1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,000
You're watching HLN On Demand.
2
00:00:25,020 --> 00:00:30,760
When he breaks into a home and he shines
a flashlight into people's eyes.
3
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,460
He witnesses the fear on their faces.
4
00:00:33,980 --> 00:00:36,140
He runs a knife along their skin.
5
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,720
He presses the muzzle of a gun against
someone's head.
6
00:01:08,170 --> 00:01:11,470
Welcome to Very Scary People. I'm Donnie
Wahlberg.
7
00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:17,270
He was a ruthless predator, a
remorseless serial rapist, and a killer
8
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:18,410
brutal rampage.
9
00:01:18,850 --> 00:01:24,030
He took down his prey with the cold eye
of a professional, hunting in the pre
10
00:01:24,030 --> 00:01:26,970
-dawn hours, catching his victims asleep
in bed.
11
00:01:27,390 --> 00:01:31,670
He was a living nightmare who rushed out
of the darkness to attack, then
12
00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:33,350
disappeared back into the shadows.
13
00:01:33,790 --> 00:01:37,170
For more than 40 years, no one could
figure out who he was.
14
00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:40,750
But the Golden State Killer left key
evidence behind.
15
00:01:41,110 --> 00:01:46,150
And when police finally put a name and a
face to this Phantom of the Night, the
16
00:01:46,150 --> 00:01:50,290
mystery of how he got away with his
crimes for so long would end in a
17
00:01:50,290 --> 00:01:51,290
reveal.
18
00:01:51,450 --> 00:01:54,610
This is part one of The Golden State
Killer.
19
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,120
The worst thing is not knowing, not
knowing when the rapist will strike
20
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:13,880
not knowing if you'll be his next
victim.
21
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,420
Hope that he gets caught before he gets
to you.
22
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,260
The Golden State Killer is frightening
to so many of us because he's a very
23
00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:25,340
violent sex offender.
24
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,980
Most of the rapists at that time that we
knew of, they were there for the
25
00:02:30,980 --> 00:02:32,900
satisfaction of the sex.
26
00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:35,880
The Golden State Killer, he was there.
27
00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:38,790
because of the terror he wanted to put
in people.
28
00:02:39,010 --> 00:02:44,990
He showed us who he really was, an
extremely angry person who essentially
29
00:02:44,990 --> 00:02:45,990
women.
30
00:02:48,610 --> 00:02:52,790
In 1976, I was 30 years old, and I was
happily married.
31
00:02:53,070 --> 00:02:57,550
My husband was the captain in the Air
Force at McClellan Air Force Base. I was
32
00:02:57,550 --> 00:03:00,230
also in the Air Force Reserve as a
flight nurse.
33
00:03:01,290 --> 00:03:02,810
October 5, 1976.
34
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,160
Jane Carson's husband leaves for work at
about 6 .30 in the morning.
35
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:13,060
My little three -year -old had just
climbed in bed with me for a nice
36
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:20,960
Suddenly, just a few minutes later...
The next thing I saw was
37
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,540
the light shining down the hall.
38
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:30,560
And then there was this man standing in
front of the bed with a ski mask on.
39
00:03:31,690 --> 00:03:33,350
and a large knife in his hand.
40
00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:39,310
And the minute I screamed, he said, I'll
kill everything in the house.
41
00:03:41,070 --> 00:03:42,790
He gagged us both.
42
00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:45,770
He blindfolded us both.
43
00:03:46,210 --> 00:03:48,250
And he tied us up.
44
00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:55,170
And then the next thing I know, he had
some kind of cloth that he began ripping
45
00:03:55,170 --> 00:03:56,990
in a very ritualistic manner.
46
00:03:57,710 --> 00:04:00,070
I'm thinking, oh my God, is he going to
hang us?
47
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,540
That was so scary.
48
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,880
Jay's son was just a toddler at the
time.
49
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,500
He took my son away.
50
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,600
My heart was just pounding out of my
chest.
51
00:04:09,940 --> 00:04:11,960
What did you do with my son? Where did
you put him?
52
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,860
Then he untied my ankles, and then I
knew what he was there for.
53
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:21,800
I don't remember anything about the
rape.
54
00:04:22,340 --> 00:04:25,220
My whole attention was, where's my son?
55
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,300
That was what's so terrifying.
56
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,260
He did move my son back next to me.
57
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,680
If I hear you move, if I hear anything,
I'm going to come back and kill you.
58
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,220
He would actually stay in the house for
hours.
59
00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:42,940
He's going into the fridge.
60
00:04:43,780 --> 00:04:47,200
He's going to go in my kitchen and eat
something after he just raped me.
61
00:04:47,460 --> 00:04:50,960
Not only does he possess the victims, he
possesses their belongings. He
62
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,140
possesses their house.
63
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:59,100
I knew that I just needed to wait until
I didn't hear anything to know that he
64
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:00,100
was gone.
65
00:05:02,730 --> 00:05:07,430
I was able to get my blindfold down just
a little bit, and then I could look at
66
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:12,050
my son. And I just remember hugging him
and just thanking God that my little guy
67
00:05:12,050 --> 00:05:13,050
was still there with me.
68
00:05:13,790 --> 00:05:17,070
I was a detective in the Sacramento
County Sheriff's Department.
69
00:05:17,750 --> 00:05:21,390
Jane was at a neighbor's house, and I
met her there, and I took her to the
70
00:05:21,390 --> 00:05:26,770
hospital. I would sob and sob and sob
because of what had just happened.
71
00:05:30,130 --> 00:05:33,930
After the rape, I was looking over my
shoulder all the time at any male that I
72
00:05:33,930 --> 00:05:34,970
came in contact with.
73
00:05:35,250 --> 00:05:37,470
I didn't know if he was going to come
back.
74
00:05:38,090 --> 00:05:39,090
Oh, my goodness.
75
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:42,330
I overate. I didn't wear makeup. I
isolated.
76
00:05:42,890 --> 00:05:49,390
I decided that maybe I could medicate
myself with alcohol, and I became very
77
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:50,390
ill.
78
00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:58,270
I'd be walking down the street and
getting the urge and picking out a house
79
00:05:58,270 --> 00:05:59,270
going in there and...
80
00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:02,800
You know, perpetrating an attack or
what's behind it?
81
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,820
We had five cases that all had the same
method of operation.
82
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:12,700
He was entering the homes either through
an unlocked door or had forced his way
83
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:18,180
in and always confronting the victims in
bed, shining a flashlight in their
84
00:06:18,180 --> 00:06:20,260
eyes. He had a ski mask on.
85
00:06:20,540 --> 00:06:22,720
He's saying the same things to the
victims.
86
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,420
Shut up. All I want is food and money.
87
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:28,860
He always had a weapon, a knife.
88
00:06:29,130 --> 00:06:33,450
The gun, we knew that we had one single
person doing these crimes.
89
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:37,570
We've got a serial rapist, and this is a
bad guy.
90
00:06:38,270 --> 00:06:44,430
From June 1976 to December of 1977,
there were 28 attacks.
91
00:06:44,930 --> 00:06:49,070
And he attacked twice in the same 24
-hour period of time.
92
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:53,690
We responded to one rape, and next thing
we know, we're turning around and we're
93
00:06:53,690 --> 00:06:54,690
at another crime scene.
94
00:06:54,970 --> 00:06:57,230
We need to do everything we can to stop
him.
95
00:07:00,750 --> 00:07:04,110
What is happening is he is prowling a
neighborhood.
96
00:07:05,210 --> 00:07:09,050
Reconnaissance and tracking,
surveillance, stalking.
97
00:07:09,730 --> 00:07:13,890
He was looking through windows. He was
following people home, watching the
98
00:07:13,890 --> 00:07:15,370
to see who came and went.
99
00:07:15,970 --> 00:07:19,610
He knows when the trash man comes. He
knows when the milkman comes.
100
00:07:19,930 --> 00:07:24,630
He's already got an escape route planned
that would avoid law enforcement's
101
00:07:24,630 --> 00:07:28,290
response. He's crisscrossing like a
spider doing a web.
102
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,380
so that he never comes and goes from the
same direction.
103
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:37,760
Some of these rape victims were
repeatedly raped, just act after act
104
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,620
Each thing that this person did is a
separate crime.
105
00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:47,420
We're seeing this guy for what he is.
He's a predator. He's hunting human
106
00:07:47,420 --> 00:07:53,740
beings. There probably was no other
series of cases that were as
107
00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:57,040
horrific as the East Area rape.
108
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,180
He came running right down the sidewalk
and he looked up and saw me standing
109
00:08:05,180 --> 00:08:06,180
right here.
110
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,860
In October of 1976, 30 -year -old mother
Jane Carson is sexually attacked by a
111
00:08:23,860 --> 00:08:25,500
serial rapist in her own home.
112
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,940
Her mysterious attacker goes on to
commit one brutal sexual assault after
113
00:08:30,940 --> 00:08:36,080
another. The same incredible, absolutely
unbelievable brazenness that is so
114
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,200
often characterized as work before, the
East Area Rapist is once again struck in
115
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,540
precisely the same neighborhood that has
been his target so many times before.
116
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,260
There were other sexual offenders and
predators out there, but nobody really
117
00:08:50,260 --> 00:08:53,840
captured the sort of collective
imagination and fear.
118
00:08:54,540 --> 00:08:58,400
as what we called the East Area Rapist.
So what will you do now?
119
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,940
Have a dog in the house, a big dog.
120
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:07,220
The victims were very consistent in
describing a white male, somewhere
121
00:09:07,220 --> 00:09:13,040
'8 to 5 '10, reasonably athletic build,
160 to 180 pounds.
122
00:09:13,460 --> 00:09:16,440
We knew he had a size 9 foot from the
footprints.
123
00:09:17,020 --> 00:09:20,560
We got all sorts of eye color, blue,
green, brown.
124
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,660
We didn't have that much to go on.
125
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:30,020
But police gathered 11 different
descriptions from witnesses who had seen
126
00:09:30,020 --> 00:09:33,240
unmasked suspect as he fled several
different crime scenes.
127
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,500
He came running, running right down the
sidewalk.
128
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:40,060
And he looked up and he saw me standing
right here.
129
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,520
The witness made a sketch of the fleeing
man's face in the minutes after seeing
130
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:46,520
him close up.
131
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,380
I'm an art student and I drew out.
132
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,280
A picture of him standing next to the
tree as I saw him, and I drew a picture
133
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,620
him running down front and back.
134
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:04,060
But investigators were not able to
positively identify a suspect from that
135
00:10:04,060 --> 00:10:05,060
sketch.
136
00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:10,960
Nothing they did seemed to be able to
stop this person. He just kept going and
137
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:11,960
going.
138
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,440
And then he targets a 13 -year -old
schoolgirl named Margaret Wardlow.
139
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,300
My parents were divorced.
140
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,220
And I was living with my mom. My mom was
a single parent.
141
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,800
She's living in a two -story structure
that backed up to the levee to the
142
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:27,800
American River.
143
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:30,260
I was only 13 years old.
144
00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:34,320
I never considered the fact that I might
become a victim.
145
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,960
It's very possible he's just wandering
along the levee looking into houses and
146
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,120
sees Margaret and decides, you know
what, I'll take the risk, but I think I
147
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,120
get away with it.
148
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:59,260
I went to bed fairly early, and I was
awoken with a flashlight in my face.
149
00:11:01,860 --> 00:11:05,900
And it didn't take me very long to
realize that it was these air rapists.
150
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,380
I was blindfolded. I was gagged.
151
00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:12,980
My hands and feet were both tied.
152
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,420
The mother was in another bedroom, and
the rapist went in there and tied her
153
00:11:18,420 --> 00:11:19,540
bound her and gagged her.
154
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:26,180
There's no question the East Area Rapist
really got off on inflicting fear.
155
00:11:26,860 --> 00:11:29,080
Everything that he said was in this
harsh whisper.
156
00:11:29,660 --> 00:11:33,260
Do you want to die? Do you want me to
kill your mother? And I realized it
157
00:11:33,260 --> 00:11:34,260
at that very moment.
158
00:11:34,460 --> 00:11:35,520
He's going to rape me.
159
00:11:36,980 --> 00:11:43,140
This is not just about the rape. This is
about causing incredible fear and
160
00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:44,200
exhibiting a rage.
161
00:11:48,970 --> 00:11:53,410
After we realized that he had gone, my
mom started screaming out for the
162
00:11:53,410 --> 00:11:54,410
neighbor to come.
163
00:11:54,650 --> 00:11:56,330
And he came over with a shotgun.
164
00:11:57,430 --> 00:12:00,070
And then the neighbor's wife came in and
untied me.
165
00:12:01,010 --> 00:12:03,570
My mom was in shock after what happened.
166
00:12:04,270 --> 00:12:05,990
My mom took it really, really hard.
167
00:12:07,790 --> 00:12:14,490
My role was to be there to interview the
victims as soon as possible
168
00:12:14,490 --> 00:12:15,970
after the rape had occurred.
169
00:12:16,540 --> 00:12:18,400
I was hoping that they wouldn't catch
this guy.
170
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:27,540
A man downtown calls the police
department and says, I know the identity
171
00:12:27,540 --> 00:12:28,600
East Area Rapist.
172
00:12:28,860 --> 00:12:33,840
And the officer that they dispatched to
take that report is Joe D 'Angelo.
173
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,800
D 'Angelo writes nothing in the report
about what the man says, just the
174
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,320
HBD has been drinking, and closes the
vial.
175
00:12:45,930 --> 00:12:49,430
After a stint in the military, Joseph
DeAngelo got his degree in criminal
176
00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:51,770
justice and joined the men and women in
blue.
177
00:12:52,030 --> 00:12:57,230
He moves to Exeter and becomes a police
officer for three years.
178
00:12:58,190 --> 00:13:02,430
There was a huge increase in burglary,
and the department was really struggling
179
00:13:02,430 --> 00:13:03,770
to find the culprit.
180
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:06,590
He was very proud whenever he wore a
uniform.
181
00:13:07,710 --> 00:13:11,730
DeAngelo was kept busy on patrol, but on
off hours he had a seemingly
182
00:13:11,730 --> 00:13:14,070
traditional home life as a family man.
183
00:13:16,490 --> 00:13:19,470
Joe D 'Angelo and Sharon got married in
1973.
184
00:13:20,270 --> 00:13:22,770
We call her Sherry. They were happy
together.
185
00:13:23,490 --> 00:13:28,050
Joe's childhood friend Judy Schneider
and her parents were Joe's very special
186
00:13:28,050 --> 00:13:29,110
guests at the wedding.
187
00:13:29,390 --> 00:13:33,550
When you look at the wedding picture,
you can see the pride in Joe's face. You
188
00:13:33,550 --> 00:13:35,590
can see the pride in my parents' face.
189
00:13:35,970 --> 00:13:40,850
And the strong bond D 'Angelo shared
with Judy and her family grew as Joe
190
00:13:40,850 --> 00:13:41,849
a father.
191
00:13:41,850 --> 00:13:44,750
They'd come out here to the house all
the time and visit Mom and Dad, bring
192
00:13:44,750 --> 00:13:47,120
babies. They were very proud parents.
193
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,980
His wife was in law school at the time.
194
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,260
My sister and I, you know, would go out
and babysit because then we found out,
195
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,180
well, Joe would help put in her through
school.
196
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:56,500
He worked nights.
197
00:13:56,940 --> 00:14:00,000
Joe would be fixing dinner or paying
bills, shopping.
198
00:14:00,420 --> 00:14:04,940
He was doing all that so that she could
have the time to go to school and not be
199
00:14:04,940 --> 00:14:06,020
disturbed with other stuff.
200
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,820
The women he was attracted to were very
strong women, very outgoing.
201
00:14:10,220 --> 00:14:13,660
This is not a man who surrounded himself
with meek women.
202
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:22,480
In 1976, Mr. D 'Angelo relocates to
another Sacramento area police agency,
203
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,480
Auburn Police Department.
204
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,740
When he's in Auburn, he begins not only
as a patrolman, but he is at the bottom
205
00:14:30,740 --> 00:14:36,700
of the rung. And he is sent out to take
a report of a broken manhole cover or
206
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:42,700
barking dogs. This is the lowest of the
low policing, but he never...
207
00:14:43,210 --> 00:14:47,390
takes initiative to try to rise above
that. He remains on patrol.
208
00:14:47,770 --> 00:14:52,030
I talked with Chief Nick Willick. I
initially called him up and asked him if
209
00:14:52,030 --> 00:14:55,430
remembered a Joe D 'Angelo. He goes, oh,
yeah, I was his sergeant. Joe D 'Angelo
210
00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:58,930
was not a very good law enforcement
officer.
211
00:14:59,370 --> 00:15:03,810
He was not really popular among the
officers.
212
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:11,070
They did send something in him that did
not seem to allow him to fit in to the
213
00:15:11,070 --> 00:15:12,070
ranks.
214
00:15:12,510 --> 00:15:16,190
He liked the trappings of being a police
officer. He liked the power, the
215
00:15:16,190 --> 00:15:17,330
control, wearing a gun.
216
00:15:21,050 --> 00:15:24,990
You think that you're safe because your
husband is in bed alone with you?
217
00:15:25,210 --> 00:15:26,790
You think he can protect you?
218
00:15:38,330 --> 00:15:40,350
The East Area Rapist is different.
219
00:15:40,750 --> 00:15:42,330
He terrorizes his victim.
220
00:15:45,390 --> 00:15:49,910
He's now calling the victims after he's
attacked them and letting them know he's
221
00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:50,729
still around.
222
00:15:50,730 --> 00:15:51,830
I'm still here.
223
00:15:52,670 --> 00:15:54,250
I'll kill you.
224
00:15:55,970 --> 00:15:57,770
I'll kill you.
225
00:15:59,210 --> 00:16:00,970
He likes that fear.
226
00:16:01,890 --> 00:16:05,610
The problem is no one knows where or
when he'll strike again.
227
00:16:06,190 --> 00:16:08,590
The East Area Rapist seemed to know.
228
00:16:09,079 --> 00:16:10,580
Everything that we were doing.
229
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:13,800
We knew that he was reading the
newspaper.
230
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,560
He has never been caught in a home where
there was a man present.
231
00:16:18,260 --> 00:16:19,260
I'll show you.
232
00:16:19,580 --> 00:16:20,780
I'll show you who I am.
233
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,560
Joanne Miao and her husband lived in the
city of San Jose.
234
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:32,840
I was a nurse at Stanford Hospital in
Palo Alto.
235
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:35,280
I also wanted to start a family.
236
00:16:38,930 --> 00:16:43,690
December 2nd, 1978, you have Joanne and
her husband asleep in their bed when a
237
00:16:43,690 --> 00:16:45,370
masked man with a gun comes in.
238
00:16:46,090 --> 00:16:51,830
I woke up to a flashlight in my eyes and
this guy yelling, I have a gun.
239
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:54,470
I screamed at the top of my lungs.
240
00:16:55,950 --> 00:17:01,370
He ordered Joanne to tie up her husband
and then he tied up Joanne by her wrist
241
00:17:01,370 --> 00:17:02,370
and her ankle.
242
00:17:02,670 --> 00:17:04,430
He brought that gun to my head.
243
00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:07,170
I thought this was going to be it.
244
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,520
And then he got a plate and he put it on
the back of my husband.
245
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,700
And he said, if these plates fall, I
will hear it and I will kill you.
246
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,180
He took Joanne into the living room and
raped her multiple times.
247
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:33,380
I just kept on saying to myself that
you're not going to get me.
248
00:17:33,780 --> 00:17:35,720
You either survive or you don't.
249
00:17:39,020 --> 00:17:42,340
I heard the refrigerator open and then
him crying.
250
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:48,280
The victims report that the offender,
usually after the sexual assault, would
251
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,820
kind of isolate himself and they'd hear
him crying.
252
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:53,760
My mommy's making me do it.
253
00:17:54,420 --> 00:17:56,040
What's going on with this guy?
254
00:17:57,060 --> 00:18:02,860
Clearly he has some deep -seated issues
from childhood that are behind these
255
00:18:02,860 --> 00:18:03,860
attacks.
256
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:13,380
Finally, I couldn't hear anything. So
then I got up, and somehow I was able to
257
00:18:13,380 --> 00:18:15,620
dial zero to get the police.
258
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,560
I went to the hospital.
259
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,080
They didn't have rape kits or counseling
services.
260
00:18:28,020 --> 00:18:32,860
My husband and I really never talked
about what happened to us that night.
261
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,720
I wasn't allowed to talk about it.
262
00:18:36,030 --> 00:18:37,990
which I don't think was good for me.
263
00:18:39,030 --> 00:18:41,410
Joanne held back powerful emotions.
264
00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:48,510
Tension and a lot of grief and shame and
guilt, but mostly grief.
265
00:18:51,310 --> 00:18:56,570
About a year into the East Area rapist
attacks, Sacramento detectives get a
266
00:18:56,570 --> 00:18:58,830
from a police department in Visalia,
California.
267
00:18:59,150 --> 00:19:01,110
They think they have a potential lead.
268
00:19:01,430 --> 00:19:04,910
Visalia experienced a rash of
residential burglaries.
269
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:06,880
About 120 cases.
270
00:19:07,540 --> 00:19:14,460
It was a streak of alarming home
invasions from 1974 to 1975, ending just
271
00:19:14,460 --> 00:19:17,360
months before the start of the East Area
Rapist in Sacramento.
272
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,620
They called him the Visalia Ransacker.
273
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:26,040
And police felt he had a number of
similarities to the East Area Rapist.
274
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,700
Visalia Ransacker evolve and become the
Sacramento Rapist?
275
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,460
It was a theory. A good theory.
276
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,400
It was about the same height, same
weight.
277
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,120
Both offenders ransacked and
burglarized.
278
00:19:43,980 --> 00:19:49,000
The Visalia ransacker would go into the
homes. When people were away from the
279
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,140
homes, they would come home and find
their house completely ransacked.
280
00:19:53,540 --> 00:19:57,320
Items were pulled out of the drawers,
out of the cabinets, strewn on the bed.
281
00:19:58,260 --> 00:20:01,380
There is a sexual component to these
burglaries.
282
00:20:01,940 --> 00:20:05,600
He would take out bra and panties and
lay it out on the bed.
283
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,820
Almost anatomically, like a person was
laying there.
284
00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:12,320
He was masturbating inside the home.
285
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:21,360
This pattern does fit the evolution of a
serial rapist. Somebody doesn't wake up
286
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:24,560
one day and just become a very
experienced predator.
287
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:27,800
This behavior starts at a much earlier
age.
288
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:33,380
An offender learns over time how to
commit crimes.
289
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,860
how to break in without being caught.
290
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,760
What kind of a weapon do I need to bring
with me?
291
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:41,920
So they get better and better.
292
00:20:43,740 --> 00:20:49,020
If these serial crimes were perpetrated
by one lone predator, police now had
293
00:20:49,020 --> 00:20:54,820
something deeply troubling to worry
about, an evolving angry sex predator
294
00:20:54,820 --> 00:20:56,920
sinister urge to commit murder.
295
00:21:00,180 --> 00:21:03,300
He witnesses the fear on their faces.
296
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:09,860
You can think about him witnessing these
women's reactions to seeing their
297
00:21:09,860 --> 00:21:11,540
husbands or boyfriends killed.
298
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:14,140
He would have enjoyed that.
299
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:30,700
Welcome back to Very Scary People. I'm
Donnie Wahlberg.
300
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:35,310
The East Area Rapist has been playing a
haunting game of catch me if you can
301
00:21:35,310 --> 00:21:39,430
with investigators while he continues
his reign of terror in Sacramento.
302
00:21:40,090 --> 00:21:44,910
But after committing dozens of rapes, he
mysteriously vanishes, leaving
303
00:21:44,910 --> 00:21:49,730
frustrated law enforcement agents to
wonder if the East Area Rapist is gone
304
00:21:49,730 --> 00:21:53,930
good or if he will return one day as a
killer.
305
00:21:56,930 --> 00:21:58,730
They shut our task force down.
306
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:03,720
And even though we were told, let it go,
we couldn't.
307
00:22:04,860 --> 00:22:08,880
That was the hardest part for me to deal
with, that there was no closure.
308
00:22:10,260 --> 00:22:15,120
With an offender like this, and I've
seen it with psychopathic individuals,
309
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:18,600
get bored with what they are doing, and
they ratchet it up.
310
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,040
And they take on new challenges.
311
00:22:22,540 --> 00:22:27,280
The biggest fear for me was that my next
call was going to be a homicide call.
312
00:22:28,010 --> 00:22:31,610
We had so much fear that this man was
ready to kill.
313
00:22:36,950 --> 00:22:41,970
Approximately three months after the
East Area Rapist had his last attack in
314
00:22:41,970 --> 00:22:48,010
Northern California, a series of
homicides begins in Southern California.
315
00:22:49,390 --> 00:22:53,810
And women and couples start being killed
in their beds.
316
00:23:00,330 --> 00:23:04,090
The killer was somebody who could blend
into these upscale communities.
317
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:10,550
The couples that were being targeted
were in no way related to crime.
318
00:23:10,770 --> 00:23:11,770
They had no enemies.
319
00:23:12,550 --> 00:23:15,270
Dr. Robert Opperman, who was an
orthopedic surgeon.
320
00:23:15,470 --> 00:23:18,970
Dr. Deborah Manning was a psychologist.
321
00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:22,450
Lyman Smith was a former DA.
322
00:23:22,810 --> 00:23:24,730
Charlene Smith was his wife.
323
00:23:25,580 --> 00:23:29,880
She was running her own home -based
business, selling different types of
324
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,880
jewelry.
325
00:23:31,060 --> 00:23:35,580
Manuela Whithun, a loan officer, was
raped and murdered in her home.
326
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,900
Keith and Patty Harrington, a young
medical student and a nurse.
327
00:23:41,260 --> 00:23:45,900
It's very scary because there's really
no clue, nothing left behind about who
328
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:47,480
the offender is that's committing these
crimes.
329
00:23:49,260 --> 00:23:52,960
As this terrifying new serial killer
emerges in Southern California.
330
00:23:53,790 --> 00:23:57,410
Joseph D 'Angelo has been an Auburn
police officer for three years.
331
00:23:58,530 --> 00:24:02,210
Auburn is located right outside of the
city of Sacramento.
332
00:24:06,230 --> 00:24:11,610
That part of his career ended when he
was caught stealing.
333
00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:15,970
D 'Angelo was arrested for shoplifting
dog repellent and the hammer.
334
00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:18,890
It was a very stupid thing to do.
335
00:24:23,570 --> 00:24:28,890
It's what happened afterward in
apprehending this man that has kind of
336
00:24:28,890 --> 00:24:30,830
mind of the deputies who are taking the
report.
337
00:24:31,570 --> 00:24:35,950
When two sheriff's deputies arrive at
the store, they're surprised to find the
338
00:24:35,950 --> 00:24:38,350
clerks have tied D 'Angelo up in a
chair.
339
00:24:39,390 --> 00:24:41,090
He's faked a heart attack.
340
00:24:41,290 --> 00:24:44,490
He began ranting and acting crazy and
insane.
341
00:24:45,330 --> 00:24:48,770
And then when the deputies arrive, he
says he's got a head injury.
342
00:24:51,610 --> 00:24:55,210
The clerks leave the room. The Insanity
Act stops.
343
00:24:55,610 --> 00:24:59,430
The deputies are so concerned of what
they've just witnessed that they call
344
00:24:59,430 --> 00:25:02,630
Auburn. That's why he loses his job
instantly.
345
00:25:03,390 --> 00:25:08,230
Not because of the hammer, but because
of what happened in the arrest.
346
00:25:10,150 --> 00:25:13,250
And so the process to terminate was
underway.
347
00:25:13,490 --> 00:25:15,510
There is an internal affairs
investigation.
348
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,460
No longer be a police officer. He's been
terminated. He's been shamed in that
349
00:25:21,460 --> 00:25:25,540
community, whether it's from the
termination or there's something else
350
00:25:25,540 --> 00:25:31,660
in his life at that point in time. He
still has that anger. He is mad at his
351
00:25:31,660 --> 00:25:33,920
circumstances. So what does he do?
352
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:43,680
I'm the surviving daughter of Sherry
Domingo, who was one of the murdered
353
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,620
victims in the Golden State Killer case.
354
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,480
My mom met Greg when she was newly
divorced.
355
00:25:49,020 --> 00:25:53,500
She was a single mom on a budget. What
really made Greg attractive was his
356
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:56,840
personality. Greg was just so down to
earth.
357
00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:06,840
The relationship between me and my mom
was really complex.
358
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,920
As a teenager, I had already started to
desire kind of that independence.
359
00:26:12,590 --> 00:26:17,110
I was 15 at the time, just a few weeks
before my 16th birthday. Mom and I had
360
00:26:17,110 --> 00:26:18,430
been arguing a lot that summer.
361
00:26:18,790 --> 00:26:24,070
I had had this argument with my mom on
the phone. I had yelled at her, I don't
362
00:26:24,070 --> 00:26:26,810
have to comply with your rules anymore.
I'll just go wherever I want.
363
00:26:27,850 --> 00:26:28,850
And I disappeared.
364
00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:37,730
The next day, I got another phone call,
and it was from my mom's best friend.
365
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:40,410
The tone of her voice convinced me
that...
366
00:26:41,129 --> 00:26:44,170
maybe there was something important
enough that I really did need to come
367
00:26:45,610 --> 00:26:48,830
Over the years, my mom and Greg would be
together, and then they would break up,
368
00:26:48,890 --> 00:26:51,650
and they would be together again and on
again, off again.
369
00:26:52,030 --> 00:26:57,550
But when I saw Greg's car, for some
reason, I got this little glimmer. I
370
00:26:57,550 --> 00:27:01,910
thought, oh, man, if Greg's here,
everything's going to be okay. I said, I
371
00:27:01,910 --> 00:27:07,930
to see my mom. I want to see Greg. And
finally, somebody said, no, you can't go
372
00:27:07,930 --> 00:27:09,670
in. It's too messy.
373
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:18,420
They were in a downstairs bedroom and in
bed. The offender appeared to have
374
00:27:18,420 --> 00:27:22,900
gained access to the house by opening a
bathroom window.
375
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:30,840
There were deep shoe impressions in one
specific spot in the
376
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:36,620
bathroom carpet, which would indicate
that he stood in that particular spot
377
00:27:36,620 --> 00:27:38,540
a very, very long period of time.
378
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,720
The door that led into the bedroom was a
little bit warped, so when the door
379
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,880
opened, it made a scraping noise. We
believe that it was probably that that
380
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:58,820
Greg the ability to get to his feet and
lunge at the offender as he made entry
381
00:27:58,820 --> 00:27:59,820
into the bedroom.
382
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:05,220
Greg had to go into fight mode to try
and save his own life and my mother's.
383
00:28:07,310 --> 00:28:10,630
Greg actually got shot through the left
cheek. It was a non -fatal wound.
384
00:28:11,010 --> 00:28:15,270
It was enough of a blow that dropped Mr.
Sanchez to his knees.
385
00:28:15,570 --> 00:28:20,510
If I close my eyes, I can picture that
bedroom, and I can picture Greg fighting
386
00:28:20,510 --> 00:28:21,650
for his life.
387
00:28:24,330 --> 00:28:28,410
At that point, I think it's probably
when he went and tied my mother.
388
00:28:28,850 --> 00:28:33,690
Her legs were pulled up behind her, and
the wrist and ankle bound together
389
00:28:33,690 --> 00:28:34,690
behind her back.
390
00:28:35,340 --> 00:28:38,920
Sherry was killed by multiple blows to
the head.
391
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,300
In the midst of this... He's constantly
having to go back and deal with Greg.
392
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,900
It looks like he probably rushed the
offender and gets shot again.
393
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,580
He goes crumpled down in the closet.
394
00:28:52,060 --> 00:28:55,700
And that is where he died and was found
deceased.
395
00:28:59,020 --> 00:29:01,140
How was he able to...
396
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:07,280
commit these very violent acts and then
walk away and presumably have a lot of
397
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,960
blood on them and not have people
notice.
398
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,960
Working in these cases takes over your
life. It gets in your mind. I still to
399
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,700
this day can't take a shower without
someone else in the house.
400
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:29,860
I don't like to put my head back.
401
00:29:30,350 --> 00:29:34,290
with my eyes closed, the shower running
over my ears because I can't hear what's
402
00:29:34,290 --> 00:29:35,290
happening.
403
00:29:35,370 --> 00:29:36,590
That changed me.
404
00:29:41,950 --> 00:29:47,010
Women and couples start being killed,
usually by bludgeoning, sometimes by
405
00:29:47,010 --> 00:29:48,390
getting shot.
406
00:29:48,690 --> 00:29:51,450
And it was one offender, a serial
killer.
407
00:29:52,390 --> 00:29:54,490
He fed off of their terror.
408
00:29:55,670 --> 00:29:59,050
And the more terrifying he was, the
more...
409
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:00,800
He enjoyed what he was doing.
410
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:06,940
He stalked people at night. In Santa
Barbara County, a detective there said
411
00:30:06,940 --> 00:30:07,940
a night stalker.
412
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,120
And he was raping and murdering them.
413
00:30:11,460 --> 00:30:14,500
By that point in time, there was already
a night stalker known as Richard
414
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:18,620
Ramirez. So they called him the original
night stalker.
415
00:30:19,460 --> 00:30:25,240
The way he is eliminating the victims
through blunt force trauma is an
416
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,900
brutal way to kill anyone.
417
00:30:28,110 --> 00:30:29,550
He was able to escape.
418
00:30:31,250 --> 00:30:33,950
He disappeared for the next five years.
419
00:30:34,610 --> 00:30:39,930
No one's sure why there was no homicide
between 1981 and 1986.
420
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:43,170
There could be some very logical
reasons.
421
00:30:43,610 --> 00:30:47,610
It takes a lot of strength and physical
fitness to commit a murder, to break
422
00:30:47,610 --> 00:30:52,890
into somebody's home. And so there could
have been the aging process, but the
423
00:30:52,890 --> 00:30:57,720
urges. who continued to do what he was
doing, were probably still there.
424
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:03,720
And then, I believe, somehow, some way,
he sees Janelle, and he can't help
425
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:04,720
himself.
426
00:31:08,260 --> 00:31:14,980
Janelle Cruz, my older sister by one
year, she was 18 and I was 17.
427
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,860
She was like Marilyn Monroe.
428
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,480
She could walk down the road, and guys
would just be...
429
00:31:22,810 --> 00:31:23,810
staring at her.
430
00:31:24,470 --> 00:31:26,930
She was actually getting ready to go to
college.
431
00:31:27,330 --> 00:31:30,190
She was looking forward to a lot of
different things.
432
00:31:37,570 --> 00:31:40,390
Janelle Cruz happened to be home alone.
433
00:31:40,730 --> 00:31:44,030
Her family ended up doing a vacation
down in Mexico.
434
00:31:44,450 --> 00:31:47,810
She had a friend, a male friend, over to
the house.
435
00:31:48,010 --> 00:31:51,310
We know what happened because he lived
to tell about it.
436
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,420
They were listening to music. They did
hear noises.
437
00:31:55,780 --> 00:32:00,240
They disregarded those noises as maybe
it was a cat outside.
438
00:32:00,660 --> 00:32:05,520
So they closed the shutters and
continued listening to music.
439
00:32:07,780 --> 00:32:12,420
Janelle's house backed up to a park, and
there's a low wall that separates that
440
00:32:12,420 --> 00:32:14,240
park to her rear yard.
441
00:32:14,780 --> 00:32:20,840
It appears that he ends up getting into
her house through a sliding door at the
442
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:21,840
rear of the house.
443
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:29,700
At that point in time, the young man
decided, it's getting late, I better
444
00:32:30,060 --> 00:32:32,820
That was about 11 .15 in the evening. He
left.
445
00:32:33,940 --> 00:32:40,220
And not too much later, she was fighting
for her life.
446
00:32:40,860 --> 00:32:47,760
At midnight, another one of our friends
had returned a phone call, and Janelle
447
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:48,760
never answered.
448
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:58,080
Hours later, the body of Janelle Cruz
was found in her bedroom.
449
00:32:58,820 --> 00:33:03,240
Janelle showed evidence that she had
previously been bound, but the bindings
450
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,240
been removed.
451
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,380
He didn't leave her tied up for the
investigators to find.
452
00:33:07,660 --> 00:33:09,960
He was trying to throw them off.
453
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,360
The difference of Janelle Cruz's case
was that it was more violent than the
454
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:21,280
others. The offender not only bludgeoned
her by the back of the head, he had
455
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,540
bludgeoned her in the forehead.
456
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,520
Across the bridge of her nose, she
swallowed her teeth.
457
00:33:27,780 --> 00:33:33,080
She's the one victim where the offender
hit her in the face. He's face -to -face
458
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,940
with her versus the other victims who
were always face -down.
459
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,780
There's a reason he's doing this.
460
00:33:39,220 --> 00:33:43,620
Firing a gun is noisy. He knew he's in
an affluent neighborhood.
461
00:33:43,940 --> 00:33:46,020
Gunshots are not normal.
462
00:33:46,540 --> 00:33:48,640
Bludgeoning is quieter.
463
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:51,880
The offender is progressing.
464
00:33:52,780 --> 00:33:58,300
What has caused that level of anger, or
has it actually been elevated to hatred?
465
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,680
Because hatred and anger are not the
same emotion. And if you hate someone,
466
00:34:03,020 --> 00:34:05,600
you're able to turn them into an object.
467
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,480
She was depersonalized by him, which
does suggest that he hated her.
468
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,860
Janelle had been raped before she was
killed.
469
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,860
The way in which Janelle Crew's body was
found...
470
00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:25,070
One arm was located raised slightly
above her head. I believe this indicates
471
00:34:25,070 --> 00:34:28,909
that she fought back against the
offender, was able to flip over, and was
472
00:34:28,909 --> 00:34:29,909
fighting with him.
473
00:34:31,330 --> 00:34:35,510
And that's what haunts me all the time,
is just how she died.
474
00:34:39,750 --> 00:34:44,530
I still live my life in fear because I
didn't know who killed Janelle, so I
475
00:34:44,530 --> 00:34:46,750
didn't know if they were watching me or
following me.
476
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:52,219
What made it more terrifying is what if
one day they decide to flip that switch
477
00:34:52,219 --> 00:34:55,840
again and go back to their violent
tendencies? That is scary.
478
00:35:05,140 --> 00:35:10,820
People that are involved in serial
sexual murder don't go home at night and
479
00:35:10,820 --> 00:35:12,020
regret what they did.
480
00:35:12,750 --> 00:35:16,990
They enjoy hunting for human beings.
They enjoy wrapping them up in ligatures
481
00:35:16,990 --> 00:35:18,730
and sexually assaulting them.
482
00:35:19,270 --> 00:35:21,270
To you and me, that sounds horrific.
483
00:35:21,510 --> 00:35:22,550
They don't care.
484
00:35:24,310 --> 00:35:31,150
In 1986, the homicide of Janelle Crude
was the last known original Night
485
00:35:31,150 --> 00:35:34,050
murder. How does this guy keep getting
away?
486
00:35:34,310 --> 00:35:35,650
How is he evading everybody?
487
00:35:35,950 --> 00:35:40,450
Maybe something else is going to happen
that's going to cause him to commit a
488
00:35:40,450 --> 00:35:41,450
different type of crime.
489
00:35:41,790 --> 00:35:44,130
And get caught. But it just never
happened.
490
00:35:45,130 --> 00:35:46,570
They're chasing ghosts.
491
00:35:47,530 --> 00:35:51,410
So now time goes by. You start losing a
little bit of hope.
492
00:35:52,770 --> 00:35:53,770
Years pass.
493
00:35:53,970 --> 00:35:56,050
And the cases go cold.
494
00:35:57,370 --> 00:35:59,610
I felt like he was out there watching.
495
00:36:00,510 --> 00:36:01,710
Everything going on.
496
00:36:07,950 --> 00:36:09,550
As the case went cold.
497
00:36:09,930 --> 00:36:13,270
Joseph DeAngelo settled into a routine
life of work and family.
498
00:36:13,530 --> 00:36:19,170
In 1986, Joseph DeAngelo and his wife
Sharon welcomed their second daughter.
499
00:36:19,590 --> 00:36:22,130
A third daughter would follow a few
years later.
500
00:36:22,470 --> 00:36:25,310
They would have these weekend family
movie nights.
501
00:36:26,310 --> 00:36:29,750
But by the early 1990s, his marriage had
fallen apart.
502
00:36:33,270 --> 00:36:35,990
Joe's house was directly behind ours.
503
00:36:36,410 --> 00:36:43,400
My family kind of... referred to him as
Mr. Mom because Joe had raised his
504
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,100
three daughters, from what I could tell,
mostly on his own.
505
00:36:46,460 --> 00:36:50,460
He saw that his daughters had whatever
they wanted, horse riding lessons,
506
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,120
skating lessons.
507
00:36:52,220 --> 00:36:55,900
Maybe he was trying to compensate for
the family he didn't have as a child.
508
00:36:56,620 --> 00:36:58,540
The kids seemed really happy.
509
00:37:00,060 --> 00:37:04,620
I've known Joe since I was 14.
510
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,680
When he asked me if I could babysit, I
said, yeah, sure.
511
00:37:10,300 --> 00:37:13,460
He would never say why or where he was
going.
512
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,060
He would just go.
513
00:37:16,780 --> 00:37:19,720
He was never dressed up like he was
going out for dinner.
514
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,880
He just seemed to always wear a T
-shirt.
515
00:37:23,940 --> 00:37:28,780
He never seemed like happy or sad when
he came back. He was just very much
516
00:37:28,780 --> 00:37:30,160
business as usual.
517
00:37:32,740 --> 00:37:34,540
He was always building things.
518
00:37:35,470 --> 00:37:39,350
He built them a pool, and he built them
a shaded area for the pool.
519
00:37:42,830 --> 00:37:46,330
He ultimately gets a job as a truck
mechanic.
520
00:37:46,610 --> 00:37:49,950
At a local grocery distribution center.
Save Mart.
521
00:37:50,450 --> 00:37:56,330
I started in 1993 as a driver, and Joe
was a very good mechanic.
522
00:37:56,750 --> 00:38:01,230
He had a good work ethic. He could fix
just about anything on the trailer.
523
00:38:04,780 --> 00:38:07,520
Joe became close friends with one of his
co -workers.
524
00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:11,680
I've been to his house. I've met his
family.
525
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,400
He was a compassionate person.
526
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,160
We went out three or four times a week
sometimes.
527
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,320
He was a happy fisherman. He would love
to catch fish.
528
00:38:22,220 --> 00:38:26,320
Can you imagine when it was in action
and it was blasting them frickin' guns
529
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,320
shit?
530
00:38:27,460 --> 00:38:28,460
Fabulous.
531
00:38:29,860 --> 00:38:35,000
But while one minute he was friendly Joe
D 'Angelo, in the next minute, he could
532
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,440
show a much more explosive side of
himself.
533
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:43,600
Being curious little kids, you would
sometimes look through the fence flats
534
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,580
see in other people's backyards.
535
00:38:46,180 --> 00:38:50,420
He was the scary man on the other side
of the fence that used to yell a lot.
536
00:38:50,740 --> 00:38:54,720
He would yell at us to get away from the
fence and stop looking at him. We were
537
00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:57,160
always told to kind of avoid him by our
parents.
538
00:38:57,940 --> 00:39:02,200
His girls were swimming in the pool, and
he said, make sure that you stay in the
539
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,200
shady part of the pool.
540
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:08,260
And so just to kind of mess with their
dad, one of the girls put their arm in
541
00:39:08,260 --> 00:39:10,360
the sunny spot and said, Look, Dad, I'm
in the sun.
542
00:39:11,100 --> 00:39:17,340
And he just turned around and exploded
at the girl and said, I told you, get in
543
00:39:17,340 --> 00:39:18,138
the shade.
544
00:39:18,140 --> 00:39:19,360
Get out of the sun.
545
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:20,720
It's not okay.
546
00:39:20,980 --> 00:39:24,100
And it was just this really huge
overreaction.
547
00:39:26,700 --> 00:39:29,460
Something just started to feel not
right.
548
00:39:30,300 --> 00:39:32,280
The house was just very sparse.
549
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,890
And it just kind of had this sad feeling
to it.
550
00:39:36,090 --> 00:39:37,670
There wasn't a lot of pictures.
551
00:39:37,970 --> 00:39:39,370
Everything was very brown.
552
00:39:39,710 --> 00:39:41,410
The kitchen was empty.
553
00:39:41,850 --> 00:39:47,010
Most notably was the fridge. There was
like a gallon of milk and ketchup and
554
00:39:47,010 --> 00:39:48,370
like a jar of pickles.
555
00:39:49,370 --> 00:39:54,750
His fishing buddy witnessed Joe's
instant fury in a disturbing act of road
556
00:39:56,130 --> 00:39:59,450
We were on our way to the lake and a
gentleman cut us off.
557
00:40:00,590 --> 00:40:04,610
Joe. Ran up to the gentleman's truck,
pounded on his window.
558
00:40:04,950 --> 00:40:06,210
He was hollering at the guy.
559
00:40:06,570 --> 00:40:09,870
He said he would have snatched his eyes
out of his eye socket.
560
00:40:10,850 --> 00:40:15,490
But even that was not as disturbing as
Joe's admission to hearing voices.
561
00:40:16,010 --> 00:40:18,730
There was one time he asked me, do you
hear things?
562
00:40:19,410 --> 00:40:20,530
I was like, excuse me?
563
00:40:21,070 --> 00:40:22,430
He said, do you ever hear things?
564
00:40:23,150 --> 00:40:26,150
And we really didn't get into it. I
said, no, I don't.
565
00:40:26,710 --> 00:40:29,170
I thought it was very strange at the
time he asked me that.
566
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,120
We were dealing with somebody who was
very intelligent. He would see what was
567
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,520
happening, so he had all of this
information.
568
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,760
He was always steps ahead of me.
569
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:57,240
I was of the opinion he was dead. And
then to learn that not only is he not
570
00:40:57,240 --> 00:41:03,300
deceased, but he's living a stone's
throw away from
571
00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:08,860
myself and, you know, still in this
community, was very jarring.
572
00:41:09,610 --> 00:41:12,870
I decide I'm going boots on the ground
where this guy was living.
573
00:41:13,970 --> 00:41:17,590
Someday in the future, he will die in
prison.
574
00:41:20,750 --> 00:41:27,490
After more than 40 years, over 50 rapes,
13 murders, and countless dead ends,
575
00:41:27,730 --> 00:41:29,650
there's a stunning break in the case.
576
00:41:30,690 --> 00:41:35,110
Investigators are finally closing in on
this brutal and elusive serial rapist
577
00:41:35,110 --> 00:41:35,948
and killer.
578
00:41:35,950 --> 00:41:38,630
To take down the Golden State Killer.
579
00:41:39,130 --> 00:41:40,130
In part two.
580
00:41:40,170 --> 00:41:41,450
I'm Donnie Wahlberg.
581
00:41:41,750 --> 00:41:42,850
Thanks for watching.
582
00:41:43,130 --> 00:41:44,130
Good night.
583
00:41:48,170 --> 00:41:51,290
You're watching HLN On Demand.
