1
00:00:04,110 --> 00:00:06,990
You're watching HLN On Demand.
2
00:00:24,430 --> 00:00:26,470
Joe was so friendly with everybody.
3
00:00:26,770 --> 00:00:28,850
He was always smiling, always laughing.
4
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:30,950
He was a hard worker.
5
00:00:31,310 --> 00:00:32,610
And he was smart.
6
00:00:34,090 --> 00:00:36,690
His wife's name was Sharon, and we
called her Sherry.
7
00:00:37,290 --> 00:00:39,090
They were very proud parents.
8
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:42,230
He took good care of his daughters.
9
00:00:43,230 --> 00:00:44,750
Family was everything to him.
10
00:00:45,650 --> 00:00:47,870
But Joe went off the deep end.
11
00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:52,390
And if you want to see the devil at
work, here's a good example.
12
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:17,480
Welcome to Very Scary People.
13
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:18,880
I'm Donnie Wahlberg.
14
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,880
He terrorized California for more than
40 years. A super predator who stalked
15
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,120
women in a blind rage.
16
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,280
He appeared out of the darkness to
torture and kill, then vanished into the
17
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,160
night. He cornered his victims in their
homes, viciously attacked couples asleep
18
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,460
in their beds, all to see the terror in
their eyes.
19
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,820
The serial rapist and murderer.
20
00:01:42,380 --> 00:01:45,480
seemed to always be one step ahead of
police detectives.
21
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,580
But he left critical evidence behind at
the crime scenes, and investigators were
22
00:01:50,580 --> 00:01:51,940
beginning to connect the dots.
23
00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:55,760
This is part two of The Golden State
Killer.
24
00:02:09,870 --> 00:02:12,970
Back in the 70s, a new offender popped
up.
25
00:02:13,250 --> 00:02:16,470
The East Area Rapist was hitting in the
Sacramento area.
26
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:19,450
He's fearless. He's callous.
27
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:24,550
He's cold -blooded. We need to do
everything we can to stop him. Who was
28
00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:31,470
guy? A very dangerous offender who's
motivated by real or imagined wrongs
29
00:02:31,470 --> 00:02:32,730
that he has suffered.
30
00:02:37,710 --> 00:02:40,170
In 1976, I was 30 years old.
31
00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:44,970
I was happily married, had a three -year
-old son.
32
00:02:46,270 --> 00:02:51,670
Early morning, 6 .30 a .m., Jane is home
with her son. Her husband had just left
33
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:52,670
for work.
34
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:58,310
My little three -year -old had just
climbed in bed with me for a nice
35
00:02:59,050 --> 00:03:03,590
Minutes later, she hears somebody
running down the hall towards her
36
00:03:04,670 --> 00:03:07,370
Next thing she knows, she's looking at a
masked man.
37
00:03:08,150 --> 00:03:09,690
And he's shining the flashlight.
38
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:11,410
Holding a big knife.
39
00:03:12,130 --> 00:03:16,630
She can hear him ripping up fabric even
after she's been gagged and blindfolded.
40
00:03:16,850 --> 00:03:20,710
I'm thinking, oh my God, is he going to
hang us? That was so scary.
41
00:03:21,710 --> 00:03:25,350
This man ends up taking her son away
from her.
42
00:03:26,510 --> 00:03:28,010
Then he untied my ankle.
43
00:03:28,270 --> 00:03:30,850
And then I knew what he was there for.
44
00:03:32,930 --> 00:03:39,770
After that, He kept going from the
bedroom, telling us that if we moved, he
45
00:03:39,770 --> 00:03:40,749
would kill us.
46
00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:42,430
And then he'd go back in the kitchen.
47
00:03:42,850 --> 00:03:45,210
He would actually stay in the house for
hours.
48
00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:49,270
Not only does he possess the victims, he
possesses their belongings. He
49
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:50,470
possesses their house.
50
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:54,410
Eventually, her son was placed back into
bed next to her.
51
00:03:55,010 --> 00:04:00,030
After we thought he was gone, I was able
to take my mask down.
52
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,740
We had five cases that all had the same
method of operation.
53
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,200
Always confronting the victims in bed,
shining a flashlight in their eyes.
54
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,480
He had a ski mask on. He always had a
weapon.
55
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:21,100
He would turn the TV on and put the
towel over it. I believe in part he's
56
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:27,040
that so he can see the woman, but he can
also see the terror in her face.
57
00:04:27,340 --> 00:04:29,180
It's a psychological torture.
58
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,280
We've got to see her rapist.
59
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,060
And this is a bad guy.
60
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,720
He was the boogeyman of the community.
He was like a ghost.
61
00:04:39,860 --> 00:04:46,200
The victims were very consistent in
describing a white male, somewhere
62
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:52,020
'8 to 5 '10, reasonably athletic build,
160 to 180 pounds.
63
00:04:52,580 --> 00:04:55,540
We knew he had a size 9 foot from the
footprint.
64
00:04:56,060 --> 00:04:59,860
We got all sorts of eye color, blue,
green, brown.
65
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:04,100
We didn't have that much to go on.
66
00:05:04,580 --> 00:05:09,700
The problem is no one knows where or
when he'll strike again. We know he went
67
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:10,700
to commit murder.
68
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:17,100
His final murder and rape occurred in
May of 1986 with Janelle Cruz in Orange
69
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:18,100
County.
70
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:26,500
Janelle Cruz, my older sister by one
year, she was 18 and I was 17.
71
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:29,380
She was like Marilyn Monroe.
72
00:05:30,570 --> 00:05:35,510
Janelle Cruz was this gorgeous 18 -year
-old girl that happened to be home
73
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:36,510
alone.
74
00:05:36,910 --> 00:05:40,930
This guy just sees Janelle and decides,
I'm going to make her a victim.
75
00:05:44,090 --> 00:05:47,490
She had a friend, a male friend, over to
the house.
76
00:05:47,770 --> 00:05:49,050
They were listening to music.
77
00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:50,630
They did hear noises.
78
00:05:51,610 --> 00:05:53,990
Janelle said, it must have been a cat.
79
00:05:54,510 --> 00:05:58,810
So they closed the shutters and
continued listening to music.
80
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,020
He ends up getting into her house
through a sliding door at the rear of
81
00:06:05,020 --> 00:06:06,020
house.
82
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:13,920
About 11 .15 in the evening, the young
man decided, it's getting late, I better
83
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:20,580
leave. Shortly after that, the offender
entered the home and attacked Janelle.
84
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:27,140
Hours later, the body of Janelle Cruz
was found in her bedroom.
85
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:34,860
She had received blows to her head.
She's the one bludgeoning victim where
86
00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:37,360
offender hit her in the face.
87
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,500
He had bludgeoned her in the forehead,
across the bridge of her nose.
88
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,600
What has caused that level of anger, or
has it actually been elevated to hatred?
89
00:06:47,980 --> 00:06:50,440
Because hatred and anger are not the
same emotions.
90
00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:55,100
There was so much fear in the community.
91
00:06:55,460 --> 00:06:57,720
I was pulled to help do community
meetings.
92
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,600
One of the big questions that was asked
here last night, if we have a gun, could
93
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,600
we shoot him?
94
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:07,940
Knowing what I know about this man, if I
had a gun, I definitely would shoot
95
00:07:07,940 --> 00:07:12,860
him. What I told them was, if you're
going to shoot, shoot to kill, because
96
00:07:12,860 --> 00:07:14,800
was the only way this man was going to
be stopped.
97
00:07:17,340 --> 00:07:22,240
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office
is holding town hall meetings in the
98
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,940
neighborhoods where attacks were
occurring.
99
00:07:25,290 --> 00:07:28,630
I think the East Area Rapist was at one
of the meetings.
100
00:07:29,570 --> 00:07:34,430
Police believe he came hunting for
victims and targeted a man who spoke up
101
00:07:34,430 --> 00:07:35,409
during the meeting.
102
00:07:35,410 --> 00:07:37,730
This was another challenge for him.
103
00:07:38,410 --> 00:07:42,770
The gentleman stood up and he said, I
don't understand how a man in the home
104
00:07:42,770 --> 00:07:44,490
wouldn't be able to defend his wife.
105
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:51,890
Now he was going to prove to everybody
that he was the one in charge.
106
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,540
And his next attack was with a man in
the house.
107
00:07:55,980 --> 00:08:00,460
Soon after the town hall meeting, that
man and his wife became victims.
108
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,360
There were five people in the home at
the time that they were attacked.
109
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:18,800
The rapist was so quiet and so slick in
the darkness of the room.
110
00:08:20,970 --> 00:08:26,530
shining a flashlight and showing that he
had a gun and throwing shoestrings to
111
00:08:26,530 --> 00:08:31,890
the woman and telling her to tie up her
husband, having him turn over on his
112
00:08:31,890 --> 00:08:35,950
stomach and tying his hands behind his
back and then tying the victim up.
113
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:43,470
The fear of that gun being pointed at
you, that beam of light and seeing
114
00:08:43,470 --> 00:08:48,490
the shadow of face mask, it was do it or
I'm going to kill you. It's like
115
00:08:48,490 --> 00:08:49,490
playing cat and mouse.
116
00:08:50,510 --> 00:08:54,150
This is dominant, and there's nothing we
can do about it.
117
00:08:54,370 --> 00:08:56,030
My heart really goes out to them.
118
00:08:57,530 --> 00:09:01,230
And then, in 1986, they just sort of
disappeared.
119
00:09:01,530 --> 00:09:03,330
Stop murdering, stop raping.
120
00:09:05,090 --> 00:09:11,770
It's very emotionally taxing to go year
after year of year of putting so much
121
00:09:11,770 --> 00:09:13,790
effort into it and not solving.
122
00:09:14,090 --> 00:09:17,650
And then all of a sudden, Paul calls me
up and says, hey, I got this idea.
123
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,500
The Golden State Killer was intelligent.
124
00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:29,740
He was sophisticated.
125
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,840
We have a phrase that we use in the FBI.
It's called the mask of sanity.
126
00:09:34,260 --> 00:09:40,460
The reason this violent offender is able
to not be captured is because they live
127
00:09:40,460 --> 00:09:42,900
such a normal life, at least on the
surface.
128
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,560
You have the wife and the children and
live in a nice house.
129
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,620
Somebody that I thought was going to be
reasonably successful, have a career.
130
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,440
Blend in with society.
131
00:09:54,440 --> 00:10:00,320
A serial sexual killer would not want
someone to see their traits, that they
132
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,160
could be sexually aroused by kidnapping
someone or murdering someone.
133
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:10,860
Because they don't want to be caught.
They want to be able to continue to
134
00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:12,040
maintain that secret life.
135
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,740
Investigators wondered where the Golden
State Killer was hiding.
136
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,640
and Joseph DeAngelo was waging a
lifelong battle between doing what was
137
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,840
and his secret wild urges.
138
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,100
Joe's house was directly behind ours.
139
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:37,280
My family kind of referred to him as Mr.
Mom because back in the 80s, Joe had
140
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,960
raised his three daughters.
141
00:10:42,380 --> 00:10:47,420
In 73, he became a law enforcement
officer in Exeter.
142
00:10:47,930 --> 00:10:49,250
in Tulare County, California.
143
00:10:50,170 --> 00:10:56,050
He rose to sergeant in Exeter. And in
1976, Mr. D 'Angelo
144
00:10:56,050 --> 00:11:01,370
relocated to another Sacramento area
police agency, the Auburn Police
145
00:11:01,370 --> 00:11:07,570
Department. And when he's in Auburn, he
begins not only as a patrolman, but he's
146
00:11:07,570 --> 00:11:10,830
working split shifts. He's doing relief
when people are on vacation.
147
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,620
The Golden State Killer investigation
had been a cold case for decades.
148
00:11:17,980 --> 00:11:24,320
But in 2018, the task force got a big
break that might just finally crack the
149
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,320
case.
150
00:11:25,420 --> 00:11:27,520
Paul calls me up and says, hey, I got
this idea.
151
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:29,800
Investigative genetic genealogy.
152
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,740
Another revolution with DNA.
153
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,380
It is the greatest hope we had in
solving this case.
154
00:11:34,660 --> 00:11:38,600
People upload their genetic profiles
into publicly accessible websites.
155
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:42,300
GEDmatch. Ancestry .com.
156
00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:48,720
23andMe. Millions of people have
submitted their DNA to genealogy
157
00:11:48,980 --> 00:11:53,920
So they can determine if they have half
cousins or siblings that they didn't
158
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,579
know about.
159
00:11:54,580 --> 00:12:00,820
The goal was to determine if there was a
distant relative of the Golden State
160
00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:03,240
Killer on the genealogy website.
161
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:10,480
I just uploaded that Golden State Killer
DNA profile into GEDmatch. A match
162
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,440
report comes back with relatives of the
Golden State Killer.
163
00:12:14,660 --> 00:12:19,500
Somebody within this pool of descendants
that could potentially be your killer.
164
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,160
We were able to develop family trees,
find common ancestors who were born back
165
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,440
in the 1840s.
166
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,140
Let's say a great -great -grandparent.
167
00:12:31,690 --> 00:12:36,370
You've got to understand, the people
born in the 1840s would have 15 kids,
168
00:12:36,370 --> 00:12:39,910
you have to identify all those children,
and you have to identify all their
169
00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:46,810
kids. In total, we probably had 10 ,000
entries or more across all these
170
00:12:46,810 --> 00:12:47,810
trees.
171
00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:53,630
Somewhere on this massive family tree is
your suspect, is the killer.
172
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,620
Mr. D 'Angelo has a relationship with a
girl that he meets in college,
173
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:09,700
Bonnie.
174
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,980
He seems fascinated by Bonnie.
175
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:17,360
She's a brilliant young student. She
tutors him in some of his classes.
176
00:13:18,020 --> 00:13:20,580
Eventually we began dating each other.
177
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,600
I saw Joe as a happy, engaged, fun
-loving guy.
178
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,260
He was accepted into and just kind of
inserted himself into her family.
179
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,560
I have five brothers and sisters.
180
00:13:35,060 --> 00:13:38,940
Joe was very much interested in being
included.
181
00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:43,940
A year after they meet, Joe proposes to
Bonnie.
182
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,540
Nothing down on the knee, nothing like
that.
183
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,640
I think it was more like ownership.
184
00:13:51,340 --> 00:13:52,500
We're going to marry.
185
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,960
I belong to him.
186
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,280
And then one year after he proposed,
Bonnie gets fed up with Joe.
187
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,460
He's doing things purposely to scare
her.
188
00:14:02,740 --> 00:14:05,480
She can tell he's excited by her fear.
189
00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:10,340
Later, they're taking a class together
at Normal Psychology, and he's
190
00:14:10,340 --> 00:14:13,480
struggling. He basically demands that
she help him cheat.
191
00:14:14,460 --> 00:14:16,280
Ethically, she doesn't want anything to
do with it.
192
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,420
My father was a high school principal.
My mother had been a teacher.
193
00:14:21,140 --> 00:14:22,340
I was just done.
194
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,840
And that's when Job repeats over and
over, you will do this, you will do
195
00:14:28,860 --> 00:14:32,300
And Bonnie... stands up for herself with
Joe.
196
00:14:33,020 --> 00:14:37,140
You are not the man I'm going to marry.
We are not going to have a future
197
00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:38,140
together.
198
00:14:38,380 --> 00:14:40,240
She's not very happy about that.
199
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,820
And then a knock on the window as she
opens up the curtain.
200
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Joe was outside the window pointing a
gun at me and telling me to get dressed.
201
00:14:50,980 --> 00:14:54,860
We were going to Reno, that we were
going to be married that night.
202
00:14:55,980 --> 00:14:57,420
She goes and gets her father.
203
00:14:57,620 --> 00:15:01,220
And he went out and talked to Joe for
almost two hours.
204
00:15:02,060 --> 00:15:06,620
He just told me that Joe was gone and I
could go back to bed. And never did he
205
00:15:06,620 --> 00:15:11,220
ever tell me what they talked about, if
they had any kind of an agreement.
206
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:15,400
And that's literally the last
interaction that she had with the
207
00:15:28,340 --> 00:15:33,020
Investigators analyzing the genetic
genealogy family trees were dramatically
208
00:15:33,020 --> 00:15:36,740
narrowing their search for the suspected
Golden State Killer.
209
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,640
And trying to just one by one eliminate
subjects. Some people could be ruled out
210
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,620
easily. Some people might be dead. Some
people are female.
211
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:51,080
And that's where we start narrowing in
on males that potentially have a
212
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,400
connection to California during the
years in which the Golden State Killer
213
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,400
active.
214
00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:57,540
Names were popping up at different
times.
215
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,200
Then suddenly, the universe of family
members narrowed to one man.
216
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,940
There was a guy that popped up. This
could very well be the guy.
217
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:10,480
The person was Joseph James D 'Angelo.
218
00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:14,960
Let's see what kind of headway I can
make on this D 'Angelo.
219
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:23,940
I saw a newspaper article about D
'Angelo having been engaged to a Bonnie.
220
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,160
I was like, well.
221
00:16:25,180 --> 00:16:26,240
That's interesting.
222
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:32,260
Interesting because Bonnie was the name
the Golden State killer had shouted out
223
00:16:32,260 --> 00:16:35,560
in front of one of his victims in a 1978
attack.
224
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:41,000
There are several instances in the East
Area Rapist phase in which the victims
225
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,020
report they'd hear him sobbing.
226
00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:47,340
He's crying while he's sexually
assaulting her. This is where he's
227
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,620
statement, I hate you, Bonnie. I hate
you, Bonnie.
228
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,060
And that had always been a mystery to
investigators.
229
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:59,200
But now they learn Bonnie was the Joseph
D 'Angelo romance that ended in a
230
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,980
disturbing broken engagement.
231
00:17:02,260 --> 00:17:05,900
Maybe he still had some very deep
-seated fury.
232
00:17:07,540 --> 00:17:13,300
Detectives were able to learn that he
was a former police officer and that fit
233
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:16,339
in with the profile and some of the
early theories of the case.
234
00:17:16,740 --> 00:17:20,740
We really felt that it could have been
somebody in either law enforcement or
235
00:17:20,740 --> 00:17:21,740
military.
236
00:17:22,170 --> 00:17:25,710
Detectives felt that way because of his
M .O. at all the crime scenes.
237
00:17:26,609 --> 00:17:30,490
It's based off little things, things
that he would say as far as putting
238
00:17:30,490 --> 00:17:34,070
hands behind their back, not leaving
fingerprints anywhere.
239
00:17:34,610 --> 00:17:37,570
He always had an escape route planned.
240
00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:41,490
And I think a lot of times that is
military and law enforcement training.
241
00:17:44,430 --> 00:17:49,790
The geography and the timeline of the
attack coincided with the events in
242
00:17:49,790 --> 00:17:50,810
DeAngelo's life.
243
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,920
The Visalia ransackings were happening
at the same time that D 'Angelo was on
244
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,840
the Exeter police force, just 10 miles
away from Visalia.
245
00:18:00,340 --> 00:18:06,920
In Exeter, he was in charge of the
burglary program that was investigating
246
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,860
Visalia ransacking cases.
247
00:18:09,140 --> 00:18:11,680
He could control those investigations.
248
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,160
As D 'Angelo was in training for the
Auburn Police Department, he began the
249
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,320
Area rape attacks.
250
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,940
I'm going, God, this is awfully
coincidental, right?
251
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:30,700
Then detectives placed Joseph DeAngelo
down in Southern California during the
252
00:18:30,700 --> 00:18:32,080
Golden State killer murders.
253
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,060
He and his wife Sharon had moved to L
.A.
254
00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:39,800
Sharon gets a job with the National
Labor Relations Board in Los Angeles.
255
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,980
That's when it was like, you know what?
This DeAngelo guy is adding up.
256
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,620
We need to get his DNA.
257
00:18:47,290 --> 00:18:52,630
The law requires us to confirm that
Joseph D 'Angelo was in fact the person
258
00:18:52,630 --> 00:18:54,490
left the DNA behind in all these crime
scenes.
259
00:18:54,970 --> 00:18:57,270
We had him on surveillance for several
days.
260
00:18:59,170 --> 00:19:03,370
At that point, the decision was made
that a trash day was coming up in his
261
00:19:03,370 --> 00:19:07,230
neighborhood. We ended up picking up his
garbage from the street.
262
00:19:07,470 --> 00:19:08,930
The sample was collected.
263
00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:11,310
The discarded tissue that he had used.
264
00:19:12,530 --> 00:19:14,790
My phone lights up and the lab says
they're excited.
265
00:19:15,340 --> 00:19:19,220
They were able to get an absolute
positive identification between the
266
00:19:19,220 --> 00:19:21,240
and Joseph DeAngelo.
267
00:19:21,900 --> 00:19:23,200
They were one and the same.
268
00:19:24,060 --> 00:19:27,160
It's him. There's no question about it.
That's the plan. Done.
269
00:19:28,580 --> 00:19:30,640
Okay. We've got our person.
270
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:31,900
What next?
271
00:19:46,410 --> 00:19:49,590
Welcome back to Very Scary People. I'm
Donnie Wahlberg.
272
00:19:50,050 --> 00:19:55,250
After more than 40 years, advancements
in genetic technology have caught up
273
00:19:55,250 --> 00:19:58,430
the elusive predator police called the
Golden State Killer.
274
00:19:58,970 --> 00:20:02,790
Now they know his real name, Joseph
James D 'Angelo.
275
00:20:03,150 --> 00:20:09,250
Before they close in, they watch his
every move, and the phantom of darkness
276
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:11,150
about to be dragged into the light.
277
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,460
Joseph DeAngelo starts killing whenever
he feels that he's under threat. And a
278
00:20:19,460 --> 00:20:24,860
different side of him comes out,
something very cold, calculating and
279
00:20:24,860 --> 00:20:26,960
determined, and cannot be swayed.
280
00:20:27,820 --> 00:20:32,660
You have somebody that's a serial
killer, clearly, who's gotten away with
281
00:20:32,660 --> 00:20:36,440
40 -plus years, but then you have the
added fact that he's a former police
282
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,440
officer.
283
00:20:37,740 --> 00:20:39,440
We did not want to...
284
00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:41,510
go into his house to make an arrest.
285
00:20:41,770 --> 00:20:46,930
We did not want to let him get into any
place where he might have secreted a
286
00:20:46,930 --> 00:20:50,590
weapon or be able to execute some plan
that we may not be aware of.
287
00:20:50,910 --> 00:20:54,470
There was a concern about his oldest
daughter was living with him.
288
00:20:55,010 --> 00:20:56,750
We don't want a Hoffman situation.
289
00:20:57,550 --> 00:21:03,490
I've had so many cases where the
offender, if he thought he was going to
290
00:21:03,490 --> 00:21:08,470
caught, says that if he had to kill his
wife or his children, he would do that.
291
00:21:10,030 --> 00:21:11,630
We knew we wanted to catch him by
surprise.
292
00:21:12,090 --> 00:21:18,730
On the day of his arrest, a number of
sheriff's detectives were in a minivan
293
00:21:18,730 --> 00:21:22,370
getting ready to arrest him. Joseph D
'Angelo was outside in front of his
294
00:21:22,510 --> 00:21:28,910
At that point, the sheriff's detective
stepped out and pretended to ask for
295
00:21:28,910 --> 00:21:29,910
directions.
296
00:21:30,510 --> 00:21:32,790
I'm back at the homicide station.
297
00:21:33,150 --> 00:21:36,110
We're listening over a radio, and then
it goes silent.
298
00:21:38,380 --> 00:21:43,100
So now it's pins and needles because
here's a guy that is a serial killer.
299
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:45,000
Does he have a gun on him?
300
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:52,820
Before Joseph DeAngelo knew it, he was
in handcuffs in a
301
00:21:52,820 --> 00:21:58,780
minivan under arrest for the series of
murders and rapes he committed
302
00:21:58,780 --> 00:21:59,780
California.
303
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,440
We went exactly as we hoped and
expected, but we were ready for
304
00:22:06,540 --> 00:22:07,540
The next.
305
00:22:07,900 --> 00:22:10,960
that came over the radio as subject in
custody.
306
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,460
Then it was just, everybody is jumping
out of their chairs. This is good.
307
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:29,520
D 'Angelo's brought in by the team. He's
placed in the interview room, and he
308
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:35,520
goes catatonic. He literally is sitting
like this for an hour without twitching
309
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,520
a muscle.
310
00:22:37,250 --> 00:22:41,410
One of the female detectives is going,
that's what he was doing in the victim's
311
00:22:41,410 --> 00:22:42,950
backyards while he was watching them.
312
00:22:43,250 --> 00:22:47,930
He would go absolutely motionless in the
shadows and just wait until the time
313
00:22:47,930 --> 00:22:48,930
was right for him to attack.
314
00:22:51,150 --> 00:22:52,390
It's 11 .30 at night.
315
00:22:53,030 --> 00:22:58,690
I walk into the room where D 'Angelo is
being held, and it's about 10 degrees
316
00:22:58,690 --> 00:22:59,950
colder in that room.
317
00:23:00,390 --> 00:23:02,910
There's an immediate sense of evil in
there.
318
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:05,410
I've never felt like that before.
319
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:13,660
So now I'm sitting across from D
'Angelo. I noticed he was a big guy, 215
320
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:16,160
at a rest. His hands were like bear
paws.
321
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,320
He actually had broad shoulders and
seemed naturally strong.
322
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:26,080
He could one arm reach over and knock
you to the ground kind of guy.
323
00:23:26,580 --> 00:23:29,720
And that shocked me because of his age.
324
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:34,600
The way I talk to people is to try to
humanize.
325
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:40,900
myself and the person I'm talking to say
things like, there is never too late of
326
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:44,120
a time to make anything better.
327
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,980
I was coming up with questions and
trying to pull him out.
328
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,860
His eyes were going very fast, like he
was trying to outthink me.
329
00:23:52,140 --> 00:23:58,980
I absolutely could feel a little bit of
the terror the victim
330
00:23:58,980 --> 00:24:00,580
must have gone through with this guy.
331
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,640
I kept on looking down to make sure he
was cuffed to the floor.
332
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,840
I'm feeling the evilness protruding from
him.
333
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,460
I try to appeal more to, would your
daughters feel better about you knowing
334
00:24:12,460 --> 00:24:13,460
you helped the investigation?
335
00:24:14,780 --> 00:24:19,120
A couple of agents were talking to his
daughters out in the lobby, kind of
336
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:23,540
explaining what was going on. I did see
them. They were distraught. They were
337
00:24:23,540 --> 00:24:28,780
crying. It would be as if your parents,
that you thought you knew all your life,
338
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:32,480
that you were told today that your dad's
a serial killer.
339
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,260
And their heartbreak is so obvious.
340
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,440
They're wailing, and his face crumples.
341
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:48,160
You can see the pain in his face, and
his voice goes very soft. To the second
342
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,180
daughter, he says, go away, go away.
343
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:56,020
And she leaves the room, and they close
the door, and he's whispering to
344
00:24:56,020 --> 00:24:58,080
himself, goodbye, goodbye.
345
00:25:00,490 --> 00:25:05,010
He'd been offered water, Dr. Pepper,
anything to eat or drink that he wanted,
346
00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:06,710
and he'd been declining all of it.
347
00:25:07,330 --> 00:25:10,070
And we realized he thinks we're trying
to get his DNA.
348
00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:13,090
Oh, so sad. He doesn't know we already
have it.
349
00:25:27,130 --> 00:25:30,050
One of the most notorious rapists.
350
00:25:30,350 --> 00:25:34,510
Serial killers in California history was
caught, and I happened to live next to
351
00:25:34,510 --> 00:25:36,210
them for almost 40 years.
352
00:25:37,490 --> 00:25:44,050
The morning Joe was arrested, there's
police tape on Joe's front yard, and
353
00:25:44,050 --> 00:25:45,530
there's sheriffs everywhere.
354
00:25:47,490 --> 00:25:52,430
After so many years, I had this vision
of what this guy would look like, how he
355
00:25:52,430 --> 00:25:56,790
was living. I considered reaching out to
Sherrod, but it was like they have kids
356
00:25:56,790 --> 00:26:03,540
together. She potentially still has
allegiance to him, and I opted not to
357
00:26:03,540 --> 00:26:04,540
to her.
358
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:10,440
D 'Angelo's property was immaculate,
beautifully painted, but the inside was
359
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,440
different story, what I would call a
semi -organized mess.
360
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:20,180
But things did stand out. The big thing
that I saw going into his bedroom was
361
00:26:20,180 --> 00:26:23,380
his computer, and then draped over the
monitor was a towel.
362
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,220
One of the things that the East Area
Rapist would do is when he separated the
363
00:26:28,220 --> 00:26:31,500
women out and got to where he was going
to sexually assault them, he would
364
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:34,980
frequently put a towel over the TV to
get that soft glow.
365
00:26:35,420 --> 00:26:38,760
That to me was like, oh, East Area
Rapist right there.
366
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:46,100
He's replicating what he was doing when
he's attacking his female victims.
367
00:26:46,580 --> 00:26:49,640
He's still fantasizing to this day.
368
00:26:54,570 --> 00:26:59,050
We fully expected to find something that
tied him to the victims.
369
00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:03,030
The search we did was just exhaustive.
370
00:27:03,630 --> 00:27:08,150
At one point, there was a couple agents
that were standing in the backyard, and
371
00:27:08,150 --> 00:27:11,610
they called up to me and they said, hey,
you ever see him digging around here?
372
00:27:12,230 --> 00:27:17,550
Serial sex offenders often keep
trophies, things that remind them of
373
00:27:17,550 --> 00:27:21,570
crimes so that they can relive those
crimes over and over again.
374
00:27:22,220 --> 00:27:26,040
He took the female victim's driver's
licenses, has their picture, has their
375
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,900
address, select items of jewelry as
souvenirs.
376
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:31,820
The next day they started probing that
hillside.
377
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,800
They were using some kind of machine to
look for stuff buried.
378
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,940
That looked like a gopher had gone
through his entire yard because there
379
00:27:41,940 --> 00:27:44,040
hole about every couple feet.
380
00:27:44,980 --> 00:27:50,120
We didn't want to leave any stone
unturned. The backyard was dug up. The
381
00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:51,120
was searched.
382
00:27:51,230 --> 00:27:53,610
The walls were even torn open by police.
383
00:27:54,150 --> 00:27:58,890
We also wanted to make sure there was
nothing that we weren't expecting, like
384
00:27:58,890 --> 00:28:00,050
other homicide victims.
385
00:28:01,470 --> 00:28:02,750
They found nothing.
386
00:28:03,310 --> 00:28:08,110
It's impossible to know what happened to
his treasure trove.
387
00:28:08,650 --> 00:28:14,350
Not only did he seemingly stop
committing these crimes, but he got rid
388
00:28:14,350 --> 00:28:19,390
everything that even reminded him of
those crimes with serial murderers,
389
00:28:19,390 --> 00:28:24,940
serial... sex offenders, it is a
compulsion that they either can't or
390
00:28:24,940 --> 00:28:29,860
overcome. And so him getting rid of
those reminders of those crimes is very
391
00:28:29,860 --> 00:28:30,860
unusual.
392
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,220
What was he doing for those 30 years
that was substituting for his committing
393
00:28:37,220 --> 00:28:38,600
sexual assault and rape?
394
00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:49,060
Making the phone call.
395
00:28:49,530 --> 00:28:53,470
certainly could have been a way that he
could satisfy some of the urges.
396
00:28:55,150 --> 00:28:59,670
When you think about the things that he
did, you look at Ted Bundy or whoever,
397
00:28:59,950 --> 00:29:05,270
look at all of them. They were once
somebody's new baby, somebody's loved
398
00:29:05,270 --> 00:29:10,530
child. They were not monsters all their
life. Something happened and they
399
00:29:10,530 --> 00:29:11,530
snapped.
400
00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:16,990
I've always wondered what created the
monster.
401
00:29:18,250 --> 00:29:22,310
I would look much more deeply into what
was going on when he was a young boy
402
00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:24,090
developing his sexuality.
403
00:29:28,930 --> 00:29:31,810
We moved out here in Sacramento in 55.
404
00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:37,230
Maybe we'd been there a year or so when
Joe's family moved in next door.
405
00:29:37,810 --> 00:29:39,050
Joseph D 'Angelo Sr.
406
00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:45,830
and his wife Kathleen, two daughters,
Rebecca and Constance, and two sons,
407
00:29:45,830 --> 00:29:46,910
and Joseph Jr.
408
00:29:49,420 --> 00:29:52,780
Joe D 'Angelo's father was in the Air
Force.
409
00:29:54,220 --> 00:29:56,580
And his mother was a waitress.
410
00:29:57,660 --> 00:30:00,780
Joe was 13 when we met. We became good
friends.
411
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,980
Joe was a typical teenager. He hung
around with my brothers all the time.
412
00:30:05,340 --> 00:30:09,700
And the boys would go out and target
practice and shoot rabbits.
413
00:30:11,620 --> 00:30:18,160
But he was a bit edgy as a juvenile. He
certainly had trouble conforming with
414
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,160
the rules.
415
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,840
He was a chance taker. A good friend of
Joe's from high school, Jim, they're
416
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,380
just wild boys. They're sneaking in to
places they shouldn't be.
417
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,260
They also began breaking into homes.
418
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:38,380
On one instance, they were attacked by a
German shepherd.
419
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:45,760
And that's when Jim sees something come
over Joe, a reaction to threat.
420
00:30:46,570 --> 00:30:50,390
He reaches into his pocket and
immediately starts lighting an M -80, a
421
00:30:50,390 --> 00:30:54,830
firecracker. And Joe throws the
firecracker. It lands right underneath
422
00:30:57,790 --> 00:30:59,230
It's not that he hated dogs.
423
00:30:59,670 --> 00:31:01,530
It's how he responded to threat.
424
00:31:02,330 --> 00:31:04,590
The different side of him comes out.
425
00:31:08,810 --> 00:31:12,810
I remember him saying one time, we had
to move back here to the United States
426
00:31:12,810 --> 00:31:15,130
because my sister Connie was hurt.
427
00:31:15,470 --> 00:31:16,510
And that's all he'd said.
428
00:31:17,150 --> 00:31:22,970
Joe's sister Connie was molested at a
young age. I was 12 or so, and she was
429
00:31:22,970 --> 00:31:27,070
just a couple years younger than I was.
Connie made a reference to little girls
430
00:31:27,070 --> 00:31:30,330
being molested. She was talking about
herself. That was about her.
431
00:31:32,190 --> 00:31:37,250
Joseph DeAngelo's nephew in the HBO
special I'll Be Gone in the Dark spoke
432
00:31:37,250 --> 00:31:41,250
a childhood trauma that his sister
underwent when they were stationed in
433
00:31:41,250 --> 00:31:42,250
Germany.
434
00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:43,930
My mother was a...
435
00:31:46,670 --> 00:31:50,650
She was raped in
436
00:31:50,650 --> 00:31:56,650
Germany when she was seven years old
437
00:31:56,650 --> 00:32:03,550
by two military
438
00:32:03,550 --> 00:32:09,890
officers or men in an airplane hangar.
439
00:32:15,150 --> 00:32:16,350
Get through with watching.
440
00:32:19,890 --> 00:32:20,890
Uncle Joe.
441
00:32:22,730 --> 00:32:26,070
Now all of a sudden, violence is crossed
with sexuality.
442
00:32:27,510 --> 00:32:30,310
Would that create the serial predator?
443
00:32:30,510 --> 00:32:34,150
Is it a form of stimulation for somebody
who's already fantasizing about
444
00:32:34,150 --> 00:32:35,290
committing violent acts?
445
00:32:35,530 --> 00:32:37,010
I think that's a possibility.
446
00:32:41,130 --> 00:32:44,530
I think a why that satisfies us in any
way.
447
00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:50,600
will never come. It can't. Because what
justifies this kind of inflicting
448
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:56,700
terror, pain and suffering and power
over another human being?
449
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:03,520
This is obviously a conflicted person,
someone who was compulsively driven,
450
00:33:03,660 --> 00:33:09,080
a very tragic, monstrous wreckage of a
human being.
451
00:33:18,950 --> 00:33:23,270
For 44 years, every time I walk through
the house at night and I look out the
452
00:33:23,270 --> 00:33:26,010
door, I always expected to see a shadowy
figure.
453
00:33:26,350 --> 00:33:30,430
And that's the one thing I will always
remember is the fear.
454
00:33:32,970 --> 00:33:38,690
When I learned about D 'Angelo's
background and that he, in fact, was a
455
00:33:38,690 --> 00:33:42,270
officer and had been in the military,
it's really a sad day.
456
00:33:42,590 --> 00:33:46,490
The irony is that taxpayer money paid
him.
457
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,840
to learn skills that helped him perfect
himself to becoming a better serial
458
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:57,540
predator. He had done it all. Peeper,
prowler, burglar, sadist,
459
00:33:57,540 --> 00:34:00,140
rapist, serial killer.
460
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,940
He always had an escape route planned.
461
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,580
We're taught always know how to escape.
462
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,460
When I saw him the day after he was
arrested, when they wheeled him into the
463
00:34:15,460 --> 00:34:20,030
courtroom, You'd think that he was fresh
out of a nursing home. I'm surprised he
464
00:34:20,030 --> 00:34:21,170
wasn't drooling, quite frankly.
465
00:34:21,610 --> 00:34:27,330
But when you know his history, two days
before... He was outside moving a boat
466
00:34:27,330 --> 00:34:32,230
up and down the driveway, moving
boulders in his yard, cutting his lawn.
467
00:34:32,650 --> 00:34:38,850
He is not the man that people saw being
wheeled helplessly into court every day.
468
00:34:39,150 --> 00:34:40,449
He's a master manipulator.
469
00:34:40,650 --> 00:34:42,870
We had video surveillance of him in the
jail.
470
00:34:43,250 --> 00:34:47,260
He's... Walking around, pacing back and
forth like a caged predator.
471
00:34:47,540 --> 00:34:51,760
Jumping up on his bunk, jumping up on
his table, cleaning his lights. There's
472
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:56,460
also an incident where he was watching a
female worker in the jail and he
473
00:34:56,460 --> 00:34:57,460
started to masturbate.
474
00:34:58,820 --> 00:35:01,420
He's not a crippled old man at all.
475
00:35:02,060 --> 00:35:08,160
One last ploy by a serial sex offender
and serial killer to try and garner some
476
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,160
sympathy.
477
00:35:13,420 --> 00:35:18,560
After 40 years of evading capture, the
Golden State Killer was finally brought
478
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:24,880
to justice. It was an electrifying
moment where the victims were packed in
479
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:25,880
courtroom.
480
00:35:30,380 --> 00:35:36,960
I went into the victim impact statement,
and what really struck me is
481
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,480
the strength.
482
00:35:39,950 --> 00:35:43,290
of human spirit and the resilience that
I heard.
483
00:35:48,870 --> 00:35:51,450
I was 28 years old at the time.
484
00:35:51,730 --> 00:35:56,950
I woke up to a flashlight in my eyes.
There was a gun that he put to my head.
485
00:35:57,130 --> 00:36:01,430
Then he took me out of my bedroom into
another room where he raped me.
486
00:36:02,150 --> 00:36:08,490
Mr. D 'Angelo, I want to tell you what I
was constantly thinking during the rape
487
00:36:08,490 --> 00:36:14,310
itself. You are not going to get me. You
are not going to get me. You are not
488
00:36:14,310 --> 00:36:15,310
going to get me.
489
00:36:15,450 --> 00:36:22,230
This man standing in front of the bed
with a ski mask on, he said, shh,
490
00:36:22,230 --> 00:36:27,510
shut up, shut up, shut up or I'll kill
you. My heart was just pounding out of
491
00:36:27,510 --> 00:36:33,250
chest. My name is Jane Carson Sandler,
and D 'Angelo, I want you to look at me.
492
00:36:34,030 --> 00:36:38,830
I have a loving husband of 26 years and
two amazing, successful sons.
493
00:36:39,570 --> 00:36:41,370
So you didn't destroy my life.
494
00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:47,190
My mom, Sherry Domingo and Greg Sanchez.
I always picture them dancing together.
495
00:36:47,390 --> 00:36:53,230
This monster, D 'Angelo, he came in
fully prepared, armed to the teeth.
496
00:36:53,450 --> 00:36:58,050
And I think about my mom. She must have
just been absolutely petrified in those
497
00:36:58,050 --> 00:37:01,450
moments. My mom and Greg were killed
together in 1981.
498
00:37:04,449 --> 00:37:08,890
Today, the devil loses and justice wins.
499
00:37:10,130 --> 00:37:17,130
Janelle Cruz is my sister. She was 18
and I was 17 when she
500
00:37:17,130 --> 00:37:20,630
was killed. Now I know who killed my
sister Janelle.
501
00:37:21,210 --> 00:37:25,650
Joseph D 'Angelo did. A vicious rapist
and murderer.
502
00:37:26,010 --> 00:37:28,070
Nothing more. I hope you rock.
503
00:37:32,730 --> 00:37:39,550
Bonnie was his ex -fiancé years ago and
actually came to court with me. She
504
00:37:39,550 --> 00:37:44,970
was not able to give an impact statement
because she was not one of his rape
505
00:37:44,970 --> 00:37:49,650
victims. I was able to read what Bonnie
wanted to say to him.
506
00:37:50,190 --> 00:37:56,970
I had written, even with a gun pointed
at my face, you could not make me choose
507
00:37:56,970 --> 00:38:03,790
you. and I never took my stare off of
Joe. I didn't see
508
00:38:03,790 --> 00:38:07,450
a blink or any change whatsoever in Joe.
509
00:38:09,930 --> 00:38:16,070
After the three days of the impact
statements, he is the one who insisted
510
00:38:16,070 --> 00:38:21,070
he wanted to say something, and there
was an audible gasp in the ballroom when
511
00:38:21,070 --> 00:38:22,070
he stood.
512
00:38:24,810 --> 00:38:27,230
I've listened all year.
513
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,040
statements, each one of them.
514
00:38:38,460 --> 00:38:43,440
And I'm really sorry to
515
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,000
everyone I've hurt.
516
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:49,680
Thank you, Your Honor.
517
00:38:51,780 --> 00:38:56,340
It was a complete shock, but he stood up
without any help.
518
00:38:56,860 --> 00:39:03,500
His voice was strong and audible, and
this whispering person who seemed to be
519
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:09,440
nodding off all the time, who seemed
totally disengaged, suddenly all of that
520
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:10,440
was an act.
521
00:39:12,620 --> 00:39:16,340
As they were wheeling him out, I just
walked back right up to the stage, and I
522
00:39:16,340 --> 00:39:20,200
said, D 'Angelo, I just hope you rot in
hell.
523
00:39:24,650 --> 00:39:27,710
There was a policeman right there that
was blocking me because he thought I was
524
00:39:27,710 --> 00:39:30,710
going to jump up on the stage and just
rip him out of the wheelchair.
525
00:39:31,570 --> 00:39:33,530
I felt empowered, finally.
526
00:39:33,930 --> 00:39:37,350
We now have the control. We now have the
power, you son of a gun.
527
00:39:37,890 --> 00:39:39,530
And I wanted him to know that.
528
00:39:43,850 --> 00:39:47,870
Joseph D 'Angelo pled guilty to 13
counts of murder. Murder in the first
529
00:39:48,210 --> 00:39:49,210
How do you plead?
530
00:39:50,430 --> 00:39:51,430
Guilty.
531
00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:57,660
13 other counts of kidnap for purposes
of robbery, the rape charges, the
532
00:39:57,660 --> 00:40:03,060
of limitations had run long ago, but he
ultimately admitted all the uncharged
533
00:40:03,060 --> 00:40:08,240
crimes as well. In exchange for that,
Joseph DeAngelo was sentenced to life in
534
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:10,440
prison without the possibility of
parole.
535
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,520
He would die in prison.
536
00:40:16,060 --> 00:40:18,580
I do know that Sharon divorced him.
537
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:24,860
and made a statement that she had no
knowledge about his attacks and was
538
00:40:24,860 --> 00:40:25,860
her privacy respected.
539
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:32,920
Hundreds of people have been involved in
this case and had an active part in
540
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,200
trying to see it solved.
541
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,840
One team would retire and another would
come on and they would pick up this
542
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:38,840
case.
543
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,340
I think some of the greatest things to
come out of this mayhem are the
544
00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:46,980
development in DNA, the relationships.
545
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,040
the blessing of getting to know other
survivors.
546
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,520
And there are dozens and dozens of those
who have meant so much to me.
547
00:40:55,020 --> 00:40:57,900
We're not alone anymore, and that's
what's so amazing.
548
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:03,460
And I know it's hard for those women
that have never been able to confront or
549
00:41:03,460 --> 00:41:07,760
see their perpetrator go to trial, so I
hope we can speak for them.
550
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:14,000
Never give up hope that if the man that
assaulted you has not been caught, he
551
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,000
will be someday.
552
00:41:19,180 --> 00:41:23,700
Since the Golden State Killer case,
genetic genealogy has been used to help
553
00:41:23,700 --> 00:41:26,600
solve more than 100 cold cases
throughout the country.
554
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,520
Vicious criminals who remained anonymous
and free are being identified and
555
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,380
captured to face justice.
556
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:39,260
And at long last, many survivors and
their families say they have finally
557
00:41:39,260 --> 00:41:40,260
peace.
558
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,660
I'm Donnie Wahlberg.
559
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:42,900
Thanks for watching.
560
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,120
Good night.
561
00:41:48,710 --> 00:41:51,670
