"The Night Stalker" Richard Ramirez

Before he was known as the "Golden State Killer", Joseph DeAngelo terrorized people all over the state of California. It was in Orange County that he was known as the Night Stalker. But while Joseph DeAngelo's reign of terror was winding down in the mid-1980's, another killer in the Los Angeles area was just getting started. He too would be given the name 'The Night Stalker.'

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the frightening and bizarre crimes of serial killer Richard Ramirez. The details of the crimes committed by Ramirez are brutal. Descriptions provided by survivors were eery right down to their description of his rotting teeth and horrible breath. It took some incredible police work to identify Ramirez and an angry mob to bring him down. Once images hit the newspapers and television, it was evident that Ramirez looked the part of a serial killer and he made sure to play that image to the hilt. But what drove Ramirez to kill? Events that unfolded during his younger years may have played a pivotal role in his murderous desires.
