SFGATE: Suspected 'East Area Rapist' to appear in court

Suspected 'East Area Rapist' to appear in court Published on April 27, 2018 at 10:13AM by By Sarah Ravani, Peter Fimrite and Sophie Haigney CITRUS HEIGHTS, Sacramento County — Joseph James DeAngelo, the ex-cop and retired grandfather accused of terrorizing California with a series of rapes and killings — spurring a decades-long manhunt that ended this week — committed most of his murders in a spree that began three months after he was fired from his job as a police officer in Placer County, police said. But as investigators in several counties build cases against DeAngelo, who was named as the notorious “Golden State Killer” and “East Area Rapist,” they’ve said little about a possible motive in crimes that spanned from 1976 to 1986.

SFGATE: Sources: DNA websites used to hunt suspected killer

Sources: DNA websites used to hunt suspected killer Published on April 27, 2018 at 09:21AM by By Melody Gutierrez and Jenna Lyons SACRAMENTO — Investigators broke open the long-stagnant case of the prolific serial killer and rapist known as the Golden State Killer by mining DNA profiles collected by a genealogical website used by the public to trace family heritage, sources told The Chronicle on Thursday. Law enforcement had long had a DNA profile of the suspected killer, which helped them connect murders and rapes across the state to the same unidentified man. But, the DNA profile did not match any contained in criminal databases that are used by law enforcement throughout the U.S. to link crimes to suspects. The explosion in recent years of DNA heritage websites such as 23andMe and Ancestry.

SFGATE: Tracking the East Area Rapist’s path as he terrorized the Bay Area

Tracking the East Area Rapist’s path as he terrorized the Bay Area Published on April 27, 2018 at 08:54AM by By Sophie Haigney and Jenna Lyons A year before Joseph James DeAngelo’s alleged crime spree escalated from mostly rapes and sexual assaults to also include a series of murders, the former policeman took a terrorizing tour of the Bay Area from 1978 to 1979, according to authorities. DeAngelo, 72, was arrested Wednesday in Sacramento and is accused of committing at least 12 murders and 45 rapes over a 10-year period starting in 1976. Over the first two years of his alleged crime spree, he is suspected of committing at least 39 sexual assaults in the greater Sacramento Area and Central Valley. As the incidents stacked up, authorities became increasingly concerned the East Area Rapist would turn his attention in a new direction.

SFGATE: Detective in Golden State Killer case recalls the chase

Detective in Golden State Killer case recalls the chase Published on April 27, 2018 at 08:38AM by By Jenna Lyons The day before his retirement, Paul Holes parked a white Ford Taurus outside the Citrus Heights home of James Joseph DeAngelo. At that time, neither he nor DeAngelo knew the latter would be arrested at the same house a month later, his DNA connecting him to as many as 12 slayings and 48 rapes in California from 1976 to 1986. It was the end of March, and Holes — a Contra Costa County cold case investigator — was part of a multi-agency team that had narrowed down the suspect list in the case of the East Area Rapist, also known as the Golden State Killer, to a handful of men. He’d been involved in the case for 24 years, and this was the closest investigators had ever been. Or maybe not.

SFGATE: Alleged Golden State Killer worked in warehouse for 27 years

Alleged Golden State Killer worked in warehouse for 27 years Published on April 26, 2018 at 10:58AM by SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The Latest on a serial killing and rape case in California (all times local): 10:20 p.m. The man charged with being the Golden State Killer, who killed a dozen people and raped dozens of women in California decades ago, worked quietly for years in a supermarket warehouse. Save Mart spokeswoman Victoria Castro says Joseph DeAngelo worked at the distribution center in Roseville near Sacramento for 27 years before retiring last year. Castro says none of his workplace actions would have led the company to suspect him of a link to the crimes. DeAngelo, who's 72, was taken into custody Tuesday as he left his Sacramento-area home.

SFGATE: What we know about suspected killer-turned suburban grandpa

What we know about suspected killer-turned suburban grandpa Published on April 26, 2018 at 11:32PM by Avi Selk, The Washington Post If Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. is the Golden State Killer, as police allege, then he spent his 30s in a nearly nonstop frenzy of sadistic violence - breaking into a house every few weeks in the late 1970s, raping dozens of women, and escalating to serial killings before the crime spree suddenly ended in 1986. And if DeAngelo is the killer - police say his DNA proves that he is - then he fit these 45 suspected rapes and 12 suspected murders into an astonishing double life. He was a Vietnam veteran before the spree, a police officer during the spree, and then a husband, father and grandfather who lived quietly among the same communities that the Golden State Killer had terrorized.
