MYSTERIOUS DEATH: Catching The Golden State Killer

He was called the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist, and the Original Night Stalker before anyone realized they were chasing the same man. Over more than a decade, he committed over 100 burglaries, approximately 50 sexual assaults, and 13 murders across California. Then he vanished for 40 years, raising a family in the suburbs while his victims spent decades checking their locks and flinching at unknown calls. He had studied criminal justice and worked as a cop on an anti-burglary unit just miles from the homes he was ransacking. It took a public genealogy database and a tissue in a trash can to finally put a name to the monster. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces the full arc of the Golden State Killer, from the first break-ins to the breakthrough that proved no one gets to be gone in the dark forever.Head over to our Murder True Crime Stories YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@MurderTrueCrimeStoriesIf you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!
