"48 Hours" is an
investigative program that covers crime & murder in the United
States. This episode was reported and narrated by Tracy Smith.
“The golden state killer.” He is a
white male who raped 50 women and killed 12 people in the span of 10
years (1976-86). He has never been caught and completely vanished
after 1986. The police called him the “East Area Rapist” at
Sacramento, CA. The only evidence they have of him is a hand drawn
sketch from a female rape survivor. There is also a recorded phone
call of him saying he wants to kill a woman. He left no finger prints
behind. His plan was to stalk and then attack his victims who
loved the media attention. He began as a rapist, but then turned into
a killer. He went as far as going to a town hall meeting
which was about “him.” A man claimed at this town hall that he
would kill the rapist if he came to his home. It was a challenge and
the serial killer soon attacked the man and his wife.
The rapist/killer was said to be
27-years-old back in 1976. He would be 65-years-old in 2017. DNA
evidence of a male was found in 2001. Police have matched his DNA
samples in several rape and murder cases. There has been no “hit”
on any known male. Who is he? Where is he? His footsteps disappeared
back in 1986.
