Identifying the Golden State Killer: An Interview with Paul Holes and Barbara Rae-Venter

Ғылым және технология

In April of 2018, news broke that the elusive Golden State Killer had been identified through a new technique called genetic genealogy (or investigative genealogy). In just 4 ½ months, Paul Holes and his team (including genealogist Barbara Rae-Venter) put a name to the man who had terrorized California for years.
In this interview, Paul and Barbara discuss working on the case together, how genetic genealogy has helped solve other cold cases and what they foresee for the future, how their lives have changed since news broke of their involvement, and what’s next for them.

    Still, they could have got him had they checked on a cop as a possible culprit. Did they? The chief of police of Auburn couldn't make 2 and 2 about DeAngelo's reaction to his being fired from him, his threat to him and the unknown who spied on his daughter with a torch. Nobody asks Holes about that in the interviews I've seen so far.

    His lawyers are seeking a plea deal, He(DeAngelo)is willing to plead guilty if he can get life in prison. Considering that there is a colossal amount of evidence,it's could take years before it even goes to trial.If they reach a deal for life in prison, he should be required to allocute to each and every crime.
