Bizarre in that a few of the attacks he actually used a penis pump. He was also known to have a small dick. In one episode he entered a woman's bedroom and shined a flashlight in her eyes, then he said, "I took a dollar off your dresser." The woman replied, well put it back and get out of my house. So he left two dollars, then went down the hallway and entered her daughter's bedroom. She yelled at him to leave and then he just decided to leave.

Golden State Killer pleads guilty to 26 charges in raping and killing spree


SACRAMENTO — Four decades after he started sneaking into homes, tying up victims, raping women and killing couples, former police officer Joseph DeAngelo pleaded guilty Monday to 26 charges of murder and kidnapping, admitting what pioneering forensic science had already proved — he was the sadistic Golden State Killer.

His acceptance of a plea deal spared him death, a reprieve the 74-year-old never offered more than a dozen men and women he shot and bludgeoned to death during a 12-year spree of rapes and killings during the 1970s and ’80s. He only stopped, prosecutors believe, when he was no longer able to overpower victims.

The admission of guilt guarantees that DeAngelo will be sentenced to life without parole.

DeAngelo was charged with 13 counts of murder, with additional special circumstances, as well as 13 counts of kidnapping for robbery in six counties, including Contra Costa. Investigators believe he was responsible for more than 60 rapes, including some in Santa Clara and Alameda counties, but the statute of limitations expired on those crimes.

Sitting in a wheelchair and wearing an orange jumpsuit and a plastic visor over his face Monday, DeAngelo was taken into a university ballroom, where officials read detailed accounts of each crime. On one side of the room stood his victims and their families, and on the other stood law enforcement officials and prosecutors.

DeAngelo confirmed aloud he had accepted the plea deal. By mid-afternoon Monday, prosecutors had read through graphic accounts of more than 20 crimes, many laced with details of a masked DeAngelo threatening to blow victims’ brains out or puncture their necks with a knife, as well as rummaging through their homes before disappearing in silence.

Each crime summary culminated with the judge asking DeAngelo how he pleaded to the crime.

“Guilty,” DeAngelo said in a croaky voice.

The judge then asked him about specific allegations in each crime, such as using knives and firearms.

“I admit,” DeAngelo said in response to the allegations.

The 62 uncharged crimes, most of them rapes of women and girls, occurred in Sacramento, Yolo, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Alameda, Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties, according to authorities. They expect DeAngelo to admit to those crimes.

Last year, district attorneys in Sacramento, Santa Barbara, Orange and Ventura counties decided to pursue the death penalty. But with DeAngelo’s advanced age and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order halting executions, it was doubtful he would ever be put to death.

Sitting alone in an interview room following his 2018 arrest, DeAngelo talked to himself, according to remarks released by prosecutors Monday.

“I did all that,” he said. “I did all those things. I’ve destroyed all their lives … I raped. So now I gotta pay the price.”

At that point, prosecutors said, “DeAngelo knew he had been caught.”

Monday’s hearing was moved from a cramped Sacramento County Superior courtroom to a Sacramento State University ballroom to provide space for social distancing with a large number of victims expected to attend amid the coronavirus pandemic.

DeAngelo struck fear in the hearts of residents from Sacramento down to Orange County. He would target sleeping couples, break into their suburban homes in a mask, tie the man up and place dishes on his back as a makeshift alarm. He would threaten to kill couples before raping the woman. His crimes earned morbid monikers: Visalia Ransacker, East Area Rapist and Original Night Stalker.

Over the years, investigators connected some of the Southern California murders with a series of rapes in the Bay Area and the Central Valley, and the suspect was named the Golden State Killer. Officials now believe he committed crimes in 11 counties from 1974 to 1986.

Two years ago, investigators decided to use a family genealogy website that stored a massive database of genetic profiles from amateur sleuths looking to find long-lost relatives. They uploaded the Golden State Killer profile to GEDmatch.com and got a hit. A distant relative of DeAngelo’s had uploaded a DNA profile, and investigators mapped out family trees and slowly narrowed down possible suspects.

The genetic road map eventually led to DeAngelo, a grandfather living in Citrus Heights (Sacramento County). Police surveilled his home in a quiet residential neighborhood and eventually confirmed the match by pulling DNA from his car door and a tissue in his garbage.

The effort not only caught one of California’s most notorious criminals, but it also launched a new era of crime-solving where genetic genealogy is used to crack dormant cases. That technique and DeAngelo’s crimes garnered worldwide interest, launching a best-selling book, a six-part HBO documentary that premiered Sunday, podcasts and countless television shows.

Since his arrest, DeAngelo has appeared increasingly frail, losing weight and rarely showing any emotion.

DeAngelo was fired from the Auburn Police Department in 1979 after he was caught shoplifting. He had previously worked as an officer in Exeter from 1973 to 1976, not far from where the Visalia Ransacker robbed more than 100 homes in the Central Valley.

DeAngelo also talked to himself in 1979, when he was stopped shoplifting dog repellent and a hammer.

After trying to run away, the store’s security tied him to a chair. He pretended to have a heart attack and babbled until sheriff’s deputies arrived and he asked to speak to them privately. He told them he was a police officer and had just pretended to act crazy to avoid getting in trouble.

Debbi Domingo McMullan, whose mother, Cheri Domingo, was murdered by DeAngelo along with boyfriend Greg Sanchez in 1981, stood with her brother Monday wiping away tears as a prosecutor read horrific details. Her mother was bludgeoned at least 10 times and raped by DeAngelo in Santa Barbara.

On Monday, she finally heard DeAngelo take responsibility and a judge declare him guilty.

“It was hard to stay on my feet,” Domingo McMullan said during a break.

Jane Carson-Sandler, only identified by prosecutors as Jane Doe 20, said she approached DeAngelo on Monday because she wanted him to look at her when he admitted his guilt. Although he did not look at her, Carson-Sandler said it had been an “extremely emotional day.”

“Look what he’s done to some of these other women,” Carson-Sandler said. “It’s just heartbreaking to hear what they’ve gone through and what we’re still all going through. Admitting his guilt is one thing, but this will never be over for us. We’ll never truly have closure.”

“Our wounds heal, but our scars remain,” she said.
