Back in June, Joseph DeAngelo Jr. pled guilty to committing 13 murders and nearly 150 other crimes up and down California.
Joseph DeAngelo's victims and their families will get a chance to speak in court when DeAngelo is sentenced in mid-August.
DeAngelo, a former police officer, was arrested April 24 in the Citrus Heights area of Northern California.
DeAngelo is on suicide watch in the psychiatric ward of the county jail and has been quietly talking to himself, said Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones.
The Sacramento Bee, citing Chief Deputy Steve Grippi, reported Thursday that investigators used crime scene DNA and matched it to a relative who was registered on genealogy sites.
The late Michelle McNamara, who published the website True Crime Diary, was long fascinated by the unsolved case, dubbed the suspect the "Golden State Killer" and investigated it on her own.
