The Golden State Killer - ISHI 2019 Keynote

Paul Holes, retired from the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office, relates the chilling story of the case that dogged him for over 20 years-the notorious Golden State Killer, who committed over 100 burglaries, more than 50 rapes and at least 13 murders from 1974 to 1986.
Ultimately, Holes solved the case in collaboration with a genetic genealogist, using the relatively new-and controversial-technique of forensic genetic genealogy (FGG) or investigative genetic genealogy.

This is better and more informative and more gripping and amazing than any documentary so far Ive seen about this case. Paul, youre a superstar. Those ticks on the map of all the places DeAngelo laid his crimes is astounding, I cant believe this guy got away with SO MUCH for SO LONG

[@SaintMartins]

You think he quit killing because he was 41? Nah i think the real reason why DeAngelo quit killing in 1986 was because as a ex-cop he heard about D.N.A & understood what this new "D.N.A. technology" would mean for his life as a killer. D.N.A as a police tool was invented in the UK in 1983 & now was going to start being used in the US in 1987, maybe earlier. He learned it would be better than a finger print & probably hoped his old semen discharge would be degraded & no longer testable.

Great video and interesting analogy… DNA would not start to be used as investigative evidence until early to mid 90s… BUT STILL not until OJ does it go to the next level...His last child is born in the 80s… But in 86 is when his niece moves out and he kills one last time… But his kids are getting older and they probably take up most of his time plus he is older

Dear ross: Frankly, I think that it's laughable how the cops have been patting themselves on the back for finally catching D'Angelo. If you finally catch the guy when he's 73, and 35 years after his last murder, I call that a victory for D'Angelo, not for the cops. What a great deal for D'Angelo !!! At 73, he either sits on his butt at home or in prison. He's not missing much at this point in his life either way. And what a waste of valuable police resources !!! Simple arithmetic told the cops that they're looking for an old man, so what's the point ? The cops kept after D'Angelo simply because they couldn't admit that he was smarter than them. As a taxpayer, I don't want my tax dollars pursuing a criminal who we already know has one foot in the grave. I want the cops going after criminals who can live long enough to do some serious hard time. In terms of a simple cost-benefits analysis, I say that the time and money wasted on D'Angelo could have been more wisely spent. ... [e-mail]

Great seminar @PaulHoles

[@peggypeggy4137]

It's hard to believe that Paul Holes and the Golden State killer retired at the same time. Paul Holes looks 35 years younger. Good vs evil, I guess.

[@micha5406]

It could also have something to do with the fact that Paul Holes was born over 22 years after DeAngelo :) As a detective (and previously as a police officer I guess) he was performing a public (government) function, hence the early age of retirement or more precisely lower job seniority needed for it.

[@peggypeggy4137]

@@micha5406/ I wasn't aware that there was such an age difference. Come to think of it, my brother retired at 45. He was a cop. I also think that The Golden State aged incredibly (miraculously) after he got caught. He wanted to look as old & feeble as possible. Apparently he looked much more robust and youthful the day before he got taken in. eg -Riding down the highway at 100 mph on his motorcycle etc.

[@micha5406]

@@peggypeggy4137 I actually looked it up after seeing your comment 'cause there had to be a reasonable explanation and yeah... he's 52 yo now. Still looks quite sharp for his age. By the way I reckon GSK's aging (visually) will accelerate now as he's really old now, the living standards in jail are far from spa and also the psychological burden of getting caught eventually and having to spend his final years in prison where he will eventually die will take a toll on his appearance real soon. Also, don't know if you've heard but just a couple of weeks ago he told his attorney that he would be willing to plead guilty! (Provably to avoid death penalty though I doubt he would live long enough to make it till the execution). Now it's the prosecution's turn so we'll have to wait to see this play out.

[@peggypeggy4137]

@@micha5406 I hope he does plead guilty-even if it's just to avoid the death penalty. I have heard that they haven't imposed the death penalty in California since 2006. I guess that is why Scott Peterson is still on death row. You are right-he would never live long enough to be executed. I'm just so happy that they caught that POS!!! Better late than never. Amazing how they caught him through his ancestors DNA, don't you think?

[@micha5406]

@@peggypeggy4137 I also have read somewhere that even the trial itself could take up to 10 years easily because of the legal difficulties resulting from the multiple jurisdictions that he has committed crimes in. So I guess him pleading guilty is, whether we like it or not, probably the only scenario in which we could see a definite end to this and his conviction. Yes, it is truly a groundbreaking case in terms of DNA forensics / genetic genealogy. It really made me realise this when Holes said that even after all the decades of hunting for GSK and the ever increasing profile of the case, presence in media etc. they were nowhere near to catching this guy. You can run but you can't hide forever :)

[@dalittlebabejezuz]

You don't even need to shell out for a cutting tool to break a window quietly. Place a wet page of a newspaper on the pane and tap with just enough force to break the glass. The wet paper deadens the sound and the pieces of glass tend to stick to the paper instead of falling noisily onto the ground. Burglary 101... ;)

[@lisettedevars9423]

36 minutes in and I have to say one of the problems the police have with catching offenders is, frankly, there are so many. Scary. Guy is peeping on girls and he's nude but he's not the right suspect. Creepy guy though and I wonder if he offended later?

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

In this case one of the biggest problems was the boneheaded refusal of some police to listen to what others were telling them. Those men - always men - bear great personal responsibility for several of these rapes and murders, with all the catastrophic collateral damage they entailed. And all because of ego. Eternal shame on them.

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

@Brian Jones Have you listened to the investigator testimony in 'The man in the window' LA Times podcast (esp Ep 4, 'Someone else's problem')? It's clear that some connected the crimes in different areas but were not listened too when they tried to draw it to the attention of the next place in line (Santa Barbara, for instance, didn't want to know). He could have been caught many times over had some police been more interested in the victims than their own petty agendas, but once he moved away they breathed a sigh of relief and thought no more of it. What's surely needed is a state-wide public enquiry into how this was mishandled, though no doubt the same protect-our-territory mentality would prevent that prospect even arising. Btw, I was taken by how much the composite with the left parting does look like him, even now (especially the nose). Which personally I don't think is either here or there, since the resemblance was clearly not striking enough for anyone to identify him (how could it be, given the nature of these things?). The other thing that stands out, listening to that podcast, is the crazy statute of limitations of three years for rape, which strikes us in the UK as bizarre beyond belief (although other European countries have the same nonsense). You have incontrovertible DNA and other evidence, and the guy can't be charged.

Vehicles soon started to be made in a manner in which only a main dealer or approved mechanic could work on them with specialized tools provided by the main-dealer to those who agreed to buy parts from them alone.

We need more police like him on old cases as well. He did such an excellent job catching this piece of shit the terror that man put on woman for yrs and it's another cop!!! I just wish more cops were as dillegent as Mr. Holes.....I would like to thank him for his dedicated work in catching this low life he has now allowed these woman peace of mind and many of em to sleep again......we need more cops like him and IAM willing to bet he never shot his gun ( just a thought ) I also think he should do lectures all over the world to teach the police Dept. On how to investigate. Many Many thanks to you sir@Q!

Most Cops are SELLOUT Corporate COCKSUCKERS who, when they arent GORGING THEMSELVES on their Corporate Masters...are finding ways to either line their own pockets OR get their 'hunting humans' on (that's right....The PIG Cops CRAVE opportunities to unload their clip into someone! Why else does it take 40-50 shots to take down an unarmed civilian? In public, these PIG FUCKS act like they are hella 'somber'. However in reality, when they go back to their PIG Cop Lockers/to their local PIG Watering Hole...they whoop it up and high five the fuck out of each other!

[@renataostertag6051]

Yep, he altered his appearance. Changed his hair colour to black and back to other colours. Where is Philip Carlo when you need him?!

Every case De Angelo was involved with as a cop is now tainted. How many people did this ex-cop frame? Will the DA's office go back over every case that D'Angelo handled, technically after his conviction, every trial should be considered a miss trial and that person released IMO. In 1986 DNA testing was in its infancy, so he knew as a policeman that we had to stop or the DNA testing would catch up with him. One thing I find difficult to believe, with all the unsolved murders, burglaries rapes, when his senior officer fired De Angelo. Why didn't he put two and two together, especially stealing dog repellant & hammer? Then same policeman knew then when he had the Intruder come to his house after he fired him. Because I think he was covering for him. De Angelo nearly got away with Blue Murder for 44 years.

great guy. holes is a legend. glad he nailed deangelo.

[@Dawn-iu8nx]

Holes did not nail DeAngelo. He failed.

[@kevinporter861]

He didn't nail anyone... the state of California violated my rights by comparing my DNA without my consent.... doesn't matter of I had nothing to do with deangelo... this is illegal and they know it... I'm as glad as everyone this monster got caught but at what cost?... This is dangerous territory... basically every person in America is related to someone who has submitted their DNA to various genealogy companies.... time well tell but if this doesn't violate 4th amendment protections I'm not sure if anything does... their is nothing you can ever own that is more personal and private than your DNA......

I woulda asked Holes a question I also put on Reddit, which is why he spread out the women's underwear in the Visalia Ransacker cases, what might this have meant to him psychologically, what might he have been trying to communicate www.reddit.com/r/EARONS/comments/hwdca9/any_thoughts_on_why_as_the_visalia_ransacker_he/

What? Could you explain, as I don't understand what you're saying?

[@masterofthepanflute7261]

Holes work with DNA was excellent, the rest of his police work was poor. Not a very good burglar as the Visalia Ransacker? He was never caught, > 100 burglaries. He was not scared, he shot at a policeman, murdered Snelling. He was probably imitating a high school boy as the VR, and it worked. Ken Clark from Sac Sheriff linked him to many burglaries in early 70’s (Cordova Cat) well before his ‘amateur’ work in Visalia and Tulare county. He had ample experience of breaking and entering. He murdered and shot multiple people while prowling, yet he was not scared of anything and kept offending. He was on the anti-burglary task force, took advanced courses in police work. Of course he was a good burglar, he committed hundreds and hundreds of burglaries and many, many rapes and was not caught once over a period of 50 years (only for shoplifting, and by store employees). A childhood friend states he and GSK broke into houses as teenagers, he had 15 + years of burglary experience before Visalia Ransacker timeframe. He also was the Exeter Ransacker before VR. Holes repeatedly denied the linkage between the EAR and the VR, at least he admits to this mistake.

Even DeAngelo is entitled to a fair trial. It seems odd the lead investigator is discussing a pending case so openly and freely and potentially tainting the jury pool. It’s highly unusual and potentially creating appellate issues for DeAngelo.

@@beniteztheconman What have you ever accomplished ass-clown? Nothing? That's what I thought.

[@StofStuiver]

Obviously everyone is entitled to a fair trial. Problem wrt that is that we let ourselves be carried away with emotion bc of the severity of these crimes. You have to shield yourself from that emotion in order to weigh information correctly. Imagine it is about someone that stole a loaf of bread on a number of occasions a long time ago. What is the evidence? Im not that familiar with the case, but this seems to all revolve around the dna. That is not as strong by itself as it may seem. And yes, if this trial is still to start, it may not be such a good thing to go public as this.

To all the California law enforcement officials doing chest bumps over catching this monster... he's been roaming free for over forty years so stop... just stop...and I think your method will ultimately be held as violating the 4th amendment...i don't think people who submit their DNA to these genealogy platforms know that law enforcement has unfettered access...i know I didn't.. my concern is that this genie won't go back in the bottle and therefore threaten the use of DNA altogether in law enforcement for fear of abuse such as in this case... Basically the entire country submitted a DNA sample to this investigation... this smells really bad...

[@pm829]

Calm down sparky. As is evident from this and many other comments you make, you are a poorly educated, low IQ coward who is fearful of the big bad world. That's why you traffic in conspiracy theories and hate police. You should try to get a job and pay taxes for the first time in your heretofore useless life. Perhaps then you will understand how you have wasted your life so far.

Considering the criminals that have been caught through familiar DNA I'm happy about it. It's true the public has lost freedoms but we've been losing them for awhile and at least this is beneficial. People who attack children don't deserve any rights.

[@TheGrandOptimist95]

As long as it's only used for criminal investigations I support it 100%. Also the DNA they research is from people who willingly submitted it to trace their family tree. No different using that as a resource like investigators getting DNA from suspects in public places, like the trash they throw away.
