This is Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brewste, Stacey Cole, and Todd Michaels.

For decades, a Golden State killer was the faceless terror of California.

A ghost who broke into homes, stole innocence, and vanished.

When he was finally caught, the courtroom became the one place where the survivors,

after 40 years, could speak directly to the man who destroyed their lives.

My guest today isn't just telling that story.

He lived at Sacramento County District Attorney Tien Ho led the prosecution that finally ended the Golden State Killer's reign of silence.

And now in his new book, The People v. the Golden State Killer, he's taking us behind the scenes of the investigation, the trial, and the moral weight of justice.

And we're going to go into what went on behind those scenes behind that

curtain today with your questions our questions and really digging deep into the parts of the

story that you may have never heard before welcome to put your questions in the comment section there on YouTube

and we'll try to get to them throughout our conversation. Ten, welcome to the program and thanks

for taking the time today to join us. It's an honor for me to be on the show, so thank you so much.

Tim, there is, there's so much to go through and so many questions that I think a lot of us have

about this case, where it's at today, how it got here. But, I mean, take us back a little bit.

I mean, you have lived, you know, a very interesting story, the American immigrant story.

You fleeed Saigon, learned English from scratch. You became the DA. I mean,

how, I want to ask, from your perspective, from your prism of everything you've lived through in life

to coming into contact with this case, how did that experience and your experience

shape the way that you saw this case about the power, the fear and control that this man welded for so many years?

You know, we're all a creation of our own history, right?

Our personal history, our family's history.
