Summary
The Golden State Killer. The East Area Rapist. The Original Night Stalker. The Visalia Ransacker.
The monster who preyed on Californians from 1976 to 1986 was known by many aliases. And while numerous police sketches tried to capture his often-masked visage, the Golden State Killer spent more than 40 years not only faceless, but nameless.
For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. To be sure, the chances of obtaining closure—or any form of justice—after so many years were slim to none, at best.
Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. After a decades-long hunt, a suspect was behind bars. Could it be that evil finally had a name?
Delivering all-new details about the investigation and a stunning final act to the events of Michelle McNamara's haunting bestseller, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, this is the true story of how the suspected Golden State Killer was captured, as told, first-hand, by those closest to the case:
Paul Holes—the forensic criminologist and retired Costa County detective who spent 20 years trying to crack the Golden State Killer case, and finally did.
Jim Clemente (Host)—a retired FBI profiler and former New York City prosecutor who has investigated some of the highest profile criminal cases in U.S. history, including the Unabomber.

Excellent
Terrific podcast. So happy they finally got him. It should have happened many years ago. Now he will spend the rest of his life in prison. Well done to the detective who never gave up in the pursuit of this evil person.

Great podcast but...
Great podcast but please sought out the sequencing of episodes. Plays in a random order so you have to pause and find the right episode. How hard can it be to get it right?

Superb audio story
I listened to the whole of this audio show in a day. It was absolutely gripping and brilliantly told, and allowed you to understand what the families were going through in the decades it took to bring the perpetrator to justice. Some of the information in the story is understandably quite graphic but the relief and support from the families affected in finally getting resolution is clear in the latter chapters. This is one of the best audio books I have ever listened to and is thoroughly recommended.

Very interesting
For a freebie this is very good! The format is very similar to the Netflix documentary series The Nightstalker about Richard Remirez, talking with the detectives and following their journey all the way through. If your a true crime fan, i highly recommend.
