Patton Oswalt

So when she came up with Golden State Killer, something very evocative and weird and creepy about that name that she came up with, that did help reopen the case. Now, obviously, yes, other investigators brought that case home. She also did suggest using familial DNA, which they ended up doing, but whatever. But it was very funny to watch them at these press conferences.

Someone was like, what about the work of Michelle McNamara? And he was like, Michelle McNamara's work had nothing to do with us catching the Golden State Killer. And we're all like... You literally just used the name that helped. Anyway, but yeah. But that was like satisfying for us to watch.

Yeah, I just, the thing that I... The thing that I wish was more, that she really wanted to be more focused on, and I'm seeing it in a lot of these, but not in all of them, is what she wanted the focus to be on was the investigators and was the victims, rather than making these serial killers have to be these dark anti-heroes. Serial killers are zilches.

The reason that they're killing people is because they're a zilch in life. They're not contributing anything, so I'll take something. So the fact that she was able to do something to put the focus on the people that are trying to bring justice to the powerless, or the voiceless, in this case the dead, or the people that survived,

or, you know, survive to testify and still put themselves at risk with these, because a lot of these, if you relook at the Ted Bundy case, like the way that he was treated, like, oh my God, it's so tragic, this bright young guy with a, Could have been a lawyer. He was a fucking idiot.

He flunked out of every... But he's a good-looking white guy, and everyone's like, oh, my God, we got... And when the judge sentenced him, he's like, I feel terrible. You just took a wrong path, buddy, but I would have loved to have had you in my court. Can you imagine being one of the survivors going, what the fuck is going on here? This guy is getting all the...

You know, and his final statement was like, this is like a Greek tragedy, you know, like the wrong guy. You're like, what fucking world are we living in?

And then you're gonna get to a point where you go, well, I can function, and thankfully, you will be thankful for the fact that you can't feel anything.
