I was just talking about this case like a few weeks back
Whoa. Is this forreal?
I was just thinking about this case, watched the ID special, checked out some dedicated websites... and this whole thing is insane.
If EAR/ONS crime spree has been even partially solved it's huge.
I expected him to be like Zodiac and never identified, no clear suspects, taking all that sht straight to the grave.

'It's terrifying.' Neighbors react to possibility they lived next to East Area Rapist

Residents in the Citrus Heights neighborhood swarmed by FBI agents Wednesday said they were stunned that a 72-year-old resident may be suspected of committing notorious crimes decades ago.
Joseph James DeAngelo's house was cordoned off as FBI agents and law enforcement from Sacramento and Southern California investigated the scene. As many as 30 law enforcement officers were standing in front of his trim home, on quiet, middle-class Canyon Oak Drive Wednesday morning.
An official would not confirm that DeAngelo was the suspect arrested overnight in the East Area Rapist case but said a noon news conference on the investigation would provide more details.
DeAngelo is listed in Sacramento County jail records as being booked early this morning on two counts of murder from a Ventura County Sheriff's Department warrant.
"It's terrifying to think this man could have hopped the fence, and come into my backyard. I have children," said Beth Walsh, who lives behind DeAngelo on an adjacent street. "I'm glad to know they caught this guy."
Paul Sanchietti, who lives a quarter-block away, described DeAngelo as "the odd neighbor" who cursed loudly while working in his front yard.
"He was aggravated or upset, his voice would carry, his swearing was alarming," Sanchietti said. "But he seemed to calm down in the last few years."
Neighbors said they believed DeAngelo lived in the home with at least one other person, and they reported seeing DeAngelo working in his front yard as recently as Tuesday, building a table. A Toyota and a Volvo sat in the meticulously maintained garage Wednesday morning.
Kevin Tapia said he grew up in a home behind DeAngelo and is now raising his own family there. In more than three decades, Tapia said his family has often had angry run-ins with DeAngelo.
"He had a lot of verbal altercations with my parents," Tapia said.
Tapia described DeAngelo as extremely meticulous, to the point of having permanent markings on his driveway so he could be exact in parking his boat. He said he talked to DeAngelo as recently as a week ago about a motorcycle mechanic.
DeAngelo was fired from the Auburn police department in 1979 after being charged with shoplifting a hammer and a can of dog repellant at a Citrus Heights drug store, according to an Auburn Journal article.
DeAngelo was married in fall 1973 to the former Sharon Marie Huddle of Citrus Heights, according to a wedding announcement in The Sacramento Bee. The announcement described DeAngelo, who also became known as the Golden State Killer, as a graduate of Folsom High School and Sacramento State.
The wedding was held at Auburn First Congregational Church.

it is what it is
I dont know why they didnt start looking at cops earlier in the case. This nikka had balls he broke into so many homies it was obvious the killer knew how law enforcement worked and had no fear of ever being caught.

- He is 100% DNA match. In other words, this is definitely the guy,
- He is in custody and IS talking,
- He was a police officer in Auburn, CA although was fired from this position after being caught shoplifting in 1979,
- This means he was a member of law enforcement for all but one of the EAR attacks. After his dismissal from the force he escalated exclusively to murder, (with thanks to /u/ragnarockette for this clarification)
- Was born in 1947 (possibly 1945), so would have been in the upper predicted age range (based on victim statements),
- He has confirmed to police that he was also the Visalia Ransacker (a B&E spree the pre-dated the main EAR attacks)
- Law enforcement will be giving a press conference at 12pm (PST) TODAY
