In addition to providing more closure on the Golden State Killer case, the new episode likewise returns to the story of author McNamara, who tragically passed away in 2016, a few years before the publishing of her book I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, which was released only months before the eventual arrest of the killer. Many of the survivors and victim’s family members featured in the series reconvened for an emotional public sentencing hearing in August 2020, where they were given the opportunity to speak about their long-held pain and anger through victim impact statements, facing their attacker directly for the first time and bringing a sense of justice and resolution to the case. In the summer of 2020, former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo, also known as the Golden State Killer, was sentenced to life in prison for the 50 home-invasion rapes and 13 murders he committed during his reign of terror in the 1970s and ‘80s in California. The special new episode will debut on Monday, June 21, available via HBO and HBO Max. Almost a year after it first premiered on HBO, true crime documentary I’ll Be Gone in the Dark will return with a special episode directed by Elizabeth Wolff, adding a new addendum to the story of author Michelle McNamara and her hunt for the elusive rapist and serial killer known as the Golden State Killer.
