Amateur Sleuth Identifies Golden State Killer—and Now He's Behind Bars

Finally Caught

He was known as a strange old man who occasionally screamed profanities in his yard. Once, he threatened to kill a neighbor's dog for barking too loudly. Until his arrest on April 24, 2018, DeAngelo nearly got away with it all. While alone in the interrogation room, DeAngelo began to mumble to himself...

I Did All Those Things

"I did all that. I didn't have the strength to push him out," DeAngelo said, appearing to address an invisible presence in the room. "He made me. He went with me. It was like in my head, I mean, he's a part of me. I didn't want to do those things. I pushed Jerry out and had a happy life. I did all those things. I destroyed all their lives. So now I've got to pay the price."
