00:00:00
Who else has been named over the years? You're not going to believe this, but actually
00:00:04
uh one of the most recent suspects that got named was Joseph DeAngelo. The Golden State Killer? That's the one.
00:00:12
Golden State as in the US. >> in California. Yeah, apparently after his arrest, US authorities realized that
00:00:19
the year after the Golden State Killer attacks stopped in California, that's when Mr. Cruel emerged in Australia.
00:00:26
Okay. And after looking into it, the US authorities like found that Joseph actually had spent some time in
00:00:32
Australia, like on a tour of duty during the Vietnam War. Which, yeah, I know what you're going to say. This is not
00:00:39
which was not in the 1980s. I know, but they're kind of thinking, well, you know, he has some connection to this
00:00:43
place. Maybe he could have like gone back, returned at some point. They kind of have similar MOs, like the
00:00:50
breaking and entering, wearing a mask, claiming to rob their victims before committing sexual assault, and like the
00:00:56
idea that they're like meticulous planners. And not even that, like both of them at one point paused during their
00:01:00
attacks to like eat food out of the victim's fridge. But as like incredible of an ending as that would be to this
00:01:07
story, I have to break it to you that like pretty quickly Victoria Police rule him out as a suspect. I don't know I
00:01:13
have the details on how they rule him out, but we do know that Victoria Police investigated this theory, decided there
00:01:19
is not much to it. But if we're looking to the Victoria Police for a name, maybe
00:01:24
we should trust the guy who worked for them for ages, who's been telling the public about a suspect that was brought
00:01:30
to him years ago.
