Survivors of rapes committed by Joseph DeAngelo, the man now known as the "Golden State Killer," made their voices heard in victim impact statements in court Wednesday.
In October 1976, Carson-Sandler was home with her 3-year-old son when a knife-wielding DeAngelo broke in. DeAngelo bound her, blindfolded her and gagged her, and did the same to her son."Then you repeatedly threatened to kill us," Carson-Sandler said."The fear escalated when you started tearing sheets and clothes. I had no idea what you were planning to do with all that cloth.
Carson-Sandler and the other victims were joined in court by DeAngelo's former fiancée, a woman named Bonnie, whose breakup with DeAngelo may have sparked some of DeAngelo's violence, according to an investigator.During one rape in 1978, DeAngelo sobbed and appeared to call out the name of his former girlfriend, saying,"'I hate you, Bonnie,' over and over," investigator Paul Holes told ABC News in 2018.
"I survived those repeated attacks. The hours of terror," she said."However our lives were never the same."
