No, but what does that have to do with anything? In fact, he was responsible for knowing the details of the employees he supervised, even more so because they are cops. Are you trying to tell me that the story of 'the cop they had to fire for shoplifting' was not burned into his memory? It must have been talked about for years. And, was that not odd? Why would a man with a decent salary steal those small items? Why was that not talked about?

Even though he is retired, he does not want an investigation opened up into whether, or not Deangelo was doing this stuff when he was a cop, whether he used knowledge he gained as a cop to commit the crimes. His behavior, as a police officer must have been documented, and it may have even been this guy who wrote it down. Especially when it came to his firing. Nobody ever said "why dog spray, Joe?" "why a hammer, Joe?". You risked your entire career to steal some cheap items. Both of which would come in hand to invade a home, and bludgeon somebody to death. Whether it was rural or not, it was a peaceful enough area that two cops at a time could handle everything, and they "backed each other up" so that means that there was likely only one thing ever happening at a time. Matter of fact, I worked with a guy 17 years ago who actually did murder his girlfriend. That was a long time ago, but eve though I, and everyone else was surprised to hear it, I could tell you a lot about him that would be of interest considering what happened. And, I worked with a dozen other guys at the same place. Joe Deangleo's neighbor said he threatened to kill his dog, and cussed his mom out. Hard to believe this guy only did this one extremely odd thing of shoplifting a hammer , and dog repellent during the whole time he was a cop.

7:12 Bad answer. This police chief apparently hasn't gone back and looked at the timeline. After DeAngelo was terminated, he took a break of a few months, then never again committed a crime in the east area. His crimes moved west and south, and while he moved on to more serious crimes (more murders), they were less frequent in number. Not to mention the fact that back then, people did not connect EAR and ONS. So it should have been obvious to anyone who thought about it back then that as soon as DeAngelo was fired from his job, he stopped raping in the East Area.

Of course DeAngelo's fellow cops are going to say they didn't see any signs. Maybe that's true, maybe not, but there's a motivation to say they didn't see any signs today because the next question is, "Why didn't you do anything about your suspicions?" What these cops are doing now is normal; I would deny any suspicions I had of DeAngelo too if I were them. Anything you say can and will be used against you, so just saying "No, I saw no signs that DeAngelo was the GSK" is the smartest thing to say. I don't blame them at all.

A lot of things are clearer now because we know who he is so I don't want to judge too harshly. Having said that, I still have some questions. I know the department was in Auburn but they must have been following the case, talking to LEO in Sacramento, even just reading about it in the paper, talking to their spouses or neighbors. It seems like in that small a department; the Chief said, sometimes only two officers working at a time, someone would have noticed that JJD was never or almost never on duty when the EAR attacks occurred? (I'm making an assumption here). Did they ever call his house on short notice and find out he wasn't home when he probably should've been? When JJD is caught shoplifting as someone said earlier, he has to be tied to a chair. That's not just forgetting to pay for a pack of gum, that doesn't sound like a one time lapse in judgement. Maybe let's take a look at what else is he doing on his days off? Even if it's just an internal report designed to protect the department. I I don't think any of them suspected he was the EAR. But it sounds like they just wanted to put the whole thing behind them and probably didn't ask as many questions as they should have.

Жыл бұрын

I'm pretty sure colleagues did notice he was absent a lot and one day they had even checked in on him at home and he wasn't there. I think the case could have been solved but unfortunately it wasn't. However the issue would have been how to prove it at the time. They would have needed to get the trophies he had kept over the years or else there wouldn't be any good evidence tying him to the crimes. Although DNA evidence would later prove it was him. Better late than never though.

From 1976 to 1986, there were telephones available at all times. Of course not texting, but there would be more reliance on phone calls. I'm sure DeAngelo got phone calls from work--the Aurora Police Department--with work related issues.. DeAngelo's boss at the Aurora PD said there were no warning signs. I kinda doubt that, but there's no proof.

I wonder how many suspect one of their coworkers is a evil serial killer. It must be quite hard to digest for anybody, it is so far removed from normal experience.

This man was a Sargeant when DeAngelo worked there, I believe, and be ame chief later. When DeAngelo was fired, he reportedly threatened to kill the then-current Chief of Police. The chief also suspected him of stalking his home for a time. And look at what he shoplifted...a claw hammer and dog repellant! (I assume that means a product like Halt! which is basically mace for dogs) That's a fairly ominous shopping trip to try to slip under the radar. I don't blame them at all for failing to connect the dots; who would ever believe such a bland, thoroughly mediocre coworker was a rapist and murderer? But the end of his career there *was* extremely alarming. You'd think those details would stand out in the mind of anyone who knew them at the time. But maybe the Chief didn't share that information?

The shoplifting incident and his crime spree seemingly ended in the Sacramento area were around the same time. He moved on down the road to continue doing what he was doing.

No indicators... except that he was arrested for stealing dog defense spray and a hammer...

This man did not answer truthfully. According to Paul Holes, this man said he heard that DeAngelo threatened to off him and that he was certain that Deangelo was outside his daughter’s bedroom with a flashlight. But never put it together….?

What's up with those couches?

He doesn't seem surprised.

caught thank God

Psychopaths are experts at seeming normal. From the sounds of it, DeAngelo seemed exactly average in every possible way.

He does seem embarrassed and/or surprised .

At 1:50 when he starts talking about being embarrassed the guy was a cop... The next thing he says is "I just wish there was something we could have seen or done".. I don't know why that follow up bothers me but I doubt police willingly bring other police to justice (usually) to avoid embarrassment. There are so many instances of cops covering for other cops. Avoiding embarrassment seems to be the least of worries. Often times the D.A. covers for police and even many judges give police a perjury pass.

Would be nice to be able to hear the questions.... and not hear the cell phone.

If someone with a gun kills 15 people we say ban guns and only police should have them. I say learn from this killer/rapist/theft video right here.

For instance, on the plan, many of what looked like commercial bldgs looked like they had AC units drawn on the roofs, and many roofs had the ridge details drawn, leading me to speculate he could have been an AC installer or roofer- which would give him opportunity to get into neighborhoods and scope out victims/ escape routes from above. I can’t WAIT to find out what he was doing from1979 to 1989!

If he was a genuinely brilliant person, he would have been able to find a way to work through his mental issues so he wouldn't have committed crimes. Overall, he didn't have an excess of brain activity, but was missing something in his thinking. He was missing the ability to value other people and consider their feelings.

And a lot of the times he committed his crimes were the same time slots that he was supposedly working. I mean come on! Also some of the Visalia cops from his burglaries and the one murder went to Sacramento after hearing about the EAR and said they should work together it’s likely the same guy and there suspect killed someone.

There actually was speculation back then by investigators that he might be either ex-military or police. And when they assembled a statewide investigative team, they chose to rule out from the team anyone whose saliva doesn't show their blood type. They knew the rapist/killer was in the 11% of the human population whose saliva doesn't show their blood type, and they didn't want the rapist/killer on the investigative team. (This was back in the 70s, before DNA testing was what it is today.) I agree with you that someone should have put two and two together when he was fired for stealing a hammer and dog repellant. That happened in his hometown of Citrus Heights, the same town where he raped several women. It was reported in the Auburn newspaper at the time, but unfortunately, apparently not in any other newspapers.

His DNA profile was found at multiple crime scenes, his semen was inside these women, he is definitely the man responsible for these crimes.

The DNA is a 100% perfect match. Not to mention all the circumstantial evidence, like he was dumped by a woman named Bonnie and the East Area Rapist would complain about Bonnie.

Daniel Anderson "His DNA profile was found at multiple crime scenes, his semen was inside these women, he is definitely the man responsible for these crimes." True as far as that goes. However, that doesn't constitute "legal proof". This is still a nation of the rule of law, and as such, he is still deemed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty -- in a court of law, where he is allowed a trial as well as a public defender. Not in the Kangeroo court of KZread where some want him flayed to the bone or worse.

daisy doyle HE IS GUILTY. Many people go to court guilty everyday, but he, like you, has the right to LEGAL REPRESENTATION. And HE like YOU may FOOLISHLY plead not guilty. Believe it or not some people do PLEAD GUILTY but they still need a lawyer to protect them. Some people are indeed suspects (not necessarily guilty) in the true sense & prosecutors have to prove guilt. But some like this guy LEFT HIS SPERM @ rape & murder scenes. The only other DNA was that of the victims. 😱 So who else could've committed the crimes? Do you understand now?

hate the way the guy conducted the interview, it was almost as if he wanted to drop a hint that the police dept. at that time was responsible for not catching him in time.

Joe DeAngelo was able to elude police for so long because he moved to different locations in California. Communications between law enforcement agencies were not as sophisticated as today. Mass communications with law enforcement agencies was not by wide spread internet but by CLETS (California Law Enforcement Teletype Service). You could "shotgun" notices out to all agencies but there were hundreds sent daily. I am pretty certain DeAngelo did not believe the DNA technology would advance as it did, if he considered it all, compared to pre DNA testing means. It is sad this whole series of horrific killings and rapes happened at all. Peace Officers in any capacity, should be held to a higher standard. I can see no other proper sentence for this man other than the death penalty. Not only did he betray the public's trust, he raped and murdered those he swore to protect. The Auburn Police Chief fired him as soon as he pleaded guilty. He was suspended as soon as the Sacramento Police notified him. Nobody can predict what someone is going to do with 100% certainty. The California authorities did a great job here and never gave up. He will die in prison before all of his trials are adjudicated.

Code3Forever Hope not. They can only get him on the murders. The Snelling murder now known as the first. So that makes 13 plus the attempted murder of Det McGowen

Thank God for Geneology DNA

"You wouldn't typically expect a police officer to be involved in this type of activities." No? I would. Police officers are not selected for their sterling character.

what are they selected for?

But today, it would be difficult (or impossible) to fire a kop who commits a crime, thanks to the "peace officer's bill of rights" This legislation is in California code 3300 onward. It would seem that this law now is an inducement that attracts criminal types into this line of work.

Yeah a normal Joe, he was right up under your nose, y'all were lazy!!!

Wow this guy is really taking the 5th lol! There's nothing to se here!

I wonder why he felt the need to shoplift just a hammer and mace.... I mean was he hurting financially, or was he a thrill seeker?

Pretty sure he didn't want to be on record as buying these items, but yeah he was a super arrogant criminal. AND low ranking cops were paid like shit back then

He was a terrible cop because he was out being a brilliant criminal

The interviewer is not good.... He never asked the BIG QUESTIONS like if he talked to Joseph Deangelo about the ransacker and rape that happened during his time there....

There is proof that they had information on this guy from the very beginning police departments or notorious for covering up for their own criminals. Black people have seen this sheet in this country for more than 40 50 60 years

Pigs always protect their kind. they knew all along, they just wanted him to retire with benefits. Trust no pig

My left EAR just got raped

I would

They are fishing for something that isn’t there let it go. My god.

I hope they hold him in high security..... If he gets out he would disappear

It's inexcusable that DeAngelo wasn't caught earlier. Investigators have been saying even since the time of the crimes that the perp could have experience as a cop. Why was DeAngelo never even on the investigators' radar? Sacramento was much smaller in the 1970s, and Auburn, Visalia, and Exetor were especially tiny. It would not have taken that many man hours of work to make a list of every cop employed in the area in the 1970s, then start ruling each one out one by one.

DiAngelo makes me want to take a knee. To suggest the military and law enforcement is criminal free is ludicrous. Law enforcement attracts criminals.

Damn I was hoping this guy had some juicy tidbits. I guess EAR knew how to blend in. But the whole shoplifting thing with no attempt to explain or defend is a red flag.
