The Golden State Killer - Part 3: The Dark Arts of DNA Databases | #462

RedHanded · 2026-08-06

To find the most prolific and violent serial rapist and killer the state of California had ever seen, took over fifty years, and some ethically questionable methods. Public DNA databases were trawled without their users consent, samples were entered under false pretences, and hundreds if not thousands of people had their rights violated.

But, they did eventually catch their man, and walk him up the garden path, leaving a roast to overcook in the oven.

Join us in part 3 of our now 4 part series on the Golden State Killer as we discuss how Joseph James DeAngelo was finally caught.
