The Golden State Killer 'Sudden Terror' by Retired Det. Larry Crompton

The Zodiac Killer terrorized communities in Northern California in the 1960's. In the 1970's and '80's, a relatively unknown serial predator created the same terror in communities both in Northern and Southern California. He was called the East Area Rapist (EAR) ,the Original Night Stalker (ONS) and is now known as The Golden State Killer. Veteran Detective Larry Crompton worked these crimes in the 1970's and has written a book that gives the public more insight into the terrifying crimes of this vicious rapist/killer.

"Sudden Terror" chronicles the case that haunted the investigators who worked it and illuminates their quest for justice that has now spanned 3 decades. Larry Crompton wrote "Sudden Terror" with the hopes that someone, somewhere would come forward with information that would lead to the identity of the Golden State Killer and bring some sense of closure to the victims of this sexual monster. Finally, revolutionary familial DNA testing led to identifying this killer. There are hard-learned lessons for all of law enforcement in how to deal with intelligent, organized serial offenders.
