EAR was formally charged with murders of Katie and Brian Maggiore in Sacramento County. Anne Penn has written three follow-up books to this story. The Creep Among Us After The Arrest, October 2018 & What If? Golden State Killer ZODIAC SOLVED September 2019 & END GAME Most Dangerous Game Golden State Killer written during the Admitting of his guilt, and sentencing in June 2020, and August 2020. How many more monikers & murders are really connected to this man? Anne's profile was correct. New information added after arrest, and included here. A memorial for just a few murdered women and girls that are cold cases never solved are included at the end of the book. Quite a bit of what Anne profiled and predicted of this killer turned out to be correct. She was sure he was still sitting in Sacramento all these years later because he was so arrogant thinking we would never find him until it was too late. But! We finally did. Documenting the cases is what Anne has taken on, and has been brilliant at putting the pieces together. Follow her series of what has been found throughout her journey to find this once elusive killer, and as her investigations brought three more books after this one. Very interesting reads.
