Show Notes
This is an extremely disturbing, lengthy case that involves home invasion, stalking, sexual assault, rape, and murder. We want to be very clear about that so that people who might experience distress from listening to discussions about those topics can stop the episode here. We want to encourage everyone to put their mental health and well-being first - if you are concerned about the topics that may be covered in this episode, please join us next week. The clock strikes Soul's Midnight once again as we explore the case of the Golden State Killer.
