13 YO Uses True Crime Skills to Survive The Golden State Killer | The Cases of Margaret, Kris & Jane
“Do what I say or I’ll kill you and be gone in the dark”
It’s just before 6:30 AM on October 5th, 1976 when young mother Jane Carson is blindfolded and attacked with her 3YO son in the house. She is victim #5.
2 months later, 15 YO Kris Pedretti stops playing piano, thinking she heard something in the other room, despite being alone in her house. She is victim #10.
A year later, true crime fan Margaret Wardlow studies this serial killer, not knowing that she would become the 27th victim of the man she had read so much about.
He's been known under many different names: the Visalia ransacker, the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker or the Golden State Killer, but 44 years later, 200 witnesses stand in front of him to make sure justice is served.

Could you please, give me the name of the “ true crime “ Channels that glorify the killers? I’m subbed to several true crime channels and watch many more, and I have NEVER seen any of them cover these types of crimes and do it I. A way that glorifies the killers. So...please give me an example of a channel that does it and an example of HOW they did it.
As a father I can safely say not teaching your kids about sex, a rapist in the area, and/or telling your kid not to talk through their trauma is a huge failure as a father. What a horrible parent!

Yeah I agree. I think it’s good to make your kids aware of all of the dangers in the world because you never know what might happen. Keeping them ‘innocent’ won’t help in cases like these. Better be safe than sorry after all. My parents didn’t tell me about it, I learnt through media and social exposure. But I feel like this is sort of the case now with all the Modern technology.

I think you've mischaracterized what the father meant. He didnt want his daughter to be looked upon by others in a shameful way. He possibly didnt want others judging her through gossip and inuendo. It was a way of protecting her. Thats how it was back then. When women who were sexually assaulted often feared talking about it because they felt shame and feared it would attract the wrong kind of attention. Stop judging things by todays standards. How judgemental you are.

My grandmother grew up during segregation and even back when she was a child, questioned why she had to get off the sidewalk for a white person.

Wasn't it because the murderer said to his victims if any of them talked about it or reported it to the cops that he would come back and kill them?

I’ve come across a few cases from long ago like this; families hushing loved ones as though it will bring shame to the family, and either way vindicating any feelings of shame the survivor may already feel. I’m glad things are societally different now. Talking about these things with a professional is the only way to start the healing process. Trauma like that doesn’t simply go away by not speaking of it. It’s simply “out of sight, out of mind” for those viewing the victim, pretending that all is well when it damn well isn’t.

I was SA when I was 12 and 13 by my half brothers father. I kept it hidden for 2 years because I was scared no one would believe me or take me seirously. I told my mom the main part of it but I didn’t tell her the details because I was scared and all the emotions started to come back when I would think about it or talk about it. She didn’t get very much details but she got the biggest part. She kicked him out the house the night I told her about what he did to me and she cried and went out for a walk to breathe. Fast forward about 2 weeks after that she tells me “what he did to you isn’t that bad” she was making me think what happened wasn’t bad. I was shocked by what she had told me and I thought she would understand and relate to me because she had a similar situation like that happened to her when she was younger too. But I guess she didn’t believe me. He don’t live in the house still but we still see him sometimes and he tries to talk to me but I don’t say anything back to him. His stuff is still here and the pictures of him and my mom are still up. A picture of me and him is still up from when I was 11. I tried taking the picture of me and him down but my mom didn’t want me to. She told me it isn’t my fault and that he isn’t a father to me and that it’s his fault and I can tell her anything. But what she has shown makes me think she don’t believe me which is what I was afraid of most. I’m in therapy right now, and I had wrote a letter to my brothers dad but it was for therapy. I had to write what happened to me, how I felt during it and after it, and if I could go back now what would I have done to protect that little 12 and 13 year old girl. I wrote what happened in detail and I read it out loud to my therapist and started crying and those emotions came back. After that I let my aunt read it because I feel like she was the only one who truly believed me even tho she didn’t have anything like that happen to her which is good, but I felt like she fully believed me and what happened. I wrote it in detail and let my aunt read it and I’m not going to let my mom read it until I’m older. I’m about to be 16 on April 21 and I’m having my birthday party on the 15th but I’m scared because I don’t know if my brothers dad will be there. (I have 2 younger brothers I’m the oldest) my brothers dad was at my other brothers dads birthday party in January and I’m scared his dad will be there. (Me and my siblings all have different dads, one brother is 10 and his dad is in prison. My other brother is 3. His dad is the one who SA me when I was 13. And my dad left when I was 3 and I haven’t seen him since) it sucks because I feel like most of my family don’t believe me and it just makes me feel unwanted and unheard. I wanted to share my story about it in hopes someone would believe and actually listen to me. I have had depression since I was 8 or 9 years old from a tramatic experience. I haven’t been able to sleep a full night since I was 8 and I’ve been on high alert ever since. But I’m getting better, very slowly. If anyone reads this please be safe out there and have a good day or night bye :)

You have alot of courage, and that's a good thing. Dont let anyone downplay what happened to you, it didnt happen to them, they dont know how you feel. I'm appalled your mom still obviously has feelings for this guy, she can be having a hard time accepting his betrayal. She should also be seeing a therapist to get over him and understand your situation better. No victim of such a heinous act should have to pretend like its peachy after what they did and have to have what should be a cherished and precious moment be tarnished by their presence. I truly hope your mom doesn't extend an invite to that pos. You've been so strong so far, you have to stay strong, but be smart. Notice the red flags in how he acted, try not to cloud your memories with bias because when you get away from this, you need to know that you're not with or around someone who is just as terrible a person. This world is really full of them. But it also has good people, you just need to know how to identify them. The vilest people can have the most charming smile. Actions can give them away, not just words. I wish I can tell you about the stain I know, but the hindsight burns and the regret is blackening. He was a fake friend, we trusted him too easily. Plan your future, too. It can get better but you need to know what to avoid and where to go. Plan for yourself first, once you are secure you can extend a helping hand but be cautious. Know people, it will be hard but knowing the right people can get you a long ways- a little push of help can have a big impact. I hope you can enjoy the now, dont forget the past, and start planning an out. A great start is get your high school diploma! Graduate. There are a lot of great jobs that just require that- you dont have to even have a high GPA. Just graduating opens so many doors and starts you at a slightly higher than minimum wage job. It honestly seemed trivial to me, but having it has bailed me out of chump jobs, I couldn't believe it. That diploma was even going to get me an even better spot at my job. One day, you will find comfort and be able to get through a night peacefully. I dont think that will happen soon, though, but just be brave, be smart, and know you are courageous and you have authority of your life, you just need to plan and connect with peers who are also striving to go out and become something, or can help propel you forward. Dont settle, research what you can do, seek out scholarships too. You dont have to even go to college you just have to apply to scholarships and you have a chance to get money. They're alot like mini jobs, like write an essay or some simple academic thing. If you have a school counselor, they should have branches you can reach to for scholarships or opportunities to get you some reputation that will give you a leg up in the world. And if they're slags, reach out to your teachers. Dont depend on one, ask many- librarians, coaches, teachers, even your local store cashier might have an opportunity or know something. Your counselor may know something too and can help you get yourself a future. And stay away from drugs, they act like they can help but it just creates a circle of agony. Just find your independence, it's worth the fight, but it is a hard struggle. And watch out for anyone trying to impede you, be tactful- dont trust easy. It's easy to fall into complacency, but you can relax in life once you get a foothold for yourself. Many people have been in your shoes, how you handle it and where you go depends on you, dont let anyone say you cant, show them all you can with or without them. Many have before. I'm weary of your mom, too, I'm worried she may try to jeopardize your future. She doesn't seem like she has been dealt a good hand either, but I dont want her to make you feel like you owe her. You deserve more happiness. You have such a bad hand to deal with, I truly wish you the best, I know I'm just a voice on the internet, but I remember the world feeling like it was trapping me when I was a teen. But now that I'm older and I have a friendly circle who want me to do good in life and better myself, I dont feel that way anymore. I have ups and downs but they're caused by myself now, I dont have anyone breaking into my life unwanted. You can be a rule maker too.

@@joanneheng4475 DNA will do nothing if there is nothing to compare it to and he was not in the database either. Also back in the 80's even 90's there was no consistent national database. There were many. So pinpointing it would have been hard and of course cops usually don't have felony criminal records anyway and their own are rarely originally suspected. Look up Dennis Rader the BTK serial killer cop or forest ranger. His spree started in 1974 and was finally arrested in 2005.
Before I heard he was a cop,I knew it by his method of avoiding detection,I also believe other police were involved in his actions.
I am so proud of these survivors that did not give up. They are finally free.
All the survivors said he had an incredibly small penis. I remember it was debated in court whether he would have to have his penis photographed so they could identify it. I believe the judge ordered that he would have to. What an absolute monster he was. The fact he would call and taunt them years after their attacks is terrifying. These suvivors were brave beyond words. Kudos to the authorities for never giving up. And look how many old crimes have now been solved as a result of genealogy dna. Every perp not yet caught are looking over their shoulder, wondering when they'll be made to face justice. Great video. Thanks so much.

I honestly remember not sleeping at night because I was so afraid. Then Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker) started killing people. The Golden State killer had not been caught. 2 serial killers traveling between Northern CA and Southern CA. They held CA hostage for several years. It was truly terrifying.

He couldn't actually fight, or at least was scared to deal with anyone close to his size, so he broke into homes at night when people were sleeping or when men weren't home so he could catch them off guard and restrain them. He was so insecure about himself that hearing a man say he'd kill him made him feel like he had to "prove himself." But at the end of the day, that man knew exactly what he was. He went out of his way to try to torment his victims and make himself feel powerful, like in those phone calls, but all I hear is a man desperately trying his hardest to be the big bad monster, when he really was just a coward.

@@kaitlynblount7683 I agree with you! That is knowing what we know now though. I would be terrified to receive a call like that, especially knowing a local killer was on the loose. He definitely did sound like an idiot though, reminded me of Ghost Face from Scream. You're right that in hindsight, you can really see how this is a terribly insecure person who wanted to feel powerful but only from behind a mask and over people who were caught off guard.

As a person who lives in Sacramento this was was one of the first cases I ever learned about when I started learning about crime. Personally its crazy to think that if I was born a couple decades earlier this fear would have been my reality. You should also cover the case of Dorothea Puente. She was a serial killer in Sacramento who ran a boarding house, and killed her tenants, and buried them in her garden.

How come it took so long? Could it have been because police in the 70's didn't consider rape a serious crime? Because I remember when I was 13, people saying of a victim "she was lucky it was ONLY rape".
What strong women. The ending made me tear up

Yeah, I couldn't help but think about that. That dude might have actually enjoyed knowing all those women were still affected by him, hurt by him, decades later. Knowing they couldn't move forward, they had to struggle with that trauma for a lifetime might have given him more joy than anything. Since he likes power and being the dominant _maybe_ the small penis comment and laughter did reach him, but I doubt anything they read to him did anything. Especially if we take into consideration the one victim who "annoyed" him was the teenager who act all passive and told him she didn't care.

Michelle McNamara died from a drug overdose, not "an undiagnosed heart condition". The GSK investigation is really what killed her though. She couldn't sleep and was filled with anxiety trying to solve the case (and trying to make deadlines writing her book) so she turned to narcotics. It's very sad but she had an important hand in finally getting this monster off the streets.

I agree but.... at the time he was targeting mid-twenties adults. They felt she wouldn't be a target. However, where opportunity presents itself- evil will strike. They should have sent her to hang out at a friend's house. But it's easy to point fingers and say "should have" after the fact...

I'm absolutely relieved for the survivors that they finally were able to get some closure but justice was and can never actually be served without a time machine. He got to live for almost 50 years no doubt committing more, maybe smaller, crimes that no one will ever know about. I'm glad he was finally caught though. He deserves every second in prison and more. I hope he's miserable.
This channel is great. I subscribe to a lot of police interrogation channels and watch them a lot but this channel is the new one that I will watch every video.
What ab awesome way to uplift the victims, rather than making the killer seem the main character. You made the victims the main character and made empathy available for them.
Love goes out to all these beautiful Survivors..I am glad Justice came and the Heathenous ground dweller can be where he belongs....I applaud these woman...
What's crazy is that I did not expect a video about crime and cold cases to be in a community that I live close to, even if it happened almost 50 years ago
Awesome video! Thank you!
This has to be a TV series, I was on the edge of my seat
I can't imagine living in California in 84 and 85. Between him and Richard Ramirez that poor state must've been terrorized.
It is insane how long he did this without getting caught. Makes me sick. Then, to top it off, he was a copper. Goes to show you really do not know the person next to you and what is going on in their thoughts.
All these women’s stories really are so tragic each one different and the same story💔. My heart truly goes out to every single victim listed and unlisted. I hope u all have healing and happiness💔💐

The video footage in this video hurts my heart. I was living on thr East side of Sacramento when Joe Deangelo was active. I was just a baby so i wasnt in any real danger but my mom was in her early 20s. That neighborhood footage looks like the neighborhood I lived in when I was little and I never thought my neighborhood was anything but safe. Even now, when I see the houses, i get a sense of nostalgia and remember how safe I always felt. I asked my mom after he was busted if she ever worried about being a victim and she said no, that she never took the time to worry about it. I don't know that I would have been so strong in her place. Glad he's off the street. Its unfortunate it didn't happen sooner. Also, there is an audiobook written by Paul Holes called "Evil has a Name" its a really good book. I got it from Audible. I don't know if its available anywhere else.
ive seen the home that he took residency in because my friend lives right next to the house and you always get this eerie feeling when you walk past it
The shame he brought to his wife,children,grandchildren and future generations💔
I used to live in the Sacramento area in the 1990s. This really gave me the chills.
Unseen your content is amazing! Ive watched hours n hours on this case but enjoyed this video like it was the first time I heard about it!
Thanks for the update. The earlier crimes he committed were on my mind a few weeks ago. Glad he is facing the penalties now
I went to high school with his grand daughter, she was younger than me so I didn't know her personally. These things don't usually happen (or at least get the recognition) around here, it's very weird seeing the streets I drive down everyday mentioned in a video like this
Prayers for all involved 🙏 ❤️ 😢
To imagine what he did to those families. Not only the rapes but tying then up, using the dishes so would hear, staying in the house for hours, and then calling some if his victims later. Then the first couple he kills is the man who stood up in the town meeting saying it would never happen in his house if he were there. Just disgusting.
