Publisher's Summary
The Golden State Killer. The East Area Rapist. The Original Night Stalker. The Visalia Ransacker.
The monster who preyed on Californians from 1976 to 1986 was known by many aliases. And while numerous police sketches tried to capture his often-masked visage, the Golden State Killer spent more than 40 years not only faceless, but nameless.
For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. To be sure, the chances of obtaining closure—or any form of justice—after so many years were slim to none, at best.
Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. After a decades-long hunt, a suspect was behind bars. Could it be that evil finally had a name?
Delivering all-new details about the investigation and a stunning final act to the events of Michelle McNamara's haunting bestseller, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, this is the true story of how the suspected Golden State Killer was captured, as told, first-hand, by those closest to the case:
Paul Holes—the forensic criminologist and retired Costa County detective who spent 20 years trying to crack the Golden State Killer case, and finally did.
Jim Clemente (Host)—a retired FBI profiler and former New York City prosecutor who has investigated some of the highest profile criminal cases in U.S. history, including the Unabomber.

Captivating
I am only new to Audiobooks and I don't think this story would have the same impact via a book. I found myself sighing and groaning as the many disappointments were elaborated. It was so well compiled and informative. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Great Format
What an interesting was to present the story. Almost across between an audio book and a podcast.

Narrated by the lead investigator! So interesting
I really enjoyed this audio book. It’s never dull, and you hear from the cops and some of the survivors. Well put together. My only negative comment is that some of the interview segments are poor audio quality.
Would recommend this one to true crime lovers!
-note - some graphic scenes are described.

Brilliant!!
Absolutely loved this! recommend to any true crime buffs but in particular it's a must for anyone with an interest in EAR/Golden State Killer. another reviewer complained due to it not being a book. No, it's not a book, but does that really matter if the content is A+?

Great to listen along with Man in the window
this is a great accompaniment to the Man in the Window podcast. This follows the investigation and capture of the Ear/ONS/GSK. IF YOU ARE INTO INVESTIGATION I 100% WOULD RECOMMEND.

Incredible!
Congratulations everyone, this was truly incredible! Also with a great New Zealand connection that really has gone under the radar there for some reason.

Gripping
I knew the outcome but still found myself on the edge of my seat. I loved the narrators. I loved the various speakers. It was easy to follow yet still complex. Great work
