True Crime Essays

The so-called â€˜Golden State Killerâ€™ has been found and arrested after 40 years - and to the shock of many, 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo was a former cop. It turns out that I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer Kindle Edition - a book penned by Michelle McNamara, Gillian Flynn and Patton Oswalt was correct.
DeAngelo allegedly terrorized Californians 40 years ago, dubbing him the â€œGolden State Killer,â€ after a minimum of one dozen were killed and dozens of women were raped. Now on Wednesday, April 25, Joseph has been charged with capital murder. The Golden State Killerâ€™s crimes were notorious, and DeAngelo was at the center of a case that had gone unsolved for decades. Josephâ€™s alleged crimes spanned from the 1970s to the 1980s, but ended as mysteriously as they began.
Folks gave up hope that the case would ever be solved. However, author Michelle McNamaraâ€™s true crime tale delved deeply into the case of a sick and demented mind before her death. DeAngelo was described as a violent predator who was responsible for at least 50 sexual assaults that took place in Northern California. Then Joseph took his crimes south, where he committed murders.

Michelle was obsessed with finding out more about the psychopath who was DeAngelo, whom she gave â€œThe Golden State Killerâ€ moniker. Michelle thoroughly researched reports from authorities, spoke with Josephâ€™s victims, and immersed herself as a true crime journalist in online forums about DeAngelo.

From an 18-year-old to a 30-year-old, Joseph committed crimes that pegged him as an athletic white man who was able to leap over lofty fences. However, because DeAngelo chose to wear masks, it was at first difficult for his victims to identify him outside of his scary whisper of a voice, spoken through clenched teeth.

Joseph often chose couples in the suburbs of California to attack, as they slept for the night, while waking them with the bright light of a flashlight.

The Capture of Joseph DeAngelo

DeAngelo was arrested in outside of Sacramento - in Citrus Heights, California - after discarded DNA technology narrowed him down from hundreds of suspects. However, â€œgood old-fashioned police workâ€ is being credited with the former police officerâ€™s capture. Authorities believed that the Golden State Killer could have been a cop, as DeAngelo was when the sexual attacks started. The DNA evidence clearly linked Joseph to the crimes. DeAngelo was a name that wasnâ€™t on the lips of authorities recently until the previous week before his arrest.

DeAngelo appeared in his booking photo in a stained white T-shirt, partially bald, with spots on his face - looking every bit of his age. Thus far, Joseph faces eight counts of murder and without bail. DeAngeloâ€™s crimes are believed to have spanned in three separate sections, with the first crime spade happening in Visalia, California, in the mid-1970s. Thatâ€™s when DeAngelo is believed to have started breaking into homes - giving him the nickname â€œVisalia Ransackerâ€ in the beginning. Then in 1976, in Northern California, sexual assaults were added to the home break-ins, which gave DeAngelo the nicknames â€œEast Area Rapistâ€ and the â€œOriginal Night Stalker.â€
Joseph is believed to have committed heinous assaults that featured women being raped in the presence of those who loved them, who were tied up. Finally, a series of killings in Southern California houses in the 1980s ultimately gave DeAngelo the â€œGolden State Killerâ€ moniker. By 2001, DNA technology was advanced enough that it provided cops with proof that all of the crimes were perpetrated by the same man. Josephâ€™s victims were as young as 13 years of age, up to 41 years of age.
