HLN is going to cover the press conference at 3:00 pm Central time.
I just heard he is an ex cop.
I’d bet that a DNA match led to the arrest. Either the perp’s DNA or the DNA of a close relative.
Original Night Stalker, East Side Rapist
Watched a chilling docunentary on him just recently. Many of the rape victims said he had a small penis.
HLN put out a whole series of shows with details of the serial crimes by this perp.

Daily Mail has the best reportage on this breaking story so far.

“He is reportedly on suicide watch and being held at the Sacramento County jail.”
Hell, give him some rope.
So, why’d he quit in the 1980s? No activity since then, or did he get smarter and keep going without being detected?
There is a marathon of “The Golden State Killer” on RIGHT NOW on Investigation Discovery channel.
Weird coincidence.
If I was the guard responsible for his suicide watch, I’d watch while he committed suicide and applaud him! For Pete’s sake, why would we want to stop him from committing suicide, that would be the least of his crimes and look at all the taxpayer money it would save, I say give the man a hand!
I was surprised I had not heard of the “golden state killer” until I read about him and watched a show about it a bit back. It seems that this did not get as much attention as other suspected serial killers.
Worst press conference ever, 60 minutes of back slapping so far.
More info about the guy..
DeAngelo had returned from serving in the U.S. Navy in North Vietnam, where he worked on the gun line.
