After searching for more than 40 years, authorities say an #excop is the #GoldenStateKiller DeAngelo is a former #Auburn, #California, #police officer who was fired in 1979 for #shoplifting a can of dog repellent and a hammer from a drugstore, according to Jones. He worked as a police officer in #Exeter and Auburn between 1973 and 1979. "Very possibly he was committing these crimes while he was employed as a peace officer," Jones said. The suspect was also known as the "#EastAreaRapist" and "the #OriginalNightStalker." It's been more than 40 years since his first recorded attacks, which began in and around #Sacramento in #NorthernCalifornia. No suspects were caught or even identified in the case. Police only had minor details about his looks, along with a sketch from an almost-victim. #Speakin4Myself #JosephJamesDeAngelo
