Killings have been a usual topic for all of us due to the increase of murders nationwide. Most of the suspects get arrested after a few months, but in some cases there are a few who have been out on the loose.  Just last May 14, CNN published that the Golden State Killer  is Joseph James DeAngelo.  Investigators have been searching and hunting him for 40 years and now he has appeared in court. He was arrested last month and now he’s facing 12 charges of homicide including Katie and Brian Maggiore way back in February 2 1978.  It’s quite disappointing how people weren’t able to stop him in an earlier time to prevent more deaths.  Officials also stated that DeAngelo was also responsible for an estimated 50 rapes in California between the year of 1976 and 1986.

It was said that Josep DeAngelo was a former police officer, a mechanic and a Vietnam Vet.  Now this is quite shocking how someone who once protected its country and its citizens have committed all these misdeeds.  In recent years, they paid intense attention to this case once again wherein authorities tracked him using the data and the information an ancestry website. They found  DNA in a crime scene that matched the genetic material from relative who was registered on genealogy sites and later on they finally obtained a discarded sample of DeAngelo’s DNA.

The trial still continues and there is no further information regarding this case. Hopefully people learn to think of how their actions have consequences that affects other people too.  Lives aren’t a toy we should playing around with.  A life of a person is a journey they have lived and wished to continue to live.  We all have the right to them and killing is depriving them of the life they could have had.
