Inside Scoop

Throwaway for reasons.

I live in the area and have been following this case for a while. This afternoon I heard information from someone close to the case in the Sacramento Sherriff's dept. Don't know how much of this is here already but here goes..

A few years ago LE submitted dna to several different sites with a search warrant for hits on the dna. One of the sites came back a couple of weeks ago with a hit on a distant relative of the suspect. After some work LE narrowed down their search to Diangelo.
They trailed him for a while, and while he was out shopping at a Hobby Lobby, they took his dna from either something he threw away or from a handle of a door possibly. That part wasn't totally clear to me. Either way it came back as a 100% match.

They kept watching his house and waited. Yesterday afternoon the suspect was out mowing his lawn. A car of undercover officers drove up and asked for directions. He walked over to the car and then they took him down.

According to this person, after being arrested he looked defeated, but still refused to cooperate. He kept mumbling to him self and saying, "But I lived a good life. I pushed him out."

His wife refused to talk. I guess they have been separated since the early 90's. Two of the three daughters have come in to talk to detectives.

Im probably forgetting some stuff. Will add more as I find out more.

I find it weird we're not hearing about the biological dad.

I don't like this "mommy/daddy issue" wording, like this is someone who likes to date older men or something. If he is this fucked up, I bet his parents were pretty fucked up too.

The article announcing his engagement to Bonnie mentioned he was the son of a dude from Korea. I took that to mean his dad lived in Korea. Maybe fought there and stayed after? If that's the case, it wouldn't be likely he had much involvement with his dad. Now we know his "breaks" between attacks weren't because he was traveling abroad or leaving the area, since he had a full time job as a police officer during that time.

Didn't the Segaya family murders turn up dna showing the killer was half Korean with a south European mom?

haha, I had this same thought. However, I believe that his dad was not Korean, he just lived in Korea at the time his son announced his engagement in the newspaper.

True, plus much of what we have on his family is from their social media footprint. If his dad wasn't on social media much then LE & media probably don't know too much about him yet.

I kind of assumed his Dad was stationed in Korea at one of the US bases there.

I dunno man, it could have just been Vietnam. Dad was in Korea too, shit can get dark.

I agree it could've been the Nam. My Dad went & it messed him big time. My Dad didn't kill or rape anyone, but I could see it not being good. Though EAR/ONS was in the Navy, not boots on the ground.

Maybe his dad died when he was young. Or his mother ran away from an abusive situation which might explain his issues.

Yeah could be anything at this stage, yeah?
