Golden State Killer Victims Map: Survivors Were Sometimes Neighbors

The last known East Area attack was in July of 1979. After more than 50 rapes and attempted attacks, including his first-known murders, DeAngelo moved south. While some of the rape survivors in the Sacramento area have spoken out publicly about their experience, others have either passed away or remained anonymous. However, many of them or their surviving family members will have the opportunity to break their silence when DeAngelo is sentenced at a hearing scheduled for August 17, 2020.

For example, rape victim No. 5, Jane Carson-Sandler, who now lives in South Carolina, spoke with Hilton Head’s Island Packet newspaper about her experience. And one of GSK’s youngest victims, Kris Pedretti, spoke about her harrowing experience in great detail for the documentary I’ll Be Gone in the Dark. In fact, the title for the book and documentary comes from the threat DeAngelo whispered in her ear as he held a knife to her neck: “If you scream or move i will put this knife through your throat, and i’ll be gone in the dark.”
