I had no idea until well after this press.
That he had it.
I had no idea.
I didn't know any of those. I never saw it.
About 100% certain that
engagement ring you gave.
Did you think he was doing?
I don't think so.
We were together.
I parted with him. I never saw after
the night that you tried to force.
I never saw him again. I was 48 years
until his arrest and now it's been.
He had a gun pointed at you and ask
you to marry him, but you said no,
I still will you feel fearful,
alive, or did you think that he will?
But now I know.
I'll never understand knowing how
capable he wasn't breaking into homes.
Why he wasn't standing beside
my bed with a gun?
Why was he outside?
My entire family except an
older brother away at college.
My entire family was asleep in the
farmhouse in the middle of nowhere,
and here he was.
So you saw him in court today.
I have no. Emotions when you saw him.
Did you see him looking
at you all? I don't think
he never looked forward,
but I said I didn't see any reaction
because you were introduced by the lady that.
So he said Bonnie was he is here.
So what was the feeling when
you saw him sitting there?
I call rubbish on this whole act.
Sitting there unable to open his
eyes and close his mouth, right?
I think he's been acting. For the
last 60 years of his life. Trying
to be a normal person trying to.
Someone that blends into the community
when he's been in criminal law.
What's what's a few more days of acting?
Are you angry with him? You feel anger
or I just feel completely disconnected and
he can go right back into obscurity for me?
This will be over in just a couple of days.
I would have wished the death penalty. I
regret nothing about his
spending the rest of his
life. I've become friends
with many of the victims.
Thousands of survivors.
In there. Getting to know them.
Be considered basically.
Missed and then who missed?
The possibility of being shot before
any of these other crimes occurred.
I'm sort of. I'm the bookends to this event.
These events I will I knew him before.
Any of these crimes were committed,
and since then my life has been dumped
upside down because he knows my name. My
privacy is gone. My blog is down. It's
been sold on Amazon as an ebook.
For some, somebody who copied
it and try to market it on on.
EBay. No. Amazon as an ebook.
But I never knew how fragile
my privacy was until he used my
name. I never followed this case.
I didn't know about Michelle Mccormick's
book. I didn't know I didn't know how
involved I would end up being because.
A lot of in said that he said
I hate you Bonnie, and so that
really tie due to onto some of his
clients so you don't feel anything
that it was a responsibility or
I think he's trying to throw
the responsibility elsewhere
and it lands squarely on him.
That he's a crazy man,
and I apparently he's been crazy for many,
many years and I don't carry the
responsibility of his crimes.
Those are his choices in his actions.
Fortunately for me, the women who
were his victims feel the same
way. How shocked were you when you
know that this Golden State killer?
Person is somebody you knew
somebody you were engaged. I was
I would say it was just
packing to leave Italy.
All of a sudden I get a phone
call from the District Attorney.
To let me know I was,
thank goodness that they thought to
inform me before I walked home into
all the press waiting for me at my.
So I couldn't have been more surprised.
Bonnie, did Jane capture everything that you
wanted to say in
there today? I actually I wrote an
impact statement not knowing that I have
no legal standing to deliver 1. So.
You want to read us your impact statement.
I don't know. I don't have it with OK,
but you know, I I totally understand.
That I'm not a victim of the
crimes that he has pled guilty to.
And I don't have standing in this
courtroom to say anything, but were you
surprised that you're not a victim
that didn't come back to get you?
It's something that I've
thought about I have.
I have heard implications from some
of the investigators that he is
always stocked me that he always
knew where I lived where we worked.
And I don't know. I don't have definitive.
No one has confirmed that to me,
but they have all they have.
Alluded to an ask Me for lists of
everywhere that I've ever lived or worked.
Which makes me wonder if he hadn't
indeed always know where I was.
On the other hand,
I never even Googled his name.
I was done with him.
I didn't care where he
lived or where he worked.
I was just
moving on with my life.
And you basically have a normal
wonderful life after that.
I've been a volunteer very
involved in nonprofits here
in Sacramento all of my life.
With the Sacramento Crisis
Nursery with the children,
some wards with the UC Davis
Medical Center. I've been.
Very involved with children's issues.
I was a director of the Toddler
Immunization Coalition many years ago.
Just going on with my life and my
family and our activities here. I've
always lived in Sacramento
since I'm great. Thank you.
You said you would have added, Jane said.
I think. Gay's
husband, Robert this morning,
with his fantasy sentence.
There's a little bit of that
in my in the statement that I
wrote that I know he's going to
be in protective custody and
never in the general population of a prison.
An A little karma would go a long way
as far as I'm concerned, that to have
him have the fear of being attacked.
The way he attacked these other women I.
That's not a Christian thought to hold
in my head, but nevertheless, it's
a thought that I hold that I'm not
sure. That I would feel sorry if I
found out that he had also been attacked
the way he attacked other women.
Is there a question in your
mind that you don't have an answer to that?
That is something you want an answer to.
I think all of us would like to
understand how he was able to do
this under the with with a wife
at home with children at home.
How was he able to be?
Putting people under surveillance to
understand their schedules to know
when other people would come and go.
How was he able to do that
without extensive hours?
Of watching these people's homes and if so?
Where did his family think he was?
Where had he been all of that one
more question for him to do something,
then something psychologically
wrong with this person.
And you never notice that when you were
dating him, I began.
I was only 18 when we began
dating and 19 one when I ended it.
But as as I continued with him,
and began to realize that basically I was
in an abusive relationship and he was,
he was pushing me to fear and
discomfort over and over again.
And that wasn't how I wanted my future to be.
At the apex came when he asked
me to help cheat on the exam.
And and that was a boundary he
couldn't push me over, and that,
and so I ended our relationship then, but.
I was coming to understand that this this is.
This is not where I want to
be for the rest of my life.
I was already there.
For all of the many little things
that poaching the and often,
I was along with him and I had
no idea that that's what we're
setting up to go do today so.
Although I.
Didn't usually actively participate,
I was there and I had been brought
there by him and I was just crap.
Crossing all of my own boundaries
and I've not had enough.
So. News can use it. 2020 Magazine
cannot lose it. Alright, I am
bound by contract with HBO.
OK, thank you. Thank you.
Did we get it?
OK thanks.
Thank you bye. I can't.
El.
I've gotten very stubborn.
Tell me your.
Right here. Thank you, thank you.
Oh
you're walking.
