Those Conspiracy Guys is a comedy, history and True Crime podcast based in Ireland and deals with everything from the out-there conspiracy theories like aliens, time travel, and ancient civilisations to the more grounded, historical and provable conspiracies like political and financial corruption, scientific chicanery and secret government agency shenanigans. From the high concept topics like inter dimensional lizard men, complicated assassination plots and future technology like alternative simulated universes to the much more tangible topics like discussing serial killers and mysterious disappearances, exploring religions and cult leaders and examining unbelievable true crime cases. You are brought on a light hearted and hilarious exploration of these fantastic stories by TCG host Gordo and a cavalcade of comedians and fabulously interesting guests.

The Golden State Killer
TRUE CRIME -
On this episode, we talk about Joseph James DeAngelo now known as The Golden State Killer and his 40-year reign of terror on the unsuspecting residents of California. During the 70s DeAngelo committed a series of brutal rapes and murders but did so in many different areas and with seemingly different motives and techniques.
He was mistakenly identified as the Visalia Ransacker, The Original Night Stalker and The Diamond Knot Killer by law enforcement; thinking these murders were committed by different people. His preparation, execution and psychological terrorism after the crimes had been committed have never been equalled. His efficiency and careful planning left him unapprehended until the summer of 2018.
I'll Be Gone in The Dark, the book by Michelle McNamara, and her tireless work writing about this case brought new evidence to light in the years preceding his arrest. DNA evidence and modern investigative tools finally put a name to the criminal known by so many aliases.
Johnny Daly from @DisasterArtists podcast joins me to chat about JJ DeAngelo and the cases, techniques, and brutal executions he administered to his victims. You can find Johnny and his podcast on all podcast platforms and at http://www.disasterartistspodcast.com
