2. Interesting Facts!

with AC/DC’s album Highway to
shadow on the blind? As you
Hell, on this album was “Night
Prowler”. This song basically lie there naked like a body in
explain his attacks. a tomb, suspended animation
as I slip into your room...”
 On October 3, 1996 in the jail’s
visiting room a wedding took
place for Doreen Lioy and Mr.
Ramirez even though he was on
death row. (I thought this was
strange!)
 Thinking, “Why did she pick this
killer?” Well I chose Night Stalker
because all of his attacks happen
in Los Angeles, so they were all
local to us.

3. The Reasoning!
 The motive or reasoning for  Criminal past consisted of car
Ramirez's attacks was he theft, burglary, and drugs charges.
burglarized the house to
support his drug habits. Raping
the women because he had this
sexual fantasy/wanting with
the victims.
 There was a turning point
where he went from just
stealing to ransacking the
house, then becoming a killer.
The turning point is to be him
witnessing his cousin Mike
murder his wife right in front
him. He was splattered with
her blood in the process. He
also had a violent childhood.

victims, Witness getting license
plate number

bases that could be used to
analyzed the evidence. Everything
had to be compared/analyzed by

case. A fingerprint lifted from the
crime scene and car
matched, which is when police
were able to stop the ends to the
Night Stalker.

murders

row in San Quentin. He
