>>> HOW
>>> HOW COULD MY LIFE EVER GO BACK BEFORE WHAT I KNEW THAT NIGHT IN JULY.
MY MORE NORMAL TEENAGERS WERE
GONE.
MY SAFETY AND SECURITY WERE
TAKEN AWAY FROM ME THAT NIGHT,
AND I WOULD NEVER GET THAT
BACK.
THAT WAS THE DAY THAT I KNEW I
HAD PROOF.
MONSTERS WERE REAL.
>> IS A LOOK AT HIM TODAY, I
SEE A PATHETIC COWARD AND A
DEPLORABLE SHELL OF BARELY
HUMAN MATERIAL.
>> HE DID NOT HAVE THE IMPACT
THAT HE WANTED TO HAVE, HE DID
NOT DESTROY US.
>> IT IS INCONCEIVABLE THAT
SUCH A CREATURE EXISTS IN THIS
WORLD.
MAY HE ROT IN .
>> AN EMOTIONAL DAY IN DOWNTOWN
SACRAMENTO.
>> I'M LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE
SACRAMENTO COUNTY COURTHOUSE
TONIGHT. TURNING TO OUR TOP
STORY, WE ARE FOLLOWING

D'ANGELO TONIGHT.
TODAY WAS THE FIRST OF THREE
DAYS FOR THIS VICTIM IMPACT

THE EMOTIONAL DAY, THIS DAY
REALLY IS FOR THE VICTIMS AND
SURVIVORS OF THIS CASE, THIS
EXTENSIVE CASE THAT IS FROM
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA.
LET'S GO TO MANDY GOMEZ WHO HAS
MORE FROM INSIDE THE COURTROOM
TODAY TOOK THE EMOTIONAL
MOMENTS THAT PLAYED OUT.
>> Reporter: EMOTIONAL AND
POWERFUL INDIA, THE SURVIVORS
AND VICTIMS FAMILIES GETTING
THE DAY IN COURT. AND TO SPEAK
DIRECTLY TO D'ANGELO, CALLING
HIM REPULSIVE, A MONSTER AND A
COWARD, NOT DURING THE ENTIRE
TIME, THE CONVICTED KILLER AND
TREND -- RAPIST STOOD STOIC.
>> EARLY ON THE MORNING IN
1976.
>> Reporter: THIS IS A MOMENT
SURVIVORS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
TO FACE WHAT MANY CALL.
EVIL.
YOU FEEL ANY REMORSE FOR WHAT
YOU DID TO ME?
YOU TIED ME UP, THREATENED MY
LIFE WITH A NIGHT AND RAPED ME.
>> SOME PEOPLE ARE WIRED WRONG.
>> Reporter: ONE BY ONE, THE
SURVIVORS AND VICTIMS FAMILIES
STEPPED UP TO THE PODIUM TO
GIVE THEIR IMPACT STATEMENT.
>> LOOK AT HER FACE.
BE A MAN, FOR ONCE IN YOUR
LIFE, BE A MAN.
LOOK AT HER.
>> Reporter: MULTIPLE SURVIVORS
DETAILING HOW THEY ENDURED RAPE
AND TORTURE FOR HOURS BEFORE HE
MADE HIS GIVEAWAY BUT NOT
BEFORE TAKING OFF WITH
VALUABLES.
>> HE MADE HIMSELF AT HOME IN
MY HOME AND STOLE MY FAMILY'S
PERSONAL BELONGINGS AS I LAY
HELPLESS.
>> Reporter: THEY TALKED ABOUT
HOW THE BRUTAL ENCOUNTERS ARE
THE VICTIMS AND EVERYONE AROUND
THEM.
>> I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TALK
ABOUT BEING RAPED OR TO GET
HELP OR TO HEAL, I WAS FORCED
TO LIVE MY LIFE LIKE THE RAPE
NEVER HAPPENED.
>> Reporter: SOME EVEN CALLING
HIS FAMILY THE LAST VICTIMS.
THE MOST POWERFUL MOMENT CAME
WHEN THE SURVIVORS SPOKE
DIRECTLY TO D'ANGELO.
>> THIS IS FOR ME, NOT FOR YOU.
MY LORD AND SAVIOR TAUGHT ME
THIS.
TODAY IS FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER,
BECAUSE I WANT TO TEACH HER TO
BE BRAVE AND STRONG.
AND IT IS FOR MY FAMILY AND
FRIENDS.
>> Reporter: MANY OF THE FAMILY
MEMBERS ASKING FOR D'ANGELO TO
BE SENT TO THE WAS PRESENT IN
THE COUNTRY.
OTHERS SAYING THE ONLY READING
MATERIAL HE SHOULD BE ALLOWED
TO HAVE HIS VICTIMS IMPACT
STATEMENT.
NOW HE WILL BE SENTENCED AT THE
END OF THIS WEEK.
>> THINK YOU.
AS YOU HEARD, THE SURVIVORS DID
NOT HOLD BACK TODAY.
WE SPOKE WITH ONE OF THEM, WHO
WE HAVE TALKED TO BEFORE ON ABC
10.
SHE IS SO STRONG.
AND TODAY, SHE STOOD UP AND
TALKED DIRECTLY TO D'ANGELO.
RIGHT NEXT TO HER WAS THE
FORMER INVESTIGATOR ON THE
CASE, CAROL BAILEY.
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY.
>> I'M NOT GOING TO WALK AROUND
IF YOU LIKE THIS, I WILL BE
CAREFUL, BUT I AM NOT GOING TO
LET HIM TAKE UP ANY MORE TIME
IN MY SPACE.
BUT, AS YOU HAVE HEARD THIS
MORNING, WE LOOK FINE, BUT THE
SCARS HAVE NEVER HEALED.
AND LIKE I SAID, I HAVE HAD
FIVE GERMAN SHEPHERDS TO FEEL
SAFE, I NEVER LIVED IN A HOUSE
BY MYSELF, EITHER I HAD A
HUSBAND, A ROOMMATE, OR MY
CHILDREN.
AND I DON'T NEED ANY MORE
EXCITEMENT.
THIS IS ABOUT AS MUCH AS I CAN
TAKE.
>> I THINK TIME AND TIME AGAIN,
THE PAIN AND THE LACK OF CONTROL
, AND HOW IT AFFECTED THEIR
WHOLE LIVES, I KNEW THAT,
BECAUSE I TALKED TO SO MANY.
BUT, LISTENING TO THEM DESCRIBE
IT AGAIN IN COURT, AND HE WILL
HEAR IT AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON
AND YOU'LL HEAR IT TOMORROW.
IT IS KIND OF GUTWRENCHING.
BUT, THE POSITIVE THING IS THAT
SO MANY OF THEM ARE MOVING
FORWARD NOW.
AND THEY HAVE BROUGHT CLOSER,
THE SCARS ARE THERE, BUT IT HAS
BROUGHT CLOSER TO SO MANY OF
THEM AND THAT IS THE THING I
REALLY LIKE TO TAKE AWAY FROM
IT.
>> THE SEARCH FOR THE SUSPECT,
ALSO THIS MOMENT OF HIM BEING
SENTENCED LATER THIS WEEK HAS
BEEN DECADES IN THE MAKING.
PAUL HOLES REAL -- ON THE LIST
OF SUSPECT.
HE DECIDED TO DRIVE TO THE HOME
IN CITRUS HEIGHTS, HE PARKED
AND ALMOST WENT UP TO THE DOOR.
>> I WANT TO DISSOLVE THIS CASE
BEFORE I RETIRED.
I DIDN'T DO THAT, BUT AT LEAST
I GOT TO WITHIN 50 FEET OF THE
GUY WAS LOOKING FOR BEFORE I
RETIRED.
I TOOK SOME SATISFACTION IN
THAT.
OBVIOUSLY, IN HINDSIGHT, IF I
HAD GONE UP TO THAT FRONT DOOR,
I RECOGNIZE THAT COULD'VE BEEN
A VERY BAD SITUATION.
>> HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT
D'ANGELO WOULD HAVE DONE.
HE COULD HAVE HURT HIMSELF, HIS
FAMILY, HE COULD HAVE HURT PAUL
HOLES TO.
HE IS VERY GRATEFUL HE DID NOT
LOCK ON THE DOOR, BUT HE TALKS
MORE EXTENSIVELY WITH ME ABOUT
THIS CASE AND THE DECADES LONG
SEARCH FOR JOSEPH D'ANGELO WHO
WILL BE SENTENCED LATER THIS
