Obviously, it was pandemonium, you know, all of these murderous sprees happening.

Totally.

And we know Joseph D'Angelo took a five-year hiatus from murdering people.

I think it was after Cherry Domingo and Gregory Sanchez.

That's correct.

And... Well, presumably it wasn't kind of, I suppose, top of their radar because he seemingly had, you know, kind of diminished.

But it wasn't until 32 years later that the individual responsible was kind of tracked down, of course.

How did they actually find Joseph D'Angelo?

How did they link him to this?

Well, no, no, I'm not.

No.

So obviously for those who don't know genetic genealogy, it's kind of like those 23andMe tests, isn't it?

Where you are going back to trace your family history and you take a swab of your DNA and you send it off.

and you get back any potential hits or leads on your relations.

And when they did find their guy, that was it wasn't until 2020 that the actual trial took place.

So what year was that?

So we don't really have a sense of what kind of individual Joseph D'Angelo actually really was, per se.

How did you go about kind of, I suppose, for the book, how did you go about kind of getting those sources and bits and pieces together?

And in 2020, Joseph D'Angelo pleaded guilty to 13 counts of first degree murder and pleaded guilty to 13 counts of kidnapping charges.

What sentence did he receive?
