The Original Night Stalker (Part One: East Area Rapist)
ฝัง

- In the mid-1970s, a mysterious intruder known as the Visalia Ransacker began to terrorize families in Visalia, California. Eventually, his crimes escalated to attempted kidnapping, resulting in the deaths of one man and a near-shootout with police. Shortly thereafter, a criminal known as the East Area Rapist would surface in Sacramento, creating a terrifying legacy that persists to this day.
Part one of three.
Written, hosted, and produced by Micheal Whelan.

Crazy watching this now after DeAngelo was caught. I started watching this podcast 1 year before his arrest for these crimes. Most informative podcast about GSK to date in my opinion. Great job.
Resolved ex-cop Joseph James DeAngelo
I’m glad it’s resolved now the victims of the rapist and killer now have closure
I started listening to this a few nights ago and I'm already through almost all the episodes. LOVE IT. Thank you for putting so much effort into this, it's my favorite podcast by far!!
He has done a great job so far! I've also listened/read through all of them in a few days.
Before you criticize the production value on this episode, please realize it was his first episode and first attempt. Everything from his Long Island serial killer episode series forward is quite professionally done. Less breaks, better pacing, better audio quality, same awesome research and approach.
That said, I wish Michael would have waited to do the EAR/ONS until now, because his current episodes are fuckin banging and on point.
@@Holy_hand-grenade yes he's approved a whole lot.
This 3 part series is utterly riveting. You have done an amazing job, and I love the music, the drama, the tension. Thank you, excellent work here!
I'm going to recommend your channel! I think you deserve as many subscribers as possible. Thank you for these amazing podcasts, they are well researched and very well written. You have a new fan in me.
Thank you, Michael, for your efforts. Presenting quality information for FREE is a real public service. I cannot criticize anything about this because I've never done a podcast and I would bet none of the armchair critics in the comments have either. So, kudos to you.
By now, we have the GSK in a cell, where he will remain for the rest of his life. This is totally satisfying.
Excellent job. Even the music fits perfectly.
Still amazes me someone can get away with 80 b & e's, 50 rapes, 13 murders, leave so many (admittedly often probably deliberately contradictory) clues, and still evade identification!
And that's only the REPORTED shit! Luck of the devil, as they say, and the cops making dumb mistakes.
Don't know why this hasn't got more views???
+Hellwig64275 - Thanks for the compliments! I do appreciate them... still working on improving a lot of things about the podcast, but can't blame a lot of people for being deterred by the subject matter.
But I totally agree about your points, it's absolutely insane that the EAR/ONS was never even identified, with all of the evidence he left behind. He was seen by victims and witnesses MULTIPLE times, struck communities that weren't overly large, and left an amazing amount of DNA evidence behind. It's really just astounding that karma hasn't even reared its ugly head at him... DNA connected him as the two separate criminals, but was unable to find out who he is.
All we can really do is hope that the DNA testing eventually leads investigators to a family member, or at least a distant relative of his someday. That would be HUGE, and incredibly eliminate the suspect pool.
But thanks for the kind words and the support, Hellwig! =D
he is a cop
@Twilight living huh?!
Today, April 25, 2018 the killer was arrested. In the beginning of this podcast the killer can be heard saying "I'm gonna kill you" while a police radio is heard in the background. The killer was a cop.
Listened to this series twice. Just something about it, man.
This sob truly offends me with his brazenness. He needs to go down
An arrest has been made in the Visalia Ransacker case!!!!
What an excellent podcast indeed! You have really captured the essence of this case. I can't wait to listen to parts 2 and 3. I would also like to see you do a podcast on other (unsolved) cases. You are a wonderful story teller 10 out of 10 for your effort.
+stellaashker1 - Thank you so, so much! I hope that you enjoy(ed) parts 2 & 3, as well as episodes 4/5 (which are a bit different, but still interesting IMO).
I definitely plan on doing many more podcasts, and hopefully ramping up production as 2016 goes along. But thanks for taking the time to listen, I appreciate it! =D
We did it bro! They got him!
This is the most terrifying story. So glad this guy is finally arrested!
I just read they made an arrest of an ex-cop regarding this case. It reminded me of your chilling podcast series. Update episode when you get time dude.
Just discovered your podcast and I'm loving it. Very well spoken, well-produced and well laid out. The EAR/ONS case is a complex odyssey that is hard to encapsulate, but you did a good job. Keep it up!
+browland1 - Thank you so much! I know that I made a few small factual mistakes with this episode, but the EAR/ONS is such a huge, well-documented case that it's a surprise a suspect hasn't been found yet. Hopefully one day soon.
But thank you for the kind words and the support, hope you enjoy all of the episodes I've put out thus far!
+The Unresolved Podcast Given the spiderweb of information you need to sift through, factual mistakes are bound to happen. Heck, inconsistencies are rife among sites, articles and TV shows that have covered this case over the years. I enjoyed listening to your take on the case and it's good that more people are keeping interest alive. This guy needs to be found and held to account for his crimes.
I look forward to listening to more of your episodes!
+The Unresolved Podcast You should look up The Monster Of Florence, that one would be very interesting, a true European mystery.
I like the Robert Picton case as I lived their and a round poco while it happened my mom dad and aunties have partied at his farm and the piggie palace and what's most believed here is the hells angels used him to dispose of bodies as well as him killing because 48 or 49 victims in that short period is to amazing plus a jaw bone found on his property linked to a skull found 2 towns over in mission why idk is their more no one knows but Picton himself says the truth never came out and if he was able to go on stand he would have told all as he wasn't alone 15 so called friends were involved as he says I want the fucking truth
Still the best coverage of this case to this day.
just discovered your podcast, absolutely love it. Better than anything on my podcast apps. Super excited to listen to all the rest of your stuff! Top notch!
They finally arrested him! Joseph James DeAngelo, 72 years old.
Finally solved April 24, 2018 . The guy was a cop.
I really like the fact you cover unsolved cases. It's important that there's a public awareness of these cold cases. I can only imagine what the victims families go through, not at least getting justice. I also must admit that I find true crime in general fascinating, especially cases involving unsolved serial killers. This case is very intriguing and I agree that it's surprising he was never caught. The guy definitely had luck on his side. The fact there's been no dna or other evidence match, plus the close calls he had. What else can you chalk it up to?
The intro with the boy running to his moms room.....HAUNTING. WOW
Had momma had a firearm. Nightstalker's reign of terror would've ended as quickly as it began.
Your channel is my absolute favorite dude. Keep it up !!!!
He sounds like a kid with his squeaky voice.
Holy crap, this is really good. Super unsettling, and very well written.
I discovered your podcast today and I'm amazed how good it is! Thanks for doing this, I'm going to binge listen to all of the episodes.
Second time giving this a listen. And it’s worth it.
Great job on the podcast, much insight into his warped mind. The Sac area was terrified, esp East Sacramento. For some reason, the 'I'm going to kill you' recording doesn't really scare me that much? Pisses me off. We got lots of calls like that in the 70s. I'm sure there are many more victims of his crimes.
How in the hell do these videos get 50 dislikes? This podcast is top notch. You got me as a fan and sub. I have spent a small fraction of my life listening to your podcast. Thank you for all the hard work.
You did a phenomenal job on this!!!!
even after we know who this killer is, I'm still learning details i haven't heard in other investigative videos. and ive done my research. good stuff.
One of the best Podcast series on the GSK I've listened to....Great Job !!
This is a Terrific podcast! I 1St became acquainted w-the EAR-ONS from A&E in 2003. Thank you for your hard work on this. I assure you that your not alone in your interests in these terrifying crimes. They scare me, but yet I still find myself listening. Thanks again, I watch and read alot of true crime Docs and books. Even though you say your a beginner, your a Natural! Great Job!!!
He is doing great work with his podcasts, let's try to get him many subscribers as he surely deserves it.
hermafroditt Absolutely, I'm going to find out today how I can make a monthly donation. I've never been to his actual Website, just listened to all of his podcasts. I subscribe to over 50 true crime podcasts and he,s right up at the very best going right now, he's in the same class as "Sword & Scale and True Crime Garage! He's a natural!! I think he's going to be HUGE!!!
I actually discovered him through his website, it is worth a visit as he puts out his podcasts in writing. I have read them for days now. They are excellent.
hermafroditt Thank you very much for the info, I'm glad to connect with another person who loves "The Unresolved Podcast". And thanks for letting me know he had a new website. Have a Happy New Year!!!
Likewise, my friend :)
Relistening to this and realizing you used the same outro music for the Joseph James DeAngelo reveal! Well done.
anyone know about this... If DNA can be used to identify this guy, would it be possible to identify a relative of his? does the dna database show "possible relative" if it cant find an exact match? Lets say his cousin or brother has their dna in the system, would we be able to see that they are related?
sfgmanCA
yes
WildChild C
and....? have they tried it? also wanna know if anyone has heard about doing a dna composite cgi? an image created by software/computer based on dna. thanks for anything u guys put out to cause more interest and progress to solving these crimes.
this is literally how they found him!
Wow dude, you were spot on...
Spot on brother!!
love your podcasts! you can tell you really put a lot of effort in to them!
this 5 a truly unique case. I want to see this unknown subject to be caught. mick.love the details that u have reacearched into this. AMAZING. 😑
This is incredibly well researched and done podcast. I learned really new things, and I thought I knew a lot.
Your work is amazing, i thoroughly enjoy each podcast you make. Please know the unresolved podcasts work does not go unnoticed.. favourite channel .
This is a very good series. Well told and very informative.
+Holiness of the Bride - Thank you very much! I don't get around to checking YT comments all that often (I apologize), but I do appreciate every one of them.
My prediction is that once the ball gets rolling you will reach many, many more subscribers to your channel. This is amazing work on your part. Thank you so much.
Fantastic work and absolutely terrifying.
He was caught!!!! Happy day for the victims
Like my 4th time watching this. Listening*
Love it. Thanks for the upload. All 3 are nicely done.
I love your podcast. It is Captivating and intriguing .
Great job! My absolute favourite podcasts. :)
Amazing job
+Luis Coley - Thank you so much, Luis!
This podcast is great; it's informative and dramatic. Great job, I totally enjoyed it.
why have i not heard of this guy until 2017?!?!?! And why is there so little info about these unbelievable events? why? This guy was in an area of sacramento for years! were lookin for a white male, 25-35, with blue eyes, displays odd behavior, coming and going at all hours of the day, talking to himself, he possibly has a dog, drinks coors in a can, drove a green chevy and he lives in (this area of the city). Did authorities give any similar descriptions to the public? It seems like the public had no clue what to look for.
sfgmanCA Well to begin with, The Sactown cops asked the media to sit on the first couple rapes for over a week. So he was already 2 rapes in and he has already had a headstart. This guy also offended until he felt it was too hot, changed jurisdictions. So he starts up again. Repeat, rinse. Remember they didn't link the rape cases to the murder cases until 2001
sfgmanCAAlso, these murders and rapes happened decades ago. If you're pretty young you would never have heard of them because they stopped at least 30 years ago. In addition, it was ManY years before it was discovered that the guy who was raping in No. CA was the same guy who was killing near LA.
Great podcast. I’ve know about the Golden State killer for a while now but your podcast taught me a lot of new things. Big fan of yours.
This guys family members lived close to Paul Stines family. What's the likelihood that this notorious murderer and one other notorious murder lived so close
I love these videos I listen to them on my mail route all the time anyone that reads the comments make sure you listen to the Texarkana Moonlight murders and the New Mexico prison riot that Michael does they are fantastic as well
I think he was a policeman and probably left the country by now to escape any detection. It's so sad that he got away with all his crimes.
i was saying a cop too
Thought he was a cop too and older than most thought he was. Victim testimonies of how he held a flashlight and his gait stood out to me. Also his boldness, which I didn't attribute to youth but confidence and knowledge. Thought he was local too but actually thought he may have died from his suspected 'illness'.
great info lot I never knew even though watched many docos on this
+craig hall - Thanks, Craig! I definitely may have flubbed on a few of the smaller facts on this podcast (much of the information in this episode was based off of internet sources, whereas the final two were more inspired by the investigators' books I was reading at the time), but all of the information out there is one of the most surprising things about this guy not being identified yet. He left SO MUCH info/evidence out there, but none of it has circled back to him yet.
+craig hall ive seen two tv programs on it could you refer me to any documentaries on it
Excellent podcast. Thank you.
Thank you for your great work 😊
I'm not scrutinizing investigators but when he called the sheriff's and said "you'll never catch me, I'm gonna fuck again tonite, be careful", that statement showed that he knew he wouldn't get caught. He knew the cops weren't gonna catch him based on the tactics they applied to apprehending him. He knew if he hit this street, there's no way they can get him. Anyways gotta go to work
Do Zodiac Killer!!! and Elisa Lam
What a fucking monster. Maybe he got caught in a different crime. But good job with the video!
Way too much atmospheric noise in this one. It detracts away from the quality of your writing.
he once mentioned that he was kicked out of the air force. he even told one victim that he saw her and her husband on a military base. he at least had some boy scout type training. i say he was young possible late teens to early 20s for his boldness.
Great podcast. I enjoy listening to it greatly!
Micheal reminds me of Sheldon from big bang theory. Don't you think??
Showing up at his first rape naked from the waist down tells me he lived close by. From what I gather from criminal profilers these predators start their crimes close to home.
lol thats literally the only thing most people agree on, he lived within the area
Mojo Risin unknown subject is crazy.jim morrison. he must have been out every day sussing out houses to break into.
Either that or he probably left his pants in the car.
Michael, if you are the writer my many hats are off to you. EXCELLENT! You should consider putting this in print. BTW, I entered a comment about half an hour ago but it's disappeared. Nothing offensive in it so I wonder what happened.
19:03 The part that I actually want to listen to
So now we know the bloodhounds "going bazerk" had nothing to do with drug use or a disease. He was using dog repellent.
Anyone know details on Janelle Cruz attack? Like, autopsy report? She's the last known victim and there's not a lot of info on her death. (compared to other attacks)
There's a lot of info on this particular attack online. I remember that he subdued her outside her room, was highly aroused when he raped her (the bed was covered in unusually large amounts of sperm) and the murder was a huge overkill - he pummeled her so hard three of her teeth were found in her stomach and not a lot was left of the head.
Brilliant. He should have been caught back then this guy was out of control glad they caught him.
For as pathetic as he is he has fucking balls like he doesn' have self esteem and scrawny but will walk around balls out and stay in homes for hours ballsy as fuck
do you know the name of the woman who got assaulted in the beginning? i want to know what she looks like or if there is any interviews she's been on
Chilling.
This is so scary ... You tell the story in a good balance and damn the phone messages are fucking freaky. I'll try to sleep now. Try..
I also enjoy cold cases too.
Awesome stuff
I stumbled on your podcast. No regrets at all ;)
GOT HIS ASS NOW!!!
So happy to subscribe so early
They caught him!!
They caught him today look it up
14:37 16:33 The Visalia ransacker
keep up the good work
Now we know who he is HE USED DOG REPELLENT TO GET AWAY AND WHY DOGS WENT NUTS
well done
If you're seekin' out the East Area Rapist aka Original Night Stalker then look no further than Lockdown Serial Killer Wrestling down here in the Tally, Georgia Supermax! He's on the main roster and recently squared off against Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez. Come check him out in action. You never seen a pair of more muscular legs on a human being!
CO Bud Halloway-
This is a joke right?
I wonder if he drives a huge car to compensate
Factually incorrect. The phone call in the beginning was not made in "1991 15 years later after they moved". There was a call to a victim in 1991, but that call was not recorded.
good prodcast and good music at the end
Who came here after the guilty verdict?
I thought for sure he'd never be caught just like Zodiac. But now with all the genealogy websites it may happen!
It did happen! Thanks to genetic genealogy they got him 2018. Then 72 years old Joseph DeAngelo - a former cop - was charged, and in 2020 he pleaded guilty to multiple counts of murder and kidnapping.
I'm talking about the zodiac killer!!!!!!
Apparently he was arrested late last night
Agh he definitely knew this couple ! Fucked up
you've scared the shit out over me mick.LOVE IT more more.
I wonder if they didn't shoot at each other he wouldn't have dissapeared and became the night stalker??
I'e never heard the first story in this case where she compliments him and he reveals that fact about something happening to his face that's a major clue that theirs a major scar or disfiguration to his fave maybe even cleft lip or pallet and the bright blue eyes
Dylan Wicklund only problem with this is that he was a chronic liar too, or at least is assumed to be and is extremely likely, based on his profile. I just started this podcast so idk if these are mentioned in this video so sorry if they are! but on some occasions he also said “we” and referred to a girlfriend, in other instances he also had dialogue that would make sense if there were 2 people present (such as saying things like “put this in the car”) however there was never a response or second person present. Remember, this guy was a top level expert at red herrings. Apparently he once mentioned being in the army, however in a seperate attack, he asked a male victim if he was in the forces, and when the victim replied yes, that he was in the airforce, the EARONS responded “they threw me out”. Again, conflicting info. It’s strongly believed, and almost confirmed, he purposely did this specifically to confuse investigators and whatnot. So it’s hard to tell if ANYTHING he said is true or false. There are a few sketches out there that are supposed to be him, but some are just of suspicious people spotted in the neighbourhood around the time of the attacks, but none had mentioned/shown any sort of facial disfiguration, and I would assume that would definitely stand out and be a focal point if it were true. I would take what he said with a grain of salt tbh!
mick when is the next podcast commin am chokin to get ma teeth round about it.😆😆
he might have been a paper boy delivery guy of something win he was a kid. she was in survivor mode something happened to his face.he went throw there trash too garbage man? no they work in the mornings? he was a rich kid or military?
seems he didnt act straight crazy or impulse he couldnt control
FUCKING CAUGHT!!!!!!
this will need an update
