    Golden State Killer / East Area Rapist Finally CAUGHT

    http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article209779364.html

    I've always paid close attention to the case, living in a few of the cities he frequented.

    For years, the amateur criminal profilers had suspected he was a former Vietnam Vet, possibly in construction, and/or a position of power.

    The only real details to come out so far is that he was a Vietnam vet, and also was a cop in the late 70's, until he was fired for stealing from a convenience store.

    He definitely thought he was smarter than everyone else, which he apparently was, hiding in plain sight in Sacramento for the last 20 years.

    Can't wait for the details to come out, how bad the cops/FBI fucked up, and wonder if he was involved in any of the cases in the early 90s of young girls being kidnapped in the Bay Area (Ilene Misheloff and Michaela Garrett) never to be heard from again.

    Between this guy, Philip Garrido, Uncle Ted, and Zodiac, Northern California, sure turned out some winners.

    “The East Area Rapist, also known as the Golden State Killer, the Original Night Stalker and the Diamond Knot Killer, is believed to have killed at least 12 people, raped at least 45 victims and burglarized hundreds of homes.”

    If only folks had guns to protect themselves and their homes.

    He would sneak in prior to his attack, and remove bullets from guns. No joke.

    Odd that he was such a prolific rapist/killer/burglar for all of those years, and then just stopped cold in 1986.

    Maybe he decided at age 40 that it was going to get harder physically to accomplish what he was doing, but it's not like 40 is so old that he would have been all that hindered.

    I guess it's also possible that he realized he would get caught if he continued, perhaps after seeing the "other" Night Stalker in California (Richard Ramirez) get caught a year earlier.

    Heard rumors he stopped around the time his kids were born.

    I believe 1986 was when DNA profiling became a part of crime detection...that may be why the stopping, the perp being in law enforcement knew of DNA's capabilities

    Remains the most interesting thing to me - hard to believe that someone with that pathology could just (seemingly) give it up.

    I'll be Gone in the Dark on HBO premiered recently related to this, good so far.

    He would also bring treats to homes with dogs, sometimes for weeks beforehand, so they would like him and not alert the owners.

    If he was able to actually just shut if off and live a normal life for 20+ years that kinda makes it worse in a way. Indicates he could control his urges, but chose not too.

    "Normal" serial killers who truly seem to have a mental disease they have no control over and can't shut it off you can feel some sympathy for.

    Can't be completely sure yet but it seems likely it's him.

    I've also followed this case for years. The podcast "Casefile" had a 4-part series on the East Area Rapist last year, going into tremendous detail. It's worth listening if you have the time, pretty horrific though.

    I'm very interested to know how they finally got him.
