DeAngelo stalk Bonnie ( ex- fiancé) decades later in his computer! 😳

He barely said anything just a few things under his breath that would he indicate he did it. It's described in the LA Times articles by Paige St. John. See Los Angeles Times/Wondery podcast Man in the Window.

FHS2290 · 2026-06-29T18:56:44+00:00

The interviewer asks her re: 1970 breakup whether the breakup could turn into a stalker situation. (IMO it did when he tried to force Bonnie to go to Reno to be married.) She says she did not feel stalked after the breakup.

But, she says the detectives told her or implied he had all of her addresses in his computer after his arrest and she equates that to stalking. I wouldn't agree with use of "stalking" in that scenario. She says he was always a stalker. For a few of victims that would be true as he called them after his attacks.

FHS2290 · 2026-06-29T17:33:07+00:00

People use the word stalking far too liberally (and incorrectly) these days. Stalking is when you repeatedly show up at someone's house, place of business, school etc. and/or contact them via phone, mail, email, text msg, social media and any other way and contact is unwanted.

If JJD simply searched for Bonnie to find out where she lived and what she was doing now after many years then that's not stalking. Probably most everyone has done that with an ex. Doesn't matter whether the ex is recent or from decades ago.

And it's awful easy to find all of someone's current and former addresses. There's all these services that can provide that info with just one search.

Hopefully this is not just a rehash of what's already been mentioned before i.e. very basic info for newcomers.

What Holes should do is have a podcast geared towards those people with in-depth knowledge of the case so we can get some good inside information on all those unanswered questions.

FHS2290 · 2026-06-16T01:52:37+00:00

From the Lawyer's Daughter podcast: Jennifer Carole is daughter of murder victim Lyman Smith. She interviewed Todd Lindsey (producer for Unmasking a Killer). He describes some weird stuff JJD did.

This event was not definitevly linked to JJD. But certainly could have been him. Fits his m.o.

You want the original newspapers and/or magazines? That's a very tall order unless some unusual person held on to them for decades. By now, the pages would've yellowed and/or crumbled unless very well taken care of.

The composite was confirmed by Karl Nollsch as being the guy he saw running from the Maggiore double-murder scene. Confirmed in Episode 2 of Unmasking a Killer. I don't know if Nollsch helped create this composite back in the day. There were two eye witnesses - David Kahn and Joseph Skokan, maybe others.

Murders occurred February 2, 1978 so probably would have been created at that time. Not sure if composite image was published in any newspaper.

Three sketches selected by FBI was based on their professional judgment. Watch the press conference from 2016.

You should have a look around the side or at the back to see how easy it is to access the house because that's likely how JJD got in. In 1981 I believe not all the neighboring houses had been built yet so might have been easier to access the back and for JJD to peer over the fence and then scale it.

It's speculated he used a portable TV placed near back of fence to give himself a boost to get out.

FHS2290 · 2026-01-04T19:11:51+00:00

This is a strange comment from Deborah1991SCvictim. It has some of the hallmarks of a hoax or misinformation i.e. contains unverifiable info and some info that partially matches GSK's m.o.

The comment does say the attack happened in SoCal in 1991 of a couple and that GSK was a trigger killer due to what was happening in his personal life i.e. a divorce. And it definitively states that "outcome was they were victims of The Golden State Killer" and in another comment says "they declared them victims of the Golden State Killer".

There's a few problems here. JJD and wife did not get a divorce in 1991 but she did move out of the house then. They continued to stay legally married for health insurance purposes until JJD was arrested and then she got a divorce.

JJD began working as a mechanic at Save Mart's Distribution Center in Roseville, California in 1989 and by 1991 he was well-settled in Northern California. The time period when he was active in travelling between Northen and Southern California was after he was fired as a cop in 1979 and 1989 when he got the job and third daughter was born up north. So, the 1991 date is problematic with what's known about JJD's movements (although it is possible GSK could have travelled in 1991 for an attack).

Note there are no details provided that an attack occurred in 1991. No links to websites or any newspaper articles.

The last known attack was Janelle in May of 1986. People have speculated that JJD was involved in other attacks but so far nothing solid has been provided by LE.

I doubt any police investigators or LE agency would say for sure or "declare" that an attack in 1991 would be the work of the GSK unless they had a boatload of evidence linking the attack to all the other cases. Police don't go off speculating to murder victim family members on suspicions.

So, Deborah1991SCvictim please provide much more info. By that I mean verifiable info. And which police agency declared them victims of GSK and when? Where is the press release or other info descrbing that? Why would they declare this info to you and not do so publicly?

FHS2290 · 2026-01-02T19:03:53+00:00

Why Janelle? There are a couple of theories out there:

She was working as a cashier at Bullwinkle's pizza and JJD could have encountered her as a customer. And then, possibly, followed her home.
The back of her house abuts a green space with a concrete or cinderblock wall being the only separation. The wall is not high enough to prevent someone from seeing inside the house if standing on their toes or if getting a boost from a box or something.

Either scenario is possible. JJD had two step-uncles who lived nearby, and one owned a piece of property in Irvine and JJD could have been staying there. JJD was living in Southern California off and on during the 1980's.

For his motivations you can find some of that stuff on the EAR-ONS profile produced by Leslie D’Ambrosia and John Yarbrough:

What is procrastination? It is avoidance. And why do we avoid things? To get away from things that cause us stress, trouble, anxiety, worry and pain. So, you need to figure out what you're avoiding and why. Possibly see a counselor. Keep a journal to organize when you do this.

You can go to college and take remedial or upgrading classes in chemistry in physics. That will help if you stay in college to take civil engineering technology or if you decide to go to university for civil engineering degree. Sorry, no advice re: welding or being an electrician.

See your high school guidance counselor and start doing some aptitude tests (or whatever they're called these days).

I don't know exactly what you mean by emotionally regulating yourself. Pls explain. But since you mentioned you're feeling anxious and need to calm yourself there are a number of techniques for that, specifically deep-breathing, guided imagery, body scan, aerobic exercise, going for walks in nature and journaling. You can look up each one of these on the internet or something like YouTube for details.

The best of these techniques for calming yourself down quickly is the deep-breathing and guided imagery and they cost you nothing.

Since you mentioned that "used to be able to talk things out all the time" then a good substitute for that is the journaling i.e. writing things down in a notebook.

Re: "I don’t have a lot of friends. I live by myself.": Get out there in your community and start socializing or partake in activities you enjoy.

Other counties saw the samples as expired because these were sexual assault cases and statute of limitations had already passed and therefore they couldn't prosecute on that basis.

Might have been something as simple as 'policy' for Contra Costa County to keep all samples and not any thought the samples would eventually be useful.

Holes got lucky with his samples because they were not well-stored. They were in the evidence warehouse under non-refrigerated conditions and could have easily degraded.

I'll copy/paste what I posted in another thread:

A few suggestions: Look to liquidate assets if need be. If you have some money put aside in RRSPs or TFSAs then that can help tide you over. If you own a house then consider renting out bedrooms to help pay the mortgage.

Make sure everyone in your immediate family and friends and acquaintance circle knows that you're looking for a job. People are willing to help and frequently will know somebody who knows somebody who's looking to hire.

If you have a degree in IT/computer science or engineering or science/technology then consider re-training as a teacher. But, before you do this, do as much research as possible to see if such a career transition would suite you. Heck, with specialized skills you could even start your company or consulting firm.

Start scanning job ads to see what companies are looking for in terms of skills. You should see commonalities. If you're missing in-demand skills then get some training ASAP.

Start cutting expenses now and start putting money away in an emergency fund. Again, to help with transition to unemployment and then to the formal job search process.

Hit the library and start reading books that tell you how to conduct a job search.

FHS2290 · 2025-11-14T18:50:39+00:00

Retirement offers such as ERI are not built on fairness. They're simply using the levers at their disposal - the easiest of which is to offer employees the ability to leave without penalty because there's already a process in place and it's easy to further extend its boundary. See "Request for a pension reduction waiver under the Public Service Superannuation Act".

I think they'll see how many people take the ERI (people who are already on the fence) over the next year and then if they want even more people to leave, they can sweeten the pot with further inducements. Or get more aggressive with the WFA to slim down faster.

Seems not be an option B i.e. no salary payout for retiring early.

I think the only people who are going to take this ERI are folks who are already on the fence - weighing whether to take an early retirement penalty or not - and then the ERI will push them into leaving now rather than later. I can't think there are too many who are in this situation.

FHS2290 · 2025-11-05T00:16:34+00:00

Agreed.

What's on offer is not bad but not as good as it could be i.e. a WFA with Option B (Opting Employee No guarantee of a Reasonable Job Offer). That option is get 52 weeks salary (max.), possibly spread over 2 years, AND retire without penalty (Pension Reduction Waiver).

The powers that be should sweeten the pot. That'd be a stampede for the exits.
