Why did Michelle die??????
Linda Parisi Defense Attorney
If I were a victim, I don't think I would give an impact statement. Criminals have no heart and I guarantee the majority of them delight in hearing these statements.
Understood. And yet, the statements are also an opportunity to give victims some closure. It is for them just as much as it is for the court.
I agree I wouldn't do it when my sister got murdered as ibhave nothing to fuking say to him at all
Impact statements don’t have to be directed towards the defendant… you can give an impact statement as a plea to the judge or jury to give them the max sentence/not show leniency.
I wouldn't want to either and I don't believe it gives anyone closure but those statements are for the judges ears. I would speak to the judge and make certain (s)he feels compelled to give the maximum.
This devil in a meat suit seems to be enjoying himself; you can see it around his eyes, even though the lower half of his face is covered.
He is a disgusting individual. What makes his apology even more useless is the fact that he was rolled in to that courtroom like a feeble old man. Mouth open, hunched over in an attempt to garner even a tiny bit of sympathy. The DA then releases the video of him in his cell climbing around and exercising. Proof that his attempt to manipulate carries on to this very day and nothing has changed.
Obviously if he's raped 50+ women, and murdered 13+, his criminal thinking / behaviors aren't going to just stop because he is old
Oh damn, I didn't know that about him exercising in his cell! Ugh
He's a text book professional sociopath.
Remember he was a police so he saw people do this alot so it doesn't surprise me that he knows how to play these con game's
@@Wisdom-sl3ts You're absolutely right.
I love how he tried to play elderly and unable to do anything, then they had a hidden camera in his cell, and he was as spry and noble as a teenager!
Noble? I think you mean mobile...there is nothing noble about him at all.
It breaks my heart every time I see a victim, friend, or family member pouring out their anguish to a psychopath, justifiably devastated and outraged yet having no clue that their pain is spectacularly gratifying to the criminal.
It’s their “supply”,i agree.
It's an absolute nightmare to realize that people like this exist all around us...and they WANT to hurt us. It's so twisted and callous
It is but also so fascinating….. I’m obsessed with learning about these people
Evil is amongst us. The devil is not fictional.
@@pAusten ok sure if you define the devil as this guy
When I heard the phone call
I was like is that a child?!
Well, the chances of being a victim of someone like the golden state killer (a stranger). Is rare.
You've got to wonder how many aged killers are out there, and how many that died , and never got caught.
I was thinking the very same thing. They are most certainly out there
Zodiac, for one. And then there are all the unidentifieds whose remains are listed in The Doe Network and NAMUS databases. Even when they're identified, the question remains: Who murdered them?
As many reading this know, there is that class of serial killers who roam, selecting their victims as need, urge and desire within them dictate.
It could be the president of your church, the Air Force Colonel, the tenured college professor, or the decent hardworking family man on your block.
love the police gloated , 40 damn years is no justice , he is old and lived his life . how many more he killed we will not know
Scary thought that's for sure.
Alot especially in our government
All of these survivors are just beyond amazing.
New Science and people applying it got him caught. He eluded for so long because he was once one of the people that were after him so he knew the ins and outs. The only thing none of them could predict is where technology would go in the future.
Two of them are very good friends with our family, before the rapes and still to this. God bless all of them though............. 🙏
Truly!! 🫶🏻👏👏👏
They love attention.
@@John-co8um cool story bro
It’s unreal that he got to live free for so long.
Michelle Myanmar kept revived interest and That detective is regarded as one of the finest to ever work in the field. He spent 10 years digging and digging and the technology evolved and he asked them to try this case with the familial DNA. This case changed numerous investigative procedures, and policies that showd them where they needed to evolve. Rape was only a misdemeanor when the first ones occured. As he was rampant, victims garnered support to change it the charge to be capital punishment. The ripple effects of these things are invaluably insurmountable. That said, "Justice delayed, is not justice denied."
Considering that the police caught him shoplifting telltale items, yeah it is unreal. They protected their own.
Some confess on their death bed...
Not always
One word: police
I really love the way this version of this story is more about what an amazing woman Michelle was & not as much about what a monster he was.
I thought it was a bit weird. She had nothing to do with him being caught.
I think Michelle was also his victim.
@@bushmonster1702 Her book sparked interest in the Golden State Killer again, which then led him to getting caught
@@Earth2Natalie uh no
@@Earth2Natalie no not at all. He was caught through familial dna
Of course when he gets brought to justice he starts this frail old man charade.
Lol..the facade...
And then they show him doing chinups in his cell!
Jus like Harvy Weinstein & Bill Cosby.
Don’t they all
He had no mercy on frail little children so why he expects mercy for his frail act-well, looks like he’s fooling no one.
Wow. The fact that he did this for so long is CRAZY. Everyone involved needs a huge thank you. They made him pay for his past.
He was a cop. Would have been interesting to have some of his old colleagues interview but of course LAPD will never allow that.
Really easy to get away crimes back then. No cameras. No DNA.
Basically, you had to get caught in the act, witness or fingerprints.
If there is no final (eternal) justice, a few years in jail for an old man mean nothing.
Life without parole 😂😂🎉🎉
He can only pay, if with our dead not everything is over. Otherwise...? Nothing can heal all these wounds and bring the dead people back.
As a widow, listening to Patton explain how his life was devastated when finding his wife dead.. I know that feeling all to well. I am so glad this episode focused on Michelle and not the killer
I hope you are okay, and enjoy life
He moved on pretty quick though.
His mean personality now makes a bit of sense
@voodoo child yeah his personality struck me as gross.
Michelle who exactly? What did she contribute to catch this killer? Nothing.
He is 72 . Sentencing him to prison is not punishment
Agree but is stil danger.Look at his Eyes?!Cold,without emotion.Scary
The opposite!
He thought hed die a free man..
But now,he,ll die in prison..
What's the difference how old he is?,he doesnt want to be in prison,and that's his punishment
Got caught with few years left to live, and with 24 hour free government care. So frustrating.😠
you're hard pressed to get any care in a US prison tbh. they give you meat labeled as "not for human consumption" in the kitchen, you cant eat vegetarian without proving your Muslim, dental care only happens when you're screaming in pain, and it takes 6 months to schedule a hair cut. they also only get 1 hour out of their small cell every day. it's not an enviable position, rest assured.
This man lived 1.6 miles from my house. Absolutely terrifying that we used to walk through his neighborhood.
Scary.
SAME
Nice😂
His apology at the end is complete bs. he isn't sorry for what he did hes sorry because it landed him In jail where he belongs. My heart goes out to all the victims
as a survivor myself i would NOT & WILL NOT ever let a thing like him have the twisted pleasure of knowing what effect they had on their victims
It's not about the perpetrator or how it's supposed to make them feel. It's about the victim getting closure and rediscovering their voice.
@@annalupton9284 i am a victim& survivor,that is how i feel and this is my voice! i can only speak for myself,if you are also a survivor and that works for you i respect you Anna for it
This is one of the true crime events that hunt me since I've heard of it. The fact that this individual lived his life to the fullest after destroying so many lives is blood boiling. Disgusting, sickening. No matter his age, he should be submited to torture, imo.
I agree
Not sure why they allowed him to plead guilty. They should have gone to court and sentenced him to death.
Yep and if read into details of so many of his crimes it's terrifying the worst I have read about so scary.
Behind bars is to good for him..that's all Amma say
Too bad he can't awake to some type of torture every day
I actually lived near him when he was caught! Pretty much everything was normal, then my family and I heard a couple of sirens, and then a helicopter following them. Eventually it started circling by our house, and eventually we drove like 2 blocks to see what was goin on. We asked one of the cops what was goin on and he asked if we ever met the man, to which we said no but we've seen him outside his house a few times. Thats when the cop said that he's suspected to be the golden state killer. It was insane that I lived right by a man who's been wanted for so long
wow
That's crazy. I'm glad they finally caught him.
I couldn’t believe he was so close to us in citrus heights either shocking really
i feel like he practically got away with it living free for 40years
I feel like victim impact statements are just giving the psychopath what he wants again. He should never be allowed to hear that.
Instead of victim statements , why not give 5 minutes to the victims or their families alone with this guy in a closed room , no cameras and let them exact their own justice
@5:30 what a wonderful husband! The way he described his wife, stole my heart.
WHAT ????.
OMG OMG
SMH
Thats how I'd talk about someone I offed, just to keep the focus off me.
I assume you’re talking about Payton and his late wife Michelle?
@@Videosuperfuntimes well, you might be on to something there. But, why would this guy off her?
Hemorrhagic stroke immediately came to mind. How tragic, and yet her work and life were so meaningful!
Lived in Contra Costa County when this was all taking place. I vividly remember my mother telling my brother and I that we would no longer be allowed to sleep in the back yard at night (in the summer, No one had AC in those days) we would not be allowed to sleep with the windows open and from now on we had to lock the doors even when we were home during the day. I remember thinking “Lock the doors when we are home??!!!” That’s crazy! I asked my mom when we could go back to “normal”. She said she didn’t know….. (she didn’t really tell us why, she just said the police are telling everyone that we need to make these changes at this time) she didn’t want to scare us. But we lived in the neighborhood that GSK was hitting.
I was 7 or 8. We used to get what we thought were crank phone calls where someone would whisper. We just hung up. But my parents did put up black iron bars on all of our windows. One day our dog cornered a man in our backyard. My mom called the police. They told her to lock all the doors and they were on their way. When they got there he was no longer there.
GSK really changed all our worlds. We lost the carefree life we had always known. To this day I always lock the doors and never sleep with the windows open.
I lived in San Ramon when he raped a women there. I was 16 I believe. It went from a very safe town to absolutely terrified people. So horrible. We eventually moved to Citrus Heights. I’m still in Ch and this filth lived 3 miles from us!!!! Shopped at the grocery store my husband worked at !!!! So mss as my stores from the staff there on how evil her was
❤❤❤
Even at old age and frail, D'Angelo looks huge. Can't imagine the terror he put his victims through. May his victims be free now that he's caught.
can you imagine how huge and scary he was in his prime if he looks like that now?
@@lisabradford8180 he was about 5'9 or 5'10, 190-200 lbs. No lightweight for sure, but not a giant. But he was in great shape being in law enforcement and I would imagine due to people's fear he probably looked bigger than he really was. Gregory Sanchez one of the victims put up a helluva fight was bigger than he was, he might have overpowered him had DeAngelo not had a gun. Some say that is the reason he did not attack anyone else for five years after that, because Sanchez put up such a fight it scared him into stopping. Of course without DeAngelo granting an interview, no way to know for sure if that is why he stopped for five years.
When stating his "guilty" pleas he seemed meek and weak but when giving his final comment he seemed to find his strength. Was trying to get off with a light sentence by seeming frail in the trail part.
No matter what, every single surviving victim will never truly live a normal life. Every person who gave a victims impact statement that claims they're survivors, they're doing great, or whatever are only truly lying to themselves deep down. That monster forever altered their lives and they know it no matter how much they claim they're living their best life or deny it. I'm sure not a day goes by they don't think about him. He still effects them in some way shape or form to this day.
And its harder to fight back when you're surprised...props to that guy who fought back. You just gotta be prepared for everything these days.
As a victim, I could NEVER stand before him and tell him how badly he destroyed me, how I was broken or lived my life in fear.
THATS exactly WHAT he WANTS to hear. That’s why he committed the crimes. He’s a narcissistic sociopath. Hes never going to be truly sorry despite how badly you say he hurt you! You’re making his wet dream come true by recalling your torture and allowing him to relive it. I GUARANTEE he has a smirk under his mask & a tingle in his scrub bottoms just watching & listening to them all cry!
I could NEVER give him that satisfaction, that PLEASURE! I just couldn’t! I’d force myself to lie & laugh in his face. I’d rather demean him by saying I could barely remember the attack because his performance was anything but memorable to say the least. I’d be cynically empathetic & say, I almost understand why he rap£d me & had to tie down women & young girls to get laid, It was the ONLY way someone like him could get with a female. I’d be ashamed to show my face if I were you, too. I mean, one thing all of us know is you certainly weren’t blessed with a whole lot below the belt. At least you didn’t ruin me for any REAL MEN after the attack. Honestly , ive had more memorable foreplay. Of course that’s all BS, but I could never never give him what he wants willingly. To see my pain. The only reason he apologized was to try & get right w God because his days are numbered. Their tears didn’t hold him accountable. A narcissistic sociopath doesn’t have the ability to be sorry.
Natalie : I so much agree. I don`t see the sense in impact statements. Bc an offender like him ( and most others ) don`t care about the victims and their relatives at the first place....It`s only giving him another chance of being in the center of attention. Another chance to satisfy his sadistic urge for seeing ppl suffer. I never would give any offender this chance.
I agree with so much..I had x phycopath type personality and compulsive Lier, who Abused me over and over 24 years of it...lied all over playing victim, when he was who attacked me and Abused me with his anger and rages inflicting PTSD from TOXIC abuse..what happens in the dark will come out to the light no one can mock Jeh God and be blessed they reap what they sowed in due time..
@@fredajordan5704 Exactly. Thank you for understanding my comment. I was sure people were going to think I was being insensitive to the victims. That NOT at all my intention. To me, the victim impact statement gives the perpetrator one last time to go back to the scene of the crime. Only this time, he gets to relive his assault through the eyes of the victim. A dream come true.
I just don’t understand why it’s encouraged or why a victim would ALLOW themselves to be vulnerable in front of their attacker again? It’s like allowing the bully see you cry. Hes just going to laugh at you louder.
No, I can’t speak for surviving an attack by a serial killer. (That I’m aware of) I can say I survived an attack by a complete stranger. It was absolutely horrifying. I gave cops info they needed and that’s it. If they eventually find him & he turns out to be a serial anything, i will testify only facts in court. My testimony would be only to put him behind bars. I wouldn’t dream of giving an impact statement. The idea of giving him that satisfaction, pleasure, a safe return to the crime scene repulses me. I would rather get held in contempt of court for being stoic, maniacally smirking at him… trying to belittle him. I don’t understand why any women would want to willingly give them pleasure after Hes already forcibly stolen it from them? He doesn’t care if today you can finally call yourself a survivor or thriver. Hes a psychopath/sociopath. He knows you wouldn’t be there if you weren’t still suffering in some way. Hes loving every word they say. They’re unaware they’re being victimized again.
I agree with you that he'd get a thrill out of some of those victim statements but also note that the one victim/woman who was a nurse told him off and said how she successfully finished school the same year of her attack and went on to have a successful military career and a great life while he was just a loser who ended up in a cage.
Kk
We need to pray for Michelle's husband and daughter. It's tragic that she died so young.
He remarried only a year later
they're fine
@@hoofhearted5102 ok and? What does that have to do with anything?
@@hoofhearted5102 Honestly, it doesn't sit right with me. Too soon but that's his right.
@@kelly4618 Yeah, it seemed really quick to me too .... but as you say, each to their own
Felt so bad for the lady who, as a teenager, had words with her mother. I carry that guilt too, with a sister I lost after not trying to help. I have tried to find peace and forgiveness of myself and hope that lady finds it too
The crazy thing is that fight with her mother probably saved her life. If she didn’t run away from home she might have been a victim as well
My heart breaks for you.
There is a wonderful God who loves you. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life”. The Bible also says “God is close to the broken hearted”. He so loves you. I will be praying for you
May all these incredible and strong women find peace.
I am against the death penalty but this monster makes me feel otherwise. This guy got to live free all those forty years! And he was a cop that was supposed to protect and serve. The whole thing makes your stomach churn.
Why are you against death penalty
The main purpose of our government is to protect the sanctity of life. When an evil person violates the sanctity of life to such an extent that no punishment will provide justice; the death penalty is the only reasonable solution. The evil person loses their right to exist. There has to be an ultimate everlasting penalty for the worst evil in society. The death penalty is a humane punishment. Some criminals actually prefer the death penalty over life in prison.
@@xtronkillmaster2517 life imprisonment with creative torture everyday is better than death penalty.
@@texastea5686 that is a interesting question. At first I was all for the death penalty.but over the years i have watched some terrible miscarriages of justice. I think the stat is 1 in every 10 people sentenced to death is innocent!!! That is awful,imagine being killed for a crime you did not commit?!?! The trouble is the system can be manipulated by police and the justice system and that allows innocent people to basically be murdered by the state.i have watched some heartbreaking documentaries of the work that the brilliant work that the innocence project does in getting innocent people off death row and freedom.providing the evidence is 100% I am all for the death penalty ,especially for animals like deAngelo. Some monster do not have a right to live I understand that but the death penalty is complicated and very political.
@@YourMajesty733 it's a hard one but I would have to say I am against the death penalty overall.some people are just evil to the bone though and do not deserve to live for their evil crimes though.i suppose locking them up like a caged animal for the rest of their lives is more punishment. People for the death penalty seem to want to brush under the carpet the 1 in 10 sentemced to death are actually innocent? That is horrendous and means there is something wrong with the system.there is an argument that says capitol punishment is just revenge.
How sorry was he? Never turned himself in. That's the best measure of how sorry he was.
He lived just a few streets away from me. Always used to walk by his house before being caught. Never suspected a thing.
Really!? That’s crazy man.
I did not realize that so many of his victims were children!!
That shocked me too as I read Larry Cromptons book. Quite a few were under 16.
He loves every minute of hearing All The torcher he put them through
Sadly, looking at his face and particularly his eyes, he looks like he is enjoying reliving the experiences as the survivors are giving their victim impact statements. This man is a total monster

What really gets me is the pain caused to so many people just to commit an act that excites someone. They steal someone's opportunity to ever feel safe again. Make them feel like no one would want them now cause they're "damaged". Make a father feel like he failed to protect his child. A mother to have nightmares about her child being abused. Life's ruined over a sick thought that arouses a person. If a person can't help being sick and having deranged thoughts they don't have to act on it. I can feel how bad it hurts for these people and it makes me hurt with them cause i know how I'd feel if it happened to someone i loved. I just hope there's a heaven so one day they don't have to hurt anymore....
Im guilty as a "True Crime" slueth due to "Seeing" it as-or right after- it happens. What criminals are not prepared for are intuitive (like Michelle) & phsycic investigations. Combined with new technology they're done!
Beautifully said. I feel deeply for all of the victims and the families....People tend to memorialize a killer and forget the people whose lives they destroyed. I appreciate your effort to paint the whole picture of how this man ruined the lives of his victims and their loved ones. This man completely destroyed and devastated so many people. I could only hope that in his lonely prison cell that he feels the excruciating pain that he caused. And if there is an afterlife I hope that he suffers in such a way that no human-being could even fathom.
Soulsuckers.... the world is full of them!
I wish there was more people like you. The damage thing is true + it is not fair... victim's don't act like victim's because they don't want to be defined by abuse... It makes it complicated to discuss so most just don't.. So other's speaking on behalf are always heard + appreciated.
@@jamesjustice8711 True that! In the USA prisons, the death penalty would have been easier. He will end up used, abused, & some man's B*tch
I am still angry they allowed him to play like an old weak man by using a wheelchair when he was all over his vell climbing up and down to the upper bunk and doing exercises!
He seems as he really doesn't care. Why would he? He's been a free murderer for 40 years. Living his life in his prime years. I'm sure he's happy he doesn't have to work, has shelter and 3 meals a day. Taxpayers are paying his retirement years unfortunately 🙄
I love you so much Pete's you're always going to be my big 8:57 8:57 ❤😂 8:57
This is Pete on my babies account I love you so much I miss you so much
DNA is a beautiful thing. It captured the Golden State Killer and now the Long Island Killer, and has released so many people innocently imprisoned people.
The dna in Long Island killer could match 11,000 people halo dna on hair without root is not as accurate as you think the smoking gun in Long Island case is cell phone data
This is one of the most scary stories I've ever heard. 48 hours knows how to tell a story like no other.
There are so many good crime shows and ever since i was a child i have absolutely loved unsolved mysteries forensic files America's most wanted and all the other 80s and 90s shows that we all grew up on.. but i just love the way 48 hours puts a story together..
At the age of 72, he will have all the care he needs in prison, just like in a nursing home. Not that he got away with all those crimes, but he was rewarded.
He'll get better than our own veterans at the VA hospitals.
Serial killers should always get mandatory death sentence. No messing around for years. Disgusting that he is still alive.
What on earth is the point in these victim statements? We don't have those in Europe. These criminals don't give two hoots about how you or your family have suffered - if anything, they're proud of it. That creep was listening to his life's work - a great retrospective.
I feel lucky I survived the 70's & 80' there were so many serial killers during that time period!!!!!!!
If anyone ever wondered if the bogeyman actually exists, show them this story. Absolutely chilling…
O I agree..I live in the Caribbean and even now I'm scared..not taking anyone for granted
Okay steve.
And then there was the journalists who helped piece together the crimes of John akroyd, who is deceased.
Thank to all who have helped solve any of these cases, helped generate interest in a case that ran cold, or generally helped the victims and/or their families. Thanks and you deserve way more than that for the effort you put into them!
❤️❤️🙏🙏
Edited for accuracy.
I live in sw washington which killer are you talking about ? The happy face killer?
I mixed it up actually. I meant to come back and fix that so thank you! The doc I was thinking of was the ghosts of highway 20. And they didn’t actually catch the guy they thought it was (John ackoyd) cuz he had died. I think that’s why I remembered them catching him. Cuz in truth, he still can’t hurt anyone else, as it would be if he had been alive.
And also the journalists involved in that series did bring awareness and tied up many loose ends in some of the murders. The way they link the series of events and show how they can tell it was probably him. Like him moving towns and they could show how the victims also changed locale.
Anyway I apologize for the confusion!
@@cameronhenke593 o OO oq
Amen, Amen!!! 🙏❤✌
You can tell the way Patton lights up about talking about Michelle and how hurtful it was talking about her death. It must’ve been so difficult and painful for the family to watch her to try to get justice for the victims and survivors. Michelle brought in so much into this case, trying to shed light to the unsolved murders and rapes. I never knew much about this case and how brutal, violent, and terrifying his crimes were disgusting. The fact that he did this for pleasure is disgusting.
Michelle basically sacrificed her life to get this guy. The drugs she ingested was to cope with all of this. I'm just so glad he got caught and her pain wasn't in vain.
There is no cure for a psychopath...only to keep them separate from society, he has no remorse, guilt, shame, or empathy for his victims and the things he has done
True, absolutely hopeless.
I lived in Citrus Heights at the time that he got caught. I hope all the survivors can live life a little better knowing that he can no longer hurt anyone.
Me too. I lived in the neighborhood right next to his
They said they encountered the maniac when they were teens, now they re all grey hair old women. It took too long for police to find him. Keeping in mind the majority of victims encountered him and survived, so they knew how he looked. How police is so incompetent amuses me

For each one that gets detained there is probably a multitude more still out there. 😢 There is a psycho on the loose in my area right now. It’s scary. The Mayhem will never stop as long as there are human beings.
It would appear to me he did get away with it. The guy lived a full life and didn't get caught until he was almost 80 years old. Judging by the trial footage he doesn't care whatsoever what happens now.
Yeap, don't know why they gave him a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.
Michele's book "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" is truly a work of art and great empathy. Simply wonderful.
I'm soooo proud of the VICTORIOUS survivors!!
So at the end we discover that a detective who'd been hunting him for over twenty years decided to upload his DNA to a genealogy website, and caught him. All that time spent on the emotional stuff about the woman who who was interested in crime, and her husband who completed the book was completely irrelevant.
Exactly. Michelle macnamara did nothing to help solve this case. She's always inclluded because of the celebrity aspect. The book she wrote was God awful. It was terrible. You could tell multiple ppl wrote it. It was not good
Agree, some writer addicted to pills has nothing to do with the hardworking detectives.
Omg I was thinking she solved something or ended up being one of his victims.. Wow.
@@lemmonlife4056 I kept waiting to hear that too.. I hought she was a victim. She had nothing to do with this story
I think she brought more attention to the unsolved murders with her blogs and upcoming book and also giving him the moniker, The Golden State Killer, that stuck in the public's mind. And when there's more attention brought to it, the police work harder to get it solved.
This is one of the most disturbing cases I’ve heard about. It really sucks it took them 42 years to get this pos. He’s 72 and he’s like idc I’m gonna die soon. Is it really justice? I’m glad these victims can finally sleep at night. Knowing he will never come back.
No mention of Cece Moore who was the lady who found out wo he was.
24:51
She didn't have to tell us that. That was brave and honest of her and I think you can tell that she's a good person. She wasn't to know what would happen bless her ❤️
Continue prayers for all of the survivors they are very strong to be able to get up there and face this whatever he is sad that the devil was inside him.
That old man act was just that an act the way he stood up an gave his last statement was of a man much younger than her was pretending to be, so pleased for the survivor's..
Just think of how satisfying it is for this murderer to get to see and hear a line of women get up there and recount how he controlled and violated them and how he single handedly affected their entire lives.
If I was a victim there’s no way I would even go to court - I wouldn’t care enough to even go much less give him the satisfaction of eating me blather away about how he stole my innocence or ruined my childhood. What a ridiculous thing to do.
Facts! These guys enjoy the fact that people are suffering still. This guy, BTK and others get off on knowing they ruined people's lives. The level of spite they exhibit is otherworldly. The best punishment for them, other than death, is cutting them off completely from the outside world.
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 Or use them for scientific human experiments
Michelle McNamara deserves such a huge respect here, she brought us here to us, she in a way pressured police and everyone in charge to persue him, to step up.
Also Patton Oswald for not giving up on his late wife's wish to capture him and to bring him to justice.
Thank you Michelle 💔
Patton Oswalt killed her
Michelle had nothing to do with solving this case.
@@jewbego5323 she was pushing this case into media and everything. I didn't say she sloved it, she just put pressure on police to do better.
@@mihaelajukic1314 Give us a break. She wasn't needed by law enforcement. Too bad what her husband did to her. RIP :(
@@jewbego5323 It's so obvious Patton is responsible.
I love the opening soundtrack of 48 hours and the way the editors sync it with the lightning and the flickering lights!
The women’s telling this killer how much he ruined their lives is exactly what he wants.
You guys keep letting him win.
I will never forget when she died. He was so devastated, and he tried so so hard to do right by her. The way he talks about the cinders of his life, it gets me every time.
when will people understand?
when survivors give their monologue to him in the courtroom, he DOES NOT care .
Its totally pointless.
He even enjoys that.
I don't understand these filthy criminals. How can they demand the death penalty be taken off the table?
I Cann't understand the prosecutors can accept that negotiation.
I PRAY THAT SOMEONE GETS TO THIS MAN IN PRISON AND GIVES HIM SOME "EYE-FOR-AN-EYE" JUSTICE.
👁️
Why? Is your life so empty that you need that to feel whole?
Muhahahaa 🎃
@@ThirstyEye - why not? He deserves it.
@@ThatsabigfatNo Not necessarily saying he does not "deserve" it. Just saying that I get angry too, but....
I find it unnerving how excitedly righteous some get with a thirst for revenge. Friends or immediate family? OK, I get that because you ARE emotionally invested. But for random strangers to crave vigilante justice? I just find that odd. I think the average politician is more destructive and to fixate on random killers is shallow.
The irony of a mini-doc about a murderer dedicating the first half interviewing Patton Oswald, a murderer…
I’m not saying that flat out but there are many mysteries surrounding Michelle’s death
Thanks so much for the full episodes but please add more!! 🙏🏼👍
He’s getting off on all these victim’s tales of fear and terror …….they should submit their impact statements without him in the courtroom. And, no…..I don’t believe he’s sorry for his crimes….he’s sorry only that he was caught.
I agree. I think the victims do it for themselves, but really just enrich the perv. He gets to add new material into his demented mind.
Damn, that guy was already circling the drain by the time he was convicted. That life sentence must have felt so hollow to the victims knowing he's probably only going to spend a few days in prison before he dies.
Sometimes justice is just legal acknowledgment of what you went through.
I hope that you will do some other serial killer videos. You put so much into your research, love all the detail you give. And I have watched too many others to be able to give a number but, I think you give more details than anyone else I have watched over the last few years. I Thank you so very much for your superb dedication to your channel.
Has he spoken or is he still baffled that technology caught up with him? He’s such a piece of work. I feel sorry for his family.
That’s what bugs me I don’t know how they never knew about what he was doing but I guess he was that bad so they might have been afraid of him to even ask
@@ji8698 It was probably pretty darn easy for them not to know what he was doing. Have you even heard of the BTK killer??? Go do some research and get back with me. Your response will be most likely..."AHHH...NOW I GET IT!"😅
@@bradleywalker4575 no I wasn’t talking about the Name I was talking about how they never noticed that this guy would go out and do this and sometimes won’t be back home soon enough but I didn’t realize he was a cap and a killer at the same time
@@ji8698 Also, you have to remember that investigative technology has drastically evolved since what it was in the 60s and 70s.
Alot of us woman love true crime, it's addicting watching true crime videos.
Thank you for sharing this
A bit late in the day. These impact statements just refreshed his memories of what he did. It must be like rewatching an old favourite movie for him.
Somehow the stacked plates on the back thing is just so diabolical.
Freaks me out too
im so sorry to hear of the loss of Michelle. 😭
She herself was a victim of homicide.
@@jooson2826 what
She was addicted to opioids and died from an accidental overdose.
The DNA research was absolutely the way he was found. The extra investigation done for a book was a subplot that might make the thing a bit more interesting because the celebrity and her death is a way to tell the story via one basic narrator.
What a nugget to have strayed into these documentaries. I love the narratives and investigative approach without the graphic gory splash.
I don’t get why torture isn’t a punishment for cases like this
When there’s actual proof
Exactly.
Because in practice the "when there's actual proof" part would sometimes get ignored, just as it sometimes does for capital cases.
cuz that would make them just as barbaric as the killer... justice is done, let it go
Solitary confinement for life is the answer.
I know the victims want to have closure by confronting their attacker in court but unfortunately it probably only serves him by getting to relive the memories.
I have no idea how its possible that he committed that many crimes & he wasnt in prison until recently...but what comforts me is that we all know very well how prisoners treat rapists in prison. It's his time to suffer terribly now.
cuz the DNA caught up with him recently🤦♂
I started this video, walked away from it, came back around 4:45, and now I'm wondering why a piece about Patton Oswald is titled "The Golden State Killer | Full Episode"
Lol
I watched it all just sitting with the screen and had to make sure I didn’t actually click another video.
Nope. It’s the same video.
@@leahjones9626 I did too at first🤣
Same. I was totally mindfucked
It’s weird how they didn’t bring up that Patton is the one who gave us wife the “prescription” drugs (not prescribed to her)that she ODed… and then remarried a year later.
Damn, super suspicious
Yeah that’s a felony to give someone med not prescribed to them in ma
Yes, this
Thank You Larry.
Debbie Domingo has the saddest story. You You argue with your mother and runaway. Then receive the news she’s been murdered in the same house you may have been in.
I thought about that a lot. I hope, mercifully, that her dear mother had relief knowing that her daughter was not at home at that time and survived this. Had they not had those silly arguments, had she not have run away, she too would've been at the home and been a victim. Mom's know that silly things said by their teenagers in a moment of frustration is not what's truly in their heart. I hope the daughter knows that her mom was probably thankful that her daughter had "run away" and was safe from that attack.
I recommend to listen to 'Evil has a name'. It's an indepth audio book based on Michelle McNamaras research, with interviews from Paul Holes the leading investigator in this case.
If I'm honest I don't really understand the victim impact statement when dealing with a personality such as his. He probably gets off on seeing his victims and hearing about how his crimes affected them and in some cases destroyed their lives. I think if it were me I wouldn't want to give him any more satisfaction. It's just the thing is he's not capable of feeling remorse or empathy for them otherwise he would never have done what he's done so I feel he's just sitting there enjoying seeing their pain. That doesn't feel right to me. That's just how I feel - maybe they get some relief or closure from it though and I guess they've waited a very long time for justice and to watch him fall.
It’s definitely for the victims to vent. To a psychopath, all he hears is “blah blah blah”. You can’t shame one of these sickos - they have no remorse. They only lament their loss of freedom.
Gives the victims a voice. Also q plea to the judge qnd jurors to give maximum sentence
The victim impact statement is more for the court so they can impact the sentencing.
That man is a monster without a conscience. How did not the people living close to him suspect that something was wrong with him?
Patton Oswalt has become a fantastic role model for family, grief and loss, and not rejecting love. May Michele’s memory be a blessing.
He's really sorry. Oh that fixes everything.
It took 40 years to catch him, so quit patting yourselves on the back. He outsmarted all of you! Americans are so full of themselves.
No one felt like they did a stellar job. Just enjoy RUclips for iPhone and relax.
Great documentary!
Im 50 now and have watched crime/muder documentaries for the last 35 years.in that time I have watched alot as you can imagine.but what struck me about this cold hearted animal was the part where it said residents were saying oh he doesn't attack where there is a dog or some man at the local town hall stood up and said he's too cowardly to attack when a man is there.but this sicko just seen that as a challenge. Also the way he stayed in the victims properties hours after attacking them??? Hard to imagine someone wanting to stay around after attacking/raping someone but to stay hours and help themselves to food just shows the depravity from this coward and the sheer terror the victims must have felt probably for the rest of their lives.
Exactly. Most men would completely destroy him, of course he was afraid. But when it comes to sleeping, everyone is vulnerable. Large dogs are you best ally and friend
KIller was soulless and was like "oh hey i got caught. finally I can go to jail. oh wait, let me give a statement and pretend im sorry"
OMG I'm so sorry for your loss. She was an amazing women and touched many lives.
God bless that detective that got emotional because of how much she cares to solve these crimes n get justice for victims.
I totally agree with criminals having to share DNA with the record but I equally believe officers should submit at start of service..
National DNA database. From birth. Why not? I have nothing to hide, and it will END most all crime.
yes
Evil like this... deserves no mercy!
