I listen to a huge amount of podcasts: Casefile, True Crime Guys, True Murder All The Time and True Murder All The Time Unsolved, Monster, Criminology, Unresolved, UnFound, True Crime Sisters, True Crime Brewery, True Murder, Unsolved Murders and many more.
But the podcast I recommend is called
12-26-75. It initially dealt with the murder of two young girls (Donna Richmond and Jennifer Amour) and lately has focused on the East Area Rapist / Original Night Stalker.
This podcast was stating well over year ago that the Visalia Ransacker was the same man as the East Area Rapist, despite some senior investigators in the case such as Paul Holes stating repeatedly in public that they were NOT the same man.
Now that Joseph James DeAngelo Jr has been arrested (and charged with thirteen counts of murder!) we know that he was indeed the Visalia Ransacker AND the East Area Rapist.
It is a very detailed orientated, no nonsense podcast, and the hosts stuck their necks out by arguing against the public face of the case, and have subsequently been proven to have been 100% correct about the Visalia Ransacker being the same offender as the East Area Rapist / Original Night Stalker.
Ep. 8 The Visalia Ransacker, Part One
Ep. 9 The Visalia Ransacker, Part Two
Ep. 10 The Visalia Ransacker, Part Three
Ep. 13 VR = EAR?
ps Even if people have never heard of this case, the podcast is a fascinating study in one of the most prolific offenders of all time, who was an active duty policeman for 48 of his 49 known rapes.
This case will be studied for decades to help understand the errors made along the way that allowed one offender to progress from being the Visalia Ransacker, through to East Area Rapist, through to Original Night Stalker.
