Gimme all the Golden State Killer updates!
So my friend Heather told me about this very telling audiobook 🎧that covers the forensics 🧫 collected throughout the Golden State Killer’s case (from 1976 to 1986) which ultimately led to the arrest of De Angelo last year. And I had to give it a listen!
What’s unique about this GSK story is it ends! For the past 40 years, there’s been no ending to the Golden State Killer case and most people thought he’d be another Zodiac or Jack the Ripper and would just get away without ever being held accountable. ⚖️But that changed on April 24, 2018.
This book outlines the journey that both forensic science 🔬and curious minds (Paul Holes) took to keep fighting for the truth. You learn a shit ton about DNA 🧬(I’m basically a scientist 👩🏻‍🔬now) and communicative advancements between departments/counties/states - like having CODIS!!
If this seems of interest to you, give it a listen. It’s heavy and horrific, but justice does prevail.

Murderino Reading Challenge 2019: A true crime audiobook
This book is SUPER intense. I would recommend reading Michelle McNamara’s I’ll Be Gone in The Dark first.
This is mostly interviews with the detectives and the victims. It is direct and pulls no punches. You will be listening to victims describe their attacks, so be prepared.

I've gotten really into the true crime stuff recently, and this is about as recent as true crime stories get outside of the newspaper.
The case of the "Golden State Killer" — aka "the Original Nightstalker", aka "the East Area Rapist", aka "the Visalia Ransacker" — was only solved last year. This is hot off the press stuff, and it is fascinating.
That "Serial" podcast everyone was going bananas over a couple years back (booooring)? This is WAY better than that.
After committing like 50-something rapes and several murders over a 10-year period in the 1970s and 1980s, the Golden State Killer just stopped. He disappeared.
Did he die?
Did he move?
Did he get married?
WTF happened?
But no, this guy was still out there, living in a nice middle class neighborhood, until inspector his guy was only caught LAST YEAR, and only then thanks to the dedication of forensic criminologist Paul Holes and the people around him.
One of those other people who comes in for praise here is Michelle McNamara, author of [b:I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer|35068432|I'll Be Gone in the Dark One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer|Michelle McNamara|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1499131009l/35068432._SY75_.jpg|56363890]. McNamara sadly didn't live long enough to see the killer caught, but the assistance she gave appears to have helped bring the sick bastard to justice.
In my recent review of [b:The Last Days of August|43450715|The Last Days of August|Jon Ronson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546507370l/43450715._SX50_.jpg|67556031] I mentioned that I was canceling my Audible membership because Amazon owns Audible and, as we all know, Amazon sucks. Well, I didn't realize that I had ordered this before I canceled, so that's why I'm reviewing this "Audible Original" now. Just a disclaimer so you don't think I'm a hypocrite.
(Although maybe I am, because I read the other day that Goodreads is also operated by Amazon. Is that true? Can that be true?? NOOOOOOOOO!)
This is so worth listening to, though, because it actually features interviews with all the main people involved in the case (GSK and McNamara aside).
It's just a crime it's only available on Audible.

Chilling and the perfect companion to I'll Be Gone in the Dark
Must read/listen if you enjoyed “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark.”
Paul Holes, oohh be still my true crime loving little heart!! His dogged drive to solve this case and bring this evil monster out into the light of day is nothing short of amazing. Hearing first hand accounts from some of these women who were attacked, as well as families of the victims, and some of the other pivotal team players who helped to solve this case makes this an unquestionably fascinating listen. I highly recommend this one to any fans of true crime, it is well told and is so in depth.
