On April 24, 2018, as many of us remember well, Joseph DeAngelo the alleged Golden State Killer/East Area Rapist/Original Night Stalker was apprehended for a spate of brutal rapes and murders committed throughout California in the mid 1970’s to mid 1980’s.

Join Shaun and Chloe as the discuss the life and crimes of Ashley Coulston, and the cases of the Balaclava Killer and the Sutherland Rapist.
