PICTURED: Bloodied mugshot of former cop, 72, arrested and named by police as the Golden State Killer who murdered 12 and raped 51 over a decade-long reign of terror from the 1970s after DNA links him to four of the killings 40 YEARS on
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department arrested Joseph James DeAngelo Jr, 72, late Tuesday night
DeAngelo is believed to be the Golden State Killer, a serial rapist and murderer suspected of 12 homicides and nearly 50 rapes in Sacramento County in the 1970s and 80s
DeAngelo is being held at the Sacramento County Main jail on two murder charges and is ineligible for bail
The arrest comes months after the release of journalist and author Michelle McNamara's posthumous crime book about the Golden State Killer titled I'll Be Gone In The Dark
The book, released in February, was co-authored by McNamara's husband, actor Patton Oswalt, and fellow journalist Billy Jensen after McNamara's death in 2016
DeAngelo is believed to have been fired from the Auburn Police Department in 1979 for shoplifting a hammer
The Golden State Killer is suspected of terrorizing southern California between 1976 and 1986
It's believed his first murder victims were Brian Maggiore and his wife Katie who were chased down and killed while walking their dog in their Rancho Cordova neighborhood on February 2, 1978
The FBI believe his last crime was committed in May 1986, with the murder of an 18-year-old girl in Irvine
Jane Carson-Sandler, who survived an October 1976 rape attack and was the Golden State Killer's fifth victim, said she was 'overwhelmed with joy' over his possible arrest
