA technology.
And just before he gets into how I identified it, just to give you guys a little insight here, the worst thing ever, man, is inheriting an old ass case from another detective or another investigator.
Holy, I gotta give this detective a Don DeMarco because there's nothing worse than getting an old ass case that is big as hell.
You have zero idea what went down before.
You get the case because the detective before you got, you know, retired or whatever may be.
So you're a newer detective, you get assigned a big case like this.
You don't know what went down before, you don't know where to start.
And um kudos to this guy for taking the initiative to take this case seriously.
Because a lot of the times, whenever you get cases handed down to you, you're like, bro, this isn't mine, I don't give a fuck.
And you go ahead and you pursue your own thing.
I mean, I'll be honest, I'm guilty of it myself.
Like when I would come into a group or I started a new field office, they'd give me a bunch of old ass cases, and I'd be like, all right, I'm gonna close all these things out as soon as I can.
Um, because it's not your baby, you don't give a shit.
Um, but this guy obviously um, you know, uh with obviously with the star power that this case had, uh, he took it seriously and was able to bring it to fruition, which is uh really great.
So shout out to him for that.
Because inheriting an old-ass case is a pain in the ass, guys.
I can tell you that from being a former investigator.
Let's go ahead.
...was becoming a real thing for law enforcement, didn't you?
That is the reason why I initially decided, well, I need to look at this case because I have this this newfangled DNA technology.
And I was like, well, let me see what I can do.
And since 2001, the Golden State Killers DNA profile was up in the FBI's CODIS system, which is the FBI's DNA database.
That's a national data.
That's a national database.
Uh it's over 16 million profiles in that database.
It didn't hit.
Because Joseph DeAngelo had never been convicted of any crime in trouble with the police on that level.
He was not in any database.
He he had never been convicted of a crime that qualified him to be compelled to give his DNA to put you put into a database.
And you guys are probably wondering, well, what do they what's compelling enough to put someone's DNA in a database?
So back in like 2013, 2014, guys, there was a new rule slash you know, mandate from law enforcement agencies that if you arrested someone for a felony, you had to DNA swab them, right?
So um, I mean, at the feds, I didn't have to do that so much because when I arrested someone, I'll turn them over to the marshals because think of the marshals as like the the federal sheriff's office, they basically take all the prisoners, they would DNA swab them.
But for any time you're arrested for a felon in the United States, they typically DNA swab you nowadays.
But back then he had not been committed uh convicted or caught for any crimes.
He had never been arrested because he just got like a petty theft, which is probably a larceny back then, and they didn't DNA swab you back in you know the 60s, 70s when he got arrested for that shoplifting.
Wasn't he convicted for like the shoplift effect that shoplifting?
No, yeah, but it was the crime wasn't uh I don't know if he got convicted for it, but either way, it wouldn't have been a crime that they were collect DNA for on back then.
Like nowadays they might if it's a felony, but back then they didn't collect DNA for some of these crimes.
He didn't get convicted.
What happened was he was just kicked off the police.
Okay, so yeah, it was just like he got caught, and okay.
So yeah, but even if they did catch him, they wouldn't have collected DNA anyway.
It was before that time.
So How did you find him?
So that's where uh as I sat back just almost feeling defeated about all these years, haven't found this guy.
How am I going to get this case to progress?
And that's when I learned about this technique using uh uh genealogy and DNA.
Oh, shit's about to get real.
Oh shit!
Oh shit!
History websites like Ancestry.com and Jedmatch.com can help track down persons of interest.
One of their features is that you could enter your own DNA to find long-lost family members.
But Holes took it to the next step using DNA collected from the Golden State killer's crime scenes, he uploaded it to see if he could get any matches.
Oh man, now you're a grand whack it off at other places, huh?
That lotion ain't so good now, is it?
Oh, murder.
This is scary.
Yeah, they had all that DNA from this dude whacking it in the places, slugging as me is gonna come back to haunt him now, bro.
Let's keep going.
Was a brilliant thought.
Smart, modern detective work.
Were you doing this though on a clandestine level?
Did you have to create a false profile?
Yes.
So we created an undercover profile and uploaded the golden state killer's DNA profile in all right, guys.
When he says undercover profile, whatever, but basically what that means is the police department paid to create an account, paid to submit the stuff, and what they did was they created a fake profile as if it was really someone trying to fight figure out, you know, if they're related to this serial killer.
Um they did it surreptitiously that way, so they wouldn't alert the company that they were conducting an investigation utilizing their site.
That's basically what he means when he says we use the undercover profile.
He basically posed as a regular person trying to identify um a potential, you know, relative that they're long been long estrained from estranged from.
Um, so yeah, man, very very smart detective work right here.
Let's keep going.
To Jedmatch within a day, I had the list of potential uh relatives uh to the golden state killer out of Jedmatch within a short list.
So we ended up with roughly five males that had California connections that were of the right age that caused us to have to do a little bit more research on who these individuals were to see if they had any other aspects of them that caused us to we might need to look at them closer as a potential suspect.
That short list had the name Joseph James D'Angelo Gotcha bitch, holy 40 years later, they got your ass, bro.
All right, let's keep going.
Now let's see how they got of the golden state killer perfectly.
He lived in Sacramento and was the right age to commit the crimes.
After secretly watching him for days, police took a used tissue out of his garbage bin and tested it for a definitive DNA match.
It came up positive.
The fantastic gotcha moment.
Gotcha, bitch.
There is no question that Joseph D'Angelo is the golden state killer.
The DNA evidence that we have in this case is uh conclusive.
Coming up, staring down the golden So yeah, guys, that that's freaking crazy.
And another example where this happened, you guys, if you guys like this like um catching guys decades after the fact, go watch the BTK breakdown I did.
Basically, he came out of retirement, right?
Because he guess he wanted to bust some nuts and kill some people again, and he was sending the the police all these like you know clues, sending them a serial box, haha, serial killer, whatever the fuck with tied up dolls.
Um the police ended up catching him as well through DNA, and it's very interesting how they did it.
So if you guys like this um serial killers facing justice decades after the fact type theme, go ahead and watch the BTK breakdown I did.
Also, very interesting how they caught him through the use of DNA.
All right, so let's get into the trial.
Okay.
The trial to trial.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
That back to no, how you had it before.
Just we'll keep playing the video that we had.
Okay.
Hopefully, he'll stay here until the day he dies.
And case closed for a good cause.
Oh, I yeah, share the screen.
There you go.
After 24 years of looking for this guy, I gotcha.
That's next on 60 Minutes.
Also, guys, do me a favor.
Like the video.
Subscribe to the channel.
Margaret Wardlow and Jane Carson Sandler have waited 40 years to look the man who raped them in the eyes.
Today is that day.
But looking at the shuffling, frail elderly man in orange prison overalls, it's hard to picture the golden state killer.
The monster behind at least 50 rapes and 13 murders.
Seeing him in that orange jumpsuit.
It must have given you some pleasure.
Pause.
Yes, I feel there's closure.
He's probably like on that Scooby-Doo type shit.
I would have got away with it too if it wasn't for you pedland DNA websites.
What the fuck, man?
I know he's mad as hell, bro.
What?
Actually, um, put the camera on you.
Yeah, let me put you with you here because we're gonna get here with the copper, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry, guys, we gotta play around with it when you're using 60 minute type shit.
Actually, when he got caught, he got arrested.
You know what he said?
What's gonna happen to the rose in the oven?
Wait, that's what he said when he got arrested.
What's gonna happen to the roast in the oven?
Those were his words, like bro, but he was like, I gotta roast in the oven.
Well, like not all nonchalant, like, well, I gotta roast in the oven.
Do you imagine that all the police show up with the FBI and they come and arrest your ass here and oh bro, I I gotta I gotta get this pork done, man.
Come on.
Yeah, he couldn't give three F like because he was already 73.
I mean, he lived his whole life happy with his daughters and and granddaughters and everything.
And his wife and his wife, exactly.
So who's the divorce lawyer?
Also, exactly.
It brings me through the fact that um I cannot believe that she wouldn't suspect anything.
They will say that this his wife didn't know anything about the the um the murders and the rapes and everything, so that's sus.
Yeah, but even if she did, she does isn't compelled to testify because um spouses have something called privilege, kind of like when you like attorney client privilege with your lawyer, you can confess to your lawyer and say, I did it.
Um, spouses also have the privilege of they don't have to tell the police anything about their spouse.
Yeah, but also into the video that I watched.
Um, when his wife actually started like becoming suspicious of everything.
You can alarch camera, there you go.
When his wife became became suspicious, he stopped and he went on the summer vacation with his three daughters and everything, and it would say that he stopped because he had the daughters and he kind of regretted everything he did.
Yeah.
Crazy that he had three daughters doing all this crazy shit.
And he also had sisters.
Wow.
Yeah, and well, he stopped because of that.
Yeah, whatever he killed.
Where's some on camera, Angie?
Sorry.
He stopped because of that.
He stopped because he got married, he got kids.
Actually, not because he got married, because he he kept committing these crimes when he was married, but when he got his first first daughter, or second, I think, that's when he stopped.
And then his his granddaughters and and daughters um testified for him in the in court.
They said, like he was a great dad, he was a great grandpa, and they had no clue.
Yeah, they literally had no clue.
Yeah.
All right, uh, let's get back to it.
The trial.
I know where he is now.
I've taken pictures of this building.
Uh, I know where he is, and this is hopefully he'll stay here until the day he dies.
For Paul Holes, it's surreal to know the man he'd spent half his life searching for is now behind bars.
After 24 years of looking for this guy and trying to identify him to see him, you know, on the uh in the interview room on the computer monitor, as I'm watching him just sit there looking dejected, was a reward in and of itself.
He just think about that roast.
Like, damn.
Forty-two years after his first sadistic rape, Joseph D'Angelo was finally arrested here at his home, hiding in plain sight among his suburban hunting grounds.
A retired father of three daughters, he's been married to a local divorce lawyer for all those years.
And ironically, despite specializing in the trade and being estranged from him since 1991, she has never divorced Joseph.
You see, the law Here says communication between spouses is privileged.
You can't be forced to testify against your husband or your wife in court.
In short, we may never know exactly what she knows.
Pause.
And she probably won't say anything because it'll make her look bad.
Yeah.
She probably had her suspicions.
She probably that's an it's a lose-lose scenario, so she's never gonna say anything.
Well, you you know, we we we were talking earlier.
Yeah, that um he will leave, like you will know because of his behavior that he was like an odd guy.
Yeah, because of his like his girlfriend.
And we were talking later, like she she kind of knew Bailey Siren sending her a video that this his this first girlfriend that he got, and he he was gonna get engaged with her.
Bonnie.
Um yeah, Bonnie.
Um, we have a video on that too.
If y'all want to really see how crazy this guy is.
Yeah, we could you can we can show it to them real quick.
Let's go ahead and go over his childhood.
Yeah.
So this check this out, guys.
This is how crazy this dude was when it came to he he was he really he was a massages for real.
Uh hit hit uh he needed to get my book and stop being fucking angry at women.
Hit hit the golden state killers.
Uh it's the four tab.
Oh, there you go, Angie.
She found it.
Um, no, the one before that.
Okay.
That one.
Go ahead.
Play this.
And let's enlarge it.
His his ex-girlfriend state killer came and testified at his trial.
Go ahead.
The former fiancé of the golden state killer is speaking out to Inside Edition.
I got out of it, but to be engaged to him ever.
She was like, yikes!
Like, holy is uh a regret I'll always have.
Bonnie Calwell was engaged to Joseph D'Angelo in the early 1970s when she was just 18.
Their engagement announcement was carried in the local newspaper.
He was my first long-term relationship.
Uh I didn't have dating experience.
It started off uh very lighthearted.
But Bonnie broke off the engagement when she found out how scary D'Angelo could be.
He did not take the rejection well.
He actually And she didn't know about the murders at this point, guys.
She just she just knew that he was acting a little bit weird.
No, but he wasn't he wasn't committing murders like that.
You know why she's gonna be able to do that?
No, no, no.
Uh no, because remember, they had they had been able to trace back that he had been linked to burglary since 1968.
Oh, right, right, right.
Okay.
But he hadn't killed people yet, yes.
Go ahead.
Um, so he actually beat a dog to death in front of her.
Yep.
Oh and she didn't cut it off because of that.
She cut it off because he asked her to help him cheat on a test.
Yeah, not because of him beating a dog.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
Yeah, not because of him beating a dog to death, but instead because he asked her for help cheating on the test.
Wow.
Like, like what?
Like cheating on a test, like in school?
That was the drill deal break.
No, yeah, college.
College.
Yeah, okay, because he was a big thing.
So that was a deal breaker.
That was the dog.
Exactly.
Like, not the dog.
Like, just help me.
I guess fuck that dog.
Fuck that dog, bro.
All right.
Let's keep going.
He tried to abduct her at gunpoint so he could take her to Nevada and force her to marry him.
He said, get dressed, we're going to Reno, we're gonna get married tonight.
Did you believe that he would use that gun if you said no?
I didn't know.
Now I know that he's more than capable of do of using a gun to kill someone.
D'Angelo's hatred of Bonnie was unmistakable when he launched his monstrous 13-year-long crime spree.
One of the victims says D'Angelo repeatedly spat out, I hate you, Bonnie, as he raped her.
Take your mask on the fuck out court yesterday.
Bonnie revealed her face and gave the monster a long steely glare.
She wasn't allowed to speak since she is technically not a victim of D'Angelo's crimes.
Her friend, D'Angelo rape survivor, Jane Carson Sandler, spoke on her behalf.
Even a gun pointed at her face could not make her choose you.
I don't think the man has a soul.
This is Pause.
That's a L. Can't even get a girlfriend with a gun to the face.
Come on, man.
This is this is crazy.
Like the victims and his ex-girlfriend just became friends.
Yeah, isn't that kind of weird?
Like so weird.
Like one of them was having sex with him conceptually, and the other one wasn't.
That's kind of fucking weird.
Oh my god, Mark!
Like, that's kind of fucking crazy, right?
They're like Eskimo sisters on some weirdo time shit.
She said.
what They're Eskimo sisters, man.
Sorry.
I can't see through a tears.
There was more anguish today in the courtroom as the families of those D'Angelo murdered faced him down.
Today I am in the room with the pathetic excuse of a man who will now finally be held accountable for his actions.
My dad lay at the front door.
Oh, oh, that's the daughter of the girl that uh oh hit play, hit play.
Yeah, that's the daughter of the girl that got uh her father got killed in front of her.
People are saying and cancel.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we're probably gonna get canceled after that one.
This dude Golden State Killer was out here busting nuts in all over California, man.
Boom look up humor.
Alright, let's go back.
And ended up dying on the way to the hospital.
D'Angelo, a former police officer, will be sentenced for 13 murders and 50 rapes on Friday.
Pause.
Yeah, he ended up pleading guilty to those.
And you know, it's it's interesting because I would say that girl right there probably had one of the worst experiences because yeah, she got graped and everything, but she watched her father die in front of her.
Yeah, so yeah.
Um uh hit let's go back to the uh the the uh 60 minute one.
Something this video didn't go over.
Um people like everyone other one, second to last.
Okay, most people ask like why people like this do stuff like that alongside a lot of other serial killers.
Show uh Kim.
He had a very tough childhood, so his father was a sergeant in the US Army.
Uh-huh.
So they moved around a lot, so he hadn't like no friends on anything.
So he wasn't in any sports and said he would blow up animals for fun.
Yeah, that was his hobby.
Yeah, that was his hobby.
A lot of serial killers start off with hurting animals.
Yeah, like that's that's how a lot of the the Jeffrey Dahmer kind of started that way.
Like a lot of these guys like start with hurting animals.
Yeah, and also um his sister or fuck with animals, sorry.
That does his sister testify that his dad he never confirmed this, but his dad like apparently abused him.
And he also was a witness when he's seven-year-old when his seven-year-old sister was raped by two Armen in the warehouse.
Oh when they were in German.
Uh-huh.
They were stationed somewhere with his father, and he witnessed her getting raped by some of his fathers, like co-workers and everything.
Damn.
That's that's terrible, man.
You will think that these things like actually fucked him up a little bit.
He's fine.
And he will become like you know, all these um serial killers and rapists uh tend to be fucked up by something in their childhood.
Yeah, they come with trauma and everything.
Yeah, childhood.
Yeah, because there's always that age-old question are serial killers born or made.
I would argue that they're mostly made.
Yeah, most of them.
You will say that they are sociopaths.
Yeah.
Um guys, let me a favor, by the way, man.
I hope you guys are enjoying this broadcast.
Shout out to uh Kim and Angie with the extra insight, you know, doing some research with these little uh little tidbits that I didn't even know.

Um, share, yeah.
Just go back to uh yeah.

Okay, yeah, enlarge her, enlarge her.
Uh yeah, let's read the chats while Angie does that.
Go ahead, go ahead, Kim, read them.
CJ says, Myron, do you have any tips on how I could get smarter?
Any books you recommend?
Yeah.
Uh Myron, do you have any tips on how I could get smarter any books you recommend?
Why women deserve less out on Amazon right now?
Okay, okay, okay.
Alright, sorry about that.
Okay.
What was that question again?
Sorry about that, guys.
Do you have any tips on how I can get smarter?
Any books you recommend?
Uh man, I mean, I I got a bunch of books that I like.
I you know what I was reading recently, that's pretty good, guys.
Um the uh um it's the book by 50 Cent, Hustler's Ambition or something like that.
I think that one was really good.
A lot of good tidbits in there.
Um, and then we got the documentary back up, guys.
Here we'll put it back in a second.
Pause it real quick.
Yeah, um, obviously, Rich Dad Poor Dad.
Um, I like um unscripted by MJ DeMarco, that's a really good book.
But um uh You Can't Hurt Me, also pretty good book.
Um, so yeah, man.
You go go check out some of those books as far as like self-improvement and getting getting your mindset right.
Big Mo says Arepas originated in hate.
Uh, here we go.
You just started a debate.
Again, I my Mo Mo started this debate a few days ago between Kim and I because you know, if you know Colombian and Venezuela, it's unspoken beef between us.
That's not his fucking myth.
Um, we have these big arguments on where RFS were originated when obviously everybody knows that are if I was already originated in in Venezuela.
So Mo started this, no, he's like putting it back to him like they were originally hate.
Which is like in the chat saying that he only said that um to get us mad.
But yeah, of course he did.
Listen, most our problems were originated when Columbia and Versus together.
Yeah, right.
She would this is what they say when they cope me.
Like they're doing this just to cope, you know that.
Look at what you started, Mo.
All right, let's get back to the Golden State killer versus golden at A. Yeah, yeah.
We'll hit uh we'll hit the um yeah, we'll go back to the documentary.
Okay, okay.
All right.
Okay, here's the lead investigator, Carol Daly, still can't work out why suspicions about D'Angelo weren't raised earlier.
He had a different ski mask for almost every rape, a different jacket, different shoes.
If he threw them away after each use, uh I have no idea.
What did he do with everything he stole?
Did he bring him into his house?
Did he hide him somewhere?
So if you were a partner or a wife, right?
You think you would have some sort of inclination that something was going on.
I would think so, but then um, you know, if he was out all hours of the night, it would be basically what happened was when the wife was questioned, she said that she believed him every time he stepped out.
Uh that he had to go work or do something like that.
So allegedly, of course.
Allegedly.
So let's continue on.
Yeah, most favorite term.
But the divorce time or wondering what you know, what are you up to?
The Golden State Killer case is unprecedented in many ways, but above all, for the way it was solved.
Perhaps it's a look into where future police investigation is hitting.
And that could mean cold cases all over the world could be reopened to make use of the ever increasing wealth of DNA material stored on genealogy websites.
It's a much more precise tool to be able to allow law enforcement to actually identify this guy that is committing these atrocities, and we're not seeing anything about who you are genetically.
We just know, oh, you shared a common ancestor many generations ago with our guy.
At some time, somewhere in a penitentiary here in California, somebody will walk in to a jail cell and say, sorry, I put you in there, Uncle Joe.
I was just looking for some distant relatives in Norway or Italy.
There could be that scenario, absolutely.
As it stands, Joseph D'Angelo.
Yeah, so he's still thinking about that roast, I guess.
But yo, uh he does look at his face like, man, I just want some rose.
But yo, for all them serial killers back in the day, y'all were busting nuts at the crime scene, man.
They're fucking coming for y'all, man.
Next thing you know.
Because they definitely watch it now, man.
You guys want to bust nuts all over the place.
Next thing you know, your cousin wants to, you know, figure out who their estranged uncle is.
Next thing you find out, that's a fucking serial killer, man.
So these serial killers are about to get all caught, man.
All right, let's keep going.
We'll be tried for the 13 murders he is accused of.
The 50 ripes fall outside the statute of limitations in California.
But for his victims, including Margaret Wardlow, any justice is enough for the cruel man whose identity she thought she'd never know.
Alright, so yeah, guys, he ended up getting uh, you know, 12 consecutive life sentences without the possibility of the parole, plus eight years, and he basically pled guilty and could he confess to other unsolved crimes as well.
And that was a part of his plea agreement because they were gonna originally push for the death penalty, but he was able to avoid the death penalty by pleading guilty and helping them solve other crimes.
And here's a list here.
Uh you want to tell them real quick about this, Angie?
Because you you found this list here.
Hang on, I don't know how to pull it up.
Oh, here.
Yeah, just share the screen.
Okay, here.
Um, here's the list, you guys.
You can see all the victims.
Some of them are identified, some of them are not.
And you can see the charges and the number of the victim, of course, where he committed all these crimes.
Yeah.
So and you can see like also the cases like by name.
So Visa Ransacker, original non stalker, all these things.
Yeah, it's very detailed.
And this is on the golden state killer.com.
So if you guys are, you know, one of these people that loves stats and numbers and likes to keep track of this stuff.
Um, don't worry, someone already did it for y'all.
All the numbers of the people that he used and killed and everything.
So yeah, go ahead and feel free to uh to check that out.
But uh yeah, that case is crazy.
Let's hit the rest of these chats and close out here.
Julio says, Oh, honey, Angie is a bum.
Big Kim with spinach and kale.
Now we need wife number one.
Say BBC gang.
So oh man.
That was easy.
And who said uh who said that?
Put Kim on camera.
Uh Julio, okay.
What's uh what else?
Uh Chinese.
Thank you, bro, for the donation.
What do you think is wrong?
Uh border crisis.
1009?
Okay.
Nine.
Okay.
LNG.
All right, go ahead, Kim.
What are you saying?
What do you think is wrong with the border crisis from Chinese MSS?
Uh, I mean, anytime you open up the borders, it's always gonna be a security threat, man, because you don't really know who's coming through.
You know, but I'm not surprised.
This happened when Obama was in office too.
They opened the borders like morons.
What else?
John Moran says taking notes.
Appreciate that, my friend.
Smashing reality.
Myron, have you heard of the smiley face killer theory?
Possible current zero killer in the Chicago land and Lake Michigan area.
Um, if it's the guy that I'm thinking about, the Chicago Strangler, they haven't caught him yet.
Um, I don't know if his nickname is a smiley, but you might be thinking about that guy.
Let's keep going.
Brandon Hunter, can we get a feta episode on guns and debunking liberal gun control myths?
Also, blue pilled conditioned men creating the increase in mass shootings.
Uh, yeah, I mean, maybe maybe one day we might even talk about that on Fresh and Fit.
But yeah, definitely the these, you know, the current sexual marketplace has placed what the hell, someone used your picture.
Oh, it's Kim.
I guess it's you.
You wanna you're supposed to be?
Yeah, that's you.
So you might as well just read your own super chat.
Angie, stop looking at my Myron like that.
I will secure the number ones.
Yo, what the hell, man?
You guys need to grow up.
God damn it.
Fucking hilarious.
Mo is we creating all these all these things.
Most try to start trouble, man.
Yeah.
Most of the chat saying that.
Yo, guys, like the fucking video, bro.
Like the video.
We got 1.5k likes, but you but only uh 2,000 y'all are watching, man.
Get get us to 2,000 likes, man.
For us giving you this entertainment.
It's midnight right now on a Sunday.
We're over here filming for y'all, man.
So going over time.
Kim's phase was hilarious.
What else do we got, Kim?
That's it.
Cool.
Um, ladies, what are your final thoughts on the situation before we close out?
What's your what are your final thoughts?
Um, it was a good case.
I've been wanting to cover it for a while.
It's interesting.
Thank you for helping out on it too.
Thank you for having me.
Yeah.
Um, it was cool being here and doing it live, seeing everyone's comments and everything.
No, it's great.
I wanna I want to give Kim a shout-out because this is her first time doing this, and she actually did pretty good.
I mean, you were great, sweetie.
Thank you.
A lot better than her first time, don't worry.
We can actually understand you.
You just suck at reading.
Okay, dude.
Where are I cannot find it?
This sounds anyways.
Um, yeah, I was very very nervous the first time I did it.
So I think you are in.
I mean, you did pretty good.
I would really like to have any here.
Thank you very much, my love.
Cool.
Uh guys, I hope you enjoyed that one, man.
With you guys been requesting this one for months, man.
So I'm I'm happy that we were able to finally deliver it to you and we didn't get shut off while using uh the documentaries.
Yeah, finally.
Uh something, Angie.
Uh well, I really like this case.
You guys have been asking this for like ages.
Uh, and we finally got it done.
So I'm really happy for it.
Um, hopefully we'll do like the Menende's brothers.
I'm really excited about that case also.
I'll get Myron to watch the documentaries.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe we'll watch that tonight, actually.
Yes.
So we can like cover it like next next live.
And I'm really excited for Michael Frantiese here in the studio next week.
Yes, we're gonna have him on Wednesday, guys.
It's gonna be great.
Also, um I'm finishing uh white women deserve less pretty soon.
It's gonna be in espanhol.
In Spanish, yes, in Spanish.
Can you say it, Klee?
Can say it.
She's so cute.
She has like this Colombian accent.
It's so cute.
So yeah, you guys, um, it'll be done soon.
Oh shit.
Okay.
Yeah, this is when you're ready.
We have two more super chats.
Oh, two more.
Okay, yeah, we we could go ahead, Kim, pull them up real fast.
Toxically masculine says, Myron, can you break down how you use a VA loan home loan to jump start a real estate journey?
Yeah, just if you if you're a uh veteran, bro, you can use a VA loan to get a house pretty much with no money down.
So, what I would suggest is uh get that first house and make sure that it's a duplex or triplex, because since you're not putting any money down, what's gonna end up happening is your mortgage is gonna be super high.
So to offset that high mortgage, try to get a duplex triplex or fourplex, which you'll qualify for under a VA loan, get into the property with little to no money down and have your tenants pay that high mortgage for you.
And then will you ever do at a camper?
Yes, we will.
Okay, Angie has it on the list.
Angie's keeping a tally of all the cases that we need to do for y'all.
Yes.
You guys um Go ahead.
You guys have been requesting load loads of cases, also like cases from the mafia as well.
We're not gonna cover them all because some of them are not like I mean I don't know how to say this, but like some of them suck it now, you yeah.
Some of them really like are not necessary for like the stream.
So um we're gonna just cover like the main ones that are very important for the Italian.
They get the most requests.
Yes, and also like they're very important for the Italian Mafia history.
So yes, so we're gonna do that.
And the cases that you have been requesting, I've been piling them up in the list.
So but yeah, there's a big list.
It's a big list because you guys keep I asking same cases, which are like the highly requested that I categorize a highly requested ones.
And also you you add new cases all the time.
So there is no way we're gonna cover all of them if you don't like keep asking for the same one.
So yeah, if you guys we di typically go for the ones that you guys keep asking for over and over.
Like this one, go to the state killer.
Yeah, I've been asking for this one for a very long time.
So I was like, we gotta do it.
You know what I mean?
So yeah, it's okay to repeat yourself.
I I mean, well, I remember one guy used to DM me every single like damn near every week too about the mafia, which is why we covered it.
But um, you know, with certain types of cases, we're gonna do a series first, like the mafia for example.
We gotta do it right.
We gotta do all the families.
When I do the Columbia Cartels of Pablo Escobar, I gotta do it right, gotta do the whole series.
When I do Pab uh um, you know, uh um Chapo Guzman, Joaquin uh uh uh uh Guzman, you know, we're gonna have to do a whole series for that.
So um if we're gonna do big cases like that, it's gonna be a series gonna take time, and I'm gonna have to do it week by week.
So that's another reason too, guys.
Where sometimes they're delayed.
But um, yeah, I think we're caught up on everything, guys.
Yo, don't forget to like the video, guys, subscribe to the channel if you haven't already.
Uh we're gonna catch you guys tomorrow.
I think we're gonna either have a debate with Destiny and uh Rolo and Sartane and Sneeko, or um we might have um um a regular money Monday.
I gotta figure it out where we're gonna do it, but that's kind of what it's looking like right now.
Um Angie, you got the stuff ready to go?
Yeah, uh hang on.
I I don't know how to do the No I already have it set up for you.
And I will also watch like the the case that we should cover as well, man.
It's I'm gonna say hit live because you you might forget.
It's Island Weirness because I've been having like maybe a lot of people asking for that.
So the first female serial killer, yes, yeah, yes.
All right, okay cool.
All right, well, Angie, hit the outro and we'll get out of here.
We'll catch you guys on the next episode of Fed It Man.
Peace.
