You think you know Paul Holes, but do you really? And for the 14 of you wondering “Who is Paul Holes?” Welcome to the bright side.

Paul Holes is an American former cold-case investigator for the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office. Holes is known for his contributions to solving the Golden State Killer case using advanced methods of identifying the killer with DNA and genealogy technology. He is also inspired the true crime/pop culture hashtag: #hotforHoles

For our final true crime book interview (this season), I spoke with Paul Holes about his new memoir, UNMASKED.

This book reveals an even deeper look into Paul’s illustrious career— which so many of us followed, especially his role in taking down the Golden State Killer. But the book also offers a vulnerable look into Paul’s professional success, and how it often came at the expense of his personal life.
