There was a definite spike in serial predator crime in the 1970s. Part of it was the ready victim pools that don't exist today. Houses generally didn't have alarm systems. We don't see women hitchhiking much today. Joe D'Angelo was a full-time law enforcement officer.

He's breaking into houses in the middle of the night, raping women or girls that are home alone that he's binding up and sexually assaulting. He ended up committing 50 of these attacks in Northern California between 1976, 1979, and just disappeared. I started working that case in 1994.

As a cold case investigator, even though the case is 30 years old, it's like, no, you know, this is still a public safety issue. We need to remove this offender from society. And in 2001, 10 people had been killed across six cases. I'm seeing this woman's body laying inside her house and the photos of her alive on the shelf above her body.

She battled for her life, and I could see this combat go throughout that entire room. After the Golden State Killer raped some of his victims, he would crouch in the corner and cry. They said he was sobbing, you know, it was like genuine. In fact, one victim, he was sobbing while he was raping her. The last thing I did in my career before I retired was I drove up and parked in front of his house.

I debated, should I just go knock on his door? I didn't know he was a Golden State Killer, but this was such a brazen, brutal predator. He absolutely had to be caught.
