The top middle sketch and the bottom right look a lot like him. The one with the giant, padded jockstrap on the bottom leftnot so much. Did he actually wear that getup to one of his crimes?
Does anyone think JJD will confess?
Hey thanks keeley! I somehow missed that at the press conference i;m sorry. Was anyone else bothered by the way they are politicizing this to make it an issue about collecting dna from non violent offenders? I think the real overall issue here is Police Integrity! Seriously this guy was TERRORIZING California and he's a ****ing police officer? You want to collect dna from non violent drug offenders when all you had to do was collect dna from police officers? What in the actual ****!?
So you want DNA from non offending police officers but not non violent drug offenders? Seems irrational given the statistics on who is more likely to be a violent murderer....and he killed most of the people (we know about anyway) after he was fired.
true... who knows. I think mail men buy it too.
I wanna know where this guy was before 1976.
This guy was married more than once it seems.
I'm not a geneticist, so I can't explain the fine points, but it would be similar to the way they recently identified the "Buckskin Girl" whose body was found back in the early 80's. LE can ask one of these services that maintain DNA databases from people who submit it. They're able to sort out which people whose DNA they have on file are a similar or "familial" match to the UID or killer. They then contact that person or persons and ask them to help identify who the killer might be. They'd have to go through a process of elimination, checking backgrounds, etc.
My other theory is that the recent tip (I recall the sheriff said they received it 6 days ago) came from another retired LEO who perhaps worked with him in the past and maybe always thought him hinky. Could have also been a former co-worker from another job.
Just guessing, but he may not have had a lot of close friends, so outside of his family, co-workers would be next in line as people who knew him.
He apparently has already confessed to being the Visalia Ransacker, so I imagine he is slowly going through his crimes year by year with detectives as we speak.
I haven't been following this case. A friend of mine tells me that the rapist supposedly made phone calls to the victims and that they said he had a Mexican accent. Is that true?
Why do you think it was some type of complicated reverse image photo search rather than just believing what was said, that it was a DNA match from DeAngelo to DNA evidence they had on file from a crime?
Police departments now do take DNA from their officers. They have to order to exclude them from DNA found during investigations.
I'm surprised "Bonnie" didn't recognize him or have her radar go off. Did they release the information about him calling the victim bonnie, way back then?
