درباره این اپیزود
In October 1976, Jane Carson-Sandler became one of the earliest targeted survivors of the East Area Rapist—the violent predator who would later be exposed as the Golden State Killer, Joseph James DeAngelo.
When a masked intruder broke into her home with a butcher knife while she was with her three-year-old son, Jane faced sheer terror yet held onto the quiet determination that she and her child would survive.
In this episode, we examine Jane Carson-Sandler's survival, her decades-long wait for accountability, and the moment she stood in a California courtroom to stare down her attacker 44 years later. From navigating the trauma of the early investigation mechanics to stepping into her power as an author, advocate, and thriver, Jane's story centers on accountability, resilience, and the enduring strength of survivor voices.
