Oswalt posted a brief video to Instagram, saying: "I think you got him, Michelle."[42] He also posted on Twitter that same day, saying that he hoped to visit the suspect if he was indeed the Golden State Killer, "not to gloat or gawk - to ask him the questions that [McNamara] wanted answered in her 'Letter To An Old Man'" at the end of her book.[43]
He was confirmed to be engaged to actress Meredith Salenger in July 2017.[44] They were married in November 2017.[45][46]
