Listener discretion is advised.

I'd like to welcome everyone to episode 11, season two of Criminology.

And more of it has been a heck of a last week. That's all I can say.

News of the arrest of Joseph DiAngelo, more of dropped after we had already recorded episode 10.

So episode 10 was in the can. This unbelievable news broke that has rocked the true crime world.

You and I had to scramble come together do a bonus episode we had to right there was information we had to get it out.

Yeah, like you said this week has really been insane from the amount of news and coverage that this case is getting.

So the true crime world really took notice this week of the case and it was a big topic of discussion.

And rightfully so because it's it's an incredible case and it's one of the biggest unsolved cases in true crime history at this point.

Well more if I've covered a lot of unsolved cases a lot that have been aged right as this one was it's almost unprecedented to have this kind of news break.

On a case this big and I think that's why so many people have been captivated by a lot of people that didn't even know the case saw it on the news and were like hey I gotta find out more about this case.

Yeah, and it's a case that really up until about two years ago I'd say most of the country wasn't aware of.

And over the last two years it's gotten so much attention through different media outlets and social media.

People spreading the word about it trying to bring awareness to it that now it has a national following and it just so happens that now is the time when it's when there's a big break in the case when it's hopefully solved and there's a conviction.

And that could be the end of the line and and we can move on from it.

But cases like zodiacs on a sand, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy those are all household names but many of those killers don't have the kind of victims and history.

And the kind of terror that this killer has.

Yeah, I think we've talked about it on previous episodes that I was shocked when we started the research of this case how many people had not heard of it because of how prolific this individual was how horrific the crimes were right you put those two together and it's startling.

This episode is dropping on May 5th and if you're listening to it as it comes out more if you're listening to it on Sunday we'll be wrapping up we might be on our way back from crime con.

But crime con more just took on a whole different level there was already a large number of things planned around the East Area rapist the Golden State killer.

So there was already planned to be their victims family members of victims you know other people associated with the case to talk about it to spread more awareness.
