<div>Prosecutors agreed Wednesday to review a decades-old murder investigation after an attorney said she detected similarities to attacks by a notorious California serial killer, Joseph DeAngelo, aka &#8216;The Golden State Killer&#8217;, and not William Evins, the man who was eventually convicted in the case.</div>

Authorities in Northern California arrested 72-year-old former police officer Joseph DeAngelo last April and said they believed he was the killer who had long proved elusive to authorities.<br />
DeAngelo is charged with 12 killings throughout the state in the 1970s and 1980s, including one in Orange County in 1980. He has yet to enter a plea.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">As a teen, Della Donna said she was the victim of an abduction attempt and years later saw a sketch of the Golden State Killer suspect that she thought resembled her attacker.<br />
&#8216;As an innocence attorney, my little red flags went up,&#8217; she said. &#8216;Way too many discrepancies in terms of lack of evidence against him. &#8230; It was just way too suspicious not to look into it.&#8217;<br />
She started probing rape and murder cases that had occurred nearby and came across Evins&#8217; case, she said.<br />
She said she lived six blocks away from 28-year-old victim Joan Anderson and the way Anderson was killed bears similarities to cases involving the serial killer.<br />
She also said Evins, who died in 2013, pled guilty after a jailhouse informant said he had confessed to the crime.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;He claims to have overheard &#8230; five different people confess to five different murders. Totally unheard of.<br />
In profiling the Golden State Killer for ABC News, Kelly said what was most striking was the suspect&#8217;s methodical planning and sheer brazenness.<br />
&#8216;He cut blinds from houses and used as ligatures&#8230; . Most of the Southern California murders he bound his victims but then take the ligatures with him. That was actually a departure from his MO in Northern California where he would keep people tied up,&#8217; said Kelly.<br />

After years of research and interviewing those closest to Anderson, along with Elvin&#8217;s ex-wife and daughter, Della Donna said she&#8217;s near certain that police arrested the wrong man.<br />
&#8216;It&#8217;s their responsibility now to find if there is any DNA [from Anderson&#8217;s case] and test it,&#8217; Della Donna said of Orange County law enforcement officials .<br />
&#8216;If there is no DNA then we&#8217;re going to look at this case as filing a posthumously writ of habeas corpus to have Evins declared innocent.&#8217;</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Clifton was 35 at the time he was arrested for kidnapping after authorities found an invoice book that they believed to belong to the carpenter &#8211; based on the name written inside.<br />
Hours after his arrest, the young girl was discovered by another resident. Richmond was stabbed and strangled and was not wearing pants or underwear at the time she was found dead.<br />
There has been speculation about who killed Richmond after the 72-year-old accused Golden State Killer was found to have worked in Exeter as a police officer during the time Richmond&#8217;s death.<br />
The city is also located in Tulare County &#8211; where several of the crimes that DeAngelo is accused of committing took place.</p>
