*NOTES: He wasn't fired from his police job, he resigned so the police force wouldn't do a deeper investigation. The hammer & dog repellent was going to be/was used to get past yards with big dogs. DeAngelo is seen as one of the people in a photo of one of the Town Hall Meetings. He also has degrees in forensics & detective work, which aided him side-stepping getting caught. After the first case to convict someone using DNA evidence in the US was won in the 80's, DeAngelo got scared and stopped committing crimes, as mostly everyone in the world had not known that DNA was even a thing or existed at this time of human society.

[@dylanmorgan2752]

Thank fucking Christ that most modern police forces are now starting and maintaining databases of DNA for everybody they process. Allowing investigations to be concluded much more quickly when they find corresponding matches. Honestly the stuff this depraved bastard did sends shivers down my spine and he managed to do it with complete immunity in multiple areas and towns for decades. There’s still hope they might one day have closure on other big cases such as the zodiac killer in the near future as well.

[@damionc866]

This monster lived .5 miles from my sister and her family for almost a decade. He made his final home, outside of prison, within a mile of two schools and several family parks, all within the vicinity of his most brutal crimes. There's no telling how many people he continued to stalk and what petty crimes he obsessed upon while no longer physically able to commit the crimes congruent with his M.O., or whether he watched woman such as my sister walking their children to and from school knowing most individuals would pass him by, taking him for a harmless grandfather. My family and I drove as well as walked past him home countless times before his arrest. We were none the wiser until the day my sister's quiet neighborhood was disturbed by the sounds of circling helicopters overhead, only to discover their purpose once we watched the local news moments later. The reason I share these facts that have deeply impacted my family's sense of security, is to remind everyone taking the time, and with the maturity to comprehend, this real-life brush with evil of one thing: we never have any way of knowing how close we are everyday to the horrors that we see on television or read in books and other media. My sister and I spent our lives researching serial killers and the reasons how/why the manifest into these things; we never could have imagined one was lurking so close to home. These monsters that we make larger than life in our minds, they look like everyone else. They don't look like Freddy Kruger and Leatherface. They don't all hide out in the woods and under bridges. They sometimes spend thirty years living in the middle of a family suburb, terrorizing their own family while everyone else thinks they're harmless.. Never take your saftey and the saftey of your family for granted. Never assume you will know danger the moment it presents itself; true monsters learn to blend in. Hold your family close and thank whomever it is you pray to, as well as the numerous individuals who worked relentlessly for decades to solve these horrendous crimes, that one fewer of these beasts is freely roaming the Earth. P.s. I truly believe these crimes would have never been solved without the work of Michelle McNamara. May she rest in peace.

his wife knew something and is staying married so she doesn't have to testify legally....SHE'S HIDING SOMETHING !!!!

[@lenorepaletta9267]

Exactly!

[@ThisCharmingMan1984]

According to his entry on Wikipedia, they were divorced in 2019; whether that was before, or after, he admitted to his crimes, I’m not sure. Perhaps she waited until he confessed, so she wouldn’t have to be called in to testify, because she knew something, as you speculated; or maybe she didn’t know anything, and set the wheels in motion to divorce him, back in 2018, when he was arrested. It’s interesting that she never divorced him before, despite being separated for many years: I know that isn’t unheard of, and it sometimes happens with married couples; but when it turns out that one of them is actually a serial killer, and a serial rapist, it makes you wonder all sorts of messed up things, you would never consider. Though, at the time of his arrest, he was living in a home with his daughter, and granddaughter; so you’d like to think that, if his wife knew something about his crimes, or even if she only suspected him of something, she would have fought tooth and nail, to stop her daughter and granddaughter living with him. Either by threatening him, that she’d go to the police, or tell her daughter the truth about him. Or that she’d have just told her daughter something in secret: even she didn’t tell her everything she knew/thought she knew about him, in order to dissuade her from allowing her father to live with her, and her child. At least you’d hope she would have done something along those lines, if she had any idea about him: even if she was scared of him, or he’d threatened her life, if she said anything, you still wouldn’t allow your daughter, and granddaughter, to live with a man who you either knew, or you suspected, was a serial killer/serial rapist. So, who knows what she knew, and when she knew it; it’s probably something we’ll never find out, unless either him, or his now ex-wife, comes forward with new information, which seems unlikely. At least that particular monster is finally behind bars; even though, with his advanced age, life in prison won’t feel enough like life; but at least his victims have gained some measure of justice, and the survivors know he won’t be calling them anymore, and threatening to return for another visit. All the best. 😀👍

I'm convinced that the reason of him stopping in the mid 80s is this: "When 15-year-old Dawn Ashworth was raped and murdered in Leicestershire, England, in late July 1986, Alec Jeffreys was a genetics professor at the nearby University of Leicester. A few years earlier, he had discovered that patterns in some regions of a person’s DNA could be used to distinguish one individual from another." The fact the DNA started to play a major role in solving crimes, I think that stopped him.

He's caught, he's in his 70s and will more than likely die before this even goes to trial. He can't hurt anyone else on the outside, and nothing is gained from stooping to his murderous level.

I was stationed at Mather AFB in Rancho Cordova at the time (1974-1978)that he was identified as the East Area Rapist (EAR). He struck many homes in the surrounding area during my tour at Mather. I was married and flew B-52's. At least once a month, sometimes two all crew-members would have to sit on Nuclear Alert for a week at a time, this meant that myself and the rest of the members of the flight crews of the Alert B-52's and the Alert Tankers (KC-135's) and the planes maintenance personnel slept in the Alert Facility on base by our planes in case we were needed to protect our Nation against the Russians(think the Cold War). During these times our wives stayed in our off-base homes during these alert tours. All of our wives were absolutely terrified at what was going on. It seemed at the time that hardy a week or two would pass without reading of his acts of terror. I remember all the times that my my wife called me at the alert facility scared out of her mind at 2 or 3 am because she heard something outside, perhaps the wind blowing a branch against the fence, or a dog or cat hissing or growling in the night, maybe just the house settling. The husbands were all stuck there at the alert facility worried sick about them. During that time I remember how scarce guns and deadbolts anywhere in the area. You spent hours screwing Sliding Glass Doors and Windows shut when you weren't flying or on alert. That POS is responsible for destroying so many lives, not just the folks that he actually raped, tortured and killed, but also thousands upon thousands of folks he didn't visit, except in their thoughts and dreams everyday and night. You would try to push it to the back of your mind and try to go on and lead a somewhat normal life but when the sun went down he was on everyone's mind. He was the worst kind of terrorist that you could imagine. For that four year period you just didn't know if your house was next. It was akin to living out the scariest horror movie you ever saw, except you may have the next starring role, The stakes were altogether too real. I know of many many people that would like to have some time alone with him now and I know that will never happen and unfortunately the State will be far to lenient in their penalty, if it isn't excruciating painful for him, it will never be the correct punishment. I truly appreciate all of the Law Enforcement, the years they spent and their tenacious attitude that helped bring this to an end. God Bless You All.
