Description: In Part 1 of Night Watch’s three-part series on the Golden State Killer, we trace the origins of one of the most prolific predators in American history. Beginning with the early burglaries of the Visalia Ransacker, this episode examines how Joseph James DeAngelo’s crimes evolved from prowling and break-ins into calculated acts of control and terror. Using survivor accounts and investigative records, we explore the warning signs that were missed—and how years of escalation unfolded in plain sight.
