How the Golden State Killer almost got away with historic crimes
About this episode
For more than four decades, the Golden State Killer haunted California leaving behind a trail of terror in one of the most chilling cold cases in American history. Then in 2018, in a twist of fate, the man behind the crimes Joseph James DeAngelo was unmasked not by fingerprints or confessions, but by a distant relative’s DNA uploaded to a genealogy website.
Chloe McPolin speaks with crime columnist with the Toronto Sun and author of Inside the mind of the Golden State Killer Brad Hunter to talk about how the case which mystified America came undone.
