Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert led a team of investigators to track down the suspect,
a 72-year-old ex-police officer arrested on Tuesday.
I thought it was crazy. I mean, you know, them finding like a guy like 40 years later.
I'm pretty glad that they were able to ascertain who it was.
Turns out investigators created a genetic profile from decades-old crime scene data.
from decades-old crime scene data.
In 2018, a man with thinning white hair was pushed into a Sacramento courtroom in a wheelchair,
wearing an orange prison jumpsuit.
More than 40 years after he began terrorizing communities
across California in a string of rapes and murders, Joseph James D'Angelo,
the so-called Golden State Killer, had been caught at last.
D'Angelo, a 72-year-old retired cop, had committed at least 13 murders and 50 rapes
throughout the 70s and 80s.
The arrest was a stunning feat.
The law armoured the law,
reaching back through four decades
to solve a seemingly unsolvable case.
And it hadn't happened through some lucky break.
D'Angelo was caught using a game-changing police technique.
One that would pave the way for detectives around the world
to crack
open their own murder investigations, including those that had long since gone cold.
From the Toronto Star, this is 40 Years Cold.
Episode 2, The Science, coming this Monday, June 24th.
