Who was the Golden State Killer and what crimes did he commit?
But today, because of some very vital clues, we now know him by his actual name.
Don't go anywhere, because we're about to unpack how the Golden State Killer's reign of terror unraveled, one unexpected clue at a time, and how a serial killer who hid in plain sight for so long was finally exposed.
I'm excited for today's episode. I did not know a lot about this case until 24 hours ago. Wow. But you had heard about it before. I had, like, loosely heard about it, but I had no idea, like, truly the depths of this case. So I went... So I deep dived yesterday. I don't know. But you guys, I like did not sleep last night. I gave myself nightmares like, yeah, this is probably one of the more intense cases we are going to cover.
I agree. This one is one of the scariest cases I've ever read about. I think the first time I really did a deep dive on it was reading I'll Be Gone in the Dark. Which to me is like on the Mount Rushmore of true crime classics. It's like right up next to In Cold Blood. But it's one of my favorite books. It's written so well. And it really does a good job of like getting into the nitty gritty of this case, which this is a huge case to cover. And I think, you know, we're going to really try to break it down for everyone today.
Yeah, absolutely. And I mean, it's a little close to home for us. We're living in California. So a lot of the places we're going to talk about are familiar for both of us.
So I went to college right around the corner because I went to college in Orange County. And so he was operating in Irvine. And it's just it's so scary to kind of know the map that he was operating on.
It is going to be an intense day today. So before we open up the case file, I do just want to give everyone a bit of a warning. As mentioned, this case really is intense. Talks about sexual assault, murder. So if you feel you can't handle any of those things and the graphic details they could entail, please come back for next week's episode. But otherwise, let's dive into this case.
