The official word is no, her exhaustive research and posthumous book was not a factor in yesterday’s* arrest of Joseph DeAngelo. Maybe that’s true, but they unwittingly acknowledge her by calling him the Golden State Killer**. I like to think knowing she was coming for him gave him a lot of sleepless nights.
*I’m a couple days ahead on this, so it has now likely been 3 days since the arrest.
**Because he was known as the East Area Rapist and Original Night Stalker (EARONS) before she renamed him for her book.
Yes, I hope so too.
ReplyDeleteOh, come on. And I can't believe that the book wasn't its own pressure, no matter how he was actually caught.
ReplyDeleteI need to go read more about this.
ReplyDeleteWhat Mali said. Even though I'm an American and should know these things.
ReplyDelete(I'm a Patton Oswalt fan.)
ReplyDeleteI knew nothing about this until I read about the arrest and then I only glanced at the headline. I guess I have some research to do. I also do not know who Patton Oswalt is.
