Where is Joseph Naso now ahead of Death Row Confidential: Secrets of a Serial Killer?

Naso was sentenced to death in 2013 after a Marin County jury convicted him of four murders. Reports at the time also noted that executions in California remained paused, which meant a death sentence resulted in long-term confinement rather than an active execution timeline.

According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s inmate locator, he is currently housed at the California Health Care Facility in Stockton.

The case record behind Death Row Confidential: Secrets of a Serial Killer

The case accelerated after a 2010 probation search of Naso’s Reno home. Investigators found thousands of photographs of women, a handwritten “List of 10,” and a safe deposit box key that led to IDs, clippings, and images tied to victims.

Prosecutors later cited diary entries describing assaults as part of their court presentation. The jury returned guilty verdicts in 2013 for the killings of Roxene Roggasch, Carmen Colon, Pamela Parsons, and Tracy Tafoya. As reported by BBC News (November 2013).

A new thread emerged from inside San Quentin. ABC7 reported that inmate William A. Noguera spent years speaking with Naso and compiled more than 300 pages of notes, relayed to retired detective Ken Mains. Those notes include an alleged claim that the true victim count was 26, well beyond the four murders charged. According to ABC7, these assertions remain under review and form a core part of the series.
