Welcome to very scary people. Im donnie wahlberg. Some Crime Experts call the 1980s the decade of the Serial Killer. According to at least one study, there were about 200 of these murderers on the loose during that time. But one man stood out. His crimes were random and vicious. His victims ranged from toddlers to the elderly. The citizens of los angeles were paralyzed with fear while police struggled to stop him. His name was richard ramirez, and he was the night stalker. Man it happened in this Apartment Building in a groundfloor unit. Yochelson Jennie Vincow was a 79yearold lady living alone in an apartment in northwest los angeles. Jordan she had just turned off the light in her apartment, and because it was the peak of summer, she left the window open. Jennie vincows asleep in her bed, very vulnerable. Jordan while she slept, a shadow appeared at the window, and it was the outline of a man. And then he opened the window further and crept inside. He was looking for items to steal.
maria: i can tell you dark clothes, dark-color hair. the first police composite drawing of the killer came from the memory of maria hernandez. martin: it was the first sketch of this attacker that was made. as it turned out, the first of many. she described her assailant as a tall, skinny man. with a thin face and, most notably, dead eyes. dead eyes in my mind means that they are very fixed, not a lot of movement to them, have that perception that they re looking right through you. from a law enforcement standpoint, when you receive a description like that, your hopes is that it will lead to something productive, specifically the arrest of the shooter in this case. jordan: police began checking cars and questioning any lone males that were seen loitering in the area. but there was no new information.
