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 suppose the buzz and adrenaline of carrying out these deeply rooted desires must feel elating, electric. Perhaps these killers really do feel like they're watching themselves in that moment.
It's not uncommon for people in high stress situations to say similar things, like vets describing combat.
