    I had Psychology teacher in college one of my professors told us a story about her father who was at a party one night and one of the best friends brought a date to the party and all night the date really wanted to be alone with her but she felt really uncomfortable and so somehow she ended up climbing out a window and dipped and when the date realized she left, he was upset and left upset. A couple days later they found out the guy moved to California from El Paso and on the news one night his picture popped up and they realized he was Richard Ramirez and found out what he had done and how that could have happened to the friend

      I know it might seem strange but there is a good reason why they do this. Often times its a member of the public that will see something and come forward with vital information. When you give someone a name like "the night stalker" its something that will grab your attention and make you more aware of whats going on around you. It makes people more interested in the case and if you get more people interested, there is a much greater chance that someone will see something.

I remember the real sense of fear in the neighborhood, as someone else said commented, you didn't want to sleep with any doors of windows unlocked. I remember falling asleep next to an open screen door and waking in a panic that it was open.

      He wasn’t possessed. He was breathing heavy because he was doing breathing exercises to manage his stress levels.

      He always kept his mouth closed in pictures, like in the thumbnail pic. The scary chupacabra-looking picture is from about a week after his arrest, a dentist came to the jail and made a cast of his teeth for evidence. They also told him to open his mouth for those pictures because his horrible teeth were a huge identifying feature and they wanted to show the picture to the surviving victims/witnesses.

    No one ever mentions how his dad was in the Vietnam war, and when he came back, showed him all the beheadings and torture pictures of what was happening.
    Which he said was the turning point on how he felt about death!

      Agree, but it was his much older cousin (by 15 years) who came back from "Nam", telling Richard all about how he killed, raped, tortured people and how then
      he got seven (7) medals for these murders. Then, when he came home, he murdered his wife for which he spent only 3 or 4 years in a mental institution.
      Once released he continued to brag to Richard about his "heroic" deeds in Vietnam and then they gave him a well-paying job with the Texas Workforce Veterans
      Services in San Antonio until his death of a massive heart-attack at age 50 or so.
      He was given a heroes burial with 21 shot salute. And what did they do to his young victim????!!!!
