Golden State Killer

What is this, like his third different moniker? First he was the East Area Rapist, then the Original Night Stalker, and now he's the "Golden State Killer"?

GSK was coined by Michele McNamara, the late wife of comedian Patton Oswalt, who wrote a book on the offender prior to his arrest, and published posthumously. Yes, he does have a lot of monikers, but that is mainly because he moved around and had a different M.O. over the years. Each jurisdiction/community gave him their own region-specific moniker.

The Cordova Cat burglar, the Visalia Ransacker, the East Side Rapist, the East Bay Rapist, the (Original) Night Stalker, and most recently as descriged above... The Golden State Killer. There are probably others I didn’t mention.

The Golden State Killer is a serial killer, rapist, and burglar who committed at least 13 murders, more than 50 rapes, and over 100 burglaries in California from 1974 to 1986.[4][5][6] He is believed to be responsible for three crime sprees throughout California, each of which spawned a different nickname in the press before it became evident that they were committed by the same person.
