Some Crime Experts call the 1980s the decade of the Serial Killer. According to at le ast one stud welcome to very people. Some Crime Experts called the 80s the decade of the Serial Killer, one study showed there were about 200 of these on the loose. One man stood out, his of the dems ranged from toddlers to the elderly. The citizens of la were paralyzed with fear. His name was Richard Ramirez and he was the night stalker. St building in a groundfloor unit. Yochelson Jennie Vincow was a 79yearold lady living alone it happened in this Apartment Building in a ground floor unit. Jenny was a 79yearold living alone in a apartment in northwest la. She just turned out the light in her apartment and because it was summer she left the window open. Jenny was asleep in her bed. Very vulnerable. While she slept, a shadow appeared at the window. It was the outline of a man. Then he opened the window further and crept inside. He was looking for items to steal. He would look for things of higher value, jewelry. There was little of value in the home. After he ransacked the house he approaches the sleeping jenny armed with a knife. The next afternoon, jennys son came to Jennie Vinthe apar visit his mother. The victim, 79yearold jenny, her throat had been slashed. It appears the suspect got into a open window. He found her horribly mutilated, then called the police. A horrible thing for him. She was abused. Jenny had been stabbed repeatedly and was nearly decapitated. Investigators stated this was one of the most brutal slayings they had ever seen. There are so many reasons for brutally stabbing a person to death, one of the possibilities is a intense personal relationship. Another possibility is that this is someone who hates women or elderly women and she is killed in this way because of the hatred toward whatever she symbolizes. On the window screen, police found a fingerprint. The only clue was the fingerprint found on the screen. It appeared to have come from the killer. Because they could not get a immediate make on it, it was filed away. Mary was 58, and christine was 71. Two sisters, mary and christina are both living together. Mary was 58 and christine was 71. The house was ransacked. I think it might have been viewed initially as a burglary that went bad and the ladies woke up. I did respond to the homicide scene. The sisters were killed by multiple knife wounds. There was not a lot of leads at the time. It was just another murder. A double murder. At the time it was not tied to any other homicide. There were no suspects and the case went cold. It would be a long time before this fell into place. In the beginning it was a isolated order here and there but then that summer it was constant.

Tum, tum tum tum, tums by early 1985, three elderly women had been brutally stabbed to death, but both in southern and Northern California, byeall early 85 three elder women had been brutally stabbed to death both in southern and Northern California so there is no way police can make a connection between the crimes, what they do not know is that a Killing Spree has just begun. From rosemead, california. Linedecker at about 11 30 p. M. , a young woman named maria it was a night of terror for a young woman from rosemead, california. At 1130, a young woman named maria was parking her car in a garage. As she drove in a killer slipped in behind her. This time he had a gun. She got out of the car and a figure appeared out of the darkness. She turned to see a man pointing a gun at her. He did not utter a word but started moving toward her, she raised her hands to protect her face, he fired and the bullet hit the car keys in her hand. She said she felt a mixture of pain and heat. She fell to the ground and pretended to be dead. He left to go inside the house and left her on the concrete floor bleeding. The suspect makes his way into the condo where he encounters a 34yearold man. Maria heard another shot from inside the townhouse. After that she ran into the street and hid behind the car, the man came out of the building and he spotted her and once again he pointed his gun at her. She said do not kill me and inexplicably he turned and shoved his gun into his belt and left just like that. She went inside and found her roommate dale, dead. A gunshot to the head. Later when the police were searching the area, they found a baseball cap on the ground which was the first clue they had come across. It was a baseball cap with the words ac dc on the front. Thought to have been left by the killer. More important than the hat, with maria we have a witness to the crime and she came face to face with the suspect. Dark clothes, dark hair. The first composite drawing of the killer came from the memory of maria. It was the first sketch of this attacker, the first of many. She described him as a tall skinny man with a thin face and most notably, dead eyes. In my mind it means they are very fixed. Not a lot of movement. They have the perception of them looking right through you. When you receive a description like that your hope is that it leads to something productive. Specifically the arrest of the shooter in this case. Police began checking cars and questioning any loan males seen loitering in the area but there was no new information. While they have this great clue, they also know the clock is running. Later that night while they were investigating the break in the got another call that a young woman had been attacked. These were not in the same jurisdiction. So police were not able to make the connection. She was a 30yearold law student, a emigrant from taiwan. She was parking her car on the street. A man parked behind her and jumped out of his car and tried to drag her into his car and shot her and then left the location. When police arrived, they found her on the concrete next to her car. She had been shot multiple times, a terrible scene in the middle of the night. Officers called for a ambulance but by the time it arrived, it was too late. She had died. They found one of her shoes in the car. The other one was lying next to her body. It is not the most adaptive way to commit crimes, without forethought. That suggests something is not functioning well about his ability to plan and execute things. Detectives are going to need a lot of evidence to catch this guy and it will not be long before the entire Community Knows about these horrific crimes. Loss angeles was like any big city. All over the city they had murders, occurring on a daily and nightly basis, this time the murders were in suburbs, in areas that were generally considered safe. People did not even lock their houses. H agency the Sheriffs Department was investigating the murders and the Monterey Park detectives were investigating the other murders. After the autopsies of both victims, they realized the bullets removed from both victims were fired from the same weapon so now the two murders are connected. Everybody was terrified. It was random. The killer leaves a pentagram. It is just evil. It was just a summer of terror. Ill always take care of you. Im gonna hold you forever. Be by your side. Ill be there. Its started. Its. The side hug.

We have one witness who describes the assailant the quiet la suburbs have been shaken by these shootings that happen within one hour of each other. We have one witness that describes the assailant as a tall, thin darkhaired man. Is it enough of a description for police to stop him before he attacks again . He was looking for a Point Of Entry that would be simple. Looking at open doors and windows. It was about 10 days before another attack occurred. 44yearold maxine, a Italian Restaurant owner, was enjoying a quiet night at home. When the killer quietly forced entry into their home through a window. The following morning their son peter came over to visit the parents. As he is approaching the house he sees the front door is open. Peter found both of his parents when he made his way through the front door. What happened . It is just pure evil. He broke in through a window. He was found on the couch in The Living Room with a single Gunshot Wound in the head. She was found in her bedroom shot to death. After the shooting he took the time to butcher maxine. She was sexually assaulted. Her eyes had been gouged out. Even though detectives had to have nightmares after they looked at the body of the woman. Is this person paranoid . People that are paranoid do not like others looking at them. They have a thing about eyes. It was the first of what became a pattern where a perpetrator would invade a house, dispatch the mail, sexually assault the wife and then either kill her or not. Doses done by somebody that sees the man as more of a threat so the man is killed first and that is done cleanly. Then he has more time to take with a woman. When Law Enforcement arrives at the crime scene, they discover a 45 caliber handgun and a bullet. Was also significant about the scene, there was a bucket found upside down with a shoe print on it. The print was unusual. It turned out to be a aerobic shoe, size 10 1 2 or 11. Detectives questioned family, Business Associates and neighbors but found no suspects. It is almost unimaginable. The investigators had to know this was going to happen again because this was a homicidal maniac. You have to wonder about the kind of mind and motivation. Ricardo ramirez was born in 1960 in texas. To a working class mexican family. Like many border areas, el paso is generally a poor area. His mother worked for a boot factory and his father worked for the railroad. We met when he was five, his dad and my mother went to school together. Richard was the youngest of five kids. I met ricky in the second grade. He was a normal kid. We would all hang around and play baseball like normal kids. Activities like swimming, having gettogethers. He was brought up catholic. He told me he was not into being a altar boy but he did it for his mom. Those who knew richard growing up have different recollections of him. When we interviewed people, people said he was a petty thief. They used to call him fingers because they did not want to leave anything around he could pick up with his fingers and he did not have a great reputation. Lying in bed with his 64yearold wife, lillian. A number of weeks pass and there is another attack in Monterey Park. Bill, 66 years old lying in bed with his 64yearold wife. It was the dead of night and the couple was sleeping and the guy snuck into the house. The two main explanations for going into a home where one does not know what to expect is first, feeling come confident that you can overcome any obstacle or not carrying one way or another if he lives or dies. William was shot in the head with a small caliber gun. He was actually able to get on the phone and call 911 so it was not a immediate death. His elderly wife was restrained and sexually assaulted. The killer leaves a pentagram and then proceeds to ransack the house and take valuables out of the home and leave. Ultimately bill perished at the hospital. Although beaten and sexually assaulted, lillian managed to survive the attack. She was able to provide Law Enforcement with a description of the attacker. One of the distinctions that emerged were descriptions of bad teeth. Dark brown stains and discoloration. Also bad breath. At that point police were not linking the crimes publicly. We do not know what the links would be but we will check with the investigators from all of the surrounding agencies to see if they have cases similar to ours. At some point you realize they are all connected. Five murders and three sexual attacks in eight weeks. It was the summer of terror. I am nervous for my family and friends and neighbors. You were afraid to pick up the newspaper in the morning because he was killing so rapidly. It is hot in the summer and you want to leave your window open but not let anybody get in as well. He had no particular type he was targeting. He was targeting everybody. He killed the men, women and children in every part of the city. He used almost every implement that you can use, guns, knives and telephone cords. The fact that he kills with many different weapons and the fact that he kills some and not others, makes one focused on the possibility that the killer is under the influence of a drug war has some impairment of his own. There was a random frenzied quality to his crimes. He shot many of his victims in the face. That is not a common place to shoot people. I am scared. I could hardly sleep.

July 1985 was one of the hottest summers los angeles had seen in a century. Above 100 de Grees Welcome Backday af tw people. 1985 was one of the hottest summers la has seen in a century. Temperatures were above 100 day after day. Terrified residents were not sleeping with windows open, a killer was on the loose in the public was terrified, there were calling on police to do something. The police had no leads and the night stalker just seem to be getting started. There was nobody that felt safe. In my lifetime there had been nothing like it. Everybody was so uniquely aware of this crazed killer on the streets and nobody had a clue of who it was or why he was doing what he was doing. We are trying to get the information out to the public to lock doors and windows and use lighting. This is information we put out all the time not just when there was a killer on the loose. The media had a lot of names for him, the local called him the walking killer. Another name stuck. Night stalker was the one that ultimately caught on and remains to this day. This meeting was the third in the past month. Investigators said that tip from the public may be the key to breaking the case. That is becoming more important as the investigation goes nowhere. Police started putting together a profile. We are doing everything within our resources to protect our community and apprehend the suspect. You look at the type of residence physical evidence and then you look at the victim ologies. It was difficult to profile what was going on. At the end of the day it was crimes of opportunity, where ever he could find a open window. The killer had a insatiable appetite, not just for blood lust but also sexual torment. Serial killers tend to be extreme sexual psychopaths that derive their depraved pleasures from torturing and murdering helpless victims. The night stalker fits that profile. With virtually no pattern to the crimes, police went back to the descriptions that the survivors had given them. When the descriptions of the bad teeth emerged Law Enforcement would be thinking about habitual drug users. There was a hint that the night stalker may have worshiped satan. People were afraid of satanist. If the goal is to terrorize the community, that is a good choice. It does not have to be for the effect on others, it could be because he is claiming a identity for himself. From the moment i laid eyes on him i perceived him as a frightening person. My understanding was that part of his childhood, specifically when he was a teenager, had to deal with the cousin, a vietnam veteran. He taught him how to use a knife and cutthroats. It had a great impact on him. Linedecker the night stalker shot the husband first, of course, which he always did, rape a couple living in their house with one child. The night stalker shot the husband first which he always did and then he brutalized the woman and then he tied up the little boy. He reminded me of a cat with a mouse. He tortured him. It was not enough to kill him he had to terrorize him. He was out of control. The female adult victim survived, she was instructed to swear upon satan that she would not scream. He drew a pentagram on her. He was openly bringing a satanic aspect to the attacks. The Monterey Park police chief was talking to the press and he said that son of a pitch scared the out of the city and he was right. People knew there was a big problem and they were not safe anymore. The women that are living here alone are very concerned. They are staying in. He was in my neighborhood, he could have come to my house as well. A really good tip came in. There was a Newspaper Delivery person who saw the suspect twice while she was delivering papers early in the morning. She had given information to the Police Including describing a particular car. A Pontiac Grand Prix leaving the scene. This one had a damaged front fender that gave police a clue to work with. Police put out a all Points Bulletin for a car fitting the description. With that description and and eyewitness accounts, police felt like they were closing in. The minute you drive off the lot. Or more.

Police were working on a tip about a pontiac that was seen leaving the sun valley crime scene. By august 8515 people had been murdered and a dozen assaulted. Police were working on a tip about a pontiac that was seen leaving a crime scene. A Motorcycle Officer spotted the car and pulled it over for a traffic violation, he did not get the information yet that this could be the night stalker. He walked up to the car and said you are not that guy that is killing everyone are you . The person in the car just ran, the car was left. The car was impounded and it was examined. We looked in the car and found physical evidence in the car. The task force alerted all surrounding agencies. There was a pentagram drawn below the dashboard. There was a hard to a dentist in chinatown. Police had to feel something is going to break in the case but it has to be fast. People were dying. He was a drifter. He had no fixed residence. He would only stay for a short period of time and then move on. He stole a lot of jewelry, there was evidence that he started as a burglar and he graduated to horrible crimes of violence. To me it was not the killing that was planned, the burglary was planned. He would go in and somebody was there so she dies. Chris and virginia are in their bedroom for the night and a noise wakes virginia. She realizes there is a male standing in the room. The night stalker shot the husband in the head twice. Virginia sets up and is immediately shot by her attacker. Peterson, hurt as badly as he was when after the night stalker. Two rounds are fired at chris and both miss. Chris is able to tackle and restrain the shooter. Unfortunately the shooter manages to escape. Both chris and virginia survived the attack and were able to provide details of the attack. Virginia did talk to a reporter by telephone, she said you never dreamed it would happen to you. But it did. Being responsible for multiple murders at different times and locations, i guess we would have to say we have a Serial Killer. It went from suspicions of a Serial Killer operating to a certainty. Emergency crime calls jumped 50 . Measures that were not heard of before. The owner of the gun shop said he had a rash of women coming in and purchasing guns ever since the murders. Owners of Shooting Ranges reported their business was up 150 . The Guardian Angels came in to help. They were there as watchdogs. They were a Martial Arts Group in new york and they started a chapter in la and they were patrolling the streets. We want to catch him. The Sheriffs Department was run by a Board Of Supervisors who offered a reward, 10,000 for information leading to the capture of the person responsible for these murders. With all of the Media Attention the night stalker nose police are after him so he leaves la and heads north to San Francisco. They may relocate but they do not stop killing. But she su rvived. In his bed. His 64yearold white fish found in the hall shot and feet and foot she survived. He ransacked the house, he went to the kitchen and calmly drink milk out of the refrigerator, ate some food and then continued ransacking the house. I was able to locate the Shell Casings from a 25 caliber. We had a footprint in blood in the kitchen. We also found a pentagram scratched in the bathroom door. Police were looking for a connection to local unsolved crimes but were also looking at the crime spree in Southern California. Our officers have gone to confer with the Police Authorities there in hopes that the exchange of information about the crimes would be helpful to determine if there is any similarities of the crimes in that city. The bullet i recovered was intact, it had the same characteristics as the bullets involved in two homicides in la. The other evidence was the shoe print. The same type of shoe found in the Southern California homicides. The city of San Francisco will now try to do what la could not, stop the killer from taking another vic them. Diane feinstein was the mayor, she had a press conference. The mayor announced a reward for catching the walk in killer. There was a 10,000 Reward Offering for the arrest of the night stalker. La increased their offer to 25,000. Things are starting to emerge as common ties. The footprint of a distinctive athletic shoe, ballistic evidence and the pentagram. Information was still being held close to the vest by investigators. Police were sharing information with the mayor of San Francisco. The mayor makes a move that changes the course of the investigation. Its not just designed to look good. Its built to command attention. Its not just a comfortable interior. Its a quiet refuge.

Jordan investigators are on the hunt for the night stalker after he terrorized, raped, and murdered people in both l. A. And San Francisco. Police feel they are very close investigators are on the hunt for the night stalker after she terrorized, assaulted and murdered people in San Francisco. Police feel they are close to making a arrest when suddenly the mayor makes a move that changes the course of the investigation. The evidence was shared with Public Officials in San Francisco which disclosed some of the keys that was not meant for public consumption. In San Francisco the mayor disclosed a key piece of evidence detectives would not talk about. The ballistics on the weapon of the same ballistics on more than a dozen of murders committed in Southern California. She stated it was a similarity of Shoe Print Impressions left at the scene. Now that the details have been made public the night stalker can stay ahead of the police. It is important to keep information from the public. If the public knew the killer would know. He started watching the news and picks up on it. The information became known to the night stalker. He through the Athletic Shoes into the bay. After disposing the evidence linking him to the crimes, the night stalker goes back down to la. The night stalker travels back down south to orange county. That is one of the hottest summers on record. I open my windows to get a breeze off of the ocean. The night stalker entered the home of his latest victims by plying a screen off of a window. He was shot in the head and she was sexually assaulted and tied up. She survived. I woke up in the hospital the next day. I could not walk and i had difficulty talking and nobody would tell me what happened. They said wait a couple of days and the psychologist will come. What was different about this incident, shortly before the breakin there was a young man that lived a couple of blocks away. It is 2 00 in the morning, a young teenager spots a suspicious man outside of his familys house. He was working on his motorcycle in the garage and saw somebody come out of the backyard through the lawn and go down the street. He sees the man jump into a orange toyota Station Wagon and he is able to get a partial License Plate number. He did not get a good look at the person but got a description of the car. He told his father about it and they called police. For investigators this was the break they were hoping for. The description of the vehicle and the partial License Plate ultimately leads to the recovery of that Station Wagon and the identification of the night stalker. A alert is going out to all Law Enforcement agencies in the state of california to be on the lookout for this individual who is considered armed and extremely dangerous. Everybody wanted him caught. We received a broadcast of a possible night stalker sighting. He is surprised when a crowd recognizes him. He is last seen traveling on eighth street. I do not think anybody expected him to get caught like that. He was just radiating evil. I will be avenged. Lucifer lives within us all. That is it. And now they had the identity of a prime suspect. The lapd issued an allPoints Bulletin, thanks to a observant teenager, police are armed with their most promising lead yet and they have the identity of the prime suspect. The lapd issued a all Points Bulletin and after so many false starts they can finally bring the night stalker into the light. What happened next nobody saw coming in part two of the night stalker. Thank you for watching. Nd rick. He was just a normal kid like everybody. We went to school together. Me and ricky were best friends. He was just a normal kid like everybody.
