Patton Oswalt's character in season 4 is an avid amateur investigator of cold case murders. In his real life, Patton Oswalt is the widower of Michelle McNamara, a true crime writer and a lay investigator who coined the epithet for the California serial burglar, rapist, and murderer known as the Golden State Killer. McNamara died in April 2016, but her research into the crimes helped draw new attention to the cases, and partly led to the June 2016 announcement of a new FBI reward and the April 2018 arrest of Joseph James DeAngelo. DeAngelo's identification was also partly made possible because of a match between DNA evidence from some of the crimes and genealogical information from a publicly accessible, commercial genomics website. When McNamara died, she had nearly finished writing a book about her Golden State Killer investigation titled I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer. The book was posthumously completed by several other true crime writers along with Oswalt, and was published in 2018.
