#55: The Golden State Killer - How a Family Tree Ended a 40-Year Manhunt
I’ll Be Gone In the Dark by Michelle McNamara (Audiobook) - https://amzn.to/46zMOte Across 1970s California, families began awakening to flashlight beams, cut telephone lines and a masked intruder who appeared to know their routines before entering their homes. He bound couples, constructed alarms from stacked dishes and escaped through backyards, drainage canals and police perimeters without leaving an identity behind. In Northern California, authorities called him the East Area Rapist. Farther south, another series of crimes was attributed to the Original Night Stalker. Separated by hundreds of miles, conflicting theories and jurisdictional boundaries, the cases gradually became part of a mystery unlike anything investigators had encountered. As communities armed themselves and police formed specialized task forces, the man they were hunting continued to anticipate their movements. Then, without explanation, he disappeared. Years later, true-crime writer Michelle McNamara entered the investigation and gave its faceless subject a name: the Golden State Killer. In the Season Three finale of Nightwatch Files, we follow the decades-long search for one of America's most elusive predators and the disturbing question investigators could not answer: how did he always seem to know what they would do next?

The Y chromosome can be useful in Forensic DNA processing. Inherited down the paternal line, it can help separate DNA from rape victims and can have a lot to say about who's DNA it was.
I learned recently there is a problem, it decays and disappears in older males!
