Patton Oswalt Marks 10 Years Since Michelle McNamara’s Death as Meredith Salenger Voices Support

The posts showed how a new partner can support public mourning.

Overview

  • Oswalt, who marked the 10-year anniversary Tuesday with an Instagram photo, wrote, “Ten years gone. Miss you, baby.”
  • Salenger replied on Instagram praising McNamara as smart, brave, and beloved, and said she loves Oswalt and his daughter Alice.
  • After a user suggested the tribute might be tough for her, Salenger wrote on Threads that her heart aches for Oswalt and Alice and that such sadness never fully fades.
  • Oswalt reposted Salenger’s note, saying she elevates empathy, has guided him and Alice back into the world, and that he is grateful to have found love twice.
  • McNamara, a true-crime journalist who coined “Golden State Killer,” had her unfinished book published in 2018 and later adapted by HBO, and police identified and arrested ex-officer Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. that April.
