6 hours ago - Joseph James DeAngelo, a former police officer, has been identified as the so-called Golden State Killer believed to have committed 12 killings and at least 50 rapes across California from 1976 to 1986, authorities said.

She stalked the Golden State Killer until she died. Some think her work led to the suspect’s arrest.
The Washington Post Eli RosenbergThe true crime writer, who died in 2016, looms large over a case that has captivated the country with the news that former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo, 72, has been arrested and charged with two counts of murder in a case that had long gone unsolved.   book about the horrific cold case, “I’ll Be Gone In the Dark,” which was published posthumously this year with help from her husband, comedian Patton Oswalt...  The killer left a lurid trail of crime scenes and victims across the large state: horrifying home invasions, women raped in front of their bound loved ones, and a series of couples killed in their homes together. His meticulousness helped him elude capture for decades. “To zero in on a victim he often entered the home beforehand when no one was there, [works like CIA or Mossad agent, Manson attacks cut phone lines ]learning the layout, studying family pictures, and memorizing names,” McNamara wrote. “Victims received hang-up or disturbing phone calls before and after they were attacked.

The Golden State Killer is a serial killer, serial rapist, and serial burglar who committed 50 rapes in Northern Californiaduring the mid-1970s and murdered twelve people in Southern California from 1979 through 1986.[2] Other monikersinclude the Original Night Stalker, Visalia Ransacker, East Area Rapist,[3] the East Bay Rapist, and the Diamond Knot Killer.[4] The "Golden State Killer" moniker was coined by true crime writer Michelle McNamara.[5] On April 25, 2018, authorities announced the arrest of suspect 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo, a former police officer, on six counts of first-degree murder based on DNA evidence.[6][7][8][9]
The crimes initially centered on the then-unincorporated areas of Carmichael, Citrus Heights and Rancho Cordova, all east of Sacramento, where at least fifty women were raped between June 18, 1976, and July 5, 1979.[2] Earlier incidents in Visalia are now thought to be connected. In 2001, several of the Northern California rapes were linked by DNA to murders in Southern California. All of the DNA-linked assaults occurred in Contra Costa County, but the distinctive modus operandi (MO) of the rapist makes it very likely the same man was also responsible for the attacks in the Sacramento area. His last known crime, the only one after 1981, took place in 1986.
Several suspects were cleared through DNA evidence, alibi, or other investigative means and methods.[10][11] On June 15, 2016, the FBI and local law enforcement agencies held a news conference to announce a nationwide effort and a US$50,000 reward for his capture.[12]

Crimes

The Golden State Killer committed 50 known rapes in the California counties of Sacramento, Contra Costa, Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Alameda, Santa Clara and Yolo as well as over one hundred incidents of additional burglaries, peeping, stalking and prowling.[13] DNA evidence conclusively links him to eight murders in Goleta, Ventura, Dana Point and Irvine, with two other murders in Goleta linked by modus operandi but not DNA.[14][15] Many investigators also suspect the same killer in three other murders—two in Rancho Cordova and one in Visalia.[11]

East Area Rapist crimes


Three sketches the FBI focused on when it reopened the case in June 2016

Various sketches of the suspect[16][17]
The East Area Rapist (EAR) is believed to have started as a prolific burglar known as the Visalia Ransacker before later moving to the Sacramento area and progressing to rape. His initial modus operandi was to stalk middle class neighborhoods at night, looking for women who were alone in single-story homes, usually near a school, creek, trail, or other open space that afforded a quick escape.[18] He was spotted on a number of occasions but sprinted away upon detection. On one occasion, a youth who closely pursued him was shot and seriously wounded.[11]:187–188 Most victims had seen or heard a prowler on their property before the attacks, and many had suffered break-ins. Police believed the offender had a pattern of using extensive reconnaissance on several homes in a targeted neighborhood before selecting one for attack. As part of his extensive surveillance, the offender was known to peep in the windows of future victims and prowl in the yards of homes for several nights prior to attacking. On a few occasions, it is believed that, in the run-up to attacks, the offender entered the homes of future victims to conduct reconnaissance, unlock windows, unload guns, and plant binding ligatures for future use. He would also frequently call future victims leading up to the attack, sometimes for months in advance, to better understand their daily schedules and routines. On those calls he would sometimes hang up, sometimes pretend to have the wrong number, and sometimes (in calls placed after the attack) threaten to harm the victims again.[4][19] In one of these calls, which was recorded by the victim in January 1978, the offender repeats: "Gonna kill you."[19]
Although he originally targeted women either alone in their homes or with children,[10][20] the offender later came to prefer attacking couples instead.[10][21][22] His standard procedure was to break in through a window or a sliding glass door and then awaken the sleeping occupants with a flashlight while threatening them with a handgun.[10] Victims were then bound with ligatures (often shoelaces) that he found or brought with him to the crime scene, followed by blindfolding and/or gagging the victims with towels that he had taken from the residence and ripped into strips. The female victim was usually made to tie up her male companion first before being tied up in turn.[23] In many cases, these bindings were made so tightly that the victims had no feeling in their hands for hours after they were untied.[11]:434 He would then separate the couple, often stacking dishes on the back of the male, stating that if he heard the dishes rattle he would kill everyone in the house. He would then relocate the female to the living room and often rape her repeatedly, sometimes over the course of several hours.[10][23][24]
The offender at times spent hours in the home, ransacking closets and drawers,[25][26] eating food in the kitchen, drinking beer, raping the female again, and then returning to utter more threats to the victims, who were often unsure as to whether he was still in the home. In some instances, the victims believed he had left and began to move, but he then "jump[ed] from the darkness".[23] The offender typically stole items from the victims as well, often selecting personal objects and items of minimal monetary value. However, he did steal cash and firearms also. The offender would eventually leave in a stealthy fashion, and victims were usually unsure as to whether or not he had left at all. He was believed to escape on foot through a series of yards and then use a bicycle to travel home or to a car. He also made extensive use of parks, schoolyards, creek beds, and other open spaces that allowed him to stay off the street.[11]

East Area Rapist murder


Sketches released of two suspects in the Maggiore murders
On the night of February 2, 1978, a young Sacramento couple, Brian Maggiore (a military policeman at Mather Air Force Base) and Katie Maggiore, were walking their dog in the Rancho Cordova area, close to a cluster of five East Area Rapist attacks.[71]A confrontation in the street caused the couple to flee, but they were chased down and shot dead.[72] Some investigators suspected the couple had been murdered by the East Area Rapist due to the location and its vicinity to EAR attacks and the fact that one shoelace was found near the crime scene.[11]
On June 15, 2016, the FBI announced that they were confident the East Area Rapist murdered the Maggiores.[73]

Original Night Stalker crimes

Original Night Stalker crimes October 1, 1979 to May 4, 1986

  1. Monday, October 1, 1979 – Queen Ann Lane, Goleta, Santa Barbara County (attempted murder; botched attack)[74]
  2. Sunday, December 30, 1979 – Goleta, Santa Barbara County[75]
  3. Thursday, March 13, 1980 – Ventura, Ventura County[76][77]
  4. Tuesday, August 19, 1980 – Dana Point, Orange County[78]
  5. Friday, February 6, 1981 – Irvine, Orange County[78][79]
  6. Monday, July 27, 1981 – Goleta, Santa Barbara County[80]
  7. Saturday, May 4, 1986 – Irvine, Orange County[15][81]

1979

  • On October 1, an intruder broke in and tied up a Goleta couple.[11]:434 The attacker alarmed them by chanting "I'll kill 'em" to himself.[10][11]:435 When he left the room, the man and then the woman made attempts to escape, during which the woman screamed. Realizing the alarm had been raised, the intruder fled on a bicycle.[10] A neighbor, who was an FBI agent, responded to the noise and pursued the perpetrator, who abandoned the bicycle and a knife and fled on foot through local backyards.[11]:435 The attack was later linked physically to the Offerman–Manning murders by shoe prints and the same roll of twine being used to bind the victims.[11]:438
  • On December 30, Dr. Robert Offerman, 44, and Dr. Debra Alexandra Manning, 35, were found shot dead at Offerman's condominium on Avenida Pequena in Goleta.[82] The bindings on Offerman were untied, indicating he had apparently lunged at the attacker. Neighbors heard the gunshots, but failed to respond to them, attributing them to innocuous causes.[82] Paw prints from a large dog were found at the scene, leading to speculation that the killer may have brought it with him.[11]:446 There is evidence that he fed the dog some leftover Christmas turkey from the refrigerator.[citation needed] The killer also broke into the adjoining residence, to the west of the crime scene, which was vacant at the time, and stole a bicycle from a third residence in the same complex. The bicycle was later found abandoned on a street to the north of the crime scene.[27]

1980

  • On March 13, Charlene Smith, 33, and Lyman Smith, 43, who was about to be appointed as a Judge, were found murdered in their home in Ventura.[83] Charlene Smith had also been raped.[10] A log from the fireplace was used to bludgeon both the victims to death.[11]:440[84] Their wrists and ankles had been bound with a drapery cord.[10][11]:441 An unusual Chinese knot, known as the diamond knot, was used on their wrists.[11]:441 The same knot had been noted in the East Area Rapist attacks in Sacramento, with at least one confirmed case publicly known.[27]
  • On August 19, Keith Eli Harrington, 24, and Patrice Briscoe Harrington, 27, were found bludgeoned to death in their home on Cockleshell Drive in the Niguel Shores gated community in Dana Point.[85] Patrice Harrington had also been raped.[10][86] Although there was evidence that the Harringtons were bound at the wrist and ankles, no ligatures or murder weapon were found at the scene.[85] The Harringtons had been married for three months at the time of their deaths.[85] Patrice Harrington was a nurse in Irvine, while Keith Harrington was a medical student at the University of California, Irvine.[11][85] Keith Harrington's brother Bruce later spent nearly $2 million supporting California Proposition 69 (2004), which would allow for DNA collection from all felons and certain other criminals in California.[10][75]

1981

  • On February 6, Manuela Witthuhn, 28, was raped and murdered in her home in Irvine.[10][87] Again, while the body showed signs of being tied before being bludgeoned,[10] no ligatures, or murder weapon, were found at the scene. The victim was married, but her husband was recuperating from an illness in the hospital; thus she was alone at the time of the attack.[87] A lamp and crystal curio were removed from her house, presumably by the killer.[citation needed] Also, detectives remarked that Witthuhn's television was found in the backyard, which was possibly the killer's attempt to make it appear as a botched robbery.[11]
  • On July 27, Cheri Domingo, 35, and Gregory Sanchez, 27, became the 10th and 11th murder victims of the Original Night Stalker. Both were attacked in Domingo's house on Toltec Way in Goleta,[11]:444 several blocks south of the Offerman–Manning crime scene. Their murder has been linked to the Original Night Stalker by DNA left at the scene.[88] He is believed to have broken into the home in Goleta, which was up for sale at the time of the attack. Law enforcement believe the attacker may have worked as a painter or related role in the Calle Real Shopping Centre.[89][90][91]
It is unknown how the Golden State Killer selected Domingo and Sanchez as victims. Domingo's daughter Debbi (who was 15 at the time) was staying with friends on the night of the attack. Her son was out of state with other family members. The home in Goleta belonged to Domingo's family and she was staying there temporarily.[92] The offender had entered the property via a small window in the bathroom. Sanchez had not been tied.[11]:445 He had been shot in the cheek, although not fatally. He was then bludgeoned to death with a garden tool taken from the property. Some believe Sanchez may have realized he was dealing with the man responsible for the murder of Offerman and Manning, and made a desperate attempt to tackle the killer rather than be tied up. As in the Offerman–Manning case, no neighbors responded to the sound of the gunshot.[11]:445[92] Sanchez's head was covered with clothes pulled from the closet.[11]:444 Bruises on Domingo's wrists and ankles indicated she had been tied,[11]:445 although the restraints were missing. She had been raped and bludgeoned.[91] A single piece of shipping twine was found near the bed. Fibers of an unknown source were scattered over her body.[93]

1986

  • On May 4, Janelle Lisa Cruz, 18, was found bludgeoned to death in her Irvine home.[94] Her family was on vacation in Mexico at the time of the attack.[10][87] A pipe wrench was reported missing by Cruz's stepfather and was thought to be the probable murder weapon.[11]:458 She had also been raped.[15][81][95]
These murders in Southern California (Goleta, Ventura, Dana Point, and Irvine, California) were not initially thought to be connected by investigators in their respective jurisdictions. One Sacramento detective strongly believed the East Area Rapist was responsible for the Goleta attacks, but at first the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department attributed them to a local career criminal who had subsequently been murdered. Investigating the crimes that did not occur in Goleta caused local police to follow false leads related to men who had been close to the female victims. One suspect, later acknowledged to be innocent, was charged with two murders. Linking all of the cases together was achieved almost entirely by DNA testing, which was not done until many years later.[11]

Suspect profile

Known physical characteristics

The following physical characteristics are considered factual and indisputable,[citation needed] based on crime scene evidence as well as nearly universal agreement by victims and law enforcement:
  • White male
  • 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m) to 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) tall
  • Slender but athletic build
  • Size 9 to 9.5 shoe
  • Type-A blood
  • Non-secretor. The killer's sperm does not contain blood-group antigens.[96]
  • Physically agile and capable of sprinting, bicycling, and scaling fences with ease

Probable physical characteristics

The following physical characteristics are considered probable, but not necessarily factual. Only a small minority of victims described the perpetrator differently:
  • 18–25 years old when the rapes began in 1976
  • Blond or brown hair
  • Blue or light-colored eyes
  • Penis size frequently described as "small" or "smaller than average"
  • 60 to 75 years old in 2018.[clarification needed][51]

Potential psychological profile

After criminologists matched serological evidence found at the southern California murder scenes, a psychological profile of the Golden State Killer was compiled. As a psychological profile it is based on a probabilistic analysis, and its accuracy is speculative only. According to Leslie D'Ambrosia, who was the primary author of the profile, it is likely that the Golden State Killer would possess the following characteristics:[96]
  • White male
  • Dressed well and would not stand out in upscale neighborhoods
  • Drove a well-maintained car
  • Emotional age[clarification needed] of 26 to 30 at the time the murders began in 1979
  • Engaged in deviant paraphilic behavior and brutal sex in his personal life
  • Engaged in sex with prostitutes
  • Had a criminal record as a teenager that was expunged
  • Had some knowledge of police investigative methods and evidence-gathering techniques
  • Had some means of income, but did not work in the early morning hours
  • Hated women for real or perceived wrongs
  • If married, probably has a submissive spouse who tolerated his sexually deviant behavior
  • Intelligent and articulate
  • Likely began as a voyeur in his late teens or early twenties
  • Lived and/or worked near Ventura, California, in 1980
  • Neat and well-organized in his personal life
  • Peeped into the windows of many potential victims who were not attacked
  • Possibly unmarried and did not enter into long-term relationships
  • Self-assured and confident in his abilities
  • Sexually "functional" and capable of ejaculation with consenting and non-consenting partners
  • Was a skilled and experienced cat burglar and may have begun that way
  • Was in good physical condition
  • Would appear harmless
  • Would continue committing violent crimes until incapacitated by prison, death, or some other intervention
  • Would have been described by those who knew him as arrogant, domineering, manipulative, and a chronic liar
In addition to describing the characteristics of the Golden State Killer, the profile also speculates about their fate. According to the profile, the Golden State Killer could have been incarcerated following Janelle Cruz's murder or killed in the commission of a similar crime. (However, the last known contact with the Golden State Killer before he was arrested was in 2001 when he made a taunting phone call to one of his victims.) As to the latter point, the profile indicates that law enforcement agencies should look into attempted "hot prowl burglaries" in the late 1980s that resulted in the death of a lone male offender. The profile also indicates that there is a slight chance the Golden State Killer committed suicide; furthermore, it is speculated that it is unlikely that he is confined in a mental institution.[96]
The profile reveals that following the original homicides in this series, teleprinter bulletins were broadcast to law enforcement agencies throughout the United States. These bulletins requested information on similar home invasion attacks involving sexual assault, murder, bludgeoning, multiple victims, and/or bondage. As of 2015, no similar crimes have been reported in the United States. The profile propounds the possibility, however, that the Golden State Killer could have continued committing his crimes in another country where records were not consulted for linkage purposes.[96]
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department revealed that microscopic paint chips were discovered at three of the crime scenes,[97] two homicides and a rape. This suggests that the Golden State Killer may have worked in construction possibly using a paint spray gun.[98] At one murder site there was construction work taking place nearby. The police are working with the developer to identify subcontractors working at the site and obtaining employment records.[97]

Golden State Killer speaks

Letters and writings

"Excitement's Crave" poem (December 11, 1977)

In December 1977, letters were sent to the editor of the Sacramento Bee, the Sacramento mayor's office, and the KVIE 6 TV station titled "Excitement's Crave" written in poem form by an individual claiming to be the East Area Rapist.[11] It should be noted that December 11 is also the same date that a masked man, likely the Golden State Killer, eluded pursuit by multiple law enforcement personnel after he had apparently alerted authorities by telephone that he would strike on Watt Avenue that night.[99] Though the authenticity of his authorship of the poem has never been proven, it is entirely possible that his successful evasion of the police on that morning inspired him to write it.[citation needed]
'Excitement's Crave'
All those mortal's surviving birth / Upon facing maturity,
Take inventory of their worth / To prevailing society.
Choosing values becomes a task; / Oneself must seek satisfaction.
The selected route will unmask / Character when plans take action.
Accepting some work to perform / At fixed pay, but promise for more,
Is a recognized social norm, / As is decorum, seeking lore.
Achieving while others lifting / Should be cause for deserving fame.
Leisure tempts excitement seeking, / What's right and expected seems tame.
"Jessie James" has been seen by all, / And "Son of Sam" has an author.
Others now feel temptations call. / Sacramento should make an offer.
To make a movie of my life / That will pay for my planned exile.
Just now I' d like to add the wife / Of a Mafia lord to my file.
Your East Area Rapist
And deserving pest.
See you in the press or on T.V.[11]:p. 304

During the investigation of the 42nd attack in Danville investigators discovered three notebook leaves not far from the scene of the attack where a suspicious vehicle had reportedly been parked.[4]
  • The first leaf is what appears to be an essay on General George Armstrong Custer.[4]
  • The second leaf contains a journal style entry where the author writes about a school teacher who made them write lines, and how humiliating they found the experience to be:[4]
    Mad is the word that reminds me of 6th grade. I hated that year ... I wish I had know what was going to be going on during my 6th grade year, the last and worst years of elementary school. Mad is the word that remains in my head about my dreadful year as a 6th grader. My madness was one that was caused by disappointments that hurt me very much. Disappointments from my teacher such as field trips that were planned and then cancelled. My 6th grade teacher gave me a lot of disappointments that made me very mad and made me built a state of hatred in my heart, no one ever let me down that hard before and I never "hated anyone" as much as I did him. Disappointment wasn't the only reason that made me mad in my sixth grade class, another was getting in trouble at school especially talking thats what really bugged me was writing sentences, those awful sentence that my teacher made ... me write, hours and hours I'd sit and write 50-100-150 sentence day and night I write those dreadful paragraphs which embarrassed me and more important it made me ashamed of myself which in turn, deepdown inside made me realize that writing sentance wasn't fair, it wasn't fair to make me suffer like that, it just wasn't fair to make me sit and wright until my bones ached, until my hand felt ever horrid pain it ever had and as I wrote, I got mader and mader until I cried, I cried because I was ashamed I cried because I was discusted I cried because I was mad and I cried for myself, kid who kept on having to write those dame sentances. My angriness from sixth grade will scar my memory for life and I will be ashamed for my sixth grade year forever
  • The third leaf carries a hand-drawn map of what appears to be a suburban neighborhood.[90] Investigators were unable to identify the area depicted in the map, although it was clear that the artist also had some knowledge of architectural layout and landscape design.[100] Detective Larry Pool believes the map to be a fantasy location representing the Original Night Stalker's desired striking ground.[4]

Phone calls

"I'm the East Side Rapist" call (March 18, 1977)

On March 18, 1977, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office received three calls from a man claiming to be the EAR.[101] The first two calls, received at 4:15 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. were identical and ended with the caller laughing and hanging up. Neither was recorded. The caller said "I'm the East Side Rapist." The final call came in at 5:00 p.m. and was not recorded either. The caller said "I'm the East Side Rapist and I have my next victim already stalked and you guys can't catch me." The EAR then attacked his 15th victim on March 18, 1977.[citation needed]

"Never gonna catch me" call (December 2, 1977)

A man claiming to be the East Area Rapist called the Sacramento Police to taunt them. The call was recorded and later released.[19] The caller said "You're never gonna catch me, East Area Rapist you dumb fuckers I'm gonna fuck again tonight. Careful!"[citation needed]

"Merry Christmas" call (December 9, 1977)

A previous victim received a phone call during the Christmas season of 1977. The caller said "Merry Christmas, it's me again!" She identified the caller as the man who had previously attacked her.[11]:301

"Watt Avenue" call (December 10, 1977)

Shortly before 10:00 p.m. on the night of December 10, 1977, dispatchers from the County of Sacramento's Sheriff's Department and the City of Sacramento's Police Department received calls threatening an attack on Watt Avenue (The caller said "I am going to hit tonight. Watt Avenue."). The calls were apparently recorded, and the caller was subsequently identified as the same individual who had made a call to law enforcement on December 2, threatening to commit a rape later that night; a home invasion attributed to the Golden State Killer was in fact made several hours after that December 2 call but was aborted before a rape could occur. Law enforcement patrols were increased on the night of December 10 in response to the new round of calls.[11] Sure enough, at 2:30 a.m. December 11, sheriff's deputies spotted a masked man bicycling on the Watt Avenue bridge, but he was able to elude them. He was then located again at 4:30 a.m., this time by the city police. He discarded the bike and successfully fled on foot. The bicycle was quickly determined to have been stolen in Redding, California.[99] It is noteworthy that the "Excitement's Crave" poem is also linked with exactly the same date of this bike chase.[citation needed]

"Gonna Kill You" call (January 2, 1978)

The very first known rape victim received a "wrong number" call, asking for "Ray", on January 2, 1978. The call was recorded, and police suspect it may be the same caller who made a threatening call to her later that evening.[3] This call was also recorded and identified by the victim as being the voice of her assailant.[4][11] The caller said "Gonna kill you...gonna kill you...gonna kill you...bitch...bitch...bitch...bitch...fucking whore."[citation needed]

"Counseling Service" call (January 6, 1978)

A volunteer for the Contact Counseling Service answered a call from a man who claimed to be the East Area Rapist, saying ""I have a problem. I need help because I don't want to do this anymore." After a short interaction the caller said, "I believe you are tracing this call" and disconnected.[11]:310–315[102]

Later calls

In 1982, a previous victim who was working at a Denny's restaurant received a call at work from the rapist, during which he said he would rape her again. Contra Costa County District Attorney Paul Holes has stated that the rapist must have gone to the restaurant and recognized one of his victims working there.[103]
In 1991, a previous victim received a phone call from the perpetrator and spoke with him for one minute. She stated that she could hear a woman and children in the background, leading to suspicion that he had started a family.[2]
On April 6, 2001, one day after an article was published in the Sacramento Bee that confirmed the Original Night Stalker and the East Area Rapist are the same person, a victim of the East Area Rapist received a call from him where he asked if she "remembered when we played" before hanging up.[103]

Investigation


June 2016 nationwide billboard campaign to locate him
Prior to officially connecting the Original Night Stalker to the East Area Rapist in 2001, some law enforcement officials, particularly several from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, sought to link the Goleta cases separately to the East Area Rapist and the Original Night Stalker.[104][105] These postulated links were considered primarily due to similarity in modus operandi. One of the already linked Original Night Stalker double murders did take place in Ventura, California, 40 miles southeast of Goleta, while the remaining murders took place in Orange County, California, a further 90 miles to the southeast. In 2001, several rapes in Contra Costa County believed to have been part of the East Area Rapist series were linked by DNA to the Smith, Harrington, Whithuhn, and Cruz murders. In 2011, DNA evidence proved that the Domingo–Sanchez murders were committed by the Original Night Stalker.[11][106]
On June 15, 2016, the FBI released further information in relation to the crimes including new composite sketches, along with testimonies from victims and local/federal investigators.[71] A press conference was held this same day in Sacramento, where local and FBI law enforcement agencies announced a US$50,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the East Area Rapist.[107] The initiative includes a national database to support law enforcement investigating the crimes and to handle tips and information.[108]

Suspects eliminated

Throughout the course of the investigation into the Golden State Killer murders, the following persons were eliminated as suspects:
  • Brett Glasby – From Goleta, California, considered a suspect by investigators in Santa Barbara County. He was murdered in Mexico in 1982, prior to the murder of Janelle Cruz, so was eliminated as a suspect.[109]
  • Paul "Cornfed" Schneider – A high-ranking member of the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang. Schneider was a career criminal living in Orange County, California, when the murders of the Harringtons, Manuela Witthuhn, and Janelle Cruz occurred. In the late 1990s, while serving time at Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City, California, Schneider provided a DNA sample to authorities.[110] This sample cleared him as the Golden State Killer.[111]
  • Joe Alsip – A business partner of the victim Lyman Smith. Alsip was a friend of the Smiths and visited their home on High Point Drive in Ventura the day before the murders. Alsip's pastor claimed that he had confessed to him, during a family counseling session, but this confession was considered dubious by the Ventura County District Attorney's Office. Nevertheless, Alsip was arraigned for the murders of Lyman and Charlene Smith in 1982. After the preliminary hearing, however, all charges against him were dropped.[112] He was also tested in 1997 for DNA and was cleared.[113]
In November 2002, journalist Colleen Cason wrote a newspaper series about the Golden State Killer murders for the Ventura County Star. According to Cason's articles, Detective Larry Pool of the Orange County Sheriff's Department visited California's Death Row at San Quentin State Prison in an attempt to locate the Golden State Killer. Detective Pool suspected that the Golden State Killer had been captured and sentenced to death for some other violent crime. Nevertheless, none of the genetic samples collected from Death Row inmates at San Quentin matched the DNA of the Golden State Killer.[111]

Joseph DeAngelo arrest

Joseph James DeAngelo's mugshot, 2018
On April 24, 2018, Sacramento Police arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo (born November 8, 1945). DeAngelo, a former police officer in Auburn and Exeter,[114] was charged with six counts of first-degree murder.[7][115][116] Authorities in Sacramento, Orange, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties are preparing charges against DeAngelo for all twelve of the murders in the Golden State Killer case.[117]

Significance

The case was a factor in the establishment of California's DNA database, which collects DNA from all accused and convicted felons in California[118] and has been called second only to Virginia's in effectiveness in solving cold cases.[119]
