Golden State Killer is a former Police Officer who just plead guilty to killing 13 people
Joseph DeAngelo, 74, also known as the Golden State Killer, has admitted to killing 13 people but will not face the death penalty after striking a deal the United States prosecution.
At the time of the crimes, DeAngelo worked as a California Police officer through the 1970s and '80s but was not arrested until 2018 when DNA evidence linked him to multiple crimes, according to BBC.

DeAngelo is expected to be sentenced to life in prison in August.
