Episode Details

In Part 3 of Night Watch’s three-part series on the Golden State Killer, we follow the case beyond Sacramento as the violence spreads across California and turns deadly. This episode traces the transition from serial assault to murder, the fragmentation of the case across jurisdictions, and the decades-long search for answers. We examine how advances in DNA and genetic genealogy finally identified Joseph James DeAngelo, and how survivors and families confronted the legacy of a case that reshaped criminal investigations forever.
