So then police have to, you know, still do the old fashioned work, but it's a shortcut.

And they eliminate who the killer is.

Now they found a distant cousin of D'Angelo.

And after, you know, eliminating, this was, you know, I think 2016, they started going back and eliminating his relatives until they found their guy.

Sure.

Joseph D'Angelo was originally from a small town in upstate New York called Bath.

Now, he was a Vietnam veteran, but he wasn't running around the jungle shooting an M-16, as he often told people.

He was on a ship 20 miles off the coast.

So a bit of a fabulous that way.

But he desperately wants to be a cop after he gets out of Vietnam and he goes to university, desperately wants to be a cop, and he gets hired by a small town in Northern California called Exeter.

uh he's does you know just run-of-the-mill copper stuff there uh and then he moves to uh he moves to aurora california closer to an kind of an outer suburb of sacramento the state capital and at some point he um

I don't know whether he just started pushing things.

He would break into people's houses and prowl and look in the windows and jump over backyards and whatnot.

He would steal souvenirs, whether it was undergarments or pies or whatever.

And so he continues doing this for quite a long time.

Now, he's very he's very clever and he's he's getting away with this.

And, you know, but because, you know, this is, you know, in his guys as the Vesalia ransacker, one of the early goings of his thing.

And then he but then he's breaking in.

He's stealing the odd thing.

And then on September 11th, 1975, he's a cop, but he does a break-in.
