Case 53: The East Area Rapist/Original Night Stalker (Part 5)

[@damnedcarrot]

My mind is blown at how ballsy and brazen this guy was. I've been researching killers for a couple decades and never come across anyone like this guy. Truly fascinating and this podcast is the best podcast/audio/video on the subject of the Golden State Killer. Amazing work mate!

[@judywright4241]

---He also flew under the radar for so many years too! Another ‘doesn’t fit a stereotype’ is James ‘Mike’ DeBardeleben. The FBI chased him for years as a prolific counterfeiter but when they got him, they got a serial killer too. They found bunches of audio tapes of his torturing his own wife. It was a chilling thing to listen to.

[@damnedcarrot]

@@judywright4241 Thanks for the suggestion. I checked it out. Interesting story.

[@leesmith6792]

Everyone should check the FBI's most feared serial killer, Isreal Keyes. Good thing he was caught when he was.

I've just finished the whole East Area Rapist Casefile series on google podcasts, absolutely superb! The depth of research that Casefile do is just the best I've ever heard. As many others have mentioned, how Casefile has so few subscribers is as much a mystery as many of the cases they cover. Thank you so much for all your wonderful work and effort to bring us such high quality content! 👍👍♥️♥️♥️

Fantastically done series. I'm gutted to learn, after all these episodes, that this POS has evaded justice 😑 Thank you Casefile for covering

[@stevebond7387]

He’s behind bars now. Unfortunately he didn’t get captured until in his seventies.

[@Sam_BTT]

This is incredible work. One of the best in any media format for true crime. Congratulations and thank you.

[@89RealThe]

I listened to this years ago on Spotify. One of the best series ever, I had been familiar with EAR/ONS since '09, I never expected I'd ever see these cases would ever be solved.

[@carolinedemooij2001]

I couldn’t stop listening. That says enough about the way you tell the story. Thank you for taking us on this jurney

[@paddy7126]

By far the most thorough telling of the earons saga, thanks for uploading

[@veronicaellen4634]

This podcast is absolutely amazing. I listen to it in the background while I'm working on art projects, and this is the second time I've listened to this particular story. I always picture Jesse Spencer (Dr. Chase from the House series) as the narrator, but I love that you keep it a mystery. The research and story telling that this team puts into the stories just take it to the next level- the whole team should be so proud of every episode you produce. You deserve so many more youtube views. The effort you put in pays off, these stories have an extra pop... I have never, never EVER heard of a detail that chilled me the way the Charlene and Lyman Smith murder scene did. The detail about how their alarm clock had been ringing for two days while they laid there dead- that one detail just haunts me, it chills my blood to the marrow. I know that happens in these kind of cases, but it is the freakiest thing I've ever heard. You should check out the Victoria Stafford murder in Woodstock Ontario.

I started with part 1 on a whim & couldn't stop.

[@bluechurch776]

I can't believe this psychopath has not been caught, no fault of the police. Really well done!! Thank you to all involved at Casefile.

[@stevebond7387]

He was caught in 2018. Joseph James D'Angelo, a former police officer. He will be behind bars for the rest of his pathetic life.

[@nicholassiple7838]

Incredible content and so well done. Every single episode I have listened 2 so far. 🙏

[@daymeinvanblocken3407]

A well explained case. Thanks.

[@Catssandra13]

Excellent series on this case. Every single episode is brilliantly done.

[@persus5756]

Wonderful crime podcast! Subscribed!!

[@rml1919]

What's mind blowing is how stupid and arrogant law enforcement was...

[@karen81986]

So compelling.

[@voiceofreason1208]

I was born in 1974 and lived on the other side of the country in an area that did not experience crime like this but I was raised that you always make sure your doors and windows are always locked. That has followed me throughout my years and since hearing this podcast I've started checking my guns in the morning and evening to make sure they're where they are supposed to be and that they are all loaded.

[@DeclanBurger]

Man it must of been frustrating being the police at the time when witnesses wouldn't report anything until it was too late, would of been frustrating as hell working that case for so many years imagine the amount of lost sleep or struggles at home. Also sad for the families. Looking forward to watching the update on this afterwards, great podcast and it's delivered so well. I listen to all these casefile cases at work for the last couple of months and i've got a lot more to go. Thanks for sharing these bits of history.

[@countrysamurai]

For me...the most shocking thing is how the cops in different counties, cities and regions, kept the information of the crimes all to themselves. I mean really, how many of the victims might have at least had a chance if they had known there was such a prolific criminal/murderer doing his evil all over the state?

[@user-mt4ku7jw1y]

I know it's shocking right

[@Camibug]

[@user-mt4ku7jw1y]

He was a cop, Dangelo

[@amyclare5377]

I'm 33 mins into part 5 and if don't get to know who this crewp is I think il loose sleep im dedicated now... I habe a man in my mind made up from listening to this on my down time every evening for 5 nights lol

[@tommyhendo]

In hindsight, the way he held his flashlight and weapon in a position of strength at all time is indicative of a police officer. It very well could have been a tip off.

[@BRP]

Ohhh so this was the golden state killer original name ?

[@ክፉየዩቲዩብእጀታ]

no such thing as the "golden state killer", only EARONS

[@erinhiner4540]

Yes that was his original name.😊

[@judywright4241]

--‘Golden State Killer’ moniker was from Michelle McNamara’s book ‘I’ll Be Gone In the Dark’. ‘East Area Rapist’ or ‘Original Night Stalker’ was the first names by the police. He was also the ‘Visalia Ransacker’ which had the earmarks of D’Angelo in that stealing money but little else of actual value. He liked taking sentimental items and entering homes many times before actually choosing who he would attack. Calling afterwards, this guy thrived on destruction of lives and the peace of mind of his victims. Hard to punish such a person for the pain and suffering he left behind him for his own sick enjoyment.

[@christaaffe1049]

Maybe lil update on the suspect and his background?....love the podcast 😁

[@jaded5559]

They caught the guy last year, AKA the Golden State Killer.

[@DavidCurryFilms]

41:49 good grief... they were often close to getting a good description, sometimes spot on his slim figure and moustached with tidy blonde hair. So frustrating.

[@scottclark1123]

Joseph James D’Angelo

[@judywright4241]

---I was struck by D’Angelo’s nephew saying he awoke one night to Joe staring at him thru a window of their family home. He wondered if Joe had used his family home as a ‘stop over’ spot. I thought, ‘HEY DUDE, why not ask HIM?? ‘

[@seanbeak4155]

Great, thanks. Sacramento hotspot, what is there?

[@seanbeak4155]

@Trolling Albatross Do they have a big military base for mind control experiments? Some may be practicing...

[@modernwar2ghostrp]

I'm wondering. Did the handwriting on the back of the map sketch match the sketch itself

[@thedisabledwelshman9266]

how do u go about killing someone thirteen times?🤣

[@malovela]

I wonder if the police ever contacted all the doctors in the area and asked them about patients fitting the description who had unusually small penises. It would be kind of a nasty thing to do, but I think this particular end would justify the means.

[@Join.The.Partee]

I wonder if doctors were able to share patient information???

[@malovela]

@@Join.The.Partee I'm pretty sure they have to if the police demands it.

[@rockstarofredondo]

Why do you think doctors would know a patient’s penis size? That’s not something that gets medically examined very often.

[@emma75]

I have info ! You guys should look out for someone in the police force ! There was a sketchy cop from Auburn, CA who had run-ins with the law when he wasin high school, he even killed animals. They let anybody working as a cop.

[@GREENWARRI0R]

EAR/ONS has been caught, and he was indeed a cop: Joseph James DeAngelo.

[@rockstarofredondo]

@@GREENWARRI0Rhe was briefly a cop. To characterize him as career law enforcement is ridiculous. He was a cop for a few years and was fired for theft.

[@jaded5559]

@@rockstarofredondo and yet he was literally a cop. Don’t be such a twat.

[@jlew9805]

Okay, I’m confused. I thought the suspect had been caught, Deangelo.

[@paddy7126]

This podcast originally came out a few years ago, it's only just been uploaded to KZbin

[@AntiAuthority55]

J Lew yes he was caught just over a year ago.
