13 YO Uses True Crime Skills to Survive The Golden State Killer | The Cases of Margaret, Kris & Jane

“Do what I say or I’ll kill you and be gone in the dark”
It’s just before 6:30 AM on October 5th, 1976 when young mother Jane Carson is blindfolded and attacked with her 3YO son in the house. She is victim #5.
2 months later, 15 YO Kris Pedretti stops playing piano, thinking she heard something in the other room, despite being alone in her house. She is victim #10.
A year later, true crime fan Margaret Wardlow studies this serial killer, not knowing that she would become the 27th victim of the man she had read so much about.
He's been known under many different names: the Visalia ransacker, the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker or the Golden State Killer, but 44 years later, 200 witnesses stand in front of him to make sure justice is served.

youre not supposed to talk to your kid about sex. its perverse and taboo and improper and uncomfy lol the vast majority dont, even and especially in the usa in the super religious south, teens get preggo and they dont even know what sex is or that it makes babies. most sa victims involving rape by a stranger or family friend or relative as a kid or teen, they repress and dont talk about it 30+ years later. its a thing. look it up. its part of the patriarchy, male dominated society. where woman are views as unclean, damaged goods, and at fault with a lifetime of shame attached when they come to harm by a man.

[@hideyable]

The attitude towards talking about sex (& sexual assault) was significantly different then. Her father may have thought that talking about it would traumatise her & therefore best to ignore it. We know better nowadays though.

[@whogoestherification]

I’ve come across a few cases from long ago like this; families hushing loved ones as though it will bring shame to the family, and either way vindicating any feelings of shame the survivor may already feel. I’m glad things are societally different now. Talking about these things with a professional is the only way to start the healing process. Trauma like that doesn’t simply go away by not speaking of it. It’s simply “out of sight, out of mind” for those viewing the victim, pretending that all is well when it damn well isn’t.

Easy to say when the world is completely different, people look will look back in 40 years on us and think the same about certain things while it is normal for us right now. Instead learn from the experience rather than looking in a negative way towards the parents because they did something that isn't considered normal now 40+ years ago.

[@Zarastro54]

@@optyfen5276What a moronic take. This isn’t a matter of “moral relativism.” It was objectively stupid by ANY standard to leave a child alone with a rapist around, and it was objectively detrimental both to the girl’s health and the investigation to tell her to keep quiet about it.

[@optyfen5276]

​@@Zarastro54 You totally miss my point. Things were different back then. I'm not gonna comment on the leaving the child alone thing because there is a lot of context missing. However it was back in the day quite normal to not talk about certain things and keep quiet. Things aren't like these days where we encourage people to not keep to themselves etc, the whole mentality these days is different. Perhaps you never had experience yourself or from anyone sharing regarding how things were done back in the day otherwise you wouldn't have come here with your 2023 mentality "how could they leave her alone." "why did they tell her to keep quiet." Convinced that what your worldview is now should have been the case back then too.

@@optyfen5276 No, it seems that I got your point exactly, because all you did was give a round about explanation of moral relativism. Just because something was “normal” back in the day doesn’t mean it was right, nor that people back then were too “naive” to realize it was wrong. My grandmother grew up during segregation and even back when she was a child, questioned why she had to get off the sidewalk for a white person. When someone does something objectively harmful, they are free to be judged regardless of time period or position. Norms of the time explain but do *NOT* _excuse_ the harmful behavior of said people.

@@joanneheng4475 DNA will do nothing if there is nothing to compare it to and he was not in the database either. Also back in the 80's even 90's there was no consistent national database.

All the survivors said he had an incredibly small penis. I remember it was debated in court whether he would have to have his penis photographed so they could identify it. I believe the judge ordered that he would have to. What an absolute monster he was. The fact he would call and taunt them years after their attacks is terrifying. These suvivors were brave beyond words. Kudos to the authorities for never giving up. And look how many old crimes have now been solved as a result of genealogy dna.

He couldn't actually fight, or at least was scared to deal with anyone close to his size, so he broke into homes at night when people were sleeping or when men weren't home so he could catch them off guard and restrain them. He was so insecure about himself that hearing a man say he'd kill him made him feel like he had to "prove himself." But at the end of the day, that man knew exactly what he was. He went out of his way to try to torment his victims and make himself feel powerful, like in those phone calls, but all I hear is a man desperately trying his hardest to be the big bad monster, when he really was just a coward.

How do you violate someones mother with that child not only in the same room, but the same bed.

[@adventaursadventure7785]

Unfortunately, none of the victims really got justice. That monster got away with everything and got to enjoy his life. The guy is so old a medically frail, I'm sure he's being quite well taken care of, considering. It really is quite incredible though how he got away with it for so long.

[@luminvader8911]

He's actually not frail at all. The was a ruse he put on while in court to try to gain sympathy or act like he was too senile to understand his actions. They have footage of him while in his cell walking around and doing pull ups etc. Perfectly fine. Doubt this guy has ever been genuine or remorseful his whole life.

[@jonbonesmahomes7472]

​@@luminvader8911Anyways..he lived his life ..thats unfair..

[@luminvader8911]

@jonbonesmahomes7472 yes, unfortunately. But maybe it's even worse in his point of view. He gets to see how his ex wife and kids look and think of him. How his past friends and colleagues are disgusted by him. It's definitely not fair because he stole so much from others but I'd like to think that he's a bit more hurt personally that everyone he loves probably hates his guts and wants nothing to do with him.

[@jonbonesmahomes7472]

@@luminvader8911 I dont think he cares..he lives in his own world..

[@luminvader8911]

@jonbonesmahomes7472 maybe but narcs like him only care about how they're perceived by the ones close to them because they can longer control them or use them as an ego boost. I'd like to think that it bothers him greatly that he no longer has control over his family and them doting on him and thinking he's a great person. Isolation and ignorance hurt narcissists and psychopaths the most. They crave attention from others. He isn't getting that anymore.

[@donnagagne3813]

This is wonderfully done! I am so relieved for the victims. God bless them and their loved ones.

[@illakennedy]

ive seen the home that he took residency in because my friend lives right next to the house and you always get this eerie feeling when you walk past it

[@Silver-cl2bd]

I was born in Sacramento, raised in Eureka, and lived in Citrus Heights when that creep was found. I'm so glad he is locked up.

[@unhappybacon3292]

3:53 Her parents knew about this, and they went to a Christmas party and LEFT their kid??

[@chaneltwotimes2576]

“I would shoot to take care of him” 😂😂😂

[@barbywhittaker8762]

Wow. What a sick SOB!! I wish they could have got him sooner but thank God they still got him. I hope his last days were miserable

[@Ceerads]

He’s still alive.

[@ksinclair-garcia2092]

Your videos are great! You give so much information and stick to the details and tell the whole story. I'm so happy I found you channel. I never knew he was called the original night stalker.

[@alishaparker315]

All these women’s stories really are so tragic each one different and the same story💔. My heart truly goes out to every single victim listed and unlisted. I hope u all have healing and happiness💔💐

[@Potatoe-f6u]

So fucked up that a 15 year old girl didn't even know what sex was and then after she was raped, she was just told not to talk about it.

[@fannyalexander5906]

I hope justice is always served for everyone. The key is don’t give up, it took them 4 decades to solve this but here it is, DONE. Finally the victims are free ❤

[@mindofmayhem.]

He'll spend a year in prison and then die. That isn't justice.

[@Tess.w.]

imagine getting to know that you possibly sat next to the murderer in that picture in the start

[@Plushie_Minigunner1]

Tbh I think giving the searial killer shouldn’t be giving cool names like the Night Stalker I think they should be givin goofy ah name like poopy ass amongus

[@iagreewithyou3478]

Right?! Whoever came up with those names are idiots. To think they're the ones who best know about human psychology. Let's just call him the Small PP killer from now on.

[@casscass6696]

“Shit stain strikes again.” I agree! However for taunting killers I think calling him that would have made him more violent protecting the public sometime means making the creep feel he is in control so that he does not force that control more on the public which most time are young teenage girls and boys.

[@GotoMaki4Micah]

its on you if your mind goes to 'cool name' after hearing the words 'night stalker.' sounds like you have the mind of an edgy teen.

[@user-ys7eh9kx9p]

Totally agree it doesnt help upcoming killers i think its more unlikely they would copycat a killar named shit stain killar then night stalker ..

[@HighItsSyd]

The reign of terror he put on the residents of Sacramento, from what I was told by my Grandma(RiP), was horrible for her. I'm glad they finally caught this monster!

[@auroravalerio4867]

I went to high school with his grand daughter, she was younger than me so I didn't know her personally. These things don't usually happen (or at least get the recognition) around here, it's very weird seeing the streets I drive down everyday mentioned in a video like this

[@davem1212]

This channel is great. I subscribe to a lot of police interrogation channels and watch them a lot but this channel is the new one that I will watch every video.

[@Disco_opp420]

How absolutely shocking of all these crimes, not only did she have to endure the horrors, but the first time she was able to talk to someone, was 58 years old, I can’t believe her father, I understand that it destroyed his daughter to have that happen, but her dad telling her never to speak of it, absolutely shocking, all the families that this monster destroyed x

[@Ceerads]

I can’t believe his daughters didn’t talk about it anyway.

[@zzz2412]

Rip to the victims. I'm happy that he is now behind bars for good🥺this case made me cry. I hope all the survivors are well and living a happy life🤗

[@normajean3769]

Detective Paul Holes is now part of the True Crime podcast, Small Town Dicks. He shares his pov of the investigation and what it took to find the Golden State Killer. He is a reoccurring guest along with retired Dectective brothers Dave and Dan Grice and Yeardley Smith (the actress that voices Lisa Simpson on the Simpson). Highly recommend Small Town Dicks podcast!

[@julienelson6506]

I have chills. My whole life I thought my otherwise normal father was a little odd in that he made my sister and i learn to fire a gun at a Very young age to protect ourselves from men parachuting in if there was war. Yes the Vietnam war was just ending but who would be parachuting into a small country village outside of Sacramento? My dad would make us go target practice often. I was never a big fan of loud guns but we were told we had to practice. The guns in the house we always loaded (a point he stressed) and we had to know how to fire them. We were taught, "Touch a gun, know it is loaded. Point a gun at someone, you have to shoot them. Shoot them, you better kill them (no leg shots)" Now I wonder. He was a man with a wife and two daughters while this was going on. I was never allowed to watch the news and was shooed from the room when it was on so I never knew about this going on but i am sure my father did.

[@TheNicolevertone]

He was the weakest of all. He had to hurt others for his gratification. He had to make others afraid to feel in control. He was always hiding: behind a badge, behind a mask, down a phone line, behind the front of having a family, his age, put-on frailty, and put-on illness. He is always a coward.

[@Carlton_Wilson]

DeAngelo is many things, but a coward? No way. What he did took huge balls(albeit a small penis).

[@hellokitten469]

We need more of these. Stories of victims/survivors getting justice. More cold cases getting solved.

[@samignacz7609]

i was born in san fran. in 05 and in 2010 we moved to roc ny. though it was a few years past this case, it’s wild to think i was less than an hour away from his birth place and where he striked. my dad told me about him when i was in 2nd grade, not to scare me but to make sure i understood the world isn’t a beautiful place, and i to this day respect him for it. we’ve had 3 girls kidnapped and 10+ od’s in our area. glad he taught me well and used this heinous case as an example. along with ted bundy, WHO was executed on my birthday

[@thinkaboutit4666]

Thanks for the update. The earlier crimes he committed were on my mind a few weeks ago. Glad he is facing the penalties now

[@crimsonmckenzie98]

Ohhhh.... What I wouldn't give to see him in prison with others watching tv, and that part of his court case come on.... Everyone standing, laughing, clapping, pointing at the "bad man with the small pen*s..." lmao

[@2061526]

he is now in prison and will die there but already in a very old age, i would like to sentence him also to eat the same food for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the remainder for his natural life.

[@shortyrabbit1]

On top of this video, everyone should read I Know Who You Are by Barbara Rae-Venter. Her contributions (pioneering) to forensic genealogy is ultimately what got him found!

[@l.janecliftonrozell4707]

My prayers go to every victim abuse, killed, and did whatever he did. I hope he suffers in jail at the hands of all the inmates to all the women who survived you are strong always remember that.❤

[@electronicnotarystamp235]

It was Michelle's hard work and determination that got this case to go forward till the end.

[@AimeeLouLou]

I’m assuming DNA tests weren’t a thing back then? Because they would’ve found him a lot sooner if they just took DNA tests on all these people.

[@flutterbugs]

this channel seriously has amazing content

[@aldastroud9671]

Just a shame he live so many years free, enjoying life

[@emmagreen6087]

It's a shame he got away with it so long, and got to enjoy most of his life.

[@mfi-cf7sp]

there’s plenty of cops and firefighters who make crimes and fires just to show up and be a hero as well.. the well known Delphi Indiana case has nearby Flora Firefighters who were setting fires and then being the first ones to the scene to save folks but more died than were saved looking back now

[@DeviIGundam]

Man I remember reading when they identified him, so crazy.

[@CharlesEade-n4v]

My parents always told me about things, and dumbed it down for my child mind to comprehend. My dad taught me how to shoot at 12, taught me kick boxing at 10, and I was able to make a collection of knifes and melee weapons. And even if I was home alone, we had 2 dogs, and got a 3rd later. I knew that if anyone came into our house. They would be sorry. Why didn’t her parents do the same? Why not get a guard dog? Why not buy her a gun? Or why leave her alone? These parents failed their daughter, and I’m sorry about what happened to her. I’m thankful my parents taught me all I know, and I will teach my kids the same way. No way in hell will this ever happen to my kids.

[@sheilamckie8106]

Bravo for them for finally getting justice and Bravo to you for bringing this to us. God bless each and everyone And to the ones that didn’t escape this monster Sleep in the knowledge that he is where he belongs until his could place in hell awaits him 🙏🙏
