THE GOLDEN STATE SERIAL KILLER

Описание: Joseph James DeAngelo Jr., born on November 8, 1945, is an American serial killer, serial rapist, burglar, and former police officer. Between 1974 and 1986, he committed at least 13 murders, 51 rapes, and 120 burglaries across California. DeAngelo was known by various nicknames during his crime sprees: the Visalia Ransacker (1974–1976), the East Area Rapist (1976–1979), and later, the Original Night Stalker (to differentiate him from another serial killer named Richard Ramirez, who was also known as the "Night Stalker"). In an effort to increase awareness, crime writer Michelle McNamara coined the name "Golden State Killer" in 2013. DeAngelo was arrested in 2018 after his DNA was traced through a genealogy website, ending a 40-year hunt for the notorious criminal. He pleaded guilty to 13 counts of first-degree murder and received 12 consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.
