Woman: Joe was so friendly
with everybody.

He was always smiling,
always laughing.

He was a hard worker
and he was smart.

His wife's name was Sharon
and we called her "Sherry."

They were very proud parents.

He took good care
of his daughters.

Family was everything to him.

But Joe went off the deep end,

and if you want to see the devil

Welcome to "Very Scary People."

I'm Donnie Wahlberg.

He terrorized California
for more than 40 years,

a super predator who stalked
women in a blind rage.

He appeared out of the darkness
to torture and kill,

then vanished into the night.

He cornered his victims
in their homes,

viciously attacked
couples asleep in their beds,

all to see the terror
in their eyes.

This serial rapist and murderer
seemed to always be

one step ahead
of police detectives,

but he left critical evidence
behind at the crime scenes,

and investigators were beginning
to connect the dots.

This is Part Two of
"The Golden State Killer."

♪♪

♪♪

Back in the '70s,
a new offender popped up.

Crompton:
The East Area Rapist was hitting
in the Sacramento area.

He's fearless. He's callous.
He's cold-blooded.

We need to do everything we can
to stop him.

Daly: Who was this guy?

A very dangerous offender
who's motivated by

real or imagined wrongs
that he has suffered.

Carson-Sandler:
In 1976, I was 30 years old.

I was happily married,
had a 3-year-old son.

Holes: Early morning, 6:30 A.M.,
Jane is home with her son.

Her husband had
just left for work.

Carson-Sandler:
My little 3-year-old had just
climbed in bed with me

for a nice snuggle.

Minutes later, she hears
somebody running down the hall

towards her bedroom.

Holes: Next thing she knows,
she's looking at a masked man,

and he's shining the flashlight.

Carson-Sandler:
Holding a big knife.

Jordan: She can hear
him ripping up fabric

even after she's been
gagged and blindfolded.

Carson-Sandler:
I'm thinking, "Oh, my God.

Is he gonna hang us?"

That was so scary.

This man ends up taking
her son away from her.

Carson-Sandler:
Then he untied my ankles,

and then I knew
what he was there for.

After that, he kept going
from the bedroom,

telling us that if we moved,
he would kill us,

and then he'd go back
in the kitchen.

He would actually stay
in the house for hours.

Holes: Not only does he
possess the victims,

he possesses their belongings,
he possesses their house.

Eventually, her son was placed
back into bed next to her.

After we thought he was gone,
I was able to take my mask down.

We had five cases that all had
the same method of operation.

Always confronting
the victims in bed,

shining a flashlight
in their eyes.

Had a ski mask on,
and he always had a weapon.

Holes: He would turn the TV on
and put the towel over it.

I believe in part, he's doing
that so he can see the woman,

but he could also see
the terror in her face.

It's a psychological torture.

We've got a serial rapist,
and this is a bad guy.

He was the boogeyman
of the community.

He was like a ghost.

Holes: The victims were
very consistent

in describing a white male
somewhere between 5'8" to 5'10",

reasonably athletic build,
160 to 180 pounds.

We knew he had a size 9 foot,
from the footprints.

We got all sorts of eye color --
blue, green, brown.

We didn't have that much
to go on.

Reporter:
The problem is, no one knows

where or when
he'll strike again.

We know he went on
to commit murder.

His final murder and rape
occurred in May of 1986

with Janelle Cruz
in Orange County.

Janelle Cruz,
my older sister by one year,

she was 18 and I was 17.

She was like Marilyn Monroe.

Holes: Janelle Cruz was this
gorgeous 18-year-old girl

that happened
to be home alone.

This guy just sees Janelle
and decides,

"I'm gonna make her a victim."

♪♪

She had a friend, a male
friend, over to the house.

Michelle: They were listening
to music. They did hear noises.

Pool: Janelle said,
"It must've been a cat."

So they closed the shutters

and continued
listening to music.

He ends up getting into her
house through a sliding door

at the rear of the house.

About 11:15 in the evening,
the young man decided,

"It's getting late.
I better leave."

Shortly after that,
the offender entered the home

and attacked Janelle.

Ho: Hours later,
the body of Janelle Cruz

was found in her bedroom.

Holes: She had received
blows to her head.

She's the one bludgeoning victim

where the offender hit her
in the face.

He had bludgeoned her
in the forehead,

across the bridge of her nose.

O'Toole: What has caused
that level of anger?

Or has it actually
been elevated to hatred?

Because hatred and anger
are not the same emotions.

There was so much fear
in the community.

I was pulled to help
do community meetings.

One of the big questions that
was asked here last night --

if we have a gun,
could we shoot him?

Knowing what I know
about this man,

if I had a gun,
I definitely would shoot him.

What I told them was, "If you're
gonna shoot, shoot to kill,"

because this was
the only way this man

was going to be stopped.

Holes: The Sacramento County
Sheriff's Office

is holding town hall meetings
in the neighborhoods

where attacks were occurring.

I think the East Area Rapist
was at one of the meetings.

Police believe he came
hunting for victims

and targeted a man
who spoke up during the meeting.

This was another challenge
for him.

The gentleman stood up
and he said,

"I don't understand
how a man in the home

wouldn't be able
to defend his wife."

Crompton: Now he was going to
prove to everybody

that he was the one in charge,

and his next attack
was with a man in the house.

Gagliano: Soon after
the town hall meeting,

that man and his wife
became victims.

♪♪

Daly: There were five people
in the home

at the time
that they were attacked.

♪♪

The rapist was so quiet
and so slick

in the darkness of the room.

Shining a flashlight
and showing that he had a gun

and throwing shoestrings
to the woman

and telling her
to tie up her husband.

Having him turn over
on his stomach

and tying his hands
behind his back,

and then tying the victim up.

The fear of that gun
being pointed at you,

that beam of light, and seeing
the shadow of a face mask,

it was, "Do it
or I'm going to kill you."

It was like playing
cat and mouse.

Holes: This is dominance,

and there's nothing you can
do about it.

My heart really
goes out to them.

And then in 1986...

He just sort of disappeared.

Stopped murdering,
stopped raping.

It's very emotionally taxing
to go year after year of year

of putting so much effort
into it and not solving it.

And then all of a sudden,
Paul calls me up and says,

"Hey, I got this idea."

♪♪

Holes: The Golden State Killer
was intelligent.

He was sophisticated.

We have a phrase
that we use in the FBI.

It's called
"the mask of sanity."

The reason this violent offender
is able to not be captured

is because they live
such a normal life,

at least on the surface.

You have the wife
and the children

and live in a nice house.

Holes: Somebody that I thought
was going to be

reasonably successful,
have a career.

Blend in with society.

O'Toole: A serial sexual killer

would not want
someone to see their traits,

that they could be
sexually aroused

by kidnapping someone
or murdering someone.

Fabulous.

O'Toole: Because they don't
want to be caught.

They want to be able to continue
to maintain that secret life.

Gagliano:
Investigators wondered where the
Golden State Killer was hiding,

and Joseph DeAngelo
was waging a lifelong battle

between doing what was right
and his secret, wild urges.

Joe's house was directly
behind ours.

My family kind of referred
to him as Mr. Mom,

because back in the '80s,

Joe had raised
his three daughters.

♪♪

In '73, he became a law
enforcement officer in Exeter.

Holes:
In Tulare County, California.

He rose to sergeant in Exeter.

And in 1976, Mr. DeAngelo

relocates to another
Sacramento-area police agency,

the Auburn Police Department.

And when he's in Auburn, he
begins not only as a patrolman,

but he's working split shifts.

He's doing relief
when people are on vacation.

The Golden State Killer
investigation

had been
a cold case for decades,

but in 2018,
the task force got a big break

that might just finally
crack the case.

Schubert: Paul calls me up and
says, "Hey, I got this idea.

Investigative genetic
genealogy."

Another revolution with DNA.

It is the greatest hope we had
at solving this case.

People upload
their genetic profiles

into publicly accessible
websites.

GEDmatch, Ancestry.com,
or 23andMe.

Millions of people have
submitted their DNA

to genealogy websites.

So they can determine if they
have half-cousins or siblings

that they didn't know about.

The goal was to determine
if there was a distant relative

of the Golden State Killer
on the genealogy websites.

Holes: I just uploaded that

Golden State Killer DNA profile
into GEDmatch.

The match report comes back
with relatives

of the Golden State Killer.

Somebody within this pool
of descendants

that could
potentially be your killer.

We were able to develop
family trees,

find common ancestors
who were born back in the 1840s.

Let's say
a great-great-grandparent.

You got to understand
that people born in the 1840s

would have 15 kids,

and you have to identify
all those children,

then you have to identify
all their kids.

In total, we probably had
10,000 entries or more

across all these trees.

Somewhere on this massive
family tree is your suspect,

is the killer.

♪♪

Mr. DeAngelo has a relationship

with a girl that
he meets in college, Bonnie.

He seems fascinated by Bonnie.

She's a brilliant,
young student.

She tutors him in
some of his classes.

Eventually, we began
dating each other.

I saw Joe as a happy,
engaged, fun-loving guy.

He was accepted into and just
kind of inserted himself

into her family.

Ueltzen: I have five
brothers and sisters.

Joe was very much interested
in being included.

A year after they meet,
Joe proposes to Bonnie.

Ueltzen: Nothing down on
the knee, nothing like that.

I think it was more
like ownership.

"We're going to marry."

I belong to him.

And then one year
after he proposed,

Bonnie gets fed up with Joe.

Holes: He's doing things
purposely to scare her.

She can tell
he's excited by her fear.

Holes: Later, they're taking
a class together,

Abnormal Psychology,
and he's struggling.

He basically demands
that she help him cheat.

Jordan: Ethically, she doesn't
want anything to do with this.

Ueltzen: My father was
a high school principal.

My mother had been a teacher.

I was just done.

St. John: And that's when Joe
repeats over and over,

"You will do this.
You will do this."

And Bonnie stands up
for herself with Joe.

"You are not the man
I'm going to marry.

We are not going to have
a future together."

He's not very happy
about that.

Holes:
And then a knock on the window,
and she opens up the curtain.

Ueltzen: Joe was outside
the window, pointing a gun at me

and telling me to get dressed.

We were going to Reno,

that we were going to be
married that night.

She goes and gets her father.

Ueltzen:
And he went out and talked
to Joe for almost two hours.

He just told me that
Joe was gone

and I could go back to bed,

and never did he ever tell me
what they talked about,

if they had any kind
of an agreement.

Holes: And that's literally
the last interaction

that she had with DeAngelo.

Gagliano:
Investigators analyzing the
genetic genealogy family trees

were dramatically
narrowing their search

for the suspected
Golden State Killer.

And trying to just, one by one,
eliminate subjects.

Some people could be
ruled out easily.

Some people might be dead.
Some people are female.

And that's where we start
narrowing in on

males that potentially have
a connection to California

during the years in which the
Golden State Killer was active.

Gagliano: Names were popping up
at different times.

Then suddenly,
the universe of family members

narrowed to one man.

Holes: There was a guy
that popped up.

This could very well be the guy.

The person was
Joseph James DeAngelo.

"=Let's see what kind of headway
I can make on this DeAngelo.

♪♪

I saw a newspaper article
about DeAngelo

having been engaged to a Bonnie.

I was like,
"Well, that's interesting."

Interesting because "Bonnie" was
the name the Golden State Killer

had shouted out in front of one
of his victims in a 1978 attack.

There were several instances
in the East Area Rapist phase

in which the victims report
they'd hear him sobbing.

He's crying while
he's sexually assaulting her.

This is where he's
making the statement,

"I hate you, Bonnie.
I hate you, Bonnie."

And that had always been
a mystery to investigators.

But now they learn Bonnie was
the Joseph DeAngelo romance

that ended in a disturbing
broken engagement.

Maybe he still had
some very deep-seated fury.

Detectives were able to
learn that he was

a former police officer,
and that fit in with the profile

and some of the early theories
of the case.

Daly: We really felt that
it could've been somebody

in either law enforcement
or military.

Detectives felt that way
because of his M.O.

at all the crime scenes.

It's based off little things,
things that he would say

as far as putting their hands
behind their back,

not leaving fingerprints
anywhere.

He always had
an escape route planned,

and I think, a lot of time,

that is military
and law-enforcement training.

Jordan: The geography and
the timeline of the attacks

coincided with the events
in Joseph DeAngelo's life.

The Visalia ransackings
were happening at the same time

that DeAngelo was
on the Exeter police force,

just 10 miles away from Visalia.

Hagan: In Exeter, he was in
charge of the burglary program

that was investigating
the Visalia ransacking cases.

He could control
those investigations.

Jordan:
As DeAngelo was in training for
the Auburn police department,

he began the East Area
rape attacks.

I'm going, "God, this is awfully
coincidental, right?"

Then detectives placed
Joseph DeAngelo

down in Southern California

during the Golden State Killer
murders.

He and his wife Sharon
had moved to L.A.

Sharon gets a job with

the National Labor Relations
Board in Los Angeles.

That's when it was like,
"You know what?

This DeAngelo guy is adding up.
We need to get his DNA."

The law requires us
to confirm...

That Joseph DeAngelo was,
in fact,

the person
who left the DNA behind

at all of these crime scenes.

We had him on surveillance
for several days.

At that point, the decision
was made that

trash day was coming up
in his neighborhood.

We ended up picking up
his garbage from the street.

The sample was collected.

A discarded tissue
that he had used.

[Cellphone buzzing]
My phone lights up and the lab
says they're excited.

Jones: They were able to get an
absolute positive identification

between the suspect
and Joseph DeAngelo.

They were one and the same.

It's him.
There's no question about it.

That's a slam dunk.

Okay, we've got our person.

that's a serial killer, clearly,

who's gotten away with it
for 40-plus years,

but then you have the added fact

that he's
a former police officer.

We did not want to go into
his house to make an arrest.

We did not want to let him
get into any place

where he might have
secreted a weapon

or be able to execute some plan
that we may not be aware of.

There was a concern about
his oldest daughter

who was living with him.

We don't want
a hostage situation.

I've had so many cases
where the offender,

if he thought
he was going to be caught,

says that if he had to kill
his wife or his children,

he would do that.

Jones: We knew we wanted to
catch him by surprise.

On the day of his arrest,
a number of sheriff's detectives

were in a minivan,
getting ready to arrest him.

Joseph DeAngelo was outside,
in front of his house.

At that point, the sheriff
detective stepped out

and pretended to
ask for directions.

I'm back at
the homicide station.

We're listening over a radio,
and then it goes silent.

So now it's pins and needles,

that is a serial killer.

Does he have a gun on him?

Ho: And before Joseph DeAngelo
knew it...

he was in handcuffs
in a minivan, under arrest

for the series of
murders and rapes

that he committed
throughout California.

Jones: It went exactly as
we hoped and expected,

but we were ready for anything.

DeAngelo's brought in

the female detectives is going,

"That's what he was doing
in the victims' backyards

while he's watching them."

He would go absolutely
motionless in the shadows

was right for him to attack.

I walk into the room

colder in that room.

There's an immediate
sense of evil in there.

I've never felt
like that before.

So now I'm sitting
across from DeAngelo.

I noticed he was a big guy.

215 pounds, at arrest.

His hands were like bear paws.

Hutchcraft:
He actually had broad shoulders
and seemed naturally strong.

He could one-arm reach over

and, like, knock you
to the ground, kind of guy.

And that shocked me,
because of his age.

The way I talk to people is to
try to humanize myself

and the person I'm talking to,
say things like,

"There's never too late of
a time to make anything better."

I was coming up with questions
and trying to pull him out.

His eyes were going very fast,

like he was
trying to out-think me.

I absolutely could feel
a little bit of the terror

the victim must've gone
through with this guy.

I kept on looking down to make
sure he's cuffed to the floor.

I'm feeling the evilness
protruding from him.

I try to appeal more to,

"Would your daughters
feel better about you,

knowing that you helped
the investigation?"

Holes: A couple of agents were
talking to his daughters

out in the lobby, kind of
explaining what was going on.

I did see them.

They were distraught.
They were crying.

It would be as if your parents

that you thought you knew
all your life,

that you were told today
that your dad's a serial killer.

And their heartbreak
is so obvious.

They're wailing,
and his face crumples.

You can see the pain
in his face,

and his voice goes very soft.

To the second daughter, he says,
"Go away. Go away."

And she leaves the room
and they close the door,

and he's whispering to himself,
"Goodbye. Goodbye."

Hutchcraft: He'd been offered
water, Dr. Pepper,

anything to eat or drink

I will always remember,

is the fear.

Daly: When I learned about
DeAngelo's background

and that he, in fact,
was a police officer

and had been in the military,
it's really a sad day.

The irony is that taxpayer money
paid him to learn skills

that helped him perfect himself

to becoming
a better serial predator.

Hutchcraft: He has done it all,
peeper, prowler, burglar.

A sadist, a rapist,
a serial killer.

Kneeland: He always had
an escape route planned.

We're taught,
always know how to escape.

When I saw him the day
after he was arrested,

when they wheeled him
into the courtroom...

Schubert: You'd think that he
was fresh out of a nursing home.

I'm surprised he wasn't
drooling, quite frankly.

But when you know his history,
two days before...

Mangang: He was outside moving
a boat up and down the driveway,

moving boulders in his yard,
cutting his lawn.

Jones: He is not the man
that people saw

being wheeled helplessly
into court every day.

He's a master manipulator.

Jones: We had video surveillance
of him in the jail.

He's walking around, pacing back
and forth like a caged predator.

Jumping up on his bunk,
jumping up on his table,

cleaning his lights.

Ho: There's also an incident
where he was watching

a female worker in the jail
and he started to masturbate.

He's not a crippled
old man at all.

One last ploy by a serial
sex offender and serial killer

to try and garner some sympathy.

[ Sighs ]

Miyao:
I was 28 years old at the time.

I woke up to
a flashlight in my eyes.

There was a gun
that he put to my head.

Then he took me out
of my bedroom

into another room,
where he raped me.

Mr. DeAngelo, I want to tell you

what I was constantly thinking
during the rape itself.

"You are not going to get me.

You are not gonna get me.

You are not gonna get me."

Carson-Sandler:
This man standing in front
of the bed with a ski mask on.

He said, "Shh, shh, shut up!

Shut up, shut up
or I'll kill you."

My heart was just
pounding out of my chest.

My name is Jane Carson-Sandler,
and DeAngelo,

I want you to look at me.

I have a loving husband
of 26 years

and two
amazing, successful sons,

so you didn't destroy my life.

McMullan: My mom, Cheri Domingo,
and Greg Sanchez --

I always picture them
dancing together.

This monster, DeAngelo,
he came in fully prepared,

armed to the teeth,
and I think about my mom.

She must've just been absolutely
petrified in those moments.

My mom and Greg were
killed together in 1981.

Today, the devil loses
and justice wins.

Janelle Cruz is my sister.

She was 18 and I was 17
when she was killed.

Now I know who killed
my sister Janelle.

Joseph DeAngelo did,
a vicious rapist and murderer

and nothing more.

I hope he rots.

Carson-Sandler: Bonnie was
his ex-fiancee years ago,

and actually
came to court with me.

She was not able to give
an impact statement

because she was not
one of his rape victims.

I was able to read what Bonnie
wanted to say to him.

I had written, "Even with
a gun pointed at my face,

you could not
make me choose you."

And I never took my stare
off of Joe.

I didn't see a blink or
any change whatsoever in Joe.

St. John: After the three days
of the impact statements,

he is the one who insisted
that he wanted to say something.

And there was an audible gasp
in the ballroom when he stood.

I've listened to all your
statements, each one of them.

♪♪

and I am truly sorry
to everyone I've hurt.

Thank you, Your Honor.

It was a complete shock,

but he stood up
without any help.

His voice was
strong and audible,

and this whispering person

who seemed to be nodding off
all the time,

who seemed totally disengaged,

suddenly,
all of that was an act.

Carson-Sandler:
As they were wheeling him out,

I just walked back right up
to the stage and I said,

"DeAngelo, I just hope
you rot in hell."

Rot in hell!

There was a policeman right
there that was blocking me,

'cause he thought I was
gonna jump up on the stage

and just rip him
out of the wheelchair.

I felt empowered, finally.

We now have the control.

We now have the power,
you son of a gun,

and I wanted him to know that.

♪♪

Joseph DeAngelo pled guilty
to 13 counts of murder.

Judge: Murder in the first
degree. How do you plead?

Guilty.

Schubert: 13 other counts of
kidnap for purposes of robbery.

The rape charges, the statute
of limitations had run long ago,

but he ultimately admitted all
the uncharged crimes, as well.

Ho: In exchange for that,

Joseph DeAngelo was sentenced
to life in prison

without the possibility
of parole.

He will die in prison.

Holes: I do know that
Sharon divorced him

and made a statement

that she had no knowledge
about his attacks

and was wanting
her privacy respected.

Daly: Hundreds of people
have been involved in this case

and had an active part
in trying to see it solved.

One team would retire
and another would come on

and they would
pick up this case.

Hutchcraft: I think some of
the greatest things

to come out of this mayhem

are the developments
in DNA, the relationships.

McMullan: The blessing of
getting to know other survivors,

and there are dozens and dozens
of those

who have meant so much to me.

Carson-Sandler:
We're not alone anymore,
and that's what's so amazing,

and I know it's hard
for those women

that have never been
able to confront

or see their perpetrator
go to trial,

so I hope we can speak for them.

Never give up hope that
if the man that assaulted you

has not been caught,
he will be someday.
