Well him being an ex-cop certainly explains how he got away with it for so long...
Hopefully the victims' families find some peace now.
I was gifted I'll Be Gone in the Dark and was planning on starting it this weeked. If Michelle McNamara had any little bit to do with catching this guy I hope she gets the recognition that she is due.
Did her ex-husband have her killed?

Died of a heart condition that was triggered by the medication she was taking.
I kid, I kid
which can do more with less, so to speak. I had a case like this back in the early '90's where we knew who are target was, but we were waiting on the DNA testing method to be able to reconstruct from skin cells, IIRC.
and for total numbers, look up the randy kraft case - 64 murders/mutiliations, including two in GR. we caught him in socal and prosecuted him for his murders there. horrible, gory stuff. i believe he and manson and david brown were all housed in the same unit, at least for a while. quite a trio, those 3.

Favorite National Park? Golden State Killer arrested? Only on MGoBlog...but one of the reasons I like it.
For those that don't know his late wife had a healthy obsession with this case.
My initial response was 'no politics!' but then I realized that I was thinking of the wrong NorCal serial killer
Unbelievable. DNA got him. The guy was absolutely crazy. Cannot believe that he got away with it so long. Did not have a dad growing up.

is taken off the street (or planet) - even if its 40 years after the crimes
hope this helps the victims and their families find some peace

Being a police officer probably allowed him to slip in and out of situations without suspicion.
Hope they find the Zodiac next....

Joking about women's private parts after being raped is never funny.

But yeah, your snowflake mind couldn't make that simple leap. On the contrary, you go straight to a strawman. Get your mind out of the gutter, stop projecting.

your post.
Fact that he was a cop explains a lot about how the investigation went sideways for so long...maybe!
well, we all knew it wasn't Lebron.....
I respectfully disagree. 2016 LeBron didn't care about the record-setting Warriors. 2016 LeBron lead the first and only 3-1 comback in Finals history. 2016 LeBron was the Golden State killer.
Well, GS beat the lebron and the cavs in '15 and '17. 1 out of 3 ain't bad, but .333 is a better batting average than winning percentage.
2015 LeBron had no Love or Irving to support him. 2017 LeBron had to fight an overly stacked Warriors team that more or less is/was a team of All-Stars. Numbers only tell half the story.

whatever...... he beat them once out of three tries, he's no GS killer.
