Why did Michelle die??????
Linda Parisi Defense Attorney
He is a disgusting individual. What makes his apology even more useless is the fact that he was rolled in to that courtroom like a feeble old man. Mouth open, hunched over in an attempt to garner even a tiny bit of sympathy. The DA then releases the video of him in his cell climbing around and exercising. Proof that his attempt to manipulate carries on to this very day and nothing has changed.
Obviously if he's raped 50+ women, and murdered 13+, his criminal thinking / behaviors aren't going to just stop because he is old
Oh damn, I didn't know that about him exercising in his cell! Ugh
He's a text book professional sociopath.
Remember he was a police so he saw people do this alot so it doesn't surprise me that he knows how to play these con game's
@@Wisdom-sl3ts You're absolutely right.
If I were a victim, I don't think I would give an impact statement. Criminals have no heart and I guarantee the majority of them delight in hearing these statements.
Understood. And yet, the statements are also an opportunity to give victims some closure. It is for them just as much as it is for the court.
I agree I wouldn't do it when my sister got murdered as ibhave nothing to fuking say to him at all
Impact statements don’t have to be directed towards the defendant… you can give an impact statement as a plea to the judge or jury to give them the max sentence/not show leniency.
I wouldn't want to either and I don't believe it gives anyone closure but those statements are for the judges ears. I would speak to the judge and make certain (s)he feels compelled to give the maximum.
This devil in a meat suit seems to be enjoying himself; you can see it around his eyes, even though the lower half of his face is covered.
It's an absolute nightmare to realize that people like this exist all around us...and they WANT to hurt us. It's so twisted and callous
It is but also so fascinating….. I’m obsessed with learning about these people
Evil is amongst us. The devil is not fictional.
@@pAusten ok sure if you define the devil as this guy
When I heard the phone call
I was like is that a child?!
Well, the chances of being a victim of someone like the golden state killer (a stranger). Is rare.
I love how he tried to play elderly and unable to do anything, then they had a hidden camera in his cell, and he was as spry and noble as a teenager!
Noble? I think you mean mobile...there is nothing noble about him at all.
I missed that?
maybe “nimble” 🤷♂️
either way: definitely NOT “noble”
You've got to wonder how many aged killers are out there, and how many that died , and never got caught.
I was thinking the very same thing. They are most certainly out there
Zodiac, for one. And then there are all the unidentifieds whose remains are listed in The Doe Network and NAMUS databases. Even when they're identified, the question remains: Who murdered them?
As many reading this know, there is that class of serial killers who roam, selecting their victims as need, urge and desire within them dictate.
It could be the president of your church, the Air Force Colonel, the tenured college professor, or the decent hardworking family man on your block.
love the police gloated , 40 damn years is no justice , he is old and lived his life . how many more he killed we will not know
Scary thought that's for sure.
Alot especially in our government
Of course when he gets brought to justice he starts this frail old man charade.
Lol..the facade...
And then they show him doing chinups in his cell!
Jus like Harvy Weinstein & Bill Cosby.
Don’t they all
He had no mercy on frail little children so why he expects mercy for his frail act-well, looks like he’s fooling no one.
It’s unreal that he got to live free for so long.
Michelle Myanmar kept revived interest and That detective is regarded as one of the finest to ever work in the field. He spent 10 years digging and digging and the technology evolved and he asked them to try this case with the familial DNA. This case changed numerous investigative procedures, and policies that showd them where they needed to evolve. Rape was only a misdemeanor when the first ones occured. As he was rampant, victims garnered support to change it the charge to be capital punishment. The ripple effects of these things are invaluably insurmountable. That said, "Justice delayed, is not justice denied."
Considering that the police caught him shoplifting telltale items, yeah it is unreal. They protected their own.
Some confess on their death bed...
Not always
One word: police
Wow. The fact that he did this for so long is CRAZY. Everyone involved needs a huge thank you. They made him pay for his past.
He was a cop. Would have been interesting to have some of his old colleagues interview but of course LAPD will never allow that.
Really easy to get away crimes back then. No cameras. No DNA.
Basically, you had to get caught in the act, witness or fingerprints.
If there is no final (eternal) justice, a few years in jail for an old man mean nothing.
Life without parole 😂😂🎉🎉
He can only pay, if with our dead not everything is over. Otherwise...? Nothing can heal all these wounds and bring the dead people back.
All of these survivors are just beyond amazing.
New Science and people applying it got him caught. He eluded for so long because he was once one of the people that were after him so he knew the ins and outs. The only thing none of them could predict is where technology would go in the future.
Two of them are very good friends with our family, before the rapes and still to this. God bless all of them though............. 🙏
Truly!! 🫶🏻👏👏👏
They love attention.
@@John-co8um cool story bro
I really love the way this version of this story is more about what an amazing woman Michelle was & not as much about what a monster he was.
I thought it was a bit weird. She had nothing to do with him being caught.
I think Michelle was also his victim.
@@bushmonster1702 Her book sparked interest in the Golden State Killer again, which then led him to getting caught
@@Earth2Natalie uh no
@@Earth2Natalie no not at all. He was caught through familial dna
It breaks my heart every time I see a victim, friend, or family member pouring out their anguish to a psychopath, justifiably devastated and outraged yet having no clue that their pain is spectacularly gratifying to the criminal.
It’s their “supply”,i agree.
As a widow, listening to Patton explain how his life was devastated when finding his wife dead.. I know that feeling all to well. I am so glad this episode focused on Michelle and not the killer
I hope you are okay, and enjoy life
He moved on pretty quick though.
His mean personality now makes a bit of sense
@voodoo child yeah his personality struck me as gross.
Michelle who exactly? What did she contribute to catch this killer? Nothing.
Got caught with few years left to live, and with 24 hour free government care. So frustrating.😠
you're hard pressed to get any care in a US prison tbh. they give you meat labeled as "not for human consumption" in the kitchen, you cant eat vegetarian without proving your Muslim, dental care only happens when you're screaming in pain, and it takes 6 months to schedule a hair cut. they also only get 1 hour out of their small cell every day. it's not an enviable position, rest assured.
They hit him on the head when he was taking the trash out when they apprehended him... when they didn't have to...
Remember BTK... they took him in without incident.
The night before he was apprehended Paul Holes the main detective who connected the EARONS cases was parked outside his house and he thought of questioning him.... run a rouse on him... about something unrelated ... but he didnt. Instead he just rode off in the sunset... D'Angelo must have been suspicious of the Cop Car parked outside though 😅😅😅
The amazing fictional character people made up turns out to be less depressing than reality though.
I actually lived near him when he was caught! Pretty much everything was normal, then my family and I heard a couple of sirens, and then a helicopter following them. Eventually it started circling by our house, and eventually we drove like 2 blocks to see what was goin on. We asked one of the cops what was goin on and he asked if we ever met the man, to which we said no but we've seen him outside his house a few times. Thats when the cop said that he's suspected to be the golden state killer. It was insane that I lived right by a man who's been wanted for so long
wow
That's crazy. I'm glad they finally caught him.
I couldn’t believe he was so close to us in citrus heights either shocking really
This is one of the true crime events that hunt me since I've heard of it. The fact that this individual lived his life to the fullest after destroying so many lives is blood boiling. Disgusting, sickening. No matter his age, he should be submited to torture, imo.
I agree
Not sure why they allowed him to plead guilty. They should have gone to court and sentenced him to death.
Yep and if read into details of so many of his crimes it's terrifying the worst I have read about so scary.
Behind bars is to good for him..that's all Amma say
Too bad he can't awake to some type of torture every day
His apology at the end is complete bs. he isn't sorry for what he did hes sorry because it landed him In jail where he belongs. My heart goes out to all the victims
i feel like he practically got away with it living free for 40years
He lived free for 72 a lifetime
Now bed tv hobbies food
All for free
Instead of victim statements , why not give 5 minutes to the victims or their families alone with this guy in a closed room , no cameras and let them exact their own justice
as a survivor myself i would NOT & WILL NOT ever let a thing like him have the twisted pleasure of knowing what effect they had on their victims
It's not about the perpetrator or how it's supposed to make them feel. It's about the victim getting closure and rediscovering their voice.
@@annalupton9284 i am a victim& survivor,that is how i feel and this is my voice! i can only speak for myself,if you are also a survivor and that works for you i respect you Anna for it
@@cynicalbimpact statements are for the judge and jury to hear, has nothing to do with the perp. It is to help the judge and jury give the harshest sentence possible.
This man lived 1.6 miles from my house. Absolutely terrifying that we used to walk through his neighborhood.
Scary.
SAME
Nice😂
I feel like victim impact statements are just giving the psychopath what he wants again. He should never be allowed to hear that.
Those statements are for the judge and jury not the criminal to make sure the extent of his actions are known so that he gets a harsher sentence
He is 72 . Sentencing him to prison is not punishment
Agree but is stil danger.Look at his Eyes?!Cold,without emotion.Scary
The opposite!
He thought hed die a free man..
But now,he,ll die in prison..
What's the difference how old he is?,he doesnt want to be in prison,and that's his punishment
@@user-rv1wf6sd4p I agree. A sociopath with his arrogance , with no control , suffers
I disagree, he thought he would never be caught and now he sits rotting in a jail cell.
Allot of mobsters are on record about not wanting to die in prison and I’m sure they sent him to a max security facility
We need to pray for Michelle's husband and daughter. It's tragic that she died so young.
He remarried only a year later
they're fine
@@hoofhearted5102 ok and? What does that have to do with anything?
@@hoofhearted5102 Honestly, it doesn't sit right with me. Too soon but that's his right.
@@kelly4618 Yeah, it seemed really quick to me too .... but as you say, each to their own
Lived in Contra Costa County when this was all taking place. I vividly remember my mother telling my brother and I that we would no longer be allowed to sleep in the back yard at night (in the summer, No one had AC in those days) we would not be allowed to sleep with the windows open and from now on we had to lock the doors even when we were home during the day. I remember thinking “Lock the doors when we are home??!!!” That’s crazy! I asked my mom when we could go back to “normal”. She said she didn’t know….. (she didn’t really tell us why, she just said the police are telling everyone that we need to make these changes at this time) she didn’t want to scare us. But we lived in the neighborhood that GSK was hitting.
I was 7 or 8. We used to get what we thought were crank phone calls where someone would whisper. We just hung up. But my parents did put up black iron bars on all of our windows. One day our dog cornered a man in our backyard. My mom called the police. They told her to lock all the doors and they were on their way. When they got there he was no longer there.
GSK really changed all our worlds. We lost the carefree life we had always known. To this day I always lock the doors and never sleep with the windows open.
I lived in San Ramon when he raped a women there. I was 16 I believe. It went from a very safe town to absolutely terrified people. So horrible. We eventually moved to Citrus Heights. I’m still in Ch and this filth lived 3 miles from us!!!! Shopped at the grocery store my husband worked at !!!! So mss as my stores from the staff there on how evil her was
❤❤❤
The thing is if he had wanted to he would have because his thing was to break in prior to his real attack and set the house up for the real attack. Steal ammo, leave a window ajar, just minor things that can be easily missed by the homeowner. Remember he was a cop so he knew what he was doing.
I am against the death penalty but this monster makes me feel otherwise. This guy got to live free all those forty years! And he was a cop that was supposed to protect and serve. The whole thing makes your stomach churn.
Why are you against death penalty
The main purpose of our government is to protect the sanctity of life. When an evil person violates the sanctity of life to such an extent that no punishment will provide justice; the death penalty is the only reasonable solution. The evil person loses their right to exist. There has to be an ultimate everlasting penalty for the worst evil in society. The death penalty is a humane punishment. Some criminals actually prefer the death penalty over life in prison.
@@xtronkillmaster2517 life imprisonment with creative torture everyday is better than death penalty.
@@texastea5686 that is a interesting question. At first I was all for the death penalty.but over the years i have watched some terrible miscarriages of justice. I think the stat is 1 in every 10 people sentenced to death is innocent!!! That is awful,imagine being killed for a crime you did not commit?!?! The trouble is the system can be manipulated by police and the justice system and that allows innocent people to basically be murdered by the state.i have watched some heartbreaking documentaries of the work that the brilliant work that the innocence project does in getting innocent people off death row and freedom.providing the evidence is 100% I am all for the death penalty ,especially for animals like deAngelo. Some monster do not have a right to live I understand that but the death penalty is complicated and very political.
@@YourMajesty733 it's a hard one but I would have to say I am against the death penalty overall.some people are just evil to the bone though and do not deserve to live for their evil crimes though.i suppose locking them up like a caged animal for the rest of their lives is more punishment. People for the death penalty seem to want to brush under the carpet the 1 in 10 sentemced to death are actually innocent? That is horrendous and means there is something wrong with the system.there is an argument that says capitol punishment is just revenge.
Even at old age and frail, D'Angelo looks huge. Can't imagine the terror he put his victims through. May his victims be free now that he's caught.
can you imagine how huge and scary he was in his prime if he looks like that now?
@@lisabradford8180 he was about 5'9 or 5'10, 190-200 lbs. No lightweight for sure, but not a giant. But he was in great shape being in law enforcement and I would imagine due to people's fear he probably looked bigger than he really was. Gregory Sanchez one of the victims put up a helluva fight was bigger than he was, he might have overpowered him had DeAngelo not had a gun. Some say that is the reason he did not attack anyone else for five years after that, because Sanchez put up such a fight it scared him into stopping. Of course without DeAngelo granting an interview, no way to know for sure if that is why he stopped for five years.
When stating his "guilty" pleas he seemed meek and weak but when giving his final comment he seemed to find his strength. Was trying to get off with a light sentence by seeming frail in the trail part.
No matter what, every single surviving victim will never truly live a normal life. Every person who gave a victims impact statement that claims they're survivors, they're doing great, or whatever are only truly lying to themselves deep down. That monster forever altered their lives and they know it no matter how much they claim they're living their best life or deny it. I'm sure not a day goes by they don't think about him. He still effects them in some way shape or form to this day.
And its harder to fight back when you're surprised...props to that guy who fought back. You just gotta be prepared for everything these days.
@5:30 what a wonderful husband! The way he described his wife, stole my heart.
WHAT ????.
OMG OMG
SMH
Thats how I'd talk about someone I offed, just to keep the focus off me.
I assume you’re talking about Payton and his late wife Michelle?
@@Videosuperfuntimes well, you might be on to something there. But, why would this guy off her?
Hemorrhagic stroke immediately came to mind. How tragic, and yet her work and life were so meaningful!
Felt so bad for the lady who, as a teenager, had words with her mother. I carry that guilt too, with a sister I lost after not trying to help. I have tried to find peace and forgiveness of myself and hope that lady finds it too
The crazy thing is that fight with her mother probably saved her life. If she didn’t run away from home she might have been a victim as well
My heart breaks for you.
There is a wonderful God who loves you. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life”. The Bible also says “God is close to the broken hearted”. He so loves you. I will be praying for you
As a victim, I could NEVER stand before him and tell him how badly he destroyed me, how I was broken or lived my life in fear.
THATS exactly WHAT he WANTS to hear. That’s why he committed the crimes. He’s a narcissistic sociopath. Hes never going to be truly sorry despite how badly you say he hurt you! You’re making his wet dream come true by recalling your torture and allowing him to relive it. I GUARANTEE he has a smirk under his mask & a tingle in his scrub bottoms just watching & listening to them all cry!
I could NEVER give him that satisfaction, that PLEASURE! I just couldn’t! I’d force myself to lie & laugh in his face. I’d rather demean him by saying I could barely remember the attack because his performance was anything but memorable to say the least. I’d be cynically empathetic & say, I almost understand why he rap£d me & had to tie down women & young girls to get laid, It was the ONLY way someone like him could get with a female. I’d be ashamed to show my face if I were you, too. I mean, one thing all of us know is you certainly weren’t blessed with a whole lot below the belt. At least you didn’t ruin me for any REAL MEN after the attack. Honestly , ive had more memorable foreplay. Of course that’s all BS, but I could never never give him what he wants willingly. To see my pain. The only reason he apologized was to try & get right w God because his days are numbered. Their tears didn’t hold him accountable. A narcissistic sociopath doesn’t have the ability to be sorry.
Natalie : I so much agree. I don`t see the sense in impact statements. Bc an offender like him ( and most others ) don`t care about the victims and their relatives at the first place....It`s only giving him another chance of being in the center of attention. Another chance to satisfy his sadistic urge for seeing ppl suffer. I never would give any offender this chance.
I agree with so much..I had x phycopath type personality and compulsive Lier, who Abused me over and over 24 years of it...lied all over playing victim, when he was who attacked me and Abused me with his anger and rages inflicting PTSD from TOXIC abuse..what happens in the dark will come out to the light no one can mock Jeh God and be blessed they reap what they sowed in due time..
@@fredajordan5704 Exactly. Thank you for understanding my comment. I was sure people were going to think I was being insensitive to the victims. That NOT at all my intention. To me, the victim impact statement gives the perpetrator one last time to go back to the scene of the crime. Only this time, he gets to relive his assault through the eyes of the victim. A dream come true.
I just don’t understand why it’s encouraged or why a victim would ALLOW themselves to be vulnerable in front of their attacker again? It’s like allowing the bully see you cry. Hes just going to laugh at you louder.
No, I can’t speak for surviving an attack by a serial killer. (That I’m aware of) I can say I survived an attack by a complete stranger. It was absolutely horrifying. I gave cops info they needed and that’s it. If they eventually find him & he turns out to be a serial anything, i will testify only facts in court. My testimony would be only to put him behind bars. I wouldn’t dream of giving an impact statement. The idea of giving him that satisfaction, pleasure, a safe return to the crime scene repulses me. I would rather get held in contempt of court for being stoic, maniacally smirking at him… trying to belittle him. I don’t understand why any women would want to willingly give them pleasure after Hes already forcibly stolen it from them? He doesn’t care if today you can finally call yourself a survivor or thriver. Hes a psychopath/sociopath. He knows you wouldn’t be there if you weren’t still suffering in some way. Hes loving every word they say. They’re unaware they’re being victimized again.
I agree with you that he'd get a thrill out of some of those victim statements but also note that the one victim/woman who was a nurse told him off and said how she successfully finished school the same year of her attack and went on to have a successful military career and a great life while he was just a loser who ended up in a cage.
Kk
I did not realize that so many of his victims were children!!
That shocked me too as I read Larry Cromptons book. Quite a few were under 16.
You can tell the way Patton lights up about talking about Michelle and how hurtful it was talking about her death. It must’ve been so difficult and painful for the family to watch her to try to get justice for the victims and survivors. Michelle brought in so much into this case, trying to shed light to the unsolved murders and rapes. I never knew much about this case and how brutal, violent, and terrifying his crimes were disgusting. The fact that he did this for pleasure is disgusting.
Michelle basically sacrificed her life to get this guy. The drugs she ingested was to cope with all of this. I'm just so glad he got caught and her pain wasn't in vain.
Sadly, looking at his face and particularly his eyes, he looks like he is enjoying reliving the experiences as the survivors are giving their victim impact statements. This man is a total monster

I am still angry they allowed him to play like an old weak man by using a wheelchair when he was all over his vell climbing up and down to the upper bunk and doing exercises!
May all these incredible and strong women find peace.
It would appear to me he did get away with it. The guy lived a full life and didn't get caught until he was almost 80 years old. Judging by the trial footage he doesn't care whatsoever what happens now.
Yeap, don't know why they gave him a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.
How sorry was he? Never turned himself in. That's the best measure of how sorry he was.
What really gets me is the pain caused to so many people just to commit an act that excites someone. They steal someone's opportunity to ever feel safe again. Make them feel like no one would want them now cause they're "damaged". Make a father feel like he failed to protect his child. A mother to have nightmares about her child being abused. Life's ruined over a sick thought that arouses a person. If a person can't help being sick and having deranged thoughts they don't have to act on it. I can feel how bad it hurts for these people and it makes me hurt with them cause i know how I'd feel if it happened to someone i loved. I just hope there's a heaven so one day they don't have to hurt anymore....
Im guilty as a "True Crime" slueth due to "Seeing" it as-or right after- it happens. What criminals are not prepared for are intuitive (like Michelle) & phsycic investigations. Combined with new technology they're done!
Beautifully said. I feel deeply for all of the victims and the families....People tend to memorialize a killer and forget the people whose lives they destroyed. I appreciate your effort to paint the whole picture of how this man ruined the lives of his victims and their loved ones. This man completely destroyed and devastated so many people. I could only hope that in his lonely prison cell that he feels the excruciating pain that he caused. And if there is an afterlife I hope that he suffers in such a way that no human-being could even fathom.
Soulsuckers.... the world is full of them!
I wish there was more people like you. The damage thing is true + it is not fair... victim's don't act like victim's because they don't want to be defined by abuse... It makes it complicated to discuss so most just don't.. So other's speaking on behalf are always heard + appreciated.
@@jamesjustice8711 True that! In the USA prisons, the death penalty would have been easier. He will end up used, abused, & some man's B*tch
And then there was the journalists who helped piece together the crimes of John akroyd, who is deceased.
Thank to all who have helped solve any of these cases, helped generate interest in a case that ran cold, or generally helped the victims and/or their families. Thanks and you deserve way more than that for the effort you put into them!
❤️❤️🙏🙏
Edited for accuracy.
I live in sw washington which killer are you talking about ? The happy face killer?
I mixed it up actually. I meant to come back and fix that so thank you! The doc I was thinking of was the ghosts of highway 20. And they didn’t actually catch the guy they thought it was (John ackoyd) cuz he had died. I think that’s why I remembered them catching him. Cuz in truth, he still can’t hurt anyone else, as it would be if he had been alive.
And also the journalists involved in that series did bring awareness and tied up many loose ends in some of the murders. The way they link the series of events and show how they can tell it was probably him. Like him moving towns and they could show how the victims also changed locale.
Anyway I apologize for the confusion!
@@cameronhenke593 o OO oq
Amen, Amen!!! 🙏❤✌
He seems as he really doesn't care. Why would he? He's been a free murderer for 40 years. Living his life in his prime years. I'm sure he's happy he doesn't have to work, has shelter and 3 meals a day. Taxpayers are paying his retirement years unfortunately 🙄

There is no cure for a psychopath...only to keep them separate from society, he has no remorse, guilt, shame, or empathy for his victims and the things he has done
True, absolutely hopeless.
If anyone ever wondered if the bogeyman actually exists, show them this story. Absolutely chilling…
O I agree..I live in the Caribbean and even now I'm scared..not taking anyone for granted
Okay steve.
I lived in Citrus Heights at the time that he got caught. I hope all the survivors can live life a little better knowing that he can no longer hurt anyone.
Me too. I lived in the neighborhood right next to his
They said they encountered the maniac when they were teens, now they re all grey hair old women. It took too long for police to find him. Keeping in mind the majority of victims encountered him and survived, so they knew how he looked. How police is so incompetent amuses me

For each one that gets detained there is probably a multitude more still out there. 😢 There is a psycho on the loose in my area right now. It’s scary. The Mayhem will never stop as long as there are human beings.
DNA is a beautiful thing. It captured the Golden State Killer and now the Long Island Killer, and has released so many people innocently imprisoned people.
The dna in Long Island killer could match 11,000 people halo dna on hair without root is not as accurate as you think the smoking gun in Long Island case is cell phone data
Because people don’t understand DNA, their ignorance about it has been used to get guilty people like the Central Park Five deemed innocent and they have profited greatly from their crimes.
This is one of the most disturbing cases I’ve heard about. It really sucks it took them 42 years to get this pos. He’s 72 and he’s like idc I’m gonna die soon. Is it really justice? I’m glad these victims can finally sleep at night. Knowing he will never come back.
He lived just a few streets away from me. Always used to walk by his house before being caught. Never suspected a thing.
Really!? That’s crazy man.
Bruh it seems like 25% of these comments are neighbors
At the age of 72, he will have all the care he needs in prison, just like in a nursing home. Not that he got away with all those crimes, but he was rewarded.
He'll get better than our own veterans at the VA hospitals.
Serial killers should always get mandatory death sentence. No messing around for years. Disgusting that he is still alive.
Michele's book "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" is truly a work of art and great empathy. Simply wonderful.
Michelle McNamara deserves such a huge respect here, she brought us here to us, she in a way pressured police and everyone in charge to persue him, to step up.
Also Patton Oswald for not giving up on his late wife's wish to capture him and to bring him to justice.
Thank you Michelle 💔
Patton Oswalt killed her
Michelle had nothing to do with solving this case.
@@jewbego5323 she was pushing this case into media and everything. I didn't say she sloved it, she just put pressure on police to do better.
@@mihaelajukic1314 Give us a break. She wasn't needed by law enforcement. Too bad what her husband did to her. RIP :(
@@jewbego5323 It's so obvious Patton is responsible.
I feel lucky I survived the 70's & 80' there were so many serial killers during that time period!!!!!!!
I don't understand these filthy criminals. How can they demand the death penalty be taken off the table?
I Cann't understand the prosecutors can accept that negotiation.
So at the end we discover that a detective who'd been hunting him for over twenty years decided to upload his DNA to a genealogy website, and caught him. All that time spent on the emotional stuff about the woman who who was interested in crime, and her husband who completed the book was completely irrelevant.
Exactly. Michelle macnamara did nothing to help solve this case. She's always inclluded because of the celebrity aspect. The book she wrote was God awful. It was terrible. You could tell multiple ppl wrote it. It was not good
Agree, some writer addicted to pills has nothing to do with the hardworking detectives.
Omg I was thinking she solved something or ended up being one of his victims.. Wow.
@@lemmonlife4056 I kept waiting to hear that too.. I hought she was a victim. She had nothing to do with this story
I think she brought more attention to the unsolved murders with her blogs and upcoming book and also giving him the moniker, The Golden State Killer, that stuck in the public's mind. And when there's more attention brought to it, the police work harder to get it solved.
What on earth is the point in these victim statements? We don't have those in Europe. These criminals don't give two hoots about how you or your family have suffered - if anything, they're proud of it. That creep was listening to his life's work - a great retrospective.
Facing him, maybe their closure.
First off it is voluntary. Secondly it is for the judge and jury, notice before they start reading they address the judge not DeAngelo. It is used to help the jury and judge impose the harshest sentence possible.
Just think of how satisfying it is for this murderer to get to see and hear a line of women get up there and recount how he controlled and violated them and how he single handedly affected their entire lives.
If I was a victim there’s no way I would even go to court - I wouldn’t care enough to even go much less give him the satisfaction of eating me blather away about how he stole my innocence or ruined my childhood. What a ridiculous thing to do.
Facts! These guys enjoy the fact that people are suffering still. This guy, BTK and others get off on knowing they ruined people's lives. The level of spite they exhibit is otherworldly. The best punishment for them, other than death, is cutting them off completely from the outside world.
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 Or use them for scientific human experiments
If you notice before reading the statements they address the judge, not the criminal? That is because impact statements are meant for the benefit of the judge and jury not the criminal. It is so all his crimes are public record. And some people find closure in it. It is voluntary.
He loves every minute of hearing All The torcher he put them through
I PRAY THAT SOMEONE GETS TO THIS MAN IN PRISON AND GIVES HIM SOME "EYE-FOR-AN-EYE" JUSTICE.
👁️
Why? Is your life so empty that you need that to feel whole?
Muhahahaa 🎃
@@ThirstyEye - why not? He deserves it.
@@ThatsabigfatNo Not necessarily saying he does not "deserve" it. Just saying that I get angry too, but....
I find it unnerving how excitedly righteous some get with a thirst for revenge. Friends or immediate family? OK, I get that because you ARE emotionally invested. But for random strangers to crave vigilante justice? I just find that odd. I think the average politician is more destructive and to fixate on random killers is shallow.
I love the opening soundtrack of 48 hours and the way the editors sync it with the lightning and the flickering lights!
I'm soooo proud of the VICTORIOUS survivors!!
That old man act was just that an act the way he stood up an gave his last statement was of a man much younger than her was pretending to be, so pleased for the survivor's..
Continue prayers for all of the survivors they are very strong to be able to get up there and face this whatever he is sad that the devil was inside him.
The DNA research was absolutely the way he was found. The extra investigation done for a book was a subplot that might make the thing a bit more interesting because the celebrity and her death is a way to tell the story via one basic narrator.
I hope that you will do some other serial killer videos. You put so much into your research, love all the detail you give. And I have watched too many others to be able to give a number but, I think you give more details than anyone else I have watched over the last few years. I Thank you so very much for your superb dedication to your channel.
Has he spoken or is he still baffled that technology caught up with him? He’s such a piece of work. I feel sorry for his family.
That’s what bugs me I don’t know how they never knew about what he was doing but I guess he was that bad so they might have been afraid of him to even ask
@@ji8698 It was probably pretty darn easy for them not to know what he was doing. Have you even heard of the BTK killer??? Go do some research and get back with me. Your response will be most likely..."AHHH...NOW I GET IT!"😅
@@bradleywalker4575 no I wasn’t talking about the Name I was talking about how they never noticed that this guy would go out and do this and sometimes won’t be back home soon enough but I didn’t realize he was a cap and a killer at the same time
@@ji8698 Also, you have to remember that investigative technology has drastically evolved since what it was in the 60s and 70s.
He probably stopped caring. The BTK Killer was smirking in court.....These killers relish in getting one over on others, even if it includes the unspeakable. This is why other inmates want to get to them.

She didn't have to tell us that. That was brave and honest of her and I think you can tell that she's a good person. She wasn't to know what would happen bless her ❤️
No mention of Cece Moore who was the lady who found out wo he was.
The women’s telling this killer how much he ruined their lives is exactly what he wants.
You guys keep letting him win.
The impact statements is for the benefit of the judge and jury not the criminal. Notice before they start reading they address the judge, not the jury. And reading impact statements is voluntary so they agreed to do it.
Somehow the stacked plates on the back thing is just so diabolical.
Freaks me out too
He’s getting off on all these victim’s tales of fear and terror …….they should submit their impact statements without him in the courtroom. And, no…..I don’t believe he’s sorry for his crimes….he’s sorry only that he was caught.
I agree. I think the victims do it for themselves, but really just enrich the perv. He gets to add new material into his demented mind.
I will never forget when she died. He was so devastated, and he tried so so hard to do right by her. The way he talks about the cinders of his life, it gets me every time.
I don’t get why torture isn’t a punishment for cases like this
When there’s actual proof
Exactly.
Because in practice the "when there's actual proof" part would sometimes get ignored, just as it sometimes does for capital cases.
cuz that would make them just as barbaric as the killer... justice is done, let it go
Solitary confinement for life is the answer.
It took 40 years to catch him, so quit patting yourselves on the back. He outsmarted all of you! Americans are so full of themselves.
No one felt like they did a stellar job. Just enjoy TH-cam for iPhone and relax.
I have no idea how its possible that he committed that many crimes & he wasnt in prison until recently...but what comforts me is that we all know very well how prisoners treat rapists in prison. It's his time to suffer terribly now.
cuz the DNA caught up with him recently🤦♂
This is one of the most scary stories I've ever heard. 48 hours knows how to tell a story like no other.
There are so many good crime shows and ever since i was a child i have absolutely loved unsolved mysteries forensic files America's most wanted and all the other 80s and 90s shows that we all grew up on.. but i just love the way 48 hours puts a story together..
Damn, that guy was already circling the drain by the time he was convicted. That life sentence must have felt so hollow to the victims knowing he's probably only going to spend a few days in prison before he dies.
Sometimes justice is just legal acknowledgment of what you went through.
Around 1978 I was parking on a lover's Lane with my boyfriend. We were getting it on and kind of lost contact with our surroundings if you know what I mean. He and I were in the throes of sex all of a sudden this extremely bright light shown on us from the passenger window into the car. We didn't even have clothes on. We were frozen like deer in the headlights just stunned by that light and I looked up behind the light it was a damn cop! And the way he was grinning I knew he had stood there and watched us until the perfect moment when we were done! I yelled you pervert and got agitated so he opened the door and took control of us told us to get out of the car. Acted like he was going to arrest us for something. We were young and scared submissive and a shame we got caught doing that of course that's what he loved. He ordered my boyfriend to leave the scene when he did then he made me get in his car with him a police car! I think they call this false imprisonment. He took me to my parents house a few blocks away knocked on the door and told my mom and dad he caught me having sex! I was in my early twenties! So he was just a predator pervert just like Joseph D'Angelo even used the flashlight to perv on and stun people under color of law. I can't understand how these cops couldn't figure out it was a cop because this is pretty common behavior. After this happened to my boyfriend and I there in the same town they cop went on trial for shooting a young couple on a lover's Lane and putting their bodies in the trunk! It could have been the same guy I should have reported him! He was acquitted! Although they found the weapon in his attic later. This kind of behavior is not unusual. And they always like to use shame and victim blaming, sex to shut you up. It reminds me of that case in Canada of the really high ranking military officer the commander of a base that was a serial killer. He broke in and killed a lady and took her vibrators left a note that said all the judge will love this like she's some kind of low woman you know that's what they do use shame
I think that it’s illegal to have sex in a public place so having sex in a car parked in a public place is illegal. You’re lucky that the cop only took you home and sent your boyfriend away. The cop probably could have arrested you both. I think it’s called indecent exposure.
I also think that you need some mental help because your attitude about the situation that you caused is immature and irresponsible and indicates that you’ll continue doing things like this and possibly even worse in the future. Get help.
@@JW-pb8fg you're missing the point dude. The guy was a predator a pervert like Joseph D'Angelo
I agree. Someone did know something about this sicko, but they didn't get the Police involved. Could've saved all those lives. Mist Police are useless also.
Thanks so much for the full episodes but please add more!! 🙏🏼👍
when will people understand?
when survivors give their monologue to him in the courtroom, he DOES NOT care .
Its totally pointless.
He even enjoys that.
Impact statements aren’t for the criminals benefit it is for the benefit of the judge and jury, notice before they start reading the address the judge not DeAngelo. It is to show the impact he had on their lives and to help in imposing the harshest sentence possible. Plus they used it to humiliate him by mentioning how tiny he is.
Alot of us woman love true crime, it's addicting watching true crime videos.
All these women that went through this are so courageous their spirits were broken at such an early age God bless them
That man is a monster without a conscience. How did not the people living close to him suspect that something was wrong with him?
OMG I'm so sorry for your loss. She was an amazing women and touched many lives.
The phone call sounds like a joke from a spoof movie like "Scary Movie 4" I would have a hard time not laughing if I received that call on the phone, I'd be like "alright Rob, is this you?"
What a nugget to have strayed into these documentaries. I love the narratives and investigative approach without the graphic gory splash.
I know the victims want to have closure by confronting their attacker in court but unfortunately it probably only serves him by getting to relive the memories.
Monsters like these make you wish mob justice would be in effect.. at this age he’s basically getting away with so many years of criminal acts
"mob justice" is nonsense
To me every Law enforcer should have their DNA taken at enrollment, maybe that way there is a deterrent. We hear too many stories of Police becoming, serial killers/rapists, Ted Bundy for example. My heart goes out to all the victims. God Bless them. 😥😥
Ted bundy wasn't a police officer
@@Ais-eb9bk No sorry he was not, but he did work alongside the Police at a crisis center!
im so sorry to hear of the loss of Michelle. 😭
She herself was a victim of homicide.
@@jooson2826 what
She was addicted to opioids and died from an accidental overdose.
What a sick individual! And to think he was a cop! Thank God for DNA technology! Although justice was served Wished it had happened much earlier? Lives could of been saved!
Bertha you would definitely be surprised of how many sick cops there are out there. I'm not saying that at all about the ones who are truly great. But in my years, I personally have known things and been involved in the lives of people in authority that I wouldn't trust to leave my pet with. And I was told by one of them that THIS IS HOW IT IS IN THIS BUSINESS. I'll never forget that. He also said there is more money made in death than life.
Lots of perps are probably crapping their pants with advances in DNA no doubt.
@@emilyflotilla931 Oh yes. And it's so nice to see little by little dead or alive them be exposed.
Gives meaning to "what is done in the dark, will come to light" amen 🙏
but of course he was a cop, this is the personalities that seek out that type of jobs, this is a know fact
This is correct. An untrained sick mind might steal wood from a railway track. An educated/trained sick mind will steal the whole track with train.
KIller was soulless and was like "oh hey i got caught. finally I can go to jail. oh wait, let me give a statement and pretend im sorry"
Patton Oswalt has become a fantastic role model for family, grief and loss, and not rejecting love. May Michele’s memory be a blessing.
The man's half dead and was doing a plea deal to take the death penalty off the table? Most people sit on death row 10 plus years...
Im 50 now and have watched crime/muder documentaries for the last 35 years.in that time I have watched alot as you can imagine.but what struck me about this cold hearted animal was the part where it said residents were saying oh he doesn't attack where there is a dog or some man at the local town hall stood up and said he's too cowardly to attack when a man is there.but this sicko just seen that as a challenge. Also the way he stayed in the victims properties hours after attacking them??? Hard to imagine someone wanting to stay around after attacking/raping someone but to stay hours and help themselves to food just shows the depravity from this coward and the sheer terror the victims must have felt probably for the rest of their lives.
Exactly. Most men would completely destroy him, of course he was afraid. But when it comes to sleeping, everyone is vulnerable. Large dogs are you best ally and friend
This maniac and Juan Corona were both operating in the area when I was young. I remember the fear and cautions then. Those poor victims.🕊 Great investigative work.
It’s weird how they didn’t bring up that Patton is the one who gave us wife the “prescription” drugs (not prescribed to her)that she ODed… and then remarried a year later.
Damn, super suspicious
Yeah that’s a felony to give someone med not prescribed to them in ma
Yes, this
I recommend to listen to 'Evil has a name'. It's an indepth audio book based on Michelle McNamaras research, with interviews from Paul Holes the leading investigator in this case.
They need to reinvestigate Patton and make a 48hrs doc on him. Married 18 months after first wife dies. WTH? Shady as hell!
And who gave her those rx drugs? Everyone knows. It’s not a secret anymore
Torturing before death penalty should be done for crimes like this. Otherwise the criminals would never get scared. And thanks to science, nowadays it's so easy to get caught
God bless that detective that got emotional because of how much she cares to solve these crimes n get justice for victims.
But he did get away with it. For his entire life. He did as he pleased. Destroyed family over family over family. His actions will be felt through generations to come and he managed to get busted when he was a decrepit old man with nothing left to live for and now the state will pay for his housing and meals until be dies. To me that looks like getting away and I am so upset, this is a meager if any form of justice.
