In Part 2 of Night Watch’s three-part series on the Golden State Killer, the violence escalates as the offender begins targeting couples inside their homes. This episode focuses on the period when fear spread across Sacramento County, examining how Joseph James DeAngelo used control, intimidation, and psychological terror to dominate entire households. Through survivor accounts and police reports, we explore how the attacks intensified, how communities adapted to constant fear, and why stopping him proved so difficult at the time.
