ABC7 Presents: Chasing the Golden State Killer | Part I 

It irritates me that he’s acting like he’s feeble. He’s in excellent shape for a man his age.

I think early investigators knew they were dealing with a cop.

He’s pretending to be feeble. Monster

My 17 year old daughter had a stalker who became a murderer. She had once been his girlfriends friend and she had flatted with them but he was obsessed with my daughter and tried to corner her on many occasions. She was scared of him. She came home to live with me and he got into our house several times. The first time we didn't have a cell phone but I had a deadlock on the inside of my bedroom door. My daughter shook me awake at 3.30am to tell me someone was in the house. We locked ourselves in my room but the phone was up the hallway near the kitchen where he was rummaging in the drawers. After we heard him leave we called the police who came out with a dog who tracked him to where a car had been parked just a few hundred yards from our house and we had heard it roar away. Next time he got in I had a cell phone, and we were again locked in my room at 3am. He heard us talking to the police and took off. I got a huge bullmastiff as a guard dog but this bastard got in again when I took the dog out for a walk. So we knew he was watching the house. The cops got him in the end after he left a pair of boots hidden in our garden and his DNA was in them. By this time he was out on bail for the manslaughter of a girl who had rejected him (it was first degree murder - the victim told people he was going to kill her and he did). Also while on bail he beat to death a neighbour's 2 year old daughter, who also had terrible sexual injuries. He got life in prison, but that's who was stalking my daughter.

Wonder how many unknown serial killers are out there...

So he was known by three names. That’s horrifying that one man can do so many crimes

HOLES IS A SMART MAN. TOP INVESTIGATOR.

Paul Holes AND lets not forget about Michelle McNamara. Loved her book I'll Be Gone in the Dark about the East Area Rapist, it was so comprehensive and it's so sad that she died before she could see the outcome of all the work her and Paul Holes accomplished. What a tragedy

This cop deserves more than a promotion 🙏.respect.

This really annoys me, I said for years he worked in law enforcement. No one would ever listen. The signs were always there.

He was living right around the corner from me in Citrus Heights when he was caught. Totally took my breath away when I found out

Joseph James DeAngelo has a MicroPenis. Okay, now I'm watching the video. I just had to really talk crap before I watched it.

I hope that this case helped to convince various police departments across counties, states and countries (!) to work together and not consider themselves in competition with each other. This will only lead to holding back information in order to “be the one who catches the killer”. And ultimately this will allow the perps to continue what they do longer. Wouldn’t it be better to share the success across borders?

They found a security guard badge in the 80's that they think belonged to this guy. Did they ever find out if DeAngelo had worked as a security guard?

I knew it had to be a cop being able to move so stealthy you have to be ex military or police to move like that

Good job on keeping your archives, now it needs to all be digitized.

If you haven’t read “I’ll be gone in the dark” go read it. Phenomenal book!

This is a really, really well done program. I mean, I know the subject matter is dark but this is an excellent, easy watch. Absolutely nothing like this would be made in my area, my local news wouldn't be bothered.

You know what the irony is,he is 72. He knows his life is over now.

This guy was a cop at the time of the attacks right? So that means to say that not one investigating detective or fellow police officer cottoned on to the fact that this guy was never on duty whenever there was an attack?

So THAT'S how they caught that monster! Bravo!!!!

All of that media attention, fueled the murderer. Giving him a name pumped his nads. They feed off of it. Just like right now, that man is enjoying it all.

I'm here after he finally admit he's guilty.

5:49 *She was NOT "13" when THIS pic was taken!!*

I absolutely can't get enough of this case and how they caught this psychopath after all these years. I just wish they would have filmed him getting arrested so we could all see his reaction and the look on his face. That would have been priceless. I'm sure he thought there was no way he would ever get caught after all those years. There will be many more cases solved using these genealogy websites and it will become a deterrent to future crimes also.

Praying for all the victims families justice will finally be served may your loved ones Rest In Peace 😘😇

ACTUALLY, he started out as the Visalia Ransacker Burglar! They completely left out that Visalia police reported that it was the same man, and they were ROUNDLY discredited! If they had listened in the first place, think of how many of these crimes might not have happened! 🤬

If you want the full story in incredible detail, check out the excellent, Wondery podcast "The Man In The Window", horrifying yet riveting listening.

Thank you for the video.

The other thing that messes with my mind is how Highly Educated he was

Cyanide laced poison eh? Seems a bit redundant but okay...

How was he able to live with himself all these years? He looks dead inside.

Just so happy that they got him such a cruel man.

Much respect to Paul.. u r so inspiring

This is bigger than the zodiac killer

Wait he was on the loose for 40 years? Jesus Christ

wow paul holes is awesome

didnt they ever check places where you can buy ski masks

Then he acts deaf dumb and stupid in the court room, and suddenly he can’t walk.

I like this Paul Holes guy. He solved this crime,

Hes the night stalker. Before Richard Ramirez.

Damn, imagine finding out your husband, dad is a notorious killer 😬

OMG how scary 😭😭😭

Brown's been the goovenore this long, and y'all wondered why this murderer's gotten away so long!

A week before he was arrested he was riding his motorcycle on the freeway at 100 mph...don;t let the wheelchair fool you...his neighbours say he was physically good and active

Some people evening turning in there neighbors because they think hes the rapist, talk about not liking your neighbor 😂😂

A movie should be made of this nightmare.

That investigator who came up with idea of GenMatch is brilliant, thanks to him so many cases have now been solved not just this one.

All credit should go to the Australian DNA genealogist that showed and help them solve this case in 4 months.

The Electric chair is the only solution to stop does criminals.

You got him Michelle!

Without Michelle Macnamara, holes would have had no suspect to look for. Patton Oswald’s wife is a hero

they said he was hung like a mouse😂😂 👮📢I was in the pool

Who has time to drink beer while committing a crime? Seems a little to weird for me!😕

what are they waiting for?? so he can live the rest of his life eating free food? put him down! he doesn't worth another breath!

Look at how incapacitated he looks in his orange jumpsuit. He is a former cop too. Wow!

I wish someone had said 'what if he is a cop or ex cop' and had a few cops checking it out (at least detectives).

My question is why

Make no mistake. He is the definition of evil people. This man's anger was only controlled buy him letting this steam off on his own time. He needed to have control and went to the extreme to get it.

The zodiac killer and the golden state killer cases are so similar

Cyanide laced poison... That's... Kind of redundant tbh...

Skip to 10:23 for the newer info on how he was caught.

Syanide laced poison??

It usually is a police officer or a military person who does these kinds of crimes, because they know how the police work.

Holes looks like the Marshall from Lost.

Correction: Michelle Mcnamera

I'm not sure you can punish someone who doesn't know where they are.

Omg imagine if he had stopped around 30 they never would’ve found him even with advance of technology

In his booking photo it appears he had some sort of band-aid on the top of his head, after viewing his court room appearance in the wheel chair you can see the top of his head has some freshly healed bloody scab! Perhaps there was some scuffle when the arresting officers grabbed him in his house.

Have Pepper Spray Gel close at hand...when you jog, in several locations in your home, on your keychain! Maybe a stun gun too! Don't be complacent about your safety!

If you study it, n d END u.d see some of his tactics, think or resemble some POLICE👮or law enforcement TRNG.s.. Enter HOMES.. unnoticed.. stealthy.. Knows each area.

What I don't get about the States is that if this had happened in Texas this guy would have been on death row. But because it happened in California he could end up with life imprisonment. I don't get it.

I would loooove to see his trophy cabinet.

Now he is caught!

All government employees have to be required to submit their DNA into the data bank. When they refuse you have to suspect wrongdoing.

I heard in the current affair that he killed and is charged for 13 murders but I heard 12 here.. What is going on... How can they mistake the number... So who is correct.??????

Yo I'm more concerned about if he participated in the defence protocols as a police officer.

People. Just buying guns doesn't mean you're safe. You must practice with it and have a plan of attack when someone breaks in.

Not sure about the calls.

Why the fuck did they mention the NFL? That was stupid. "All these deaths. Oh. And the NFL went through changes." The fuck? Way to downplay the victims. That was tasteless.

I believe he is also the zodiac killer. Same time frame and state. The golden state killer constantly changed his mo.

Who's the victim now? Lmao lol not me.

Why does this look like it was film in the 1990s

Michelle Macnamara com seu livro sobre o serial killer, Eu terei sumido na escuridão, ajudou a encontrar esse monstro, descobriram sua identidade, através de exames de DNA, e foi preso agora,em 2020,40 anos após seus crimes,É uma pena que a Michelle não viu a justiça sendo feita,pois morreu em 2016,tendo uma overdose de remédios pra,dormir,sem sequer terminar seu livro,que foi concluído por seus amigos, após sua morte trágica,.Parabéns Michelle, 😘😍❣💖💖🙏👏👏👏👏💄

No can we find Jack the RIpper ? So we can finally get some rest.

The horrible nature of his crimes must mean that the remainder of his life should be spent in a maximum security prison. These prisons are like hell on earth. Solitary confinement for 23 hrs a day and one hour in an exercise pen per day every day.

People say he couldn't be Zodiac because DNA..Well they didn't have Zodiac DNA to match!! Then they say he was overseas..Again WRONG!! Deployed in sept 64 back July 66 before Zodiac Murders started!! Then people say he didnt know the area..how the fuck do you that?? He has the exact MO..and his movement and actions were 100% the same!!I dont see any proof that it wasnt him

Sure took them a long time to catch him.

Throw the key away

Heather Simpson but he's still a cop! And that only happened because of the prefix they used to add to his last name haha! And remember: there are more dentists named Denise than Lawyers and more lawyers named Larry than Denise lmao!!

How in the name of God 10 people press thumbs down to such important information in this video???!!! Are you 10 people supporting rapists & killers? Are you OK if GOD FORBIDS this would have happened to you or your family??!!! SMH that people ignorance has no limits!!! PERIOD

Are they saying they had his DNA that whole time but they just didnt have a DNA match in their database?

He was a police officer. Amazingly will educated in law enforcement procedures and tied into every investigation. No wonder he got away with it.

It is my father never been caught

No one had dogs back than

Never heard of but couple from nor northeast

11:46 investigators are not revealing exactly how they finally got his DNA. In 60 minutes, they tell us they went through his trash and obtained it.

He must have hid the momentum he took somewhere. Need to find them bad. He would never part with them. He couldn't.

He is a gentle soul
