Good point. And if we include the Visalia Ranscker timeline, those known crimes ran early 1974 to late 1975.

Bonnie broke off their “volatile” engagement in the early 70s. I’ve been looking for an exact date as to when their engagement was announced — and when Bonnie eventually married someone else. Not having much luck.

Anyone here have that info?

Wondering if Bonnie’s remarriage correlates with the beginning of the ransackings, etc.

Clips upthread also show he was caught stealing when he was a juvenile. Knowing he stalked victims, I wonder how far back his history of peeping goes, too.

SMH that there are posts sleuthing innocents... such as Bonnie etc....
 
There are detailed accounts of each attack at coldcase-earons. I’ve been reading and paying particular attention to the description of events that are outlined in the “Immediate Aftermath” section of each numbered attack. The more I read the more it becomes apparent that law enforcement was either totally inept or actually covering for who we now know is DeAngelo.

While I do not think they were outright covering for DeAngelo - and I do know even at that point they were suspecting that EAR/ONS was LE himself or at least ex-military - I think they really had a hesitance to look through their own men at the time. I feel that was a big failure on their part.
 
There are some public records for a home they bought but it was not in his name and they no longer own it.
I’m not sure what sites I can link here but on MyLife, the listing for Joe says he lived in Long Beach, too.
Here’s the address I found in public records by searching his wife’s name, I’m sorry for posting if it’s not allowed.
A child was born while they lived there.

Intellectually lazy? I strongly disagree.

Why would they have any reason to search for or care about what their father was up to before they were born, especially if it was never discussed in the household? And especially if they had zero reason to suspect him in these crimes??

Large, publicly searchable news clip databases are relatively new, and are often used for things like deep-dive genealogy research and investigative reporting. Why would his children be into that? It doesn’t seem logical to me, nor does it seem intellectually lazy.

I still think it's strange. I know every year of my parents' lives, and much more about them before I was born than after I left home. I should think it would come up in school assignments or genealogy research or family reunions. Which just goes to prove that they didn't have those occasions, and didn't really talk as a family. And maybe they did ask, and were shut down.
 
I think he mainly went into homes without dogs, he spent a lot of time doing recon, stalking victims, peeping & prowling.

I think the dog repellent could have also been used to spray his get away. I don't think he always sprayed it on himself. He could have sprayed it in the yards & around where he sat & peeped in windows for hours.

Seems like he sprayed it to cause bloodhounds difficulty getting a trail.
 
Maybe not so strange. He was fired for shop-lifting in ‘79 and his eldest child wasn’t born until ‘81. I can see JJD, who seems pretty arrogant, to not want to talk about something shameful in his past (probably more shamed and angry that he was caught rather than the shoplifting itself.) I could see his lawyer wife also being angry and embarrassed by the situation. I can see a scenario where both decided to never mention the JJD’s prior jobt, especially not to their daughters.
I agree. For a cop to be fired for shoplifting while being married to a lawyer would not have been something they would have wanted to share. He was enraged about the incident when the store personnel detained him by all reports. For anyone but LE it would be minor. He had already committed two murders and numerous rapes and burglaries by this point however, so he was very lucky he was not discovered. It certainly explains his desperation to escape.

So the kids were intellectually lazy, didn't ask their parents about their lives, no one attended family reunions, and they didn't talk as a family? That's a lot to infer from one small tidbit of their lives. There have been a lot of posts here from people saying they understood or had the same experiences wrt their parents' work history. Does your list apply to all of us as well?
 
It’s been reported that DeAngelo’s stepdad worked at Sierra Crane so that may be what’s causing the confusion.

I've seen the newspaper announcement of JD's engagement announcement to "B" via my account on newspapers.com. Since the article includes her full name, I don't want to post it here.

The announcement states that JD worked for Sierra Crane. I am pretty sure his stepfather also worked for the same company. Interesting!
 
Imagine realizing all the years your husband came home to you after nights out raping and murdering.
She must be reliving a lifetime of situations with him.
And I thought my ex was bad.
 
A Monster in Auburn’s Midst?
Alleged Golden State killer a testy cop, next-door neighbor in 1970s Auburn


For three years, Auburn harbored a nightmare in the Jekyll-and-Hyde guise of a serial killer many of the kids in town knew as The Crazy Cop.

That’s the bizarre scenario that Cheryl Brown is trying to get her head around after Wednesday’s bombshell revelation that her family’s next-door neighbor in Auburn during the late 1970s was the Golden State Killer.


We were saying ‘Oh my God, it’s The Crazy Cop,’” Brown said.

Relations between Brown’s family and next-door-neighbor DeAngelo were always testy, particularly when it came to his dislike of their dog, Brown said.

“There was a war of words over the fence,” she said. “He didn’t seem to like kids or dogs and he moved into a neighborhood with lots of kids and dogs. He was an odd duck.”

Then Worthless, the family dog, unexpectedly died.

Brown’s mother confronted DeAngelo after learning from a veterinarian that the cause was poisoned meat.

Brown said she looks back now with a new and chilling perspective on that time.

“I absolutely believe he did it,” Brown said.

Its a long article......
 
I find the fact that someone named their dog "Worthless" to be the most absurd thing I've read in this thread.

I agree. I don't understand the fascination with this.
Why would I care what my parents did before I was born?

I know my Grandpa used to castrate sheep with his teeth as a job.
I also know I have an older half sister out there that doesn't know about us.
I found these two gems out without ASKING anything. I don't WANT to know what else there is!

I don't understand why it matters. How would knowing their dad was a cop fired for shoplifting do any one of these women any good?

Also, it's worth noting that IF they wanted to research their parents it would likely be in the 10-16 years old range. The internet was simply not that mainstreamed yet. Nobody immediately went to "I'll google that!"
 
wow! crazy. black market adoptions so strange.

I would think thats the house he lived in while he was on his .murdering spree in so. Cal. I saw an interview that was posted here of the man that lives there now

And not just raping and murdering but being the most prolific rapist and murderer in your state's history. Finding out you've shared part of your life with a sadist? What are the odds she didn't know of EAR/ONS/GSK until this week? Imagine the horror.
 
Now it's getting confusing with Salty Dog and dog repellent. All we need is hair of the dog and we have a hat trick. :smile:
The hammer too. Harve "The Hammer" Carignan. Serial killer used a hammer. To bludgeon his victims.
 
I’m not sleuthing anything we can’t be sleuthing, which is very clear from my recent comment history, and posts replying to the post you just quoted.

If you’re implying otherwise, please flag posts that might violate ToS instead of reposting them. Or scroll and roll.

I’m not a mod, nor did I sleep in a Holiday In Express last night. Just sharing etiquette and ToS-acceptable suggestions. YMMV. Peace. ✌️

Information like this is public record.

My comment was not directed at any TOS issue.. I just hate that innocence and his family and children and those he knew are being brought into it. It is inevitable but I hate seeing it. It has nothing to do with anything other than that
 
Come to think of it, you're right, they probably didn't; there are no doubt thousands of Joseph DeAngelo's in the world. And he wouldn't have been in the first few pages, as he is now. I have a rare last name, so googling my parents didn't bring up thousands of hits.

I google everything and everyone. If it's a common name, though, it's a waste of time.

So sad. I am one of three daughters, myself, with a... challenging father. I can't even imagine how this has imploded their perceptions of their world and themselves. I appreciate how Holes went out of his way to say they are all "bright, beautiful, and successful." A classy and sensitive thing to do. I don't think he meant to leave anyone out.

I didn’t see that he said that but I’m glad he did. He’s a good man and I’m glad he now gets to enjoy his retirement instead of wondering if he could have done more to catch the man.
