(SPOILER ALERT: Do not read on if you dont want to know what happens in Night Stalker: Searching for a Serial Killer.)
Richard Ramirez, known as The Night Stalker, is one of the most prolific and vicious serial killers to have terrorized the streets of Los Angeles in the 80s. Now, Netflixs docuseries Night Stalker: Searching for a Serial Killer delves into how investigators finally apprehended the killer, after he managed to evade law enforcement for a year.
Ramirez, first known as the walk-in killer, invaded homes, murdering and sexually assaulting the residents, from June 1984 to August 1985. He used a wide variety of weapons and would leave behind satanic symbols.
After finding prints on a stolen car and releasing a mugshot to the public, Ramirez was apprehended after he was subdued by a group of residents and was beaten before cops could step in.
On September 20, 1989, he was convicted of all charges: 13 counts of murder, five attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults and 14 burglaries, although hes assumed to have committed many more crimes. He was sentenced to death but in 2013, he died of cancer in prison, after serving 23 years on death row.
