I'm Jennifer Carole and I am the Lawyer's Daughter. My dad (a lawyer) and my stepmom were murdered in March 1980 in Ventura, California. Through cold case detective work and DNA, our crime was linked to the notorious Golden State Killer. The pod includes real-time reporting and memories. It's just me so I'll be using a live, radio style of podcasting. Feedback always welcome! PS: the blog is LawyersDaughter.com.

While you're here, if you love true crime, do I have a story for you. It starts below. Join me on my wild ride with the survivors and the conviction of the Golden State Killer. It started in 1980 for me, but in 2018, all hell broke loose.

June 4, 2020 | The Visalia Ransacker Interview with Margie Smith (Part 1)
Thursday Jun 04, 2020
Thursday Jun 04, 2020
Before he terrorized Sacramento, Joseph DeAngelo, the amazingly evil Golden State Killer, managed to terrorize Visalia. He murdered Claude Snelling and broke into more than 100 homes. There's more we just can't prove. Here's Margie's story (not my mom!) in part one of two.

June 4, 2020 | The Visalia Ransacker Interview with Margie Smith (Part 2)

Thursday Jun 04, 2020
THIS IS PART TWO - MAKE SURE YOU LISTEN TO PART ONE FIRST!
Margie talks about what DeAngelo did when he broke into homes and then she taps some of his classic behaviors: anniversaries, riddles, mind-f-cking. All things we now know. I wish we could convict him for every damn crime.

The last few weeks have been incredibly hard. This pod is pretty raw as I struggle to share my feelings.

June 13, 2020 | Uncovering DeAngelo's History with "Deep Throat" | Part 1
Saturday Jun 13, 2020
Saturday Jun 13, 2020
I've called her that from almost the first day. Desperate to maintain her privacy, Deep Throat (my moniker for her) has done incredible research into DeAngelo that goes beyond what you've read in the papers. She also provides insight into how to do this kind of research yourself, which I find truly interesting. See what you think. Here's part one.

June 13, 2020 | Uncovering DeAngelo's History with "Deep Throat" | Part 2
Saturday Jun 13, 2020
Saturday Jun 13, 2020
Here's part two. As we pour over what Deep Throat has uncovered about DeAngelo, I'm am not surprised he has more crimes that aren't currently included in his "portfolio". I'm having a hard time understanding how his family, the adults, didn't know something was very, very wrong.

June 15, 2020 | DeAngelo is Taking a Plea
Monday Jun 15, 2020
Monday Jun 15, 2020
I recorded this on June 3, literally took me three days just to live with the news to be able to talk about it. I had to hold this until the news broke. It's breaking today. I have no words for how hard this has been to have things end so quickly. I also can't thank my legal team enough for their thoughtfulness, empathy and compassion.

June 15, 2020 | Zoom Live: Recording from Today's Discussion
Monday Jun 15, 2020
Monday Jun 15, 2020
This was amazing. Thank you to all who came. When I squeal at the beginning, that's totally legit as I could see every sweet smiling face and so many names I recognized. While anything could happen by the 29th (and it seems like so much has), we should soon be putting a fork in this thing. We'll do this again on the 30th.

Jun 25, 2020 | Now | Four Days Before the Big Day
Thursday Jun 25, 2020
Thursday Jun 25, 2020
I promised to share "how it feels" and it's not pleasant. There's too much going on and that's tough. I knew it would get rough but I underestimated how rough. I'm heading out to see Victim 1 who had surgery last weekend and we're hoping she's gonna bounce and be there on Monday. We all just need to make it to the finish line at this point. This one is fast, but provides an update.

Jun 27, 2020 | Now | Like a Phoenix Rising (Two Days Before Court)
Saturday Jun 27, 2020
Saturday Jun 27, 2020
It is possible for one's brain to simply say "enough". That was me yesterday. After a nice evening with Kris and Gay just prepping for today (gathering of victims and some new faces) and Monday, court. I have been struggling with sleep and it finally caught up to me. Thankfully, I managed to get rest and today I'm doing so much better. The link to the Zoom planned for Tuesday is at jcarole.com. Then the recording will be on YouTube at Lawyers Daughter or try this.

June 30, 2020 | Now | Convicted! Post-conviction Zoom Discussion
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Joseph DeAngelo, the horrendous, sadistic, brutal Golden State Killer, is convicted. I still kind of can't believe it. We did a Zoom meeting to talk about what everyone experienced and I share some "behind the scenes" information from Monday's hearing. Love you all! Your support is truly important.
Thank you.

July 6, 2020 | Letting Go During Our Lunar Renewal Ceremony
Tuesday Jul 07, 2020
Tuesday Jul 07, 2020
One week after DeAngelo, the convicted Golden State Killer, (feels so nice to say that), entered his plea, I needed a way to let Charlene and my dad go. The full moon is a powerful source of renewal, so in the spirit of Spirit, my Santa Cruz roots and all things powerful, we did a thing. This isn't a typical podcast, so this might not be for you, but I wanted to share anyway.
Much love to all of you for the limitless support.
