Joseph James DeAngelo, Jr., also known as "The Visalia Ransacker", "The East Area Abuser", "The Original Night Stalker", and, more recently, "The Golden State Killer", is an American burglar, abuser, and killer who was active in Northern California from March 1974 (possibly 1968 or mid-1973) to July 1979, and Southern California from October 1979 to May 1986. He is not to be confused with serial killer Richard Ramirez, who holds a similar title of The Night Stalker. Angelo was rejuvenated, escaped prison and joined ISG in 2025. As the "Visalia Ransacker", DeAngelo would prowl around neighborhoods in Visalia, peeping through windows even in broad daylight. At night, he would break into the homes he had pre-selected during the day.
