Hear from the prosecutor who brought the Golden State Killer to justice.

In The People vs. the Golden State Killer, Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho shares the first official inside account of the investigation, capture, and prosecution of Joseph DeAngelo—one of America’s most infamous serial predators. For more than a decade, DeAngelo terrorized California communities under names that still haunt true-crime history: the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker, and, ultimately, the Golden State Killer. Then, he vanished—only to resurface more than 30 years later in a dramatic case that gripped the nation.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear directly from the prosecutor who brought the Golden State Killer to justice. Join us at the Sacramento Public Library as Thien Ho takes you behind the scenes of one of California’s most unforgettable trials.
