It’s been a huge week for micro-penises — especially those belonging to psychopaths.
First, it was revealed that DNA evidence has shown that Hitler may have had a miniature soldier, and now a new book claims that the “Golden State Killer” — the infamous serial killer who was famously caught with the help of Michelle McNamara, the wife of Patton Oswalt — may only have been caught because of his shrunken schwanz.
Page Six got a sneak peak at Sacramento DA Thien Ho’s new tome, “The People vs. the Golden State Killer,” and Ho writes that the nominal knob was the detail that made detectives connect multiple sets of crimes to the same perp, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. TMZ first reported on the new book.
DeAngelo had been arrested on suspicion of several brutal crimes around California, but cops believed he might also be responsible for those committed by a perp then known as the “East Area Rapist.”
Victims in both crimes he was already suspected of and the still-unsolved crimes had described the perp as having a tiny penis.
With no DNA linking him to those cases, Ho writes, “I needed circumstantial evidence corroborating his identity as the EAR. I needed to confirm the extreme smallness of his penis.”
Cops and a photographer were assigned to take pics of DeAngelo’s genitalia while he was in custody.
Ho writes that the photog “kneeled down to do so, but he grew frustrated after several failed attempts.”
“[One of the cops] threw up his hands in the air in exasperation and barked … ‘There’s nothing there,’” he writes.
The police reported to Ho, “It’s smaller than the circumference of a dime and its length is equal to the tip of your pinky.”
“We had the circumstantial evidence we needed in order to corroborate the testimonies of DeAngelo’s victims,” Ho writes.
In 2020, DeAngelo pleaded guilty to 26 crimes, including the East Area attacks.
He was given multiple consecutive life sentences with no possibility of parole.
