Joseph DeAngelo, better known as the Golden State Killer, terrorized California for decades, committing over 50 rapes, 13 confirmed murders, and dozens of home invasions. Under various aliases like the East Area Rapist, Visalia Ransacker, and Original Night Stalker, he evaded capture for over 40 years. In this episode of Forgotten History, we expose his horrifying crimes, his dark double life as a cop and family man, and the groundbreaking forensic genealogy that finally brought him to justice. Discover how a cold case turned into a landmark investigation, the trauma his victims endured, and why his arrest forever changed how law enforcement hunts serial killers. Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton.
