The Stanford Predator: John Getreu and the Cold Cases Solved by DNA

For nearly fifty years, two cold cases haunted the Stanford
community.

In 1973 and 1974, 21-year-olds Leslie Perlov and Janet Taylor
were brutally murdered near the university campus. Both were
strangled. Both cases went unsolved—until modern forensic
genealogy exposed a killer hiding in plain sight.

John Arthur Getreu seemed like an ordinary man. A community
volunteer. A Scout leader. A father and husband. But beneath the
surface, he was a serial predator with a dark history stretching
back to 1963, when he raped and murdered a teenage girl in West
Germany while still in high school.

We unpack the chilling life of John Getreu—from his early crimes
abroad to the murders he committed on American soil. We follow
the women whose lives he stole, the families left searching for
answers, and the decades-long silence shattered by a single
strand of DNA.

This is a story of justice delayed, but not denied. Of women
remembered, and secrets finally brought to light.
