Sudden Terror The True Story of California's Most Infamous Serial Predator The East Area Rapist AKA The Original Night Stalker

Book Synopsis: New update after the arrest last thoughts added to this edition. The original comprehensive case files of the East Area Rapist who became known as The Original Night Stalker. A serial rapist turned serial murderer, he held California in a grip of fear for way too long. Larry Crompton tells us of the attacks that began in Northern CA in 1976 that continued on until 1986 that we know of. Prior to Sacramento attacks there was a serial prowler called the Visalia Ransacker with over 125 break in prowling's under his belt. Detective Crompton had a feeling all of the attacks were connected and tried to tell jurisdictions across the state. Retired from Contra Costa County Department, Sheriff's Detective Lieutenant Larry Crompton had never quit searching for this serial predator. Now at long last Joseph James DeAngelo is the face of the man behind the mask. DeAngelo plead guilty in June of 2020. The case was solved by a 100% DNA match and Genetic Genealogy. The perpetrator's name had become the Golden State Killer. Now what we look for are answers. Hopefully there are not more victims of this serial predator, but there likely are. This book originally released on paperback in 2010 was the first book out on a case that no one was talking about. Graphic in the real reporting of the attacks, Retired Lieutenant Larry Crompton was compelled to write the story so we would not forget. Justice is served at last. The victims were never forgotten.
