HBO's documentary series based on the best-selling book returns with a special episode. The series explores writer Michelle McNamara's investigation into the dark world of the violent predator she dubbed "The Golden State Killer."
The critically acclaimed six-part documentary series based on Michelle McNamara's best-selling book, I'LL BE GONE IN THE DARK returns with a special episode. In the summer of 2020, former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo, also known as the Golden State Killer, was sentenced to life in prison for the 50 home-invasion rapes and 13 murders he committed during his reign of terror in the 1970s and '80s in California. Many of the survivors and victim's family members featured in the series reconvened for an emotional public sentencing hearing in August 2020, where they were given the opportunity to speak about their long-held pain and anger through victim impact statements, facing their attacker directly for the first time and bringing a sense of justice and resolution to the case.
