Richard Ramirez "The Night Stalker" Ep 008

Ricardo Leyva Muñoz Ramírez (February 29, 1960 – June 7, 2013), known as Richard Ramirez, was an American serial killer, serial rapist, kidnapper, pedophile, and burglar. His highly publicized home invasion and murder crime spree terrorized the residents of the Greater Los Angeles area and later the residents of the San Francisco Bay Area from June 1984 until August 1985. Prior to his capture, Ramirez was dubbed the "Valley Intruder" (as his attacks were first clustered in the San Gabriel Valley) and the "Night Stalker" by the news media.

Ramírez used a wide variety of weapons, including handguns, knives, a machete, a tire iron, and a hammer, as well as Satanicimagery. Ramirez never expressed any remorse for his crimes. The judge who upheld Ramirez's nineteen death sentences-remarked that his deeds exhibited "cruelty, callousness, and viciousness beyond any human understanding". Ramirez was convicted in 1989 of thirteen counts of murder, five attempted murders, eleven sexual assaults, and fourteen burglaries. He died of complications from B-cell lymphoma while awaiting execution on California's death row.
