There Jacque proves her connection to James Brown and shows Lake a videotape of a polygraph test she took in 1995 that was administered by a former FBI agent.

May 07, 2019 The Golden State Killer Case: Theory vs Fact
"Unmasking A Killer" Supervising Producer Todd Lindsey, who's been researching and investigating the Golden State Killer case for over 10 years, returns to recap what they got right and what they got wrong when it came to theories regarding the crime spree and the identity of suspected perpetrator, Joseph James DeAngelo. How do the clues, composites, evidence, profiles, and timeline match initial beliefs and suspicions about the possible identity of the prolific and then unknown serial killer versus what law enforcement now know about the man they believe to be the Golden State Killer? Will there be other crimes discovered and attributed to the GSK crime spree? And what questions does Todd have for Mr. DeAngelo should he ever have the opportunity to ask?

On April 10, 2019, the team prosecuting the Golden State Killer case announced that they would seek the death penalty if suspect Joseph James DeAngelo is convicted of any of the capital crimes for which he's been charged. San Francisco Deputy Public Defender Kwixuan Maloof (who is NOT part of Mr. DeAngelo's defense) joins us to explain how the death penalty changes things for Mr. DeAngelo and his team of public defenders, and offer some insight on why a 100% DNA match to multiple crime scenes may not be the "slam dunk" case that many believe.

Sun-Gazette publisher Reggie Ellis and Editor-In-Chief Paul Myers return to share the investigative research they've done on both cases in relation to suspect Joseph DeAngelo. "Unmasking A Killer" Supervising Producer Todd Lindsey also joins to offer his take on the two murders and whether he believes either should be added to the Golden State Killer's list of alleged crimes.
