Full Interview: Golden State Killer investigator Paul Holes

[@ckom0007]

This guy is exactly what you want a cop to be. Excellent work!

[@darcyswanson2155]

Paul Holes is so well spoken, educated, just the perfect man to have helped solve this case. He deserves a medal of honor for his tireless efforts on this case. Great job Paul Holes.

[@roberthenry5682]

Sorry but this detective must have gotten so much for his last name 🙉

[@whotelakecity2001]

He deserves better pay. Government employees get a bit more than pittance. Now he has to write books to make it through retirement.

[@swaggattarius4355]

Paul deserved better. He’s so damn smart and professional, he carried the interview for her. What a nice guy.

[@cmnieman1]

Paul Holes is exactly what every LEO should try to be like. He's truly unbiased and optimistic when so many others would be the total opposite in his circumstances. Nothing but respect for him and his team. Thank You for sharing this.

[@DC-js4gk]

Christopher Nieman get a feeling this won't be the last time we hear from Paul. His presentation and patience is legendary in the heroic sense. Nearly 30 years on this case is beyond anything I can think of, apart from those searching for Zodiac. But GSK makes Zodiac look amateurish with his games. GSK damn him was a daringingly cool monster

[@DC-js4gk]

me free We're talking about Holes here. He didn't "solve" the case technology did, sure. Just referring to his professionalism in general. Most cops aren't great speakers or presenters. He also had the idea to set this process in motion, (and it wasn't easy some jurisdictions wouldn't help) and he also was instrumental in identifying ONS as EAR now GSK.

[@tryfelyfe1604]

I TOTALLY agree...This is the FIRST detective/investigator that Ive EVER seen and heard give an EXTREMELY informational interview in this stage of a case that hasnt even been to trial yet ..You usually hear after EVERY question...I cant answer this and I cant answer that .but NOT THIS GUY ... ompletely the opposite..Ive seen this thumbnail pop up over and over in my feed and I deliberately ignored it because I felt it would be BORING and he would portray arrogance superiority but boy I was WRONG....BEST INTERVIEW ive seen EVER

[@CarlCumby]

He's hired a talent agent already, and already been to "True Crime" conferences to meet the public and sign autographs. This guy is interested in nothing but making money off this case.

[@tatianagranger2427]

Status4 There’s no reason her shouldn’t hire people to help him. The job doesn’t pay much and he, like many before him, understand that he has something to say that people want to hear and pay for. Good for him!!! He didn’t do this for this publicity, he was doing his job. He would have kept doing his job regardless of publicly. But it’s there now, so why not share what he learned and make money for it?? Good for him.

[@Jugivadi]

This is one smart dude. Holes has an investigator's intellect and he's sharp as a tack.

I like the story about when the DNA came back from lab confirming DeAngelo was the GSK. He said all the other cops were going ape and whooping it up he didn’t. Instead his mind started thinking of the next steps forward that needed to be taken.

[@mharmontx]

The interviewer was not prepared. Paul Holes is a true professional. Shuffling Papers. Shuffling Papers.

[@guambyguambelle1864]

The shuffling paper, moving around...all that shows up on the microphone. Maybe she was too nervous? Because PH is quite handsome and well-spoken? He was great in this interview. Camera work was odd at one point, focusing on PH's hands or...crotch. Just not the most professional interview team overall.

[@EncourageLegacy]

And their relatives...and their friends...and their neighbours. That psychopath caused so much damage. It's unbelievable. Yet, he didn't get away with it. And his entire legacy remains destroyed which is good.

[@InThaBassmintTV]

ALL POLICE OFFICER DNA SHOULD BE UPLOADED TO THE SYSTEM TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN!

[@NickanM]

InThaBassmintTV Some states already do that! 😉

[@2HRTS1LOVE]

I'm usually pretty big on protection of privacy, but cops have a LOT of power, so it's probably not a bad idea for them to cough up a DNA profile as a precaution. Iirc, military members already have to do it, mostly for identification purposes, but still, their DNA is on file, so if it's good enough for service members, it's good enough for cops, who can literally ruin lives on a whim. A dirty cop is a horribly dangerous thing, exhibit A, this jerk.

[@Stelpots]

To be honest, I think DNA should be taken at birth. If you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to worry about. It might even deter some people from committing crimes.

[@nataliedelvalle4883]

@@Stelpots Genius idea! Truly brilliant!

[@Stelpots]

Thanks, although not everyone agrees. They think you're violating human rights and already judging a baby before he/she has lived. The Joseph James DeAngelo's of this world were once those innocent, newborn babies that had so much promise but grew up and chose a horrible path and innocent people suffered because of that. If you could go back in time to when he was born, you'd want that DNA.

[@ejred3]

He said NINETEEN EIGHTY TWO twice or three times, not 92, then she makes him think he said 92 and apologizes to her, thinking he did say 92. I never like criticizing anyone, but this lady doesn't listen right.

[@RoyAH.]

Agreed, but she may have been trying to get the years straight in HER head, and Paul is so polite, he went ahead an apologized, just in case he said it incorrectly. Either way, if you know this case, there are so many dates, and they span such a long period of time, its often easy to get turned around.

[@tammyramey]

RAH, now I feel mean! You're right. :)

[@RoyAH.]

Awww. Not mean! :) She was actually a little amateurish. Plus, it rubbed me the wrong way too. That's why I took a second look. I wonder what the deal is with this interview, it look sort of impromtu.

[@gatorshea5379]

Any interviewer should make themselves somewhat aware of the circumstances and information that will be shared to some degree. Was this lady completely unaware of this series of crimes before this interview?

[@tammyramey]

RAH: Thanks, you're kind. :) Yes, the interview seemed VERY impromptu.

[@lindsaywhitehead671]

Paul Holes is such a polite and gracious guest! But words cannot express how AWFUL and sloppy this interviewer was. Good Lord. Imagine how much valuable information we could have gleaned if she knew what she was doing.

[@nategarver7273]

It is like she knows nothing about the topic nor the person she is interviewing. Paul is and has always been a treasure trove of knowledge on this case, he carried the interview with a minimal effort while she was bungling it, even managing to convince him at one point that he misstated dates when in fact she just wasn't fully paying attention while he spoke. A real shame.

[@cmnieman1]

Lindsay Whitehead Couldn't have said it better myself! Agree 100%

[@cmchamp9703]

She did fine, she asked solid follow up questions, allowed him to answer fully. this case does not shine law enforcement in a great light in terms of them being non linear thinkers.

For Holes to keep his composure for the entire interview without blasting this unprepared, uninformed interviewer shows how relaxed and patient he is. This lady was atrocious.

[@damenclow9968]

Best part was when she almost got through her question, "So, was this a RAPE victim or..." before she caught herself. Yeah. I don't think the guy would be calling up one of his murder victims. And certainly Denny's wasn't in the practice of hiring murder victims as servers. Extras on the set of the "Thriller" video, sure (it was 1982, the video came out the next year), but Denny's servers? That ain't gonna fly with Kitchen Cops. (And I don't mean to make light of the victim's experience. I DO mean to criticize poor journalism).

[@donniebrassco2070]

Working a "cold case" is so tough! Paul Holes is an extremely intelligent Investigator. He lays out this case so well he totally makes this Interviewer simply a member of his captive audience.

thank you very much for this interview. its one of the most extended ones with key investigator paul holes. i cant find that the reporter is bad preparedat all. to all those critics: you should aknowledge that the production was done by a small tv regional channel. they dont have as much money as the big ones. they cant afford a big team of technicians and camera men. we should be greatful to have this expanded interview. cause big channels usually dont do those extended interviews . or if they do, its not publish it in complete. usually these interviews are done to tale only some sentences for a film. i m glad that they published it. fo me the content is the main focus. i never found anywhere this detailed infirmation. its great. and as i said: better to have it as dont have it.

FYI: Holes, in the Discovery Channel documentary(a few years before GSKs arrest) stated the Golden State Killer was not the suspect in the Visalia home invader case because eyewitness statements identified a man with a different build. Turns out, GSK was the same guy. GSK moved to Auburn and changed his appearance by losing at least 30 pounds. GSK was always one step ahead, his level of sophistication is off the charts. I suspect GSK has killed well over 15 people.

[@MsGodsown1]

Me and my sisters were almost his rape victims in 76. My father had just left for work @ 6am and me and my sisters were getting ready for school and I heard a noise coming from the front door. I had thought my father had forgotten something. I put my hand on the front door knob and began to turn it and looked through the peephole, (thank God for peepholes), and saw a man standing there with a ski mask on. Scared the shit out of me. My sister came into the room just then and I told her that there was a guy with a ski mask on trying to get in and she said don't open the door. She then yelled, 'We got a gun and you better get out of here or we're going to use it!'' He then took off on a motocross bike. We had had someone messing with our kitchen window screen somewhere around the same time, but didn't think much of it. I was just a click away from being a victim of this psychotic individual.

[@JohnnyHands]

So if you listen for a couple of minutes starting around 14:00, you hear Holes say that when Deangelo was terminated for the August 1979 shoplifting arrest, during his termination process in front of an other officer, Deangelo threatened to kill the Auburn PD Chief *AND* one night during or shortly after that process, the Chief's teenage daughter comes to him in the middle on the night and says, "DADDY, THERE'S A MAN AT THE WINDOW SHINING A FLASHLIGHT INTO MY BEDROOM", and after the man escapes, unseen, the Chief finds footprints outside that window that match the M.O. of the East Area Rapist. And the Chief suspecting it was Deangelo. [UPDATE: Here is a link to an interview I just saw where the Auburn PD Chief says he DIDN'T suspect Deangelo as the man at the window. Also, he said his daughter was 4 years old, not a teenager (my mistake), and that she told him in the morning (not immediately) that the man was shining his flashlight in the middle of the night (they talk to the chief about one minute in to the video): goodmorningamerica.com/news/video/details-emerge-alleged-golden-state-killer-54903187 ] With all that, and Deangelo working in Auburn, CA the entire time of the EAR Northern California attacks, located only 30 miles northeast of Sacramento, did the Auburn Chief never entertain the possibility that EAR might be someone from his jurisdiction? Did he not familiarize himself with the M.O and profiles of the attacker (one of them being, LE/military)? Should he have been able to put two and two together?

[@BrentsTreehouse]

yes, he and others should have put it together given the widespread panic and knowledge of this ongoing crime spree in the area. hindsight is 20/20, but these guys screwed up in my opinion.

[@LauraEllen999]

Totally. The guy has a temper, it was suspected by many people that the killer was a cop, he threatened the police chief's life, stalked his daughter in the same manner he stalked other women, AND he got fired for stealing dog repellant and a hammer. Seems like he should have been on their radar a little more than he was. Was that police chief just out to lunch or what?

[@anthonym3351]

Her identity was known/leaked before this interview I believe, I didn't see it when it aired and remember googling her and finding her travel blog. To be fair, regardless, it was a matter of public record--she was identified as her engagement to DeAngelo was posted in the newspaper announcements as was common practice at the time. Plus, this is clearly raw footage and not the final cut of the interview intended for broadcast. I wouldn't call it "incredibly unprofessional".

[@mpgibson6342]

Interviewer making so much noise with papers, clicking pen, shuffling around - so annoying! Because this guy gave a brilliant interview - he deserved so much better.

[@spikeyjacketgod]

You guys don't seem to understand how interviews in this context work. It is an entirely practical technique to ask minimal questions and to allow a source expand on them freely. In fact, you could argue that it is BETTER, because it removes the potential for a biased perspective on the behalf of the interviewer. Paul Holes is telling the story, she DOES NOT need to interject every 3 minutes with her opinion/half baked analysis. This was clearly filmed for something larger, and/or to generate 30 second bites for later newscasts. Give her a break.

[@bethewalt7385]

I'm with you, I don't understand all the criticism, it's a relaxed conversational style as you pointed out, allowing Paul to just go, with what I'd refer to as interjections not interruptions....

[@anthonym3351]

Given all the crimes he escaped from and kept hidden, it was incredible that De Angelo was caught and overpowered for stealing. I imagine that police are going to find him linked to countless other crimes too.

nah.

I could have done the interview much better while standing on my head ..Great information thou great cop great police work

[@BloodofTheLamb777]

Interviewer at times sounds like a giggling, blushing groupee. Still, the overall narrative relevant to the topic is delivered as promised. I'm glad I watched it. 👍

I know I escaped this guy in 1978, that I'm the Melanie on this paper they found with him. In short, he followed me home from a movie theater job in Walnut Creek all the way to San Ramon.. .

[@MrSimondaniel3]

if he never attacked how did he learn your name? im not trying 2 prove u wrong, would like to hear more detail.

[@MrSimondaniel3]

thing is, it doesnt really look like "melanie". i know Michelle M thought so, but whatever he did write ends in a G.

[@starlitblond]

Daniel Simon So as I said briefly in comment I was working at a movie theater. I wore a name tag. I took the bus. I stood at the bus stop many times. A couple times this creepy car with this creepy guy was parked across the way staring at me. After stopping at handfuls of bus stops, I reached my destination, looked right after stepping off bus and there was that creepy guy behind the bus. He stoped behind each bus stop! I freaked and I ran for it. I was also on the soccer team, so I was fast. Thankfully. But he had an idea of the houses I may have run in to. I peeked out the curtains and across the street, there he was.. looking in windows of where he thought I was. He was pretty close. I called the Sheriffs. They came out, he had driven off. But the next day they came in to the movie theater and said they think they got the guy and asked and if I could I'D him. I said yep, thats him. After that, they advised me to quit my job immediately for they told me he had my name and the neighborhood on a piece of paper. I not only quit but I never went back home. Same exact time as that dude was in town. So think of what you want about it. Thats the story, in somewhat brief.

@@starlitblond Where did you go if you never went back home?

[@jasonlongo6823]

I've always wondered how he found the time to prowl as much as he did. I wonder if he would turn up to work as an officer and then pretty much be off the radar all day long before returning at the end of his shift. I can't imagine any other way no one would notice that he was constantly not accounted for, running around town breaking into houses, calling and stalking people.

[@bobbyfoxworth4463]

Lemme just say THIS about THAT ! I was in the movie/tv bidness for almost 30 years. And I’ve directed a bunch stuff. Y’all have MOST LIKELY seen a lotta what I’ve done. The problem here is you have a inept interviewer that can’t KEEP UP or LISTEN because she’s worried about gettin here next question out. And a “sound man” that for some reason feels he doesn’t NEED TO WEAR HIS HEADSET . HENCE the sound of all her shuffling her notes around NEEDLESSLY. And a camera operator that obviously NEVER HEARD the term.....”put it (camera) ON sticks”. All these INEPT fools make for a WAY BAD PIECE OF “BUSH LEAGUE” reporting . And Hole is what’s known as PERFECT INTERVIEWEE ! But, to me he seems like what a GREAT COP !

Paul is exactly right about raider almost getting the crap beat out of him. He's a very intelligent man. The stressor. A child. He's so right

Paul Holes is a hero !!! Thank you for giving all of his victims closure.

[@Deeplycloseted435]

As an avid reader if all books about serial killers solved and unsolved, this is a HUGE case. Those drawings are decades old, and have been floating around for decades. Its too bad it took this long, but now he can rot in prison until he dies. Hopefully he will help with some missing bodies, or other unsolved cases.

[@eclay432]

Kevin Harris you are talking as if he has been convicted. You never know my friend let's hope the cops crossed their t's and dotted their i's. One fuckup and he walks.

[@grantp4022]

All those drawings they posted of GSK were really useless, and likely protected De Angelo from ever being noticed. When a guy has aged 35 years, they should only release age enhanced drawings of a man, so there's a slim possibility, someone would recognize him.

@@grantp4022 GSK made it quick??? He spent hours in victims houses terrorising them.... also taunting victims by ringing them?

[@ailleananaithnid2566]

Grant P Let’s include Ted Bundy, another sexual sadist, another terrible monster. Those who abduct their victims & get off on the fear & torture they inflict scare me the most. Rape’s the gift that keeps on giving. Our perspectives might differ thanks to gender. To me, personally, GSK is worse bc he also raped so many. (That’s so many ruined lives.) As a survivor of sexual assault myself, I can tell you that rape is something you never, ever put behind you. Just when you think you’ve got it beaten it comes up again another destructive way.

[@ailleananaithnid2566]

Andrew Macnaughton A sexual sadist gets his pleasure not through the actual rape but from the fear and pain a victim experiences. They particularly enjoy it when a victim begs for his or her life. They are often involved in slowly strangling a victim - for example, strangulation to the point of death, then releasing to allow that victim to revive. They prolong the agony as long as possible to add to their pleasure. These people are fantasy driven. Since no experience is ever going to be as good as we anticipate, the murder never matches the fantasy. So they keep on taking victims, much like an addict keeps pursuing the perfect high. I agree. I think GSK is far worse. (Ted Bundy was in the same league.)
