Wesley Brownlee, the Oakland man now accused of killing seven people in Stockton and the East Bay, could be added — if convicted — to the Golden State's long line of serial murderers if convicted. Here's a look back at notorious serial killers who have been caught in Northern California: The man known as the Golden State Killer started terrorizing California in the 1970s. He began as a burglar in the Central Valley city of Visalia.
