  UNTOLD STORY OF THE GOLDEN STATE...

  For over forty years, he was a ghost. Then DNA caught him. 
  Between 1974 and 1986, a masked predator terrorized California—raping more than fifty women, murdering at least thirteen people, and vanishing without a trace. Families slept with weapons. Neighborhoods formed armed patrols. Police pursued thousands of dead-end leads. Yet the Golden State Killer remained free, hidden among the very communities he had brutalized. 
  What made him so terrifying wasn't just his violence—it was his intelligence. A former police officer, he understood exactly how investigators worked and used that knowledge to stay invisible. He attacked in multiple jurisdictions, moved constantly, left minimal evidence, and then simply stopped. For decades, detectives believed he was either dead or had escaped justice forever. 
  They were wrong. 
  This is the complete story of how cutting-edge forensic genealogy finally unmasked Joseph James DeAngelo, a seemingly ordinary grandfather living in the same Sacramento suburb where he'd committed his earliest attacks. Through meticulous research and powerful survivor testimonies, you'll discover how one man evaded capture for over four decades, the psychological toll on entire communities, and the revolutionary DNA technique that changed criminal investigation forever. 
  Inside these pages, you'll witness the courtroom confrontation where survivors finally faced their attacker, understand the failures and breakthroughs that defined the investigation, and see how this case solved hundreds of other cold cases across America. 
  Justice delayed forty-four years. But justice served. 
  If you're fascinated by true crime that reads like a thriller but delivers real answers, this meticulously researched account reveals every shocking detail of America's most elusive serial predator—and the science that finally brought him down.

  “As you read this blurb, you know you would never confess to a crime you didn’t commit. Read this compelling study and you’ll change your mind. Dr. Kassin lays bare the dirty tricks used by police to make innocents confess. And he describes, convincingly, what should be done to stop them.”– John Grisham, #1 New York Times-bestselling authorWritten by the world's leading expert on false confessions, this landmark book reveals the psychology behind why innocent men, women, and children, intensely stressed and befuddled by the promises, threats, trickery, and deception of a police interrogation, are duped into confession, no matter how horrific the crime. Featuring riveting case studies, highly original research, work done in tandem with the Innocence Project, and quotes from individuals who confessed to crimes they did not commit, Duped tells the story of how this happens, how the system turns a blind eye, and how to make it stop.Why do people confess to crimes they did not commit? And, surely, those cases must be rare? In fact, it happens all the time—in police stations, workplaces, public schools, and the military. Psychologist Saul Kassin, the world’s leading expert on false confessions, explains how interrogators trick innocent people into confessing, and then how the criminal justice system deludes us into believing these confessions.Duped reveals how innocent men, women, and children, intensely stressed and befuddled by lawful weapons of psychological interrogation, are induced into confession, no matter how horrific the crime. By featuring riveting case studies, highly original research, work by the Innocence Project, and quotes from real-life exonerees, Kassin tells the story of how false confessions happen, and how they corrupt forensics, witnesses, and other evidence, force guilty pleas, and follow defendants for their entire lives— even after they are exonerated by DNA.Starting in the 1980’s, Dr. Kassin pioneered the scientific study of interrogations and confessions. Since then, he has been on the forefront of research and advocacy for those wrongfully convicted by police-induced false confessions. Examining famous cases like the Central Park jogger case and Amanda Knox case, as well as stories of ordinary innocent people trapped into confession, Dr. Kassin exposes just how widespread this problem is. Concluding with actionable solutions and proposals for legislative reform, Duped shows why the stigma of confession persists and how we can reform the criminal justice system to make it stop.
