On this week's episode, Alli and Rachel talk about the beginning crimes of who would later become known as The Golden State Killer. They discuss The Visalia Ransacker, The Cordova Cat Burglar, the Exeter Ransacker and the East Area Rapist (spoiler alert: it is all the same guy).
There were so many crimes committed it is amazing that these were all committed by just one man. OH and The East Area Rapist accidently left behind some poetry and a essay whining about six grade that you won't want to miss.
