Acquire Today Evil Has A Name: The Untold Story Of The Golden State Killer Investigation Assembled By Paul Holes Supplied As Audiobook

great about Evil Has a Name is that it's all about HOW they caught The Golden State Killer, The East Area Rapist. The Original Night Stalker. The Visalia Ransacker. The hideous man with many aliases,
Michelle McNamara's book, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, is about how she researched the case, Her book was published when Joseph James DeAngelo was still at large Evil Has a Name was after his capture in April.


I do recommend reading I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara first, It's the perfect companion novel and compliments Michelle's story nicely, Although it's a different side of the story, a lot of the events are mentioned in IBGITD, It's a fascinating 'other side of the story' with more people desperately trying to solve the Golden State Killer case, . . this time with the help of science and not the incredible sleuthing done by McNamara, I also loved when Paul Holes mentions McNamara in Evil Has Name, It was very touching and special as I have been interested in this case for a while now thanks to podcasts, Michelle's book and now

this audio production.


One of my favorite true crime stories to date!
I highly recommend this one,
After just having read 'I'll Be Gone in the Dark' which tells the same story as this audible show, I found it perfect to lead straight into this.
The book 'I'll Be Gone, . . ' is written by a woman who investigated the crimes of this rapist and killer from the comfort of her home, this series is the indepth analysis from the detectives who worked the case both when it first came to light and later as a cold case.


We have a whole load of people involved in the operation to find out who this killer is and to solve this.
This guy was infamously awful and terrified the people of the Golden State area for many years in the night, This audio show tells the story from the eyes of those hunting him, and it's great because unlike 'I'll Be Gone.
. . ' where the author died before they caught this guy, this story goes right through to the end where the man behind it all is finally captured thanks to advancements in technology.


I really recommend this series if you have any interest in true crime or if you've read 'I'll Be Gone in the Dark' as that book was a natural leadin to this.
s Chilling and the perfect companion to I'll Be Gone in the Dark Rating,stars.

This was a really well done, podcaststyled audiobook, It included interviews from investigators, victims and family members, Since this perpetrator was caught recentlyeven though some of his crimes were fromyears ago, there has been a lot about him in various forms.
However, this podcast also included a more emotional side from the people involved, which made connecting to the material more meaningful.
I read about this case when the Golden State Killer was arrested but this one showed the victim's side of the story and fascinating details related to the investigation.
The narration isstars. The Golden State Killer. The East Area Rapist. The Original Night Stalker. The Visalia Ransacker.

The monster who preyed on Californians fromtowas known by many aliases, And while numerous police sketches tried to capture his oftenmasked visage, the Golden State Killer spent more thanyears not only faceless, but nameless.


For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity.
To be sure, the chances of obtaining closureor any form of justiceafter so many years were slim to none, at best.


Then, on April,, authorities arrestedyearold Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif, based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes, After a decadeslong hunt, a suspect was behind bars, Could it be that evil finally had a name

Delivering allnew details about the investigation and a stunning final act to the events of Michelle McNamara's haunting bestseller, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, this is the true story of how the suspected Golden State Killer was captured, as told, firsthand, by those closest to the case:

Paul Holesthe forensic criminologist and retired Costa County detective who spentyears trying to crack the Golden State Killer case, and finally did.


Jim Clemente Hosta retired FBI profiler and former New York City prosecutor who has investigated some of the highest profile criminal cases in U.
S. history, including the Unabomber.

I have had this on my audible wish list since I saw it was being released months and months ago, I became a little bit obsessed with the case after listening to sitelinkIll Be Gone in the Dark last year.
Quickly after listening to that I went a bit nuts, reading all the articles, listening to all the podcasts on it and informing all my friends and family much to my husband's annoyance of the case and the fact that the guy had NEVER BEEN CAUGHT!! Stuff of nightmares!

So imagine my surprise when two weeks after I listened to that book, I saw on the Australian news that they had just caught the killer! I was so excited!

So I was not expecting to learn anything that I didnt know from this special audible original.
I had spent a LOT of hours learning about this case, I was almost reluctant to listen to it, but decided to give it a go.
So glad I did. Yes, there was a lot of information that I knew already, but WOW it really helped me understand SO MUCH MORE about HOW they actually caught him.
There was a lot on the DNA technology which was easy to understand and comprehend,

There was also some amazing interviews with survivors and relatives, as well as neighbours and friends of the accused killer.
It really gave you a snippet as to what he was like and I was surprised as to how much extra little bits of information it gave you.


I dont know how the US legal system works compared to the Aussie one, but I would have thought that they wouldnt have allowed something like this to come out before the trial.
Just seemed strange to me, maybe someone could enlighten me as to how this could be allowed Not that I am complaining.
It totally sparked my reinterest in the details of this case,

Did I enjoy the narration
Absolutely! It was partly narrated by the lead investigator in the case and to hear the first hand experiences that he had and how things led to that final arrest was amazing.


Would I recommend Evil Has a Name
Yes! I thought it was great, It had a good tone and was fantastic for anyone who loves true crime and a good story!

I purchased Evil Has a Name at my own expense at audible.

I LOVE true crime and found this to be fascinating!! I understand there have been multiple podcasts already dedicated to the GSK case but I hadnt listened to any of those so this was all new information to me.
I did know the killer had finally been captured using ancestry DNA but I didnt realize how it had actually come together.
FASCINATING. I listened to the podcast Bearbrook a while ago which explains the first time DNA genetic testing actually helped solve a cold case, however in a round about way.
Soooo incredible how they were able to find this guy!

In the book or podcast really since its more podcast than book it details step by step the leads that were explored and investigated.
So many promising leads that were dead ends, Everything is narrated by the actual detectives, victims, friends, etc, which was awesome, I cant imagine how disheartening it would be as a detective to keep running into dead ends over and over again.
And then have to pick yourself back up and start all over again at the very beginning! I also found it eye opening and fascinating the red tape police agencies have to work through when solving a case! Crazy.
This book explained many of those issues thoroughly and clearly,

I couldnt put this down once Id started it, It was done very, very well, A complicated story like this with so many twists and turns could be confusing and overwhelming, however it was edited and organized perfectly.
So good! It really is a miracle that they were able to capture this evil guy! Wow! This compels binge listening! This Audible Original is comprised of interviews with both investigators and victims.
It feels very much like a true crime documentary and is the perfect followup to Michelle McNamaras book, Ill Be Gone in the Dark.


Catching the Golden State Killer also known as The East Area Rapist, The Original Night Stalker, and The Visalia Ransacker involved the use of DNA evidence and genealogical research.
This aspect was fascinating. Investigators used the DNA database of a genealogical company to narrow their search, The company found a match with a relativebut probably ard cousin at best, So, the investigators had to develop family trees going backgenerations, This led to some possible suspects, one of which was Joseph James DeAngelo, His DNA proved to be the perfect match to the perpetrator, He was finally arrested on April,,

With that arrest Investigative DNA Research took a huge step forward, Highly recommend.
Gimme all the Golden State Killer updates!

So my friend Heather told me about this very telling audiobook that covers the forensics collected throughout the Golden State Killers case fromtowhich ultimately led to the arrest of De Angelo last year.
And I had to give it a listen!



Whats unique about this GSK story is it ends! For the pastyears, theres been no ending to the Golden State Killer case and most people thought hed be another Zodiac or Jack the Ripper and would just get away without ever being held accountable.
But that changed on April,,



This book outlines the journey that both forensic science and curious minds Paul Holes took to keep fighting for the truth.
You learn a shit ton about DNA Im basically a scientist now and communicative advancements between departments/counties/states like having CODIS!!

If this seems of interest to you, give it a listen.
Its heavy and horrific, but justice does prevail, .
