Joseph James DeAngelo, better known as the Golden State Killer, has been sentenced to 26 consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole, four decades after he terrorized the suburbs of Sacramento and stalked neighborhoods in southern California, breaking into homes to rape and torture women and girls, and killing couples and young women in their beds. Before the sentencing the judge heard three days of victim impact statements.

In May of 2019 soon after the Best Selling I'LL BE GONE IN THE DARK was published we had the honor of interviewing Paul Haynes: Michelle McNamara's researcher and then after Michelle's untimely death, he along with others helped finish the book that meant so much to her.
We then asked Paul to join us for an update right before the sentencing.
