Strangely this was announced the day after investigators announced they had been talking to Australian Police about the similarities between the offender's MO and that of their infamous Mr Cruel

If you are unaware of the case have a read up on wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_State_Killer
I listened to a podcast on the case and it's the sole reason I updated our home security to what it is!

The guy's booking sheet, he is apparently (and according to the EAR/ONS/Golden State Killer Redit) a DNA match and rather worryingly a former police officer.
An old clipping of when he was sacked from the police
It is rumoured that he is also matched to the Visalia Ransacker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visalia_Ransacker
So that makes the Visalia Ransacker, The East Area Rapist, The Original Night-Stalker and The Golden State Killer all one and the same person.

If anyone is at all interested the news conference is going live in 15 mins during this live stream show on the case;

The EARONS reddit has a few thoughts on it, he did end up having a family and that coincided with his stopping although there two particular unsolved murders in the direct vicinity of where his daughter lived (different MO however).
Some of those reddit sleuths are pretty good at digging this stuff out, thieve found an old engagement announcement from before he was married;
He mentioned the name "Bonnie" in some of the attacks according to survivors although police wondered if it was a ruse to throw them off the scent.
Someone has also posted up unconfirmed details of his arrest (although some details match witness accounts) and how they caught him. The theory goes they sent the EARON's DNA to the ancestry website 23andme and got a hit for a distant relative, which allowed them to look at family members and single him out.
From getting him as a suspect and being put under surveillance they simply needed a discarded coffee cup or similar to confirm he was their man.
Lots more details to come out obviously but you can't help but think there's a great movie in it all.

I don't know if it an urban myth or not but there is a current debate about whether these DNA/ancestry testing outfits in the USA routinely forward results to the FBI, and the fact that they do is all in the small print if you care to read it.
I'd love someone to tell me this isn't true.
It may not be, there is another theory doing the rounds that one of his daughters was caught with cannabis, which in CA carries a mandatory DNA swab being taken.I'd love someone to tell me this isn't true.
From what I’ve read there are serious legal obstructions in CA for police to tap into a private DNA database to check against. They would essentially have to obtain a warrant for every profile they checked against which would be unworkable (not to mention the websites DNA check works in a totally different way).
I’m not aware that their small print allows them to share it willingly?

Updated, the DA has confirmed he was caught by crosschecking an old DNA sample against the modern genealogy websites such as 23andme and/or ancestry.com
