Golden State Killer suspect caught and identified as former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo

A former police officer has been arrested in connection to a long-unsolved string of rapes and murders which are believed to have been carried out by the "Golden State Killer".

Joseph James DeAngelo was picked up by authorities in California, who allege he was behind 12 murders and at least 50 rapes in the 1970s and 1980s, along with a number of burglaries. He was also known as the "East Area Rapist".

Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said the 72-year-old was identified with a DNA test.

“For over 40 years”, Sacramento County district attorney Anne Marie Schubert told a press conference, “countless victims have waited for justice”.

Sheriff Jones added that an investigative team formed two years ago was given “virtually unlimited resources and freedom” to catch the killer.

Mr DeAngelo now faces murder charges across multiple counties for decades-old killings.

As the string of crimes were making headlines, Mr DeAngelo was working as a police officer. He worked for two different police departments from 1973 to 1979, Mr Jones said.

“Very possibly he was committing the crimes during the time he was employed as a police officer”, Mr Jones said, and authorities were investigating whether Mr DeAngelo committed any crimes while on duty.

As the list of victims and geographical area in which they were targeted expanded, with cases in at least 10 different counties, the suspect earned more additional nicknames.

“He’s been called the East Side Rapist. He’s been called the Visalia Ransacker, the Original Night Stalker and the Golden State Killer”, Orange County district attorney Tony Rackauckas said. “Today, it’s our pleasure to call him ‘defendant’”.

The lack of arrests haunted California law enforcement for decades and was a “source of great frustration”, Ventura County district attorney Gregory Totten said.

fuck tha pigs

"Trust me, I'm a police officer" :^)

All these articles are remarkably short on information about how they got him.

Investigators plugged in DNA from one of the crime scenes to genealogy websites used to find relatives and learn more about their background. From there, officials followed family trees to try and narrow down a suspect.

he process investigators took to identify DeAngelo was first reported by the Sacramento Bee. Sacramento's Chief Deputy Steve Grippi confirmed the use of a genealogy website to USA TODAY but declined to elaborate further on what website was used.

"We have given you as much information as we can at this time. No further information on this subject will be provided," Grippi said.

The Sacramento Bee reports investigators narrowed down potential suspects on the genealogy websites and soon DeAngelo became their primary target. He lived in the areas where the crimes happened and fit the right age range.

It all came together after investigators obtained discarded DNA that matched DeAngelo. It was a match for other samples taken from the decades-old crime scenes.

I'm guessing that the crime scene DNA showed Italian traits,after that- wtf

The investigation was conducted over a long period of time as officials in Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert's office and crime lab explored online family trees that appeared to match DNA samples from the East Area Rapist's crimes, Grippi said. They then followed clues to individuals in the family trees to determine whether they were potential suspects.

This sounds fishy.
And scary, if it's real. If the government's powers to track you are that great, eventually they won't be limited to just using it on serial killers.

Red Deutch?

your silence about one of your pig friends getting caught murdering people for years while his department turned a blind eye is deafening

Law enforcement does frequent the chans. Some for official investigatory reasons others because they're sociopaths like the rest of us.

I resemble that remark.

Are you a pig?

Because if you are and you've posted that video. That's fucking hilarious. Were you fiddled as a kid? Do you have a matrix type leather jacket and tell all the strangers that you meet that you're an LEO? Because that's fucking hilarious. Do you literally call yourself crazy? So crazy that you fight fur durr freedums of amerikuh. I sincerely hope you don't tell others you're crazy. Because it's top tier shitposting on cringe levels man. Nobody shares their own shit unless they're posting their tits or butthole on the chans. No matter how edgy, it's fucking pathetic that LEO's come to places like this for confirmation of adulthood in order to feel like hurr reeaaal mann. Yank cops are a fucking joke.
