Notorious Golden State Killer’s Wife Breaks Silence “He Said He Was Going Pheasant Hunting”

The wife of the man known for a spree of terror in California is finally breaking her silence as she addresses the court prior to her murderous ex-husband’s sentencing.

The Golden State Killer’s wife, Sharon Huddle, was married to him for 46 years and claims she knew nothing, adding that he told her he was going pheasant hunting, to work, or to visit his parents. The former police officer spent his days murdering and raping women across the state.

They had been married since 1973 and separated in 2018, before he was arrested in 2018. They have three children. The victim’s believe she had some sort of idea that he committed numerous murders and rapes over a decade span.

“The defendant’s criminal actions have had a devastating and pervasive affect on my life and my family,” she wrote. “I will never be the same person. I now live everyday with the knowledge of how he attacked and severely damaged hundreds of innocent people’s lives and murdered 13 innocent people who were loved and have now been missed for 40 years or more.”

“I trusted the defendant when he told me he had to go to work, or was going pheasant hunting, or going to visit his parents hundreds of miles away,” she wrote. “I worked graveyard shifts at Jack in the Box fast food restaurants and at Placer County Juvenile Hall. At times I studied late into the night at my law school. When I was not around I trusted he was doing what he told me he was doing.”

“Simple everyday experiences such as a car moving from one lane into another lane behind your car can bring fear to me,” she said.

She talks about a time in Trader Joe’s when someone touched her forearm.

“My heart began to race and my body jolted,” Huddle added. “I was terrified that I was about to be harmed, when in reality someone I knew just wanted to say hello to me. I have lost my ability to trust people.”

She concluded her letter by adding, “I wish that nothing I say here will detract from any other person’s impact statement.”

Joseph DeAngelo previously made a plea deal that took the death penalty off the table. He will be sentenced Friday.
