On April 25, 2018, Californian authorities arrested Joseph James DeAngelo as the alleged Golden State Killer.[26][27] Oswalt stated that authorities' use of the killer's name that McNamara coined was "proof of the impact of her work."[28] McNamara's coining of the Golden State Killer moniker credited as heightening awareness of the uncaught killer that operated throughout California.[29]
