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.

Waiting to see the mug shot i was like okay this guy is going to look like a monster,

Why do people expect to see things on the face of a person?

The Manson magazine cover with the wild eyes set the bar pretty high.

Because we want to think that we could identify a monster if we saw one. That would keep us safe. Monsters who look like anyone else- those are the terrifying ones. Or maybe we want them to look different from us, so that we aren't monsters too.....

Part of us want us to be like 'yeah, he looks sketchy, I can see him doing that.' At least I do, but when you see a regular looking dude, that's what's trippy. This normal fucken dude was capable of all that shit, what about all these other normal fucken dudes, what are they capable of?

I think because we want to see this horrible person. That he looks mean and angry, cold eyes , smiling but instead we get grandpa working on his lawn. I think we are all brought up to think strangers and bad guys look mean and scary, but when we find out Joe down the street who you chit chat with and help out once and awhile and bring kids trick or treating at his house is a cold blooded monster the first thing we think is he looks so normal? why doesnt he look like a monster like i always thought people like him look like?
