The "Serial" podcast, launched in October 2014 by Sarah Koenig, was downloaded over 340 million times and single-handedly popularized the true crime podcast genre, while also leading to the reopening of Adnan Syed's murder case and his eventual release in 2022. The Golden State Killer, Joseph James DeAngelo, was identified in 2018 through genetic genealogy — investigators uploaded crime scene DNA to the public database GEDmatch and traced family trees to narrow suspects, pioneering a technique now used in hundreds of cold cases. The FBI estimates there are 25-50 active serial killers in the U.S. at any given time, though the overall number has declined significantly since peaking in the 1980s, with improved forensic technology and surveillance making it harder for serial offenders to evade detection.
