McNamara, who published the website True Crime Diary , was long fascinated by the unsolved case, dubbed the suspect the "Golden State Killer" and investigated it on her own. The serial killer and rapist was also the subject of an HLN original series, "Unmasking a Killer," which aired from March to mid-April. But readers of her book praised McNamara's legacy and her role in helping victims of these decades-old crimes possibly find peace. Many posted screenshots of an excerpt from the book in which McNamara addresses the killer directly, assuring him that he would be found. Oswalt will appear on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" Wednesday night to discuss DeAngelo's arrest and his former wife's investigation.
