Kind of reminds you of the Frank Dodd character in Stephen King’s “The Dead Zone”, in which Dodd (a young deputy sheriff) was discovered to have been the perpetrator of a rash of rapes and strangling deaths of local women in recent years.
Lived there during that time but I can’t read at WP site...
Awesome. I had a feeling this guy was still alive after following a link from the Delphi murders. I had never heard of him but I was surely sure he was alive. That said, the teen girls had a picture and audio of their killer in the woods and still over a year later no arrest. I hope it does not take decades!
This is fascinating. Just a couple of days ago, the Australian media was carrying stories linking the Golden State Killer to some of Australia’s most notorious crimes. The suggestion was he’d moved from the US to Australia, which is why he’d stopped there.
As best I can work out, this arrest would blow that idea out of the water (I can’t find any reference to him coming to Australia) but it’s interesting to see two stories about the same crimes so close together.
This is incredible.
I JUST started watching part of the “Unmasking a Killer” series recorded earlier this calendar year, which was all about this crime spree.
I just finished the last ep last night.
And today I was trying to look up unsolved/unknown serial killers based on watching that, what with Jack the Ripper and Zodiac and so on. And I had never heard of this Golden State Killer before seeing the ads for that show (yes, I’m curious about murder mysteries, especially mass/serial crimes).
Then my husband points this out to me tonight (no, never noticed it on my own today).
They need to explain what “was found through DNA evidence obtained in recent days.”
I wonder what made him a suspect at all - someone who knew something finally talked?
Incredible story.
I had to order the book at the library. I’m 332 in the queue.
