Roots in Visalia?

The East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer has been terrorizing the citizens of Sacramento county. We talk about additional attacks to start this episode. There were a number of sightings of strange people in different neighborhoods, some posing as meter readers, some posing as census takers. Neighbors and victims continue to receive haunting phone calls. We talk to a man who, in 1977, saw the East Area Rapist in his yard and actually came close to catching him. He takes us back to those events that occurred 40+ years ago. And then we finish talking about the Visalia Ransacker. This criminal, who operated in the mid-1970s, terrorized the town of Visalia. And then all of a sudden he vanished. Or, as some have theorized, did he move 200 miles to Sacramento County and begin operating there as EAR?
