The Golden State Killer, also known as the East Area Rapist and the Original Night Stalker, was a serial killer and rapist who terrorized California in the 1970s and 1980s. The Golden State Killer was responsible for at least 13 murders, 50 rapes, and more than 100 burglaries throughout California.
Despite a massive investigation and several close calls, the killer remained elusive for decades. However, in 2018, law enforcement officials used DNA evidence to identify a suspect, Joseph James DeAngelo, a former police officer, as the Golden State Killer.

The Hillsborough disaster of 1989 remains the worst tragedy in football history. 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives during an FA Cup semi-final match, and the aftermath of the disaster was marred by a cover-up that denied justice to the victims and their families for decades.
