Sharon Marie Huddle: Life story of the Golden State Killer's ex-wife

She was married to her husband for more than 40 years and even welcomed three children. She did not know that her husband was a serial killer who had killed and raped a dozen people in that period. When it was time for her to face the press after her husband pleaded guilty to 26 charges in a raping and killing spree, she only asked for privacy and that of her children. That was the last time Sharon Marie Huddle talked about her ex-husband’s behaviour.

Sharon Marie Huddle is an American family law attorney. She is best known as the ex-wife of the Golden State Killer, Joseph James DeAngelo. Apart from being associated with a serial killer, Sharon co-founded a surrogacy advocacy organisation.

The mission of the organisation was to protect the rights of surrogate women. After her husband admitted to being a serial killer, Sharon hid from the public space and resurfaced over two years later. So, what is her story?

Although their names remain unknown, one of Golden State Killer's children is an Emergency Room doctor in the Midwest, and one is a PhD candidate at an unnamed university. Before their father’s arrest, Sharon’s daughters were on social media. However, they deleted their posts and chose to protect themselves from the sins of their father.
