Starting point is 00:00:00 Police say the only common threat in the killings is the time of day. The Night Stalker apparently picks his victims at random, entering their homes after dark through unlocked doors. I'm afraid for everybody, elderly, young, everybody. I've been very apprehensive. I keep my doors locked and my guns loaded. Hey, weirdos. I'm the night, and I'm a stalker. And this is morbid. Whoop. Woop-titty-whoop. Listen to those crickets. Guess where we are?
Starting point is 00:00:51 We're outside again. Because we're covering the night stalker. So we wanted to be in the night. Without a stalker. Hopefully. Except I think I might have heard a coyote making like yelping noises down the street. Well, that's all right. And we're surrounded by bugs.
Starting point is 00:01:09 But other than that. Yeah. I really didn't want to be outside, but... But it's so beautiful. Is Elena's world and we're all just living in it. That's right. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I'm glad you've recognized that. You're welcome. No, I'm just kidding. She's great. It feels like fall. So I'm just embracing it. It really does. We're wearing sweatshirts.
Starting point is 00:01:29 We're comfortable. I wish I wasn't wearing shorts, though. That's true. I can understand that. I'm wearing nice, comfortable sweatpants. I'm wearing jorts. Because that's what podcasting is all about. I know.
Starting point is 00:01:39 I was going to wear sweatpants, but I thought we were going to be in the pod lab, and it's normally a little more warm in there. It's like 400 degrees in there at all times. Yeah. So, yeah. Let us know if these crickets are annoying the shit out. of you and we won't do the skin. Or you could just get over it. No, I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 00:01:54 But since you guys seem to dig us recording outside last time for our Woods episode. Yeah, people thought that was great. Yeah. And we're, you know, it goes with the theme this week again, so we're going with it. I hope I don't get covered in mosquito bites this time, though. Yeah, I didn't get any mosquito bites. So you must be sweeter than I am. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Last time, I was, like, covered. Oh, my God. I hope a bug doesn't land on the microphone. Oh, God. It will be like, blah, like, blow everybody. Because we bought our new microphone, y'all. Yay! I'm kind of sad that this microphone picks up anything because I was drinking a Captain Crunch
Starting point is 00:02:31 Slurpee, and now I feel like I can't drink it anymore. That's true. It's amazing. It sounds gross, but it is amazing. I just love that you handed me it to try it, and she just hands me it and goes, I'm trash. Well, because I bought an actual large Slurpee at 7-Eleven. way here. So I was like, here, try this, I'm trash. Yeah, try this, I'm trash.
Starting point is 00:02:53 I am. Sorry, I accept it. I accept it. I love you. And then I gave it to John. I was like, try this. What trash cereal does this taste like? Try that. Try that right quick. He was like, Captain Crunch isn't a trash serial. It's true. You got like very offended by it. He was like, that is not a trash series. Also, I think we're going to try and get a P.O. box soon.
Starting point is 00:03:16 We are so that we can, um, send you things without sending you our actual addresses because love you, but... But I don't know if you're a murderer. But you know. Just kidding. I know none of the other than murderers. I hope. But also, you know, you guys can write to us if you want to because good old-fashioned snail mail is still pretty awesome.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Yeah, I want that. I love snail mail. We'll write you back. Yeah, we'll write you back. So, you know. We'll get a P.O. box. We'll let you know what it is. And then you can write a shit.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Mm-hmm. And yeah, I don't know if there's a lot of true crime news. Did you hear about the guy that, like, killed his... pregnant wife, I think. Oh, that's what I was literally just thinking about. Other little girls? Yeah, it's horrific. He went on like several press conferences being like, I just want them to come home.
Starting point is 00:04:01 They're my world. And it's like, you're a piece of shit. You fucking kill them, you dick. And I'm pretty sure it was a two-year-old and a four-year-old. Yeah, they were like babies. And then she was pregnant. Yeah. How did you do that? Like, I just don't understand how you watch somebody walk down the aisle towards you and exchange like beautiful vows. and, like, create three lives together, and then just destroy all of them. And how you murder your own children, or any children, for that matter, but your own
Starting point is 00:04:29 children, but your own flush and blood. Like, I can't even get mad at my girls. Like, I get, like, if I have to, like, reprimend them, like, they, like, do not do that and have to use, like, a stern voice, I immediately feel bad afterwards. I told Ila that she couldn't have another cookie last week, and it destroyed me for, like, a couple hours. Because you're like, I just want to make you happy. I just want to give you another way for her. can't imagine.
Starting point is 00:04:50 And that was their dad. Like, that was their dad. Okay, I can't. I know, I can't even think about it. No, I can't. Like, John and I brought up the article when we were reading it the other night, and John said it. He was like, I can't.
Starting point is 00:05:01 He did go into this. Because you just think about, oh, I just... Yeah, it's just too much. That's so horrible. And unfortunately, tonight we are doing, obviously, Richard Ramirez, the nightstocker, and fair warning, everybody. It's a real bad guy.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Was that a coyote? Did you hear that? I did, but I think it was another case of us hearing a car, thinking... Oh, shit. I think it was like a... Misdiagnosing a coyote screen. I mean, coyotes don't screen. Can you imagine if coyotes just walked through the woods, being like, whoop!
Starting point is 00:05:34 I'd be like, girl, you're not scary. You're kind of funny. What if it just said, I'm a coyote? I'm a coyote. That'd be awesome. I'd be like, hey girl. But what I was, what I was saying, was this is a very, very heavy one. Richard Ramirez is literally, like, he is,
Starting point is 00:05:57 he did the damn thing. By far, he is the worst. Yeah. He's way up there. When you really get down to the nitty-gritty, he is the worst. And I honestly didn't think that before, because I had read a lot about him, and I knew a lot about him, and I thought he was awful anyways. He was, like, top three anyway before. Oh, yeah. But once I really dove, like, deeper into him, he's the worst. He's so gross. Like by far. Like, because the other thing is, he's, he's got a pretty high number. I mean, I'm pretty, he has... Well, just killings. Yeah, just killings. And then on top of it, he had rapes, he had assaults, he had, I mean, he was a real piece of shit. Like, he molested kids. He killed kids. He kidnapped kids. He did awful shit to kids. And it's like, he had no
Starting point is 00:06:45 no MO, really. His only ammo was breaking in in the middle of the night. That was it. Besides that, he had nothing. That was a pattern. So, he was completely unpredictable. He was totally disorganized. Which is almost scarier. Oh, it is. Because, like,
Starting point is 00:07:01 I think of Ted Bundy, Timbodey's a fucking monster. And he has an insanely high number. But he was an organized serial killer, so he had a pattern, he had an ammo. You knew what to expect. He planned his shit out, which is scary, and horrifying, but, like, Richard Ramirez was all over the goddamn half. And he was just, like, insatiable.
Starting point is 00:07:21 And it's like, he had no line. Oh, no line. Like, there was no line for him. Like, I don't know if there was a line for Ted Bundy. I mean, he crossed many lines as well. Yeah, he had some kids. Richard Ramirez really had no line. Like, none. So without further ado. So without further ado. Here we go. The Knight Stalker. Oh, something just bit my foot. It was me. Oh. Sorry. Weird. Weird. Weird.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Sorry about it. So, basically, he was the most evil son of a bitch walking the earth at the time in recent memory. Farn nominal. Like, we can pretty much say that. He's a fucking monster. So he's known to have killed 16 people in 14 months. Whoa. Back in 1984 to 1985.
Starting point is 00:08:06 1985 was the year I was born. Yeah. At the end of 85. So when he was caught, I wasn't born yet. But whatever. That's good. Yeah. So that's good.
Starting point is 00:08:15 But he also raped and injured a ton more in the process. And he was suspected in at least four more murders. So they haven't even nailed those. And he's dead. He's dead now. But he spent time in jail. Oh, yeah. He got his.
Starting point is 00:08:29 And he died of like blood cancer. Blood cancer? I didn't even know that was a thing. Oh, yeah. And apparently at the end, and we'll get into this obviously, because I should mention now, this is going to be a two-parter because there's just so much. Yeah, there's a lot. And we don't want to, like, overwhelm you with, like, a four-hour episode of just, like, mayhem and murder.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Legit. So, at the end, he apparently, his skin turned, like, highlighter green. Oh, yeah. I've heard that. So that's kind of fun. Yikes. And, like we said, he had, like, no-IMO. He used guns.
Starting point is 00:09:01 He used knives. He would use things. Usually, he didn't bring things with him, unless it was a gun, or he would bring weird thumb cuffs every once in a while. Thumb cuffs? Yeah. They're, like, they're used in, like, war situations, like military situations a lot. That's freaky. Yeah, it's a weird. It's more like a... Like the thing that you stick your hands into, like that? Almost like that, but it's, they're like
Starting point is 00:09:24 actual cuffs. Oh. Yeah, it's a weird. I'll have to like find a picture. But, um, he had other media names before he was dubbed the Nightstocker, which the Nightstocker is a great serial name. Oh, yeah. Like, serial names. I mean, I knew what you're talking about. It's a trash cereal. That is a trash cereal. No, it's a really good serial killer name. But his other names before he got that one included The Valley Intruder.
Starting point is 00:09:51 The Midnight Stalker. Yeah. Which was close. The walk-in killer? That sounds like... The walk-in freezer. This one's by far the worst. The screen door intruder. No. Like, someone got fired
Starting point is 00:10:07 after coming up with that. It was from the L.A. Times. The screen door intruder. Like, can you imagine that being the one that, like, we were, like, stuck with? I am Screen Door Intruder. That's what you go to prison with. You tell everyone you know that you were just visited by the Screen Door Intruder. Yikes. So, he was definitely classified as a disorganized serial killer, like we were saying, completely unlike Bundy.
Starting point is 00:10:30 He didn't plan. He would literally walk in places at random. He did not have a victim profile. He didn't watch his victims. Like, he walked into a house. Had no idea what was going on in there. And sometimes there were men, and he would just, his thing was to take out the man as fast as possible, so that he could focus on the woman. Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Yeah. So he was kind of like the Golden State Killer in that sense. Right. He made sure the man was securely tied up. Yeah, like the threat was taking, like, neutralized before he went and did his thing. He was less organized than the Golden State Killer, though. Way less organized. So, young Richard Ramirez was born Ricardo.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Lava, Muno... I'm sorry. I am not Spanish, guys, so I really apologize. I can just do this. I failed Spanish. Yeah, you do all the tongue rolls and all that. Minos Ramirez on February 29th, 1960 in El Paso, Texas.
Starting point is 00:11:27 And that's Leap Day. Which is supposed to be this fun, whimsical thing, but didn't turn out that way for him. Maybe it ruined his life. It's supposed to bring you luck, I think. It's like good luck. To be born on a leap year? Yeah. I think it's like good luck. I don't be making that up.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I'm going to pull that out of my ass, but it sounds good. Yeah, I've never heard that, but there's a lot of things I've never heard. You know what? I'm going to find a source for that. Do it. There's got to be a source somewhere. Plug source here. I've heard that somewhere. He was the youngest of five children.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Fuck that. And I'm the youngest of four. His father, Julian Ramirez, was actually originally a police officer. But when Richard was born, he worked as a laborer for the Santa Fe Railroad. and his mother, Mercedes. Okay. Right, Mercedes. Maybe just Mercedes.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I don't want to be like Mercedes. Like, I sound very American. Mercedes. Mercedes. Yeah, sure. Ramirez. Was actually a labor and a boot factory. Like the boots from last week?
Starting point is 00:12:27 Like Das Boots. Das Boots. Yeah, she was making those. Shit. No wonder he was a serial color. Well, it kind of was torturous because she was constantly exposed to dangerous chemical fumes while she worked there. And she worked there. I'm going to wait for that plane to go back.
Starting point is 00:12:44 That huge fucking jet engine. Just a fucking jet that's going over. So, she was exposed to these dangerous chemical fumes while she was pregnant with all of her children. Oh, shit. So she was sucking in, like, toxic chemicals while working all day while pregnant with all her kids. No, bueno. As a result, all of his siblings had some kind of birth defects, like respiratory. issues. They weren't like, you know, all physical, but some of them, like, respiratory issues,
Starting point is 00:13:13 bone deformities and Richard Ramirez is a birth defect. And the night stalker. I think he's just a breath defect all in himself. So like, don't do what she did. Don't work around dangerous fumes if you're pregnant. Actually, I might have to do that someday. Yeah. Gurmass. Hair fumes are like actually low-key. Oh yeah. When I was pregnant, they like didn't, I couldn't dye my hair. When people bring their babies into the salon sometime. I'm like, oh. No, that kind of makes me crazy. It tries well, one, people are trying to relax. So don't bring you're crying baby in. And you're supposed to be relaxing. And two, you're relaxing. And then three, there's a lot of things in there that I feel like they should not be breathing in. Well, that's, it's like, we shouldn't be breathing that
Starting point is 00:13:55 shit in. So it's like, babies? I don't know. No, that makes me nervous that someday I might be pregnant around all that stuff. Well, just wear a mask. I've seen hairdressers that, like, were pregnant and wore a mask. Yeah. While they did it. And I wasn't like, you asshole. Show your mouth. You huge douche. So just do that because you don't want a little Ricky. Sure don't.
Starting point is 00:14:17 So besides that whole thing, Richard's father was like a super angry dude and he was prone to fits of rage and violence, which he often directed towards his family. Phenomenal. His kids and his wife. So he probably had nothing to do with how Richard turned out. This is like a cesspool of a house.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Oh yeah. So already that's things are going. pretty smoothly for a trajectory towards mayhem. Yeah. But we've added on the fact that as a child, Richard also suffered not one, but two major head injuries. Yep. Two. Guys, watch your kids' heads.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Just make them wear a helmet for a while. I mean, once they have a major head injury, man... You're fucked. You might want to return them. Just bring them back to the stork. It's pretty hard to reverse that. It seems to be a thing. Like, it's not good.
Starting point is 00:15:09 John Wayne Gacy had a head trauma. So many. Ted Bundy had a head trauma. Ed Dean had a head trauma. You had a head... No, I'm just kidding. I had a head trauma. It's all bad.
Starting point is 00:15:19 So, yeah, you're basically shit on a look as a parent if that happens. So one of them was at the age of two. Oh, damn. And it was a dresser fell on him. And he had to get more than 30 stitches at two years old. Tether dressers to the wall, people. Yeah. If you have kids
Starting point is 00:15:38 Tether dressers to the wall How many more videos do we need to see where they're like Oh my god, look at this dresser, it fell on this kid. That's crazy. Because kids climb on shit. Right. And they pull the whole thing down because it's like physics and shit. Because it's like physics and shit.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Just tether that dresser to the wall. I'm saying. Your seat cushion kind of makes my like legs a little itchy. That's weird. Yeah. Sorry. It's okay. I apologize.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I wish I was wearing sweat pants. You're so complaining right now. I am complaining. It's because my Captain Crunch slurpee's gone. I'm sorry about it. Oh, you drank that whole thing. Yeah, I'm trash. I'm impressive.
Starting point is 00:16:16 You're trapped. I'm impressed. I'm self-proclaimed trash. I love it. Thank you. So the second head injury was when he was five. And he was knocked unconscious by a swing at the playground. Damn, what a gnarly fucking swing.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Was it made of cement or something? Who was swinging? Like, was Dwayne the Rock Johnson? I almost just spit my shit everywhere. Was Dwayne the Rock Johnson, like, swinging up. Sorry, Richard. Do you smell? He said, do you smell?
Starting point is 00:16:57 When he was a wrestler, his thing used to be, do you smell what the rock is cooking? Do you smell? Do you smell? Actually, yes, Richard Ramirez did smell. I thought that's the joke. you thinking. Oh, I didn't even realize that connection. Wait, how fitting that I'm having a slurpy right now. I feel like that's show up his alley. He like lived off of that shit. Oh, God. You don't live up and you brush your
Starting point is 00:17:22 teeth. Sometimes. I'm just kidding. All the time. You have pretty key. Thank you. Oh, my God, thanks. I like your tea. Wow. I aspire to your tea. What? We're really learning a lot. It's a moment. We're having a moment. So yeah, he got hit by doing the wrong time. It was after this injury that he actually started to suffer from epileptic seizures. Oh, shit. And they plagued him until he was a teenager. And then they just, like, stopped? They stopped.
Starting point is 00:17:55 This is actually kind of funny. They stopped when he started smoking marijuana. And that is a thing. I mean. It seems more and more to have some kind of connection. I'm not saying that that's the reason to stop, but it is a thing. In his early teen years, he actually, this is kind of sad, but like, don't feel bad for him because he's the worst. He used to start sleeping in a cemetery to get away from his house.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Wow. Because it was quiet and he could be alone and his dad wasn't, like, beating the shit out of him. That's actually really sad, but I'm not going to feel that. Yeah, it actually sounds kind of lovely. Like, very peaceful. You get sounds like this. You just sleep in someone's backyard. That's what I would do.
Starting point is 00:18:37 And then just like sneak out in the morning. Maybe that's a little creepy that I just said that. Yeah, there you go. Now, as if we haven't already, like, really made a serial killer pie with all of these pieces, we're missing one, a couple more ingredients. And don't worry, because Richard got all the ingredients. Oh, he got, like, double pie. So I'm pretty sure this was really, I mean, if everything else happened, maybe he could have.
Starting point is 00:19:06 I don't know. I mean, he's one of those, like, the nature versus nurture things tough. You could argue it for a long time. Because you could really argue for nurture because he had no chance. I mean, this kid had everything against him. But it's also, like, he is so evil that it's like, he had to have been born with some. Evilness. But then again, it's like maybe it was the toxic fumes that his mother was sucking in. Maybe it, like, warped his brain chemistry from the get-go.
Starting point is 00:19:32 So I don't know. But I know this had something to do with it right here. And I'm sure everybody will agree. So during his early teen years, it was his cousin Miguel or Mike who was really to blame. Fucked. And he was to blame for fusing the idea of like sex and violence together. Which is what a lot of these serial killers go through. Like a lot of these, you know, especially the one that are like sexual sadists like Ted Bundy.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Right. Like a lot of them get sex and violence fused at some point in a very, usually during their like pre-pupy. best in years where it's really important to have a good foundation and like a healthy outlook on sex and release ships and all that they always end up getting something fucked up that like you can't really turn back the clock so Mike was a former green beret in Vietnam oh shit so already it's like Mike has seen some things my father was in Vietnam yeah so now when he came back from from Nam Mike brought some Polaroids back with him and it wasn't like
Starting point is 00:20:35 I'm dead people? It wasn't like hashtag food porn or like beautiful scenery. Uh-oh. Or anything like that. They were photos of him decapitating people. Holy shit. Raping Vietnamese women. Oh God.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Torturing Vietnamese women and killing Vietnamese women. That's literally horrible. And he showed these to a 12-year-old Richard Rubin. Who takes photos like that? A really messed up individual, which Mike was. And you will see he gets even more messed up. Oh, God. Unfortunately, he was showing these things to Richard.
Starting point is 00:21:09 He was telling him how amazing it was and how powerful he felt. And he was basically telling him how great it was to just take their lives, take, you know, rape them, do take what he wanted, basically. So he was putting this in his head already. And these pictures were like arousing to Richard. Ew. Because again, starting to fuse sex and violence together. there and these are going to be his fantasies now.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I just don't get that. Because he's just not getting a correct view. One, on women. Like, he's already getting a very skewed, very fucked up message about women, which is you want to have sex with them, you take it. You want to kill them? You take it. You want something from somebody, you take it.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Like, that's what this guy is saying. That is not what you do. And that's not what you do. And he was also teaching him techniques he used in the war, like teaching them out of shoot a gun. Teaching, which in and of itself is not a bad thing, but mixed with everything else. He was teaching him about secrecy and recon and teaching him about creeping the fuck around, which is exactly what Richard ended up using later in life.
Starting point is 00:22:14 I'm going to teach you today about creeping around. I'm going to teach you about creeping the fuck around. Today's lesson is creeping around. They also called him Little Ricky. That's a good rap name. Little Ricky. I'm a little Ricky. There's a rapper right now called Lil Dickie. Of course, sir. I wish I was kidding. So on May 4th, 1973, Ricky was hanging out. Ricky. I'm like, Ricky, you know. Richard was hanging out with Mike at his house. Uh-oh. He did a lot when he was way too young. Mike got angry at his wife, Jessica.
Starting point is 00:22:44 No. And shot Jessica in the face in front of Richard. What? Who was 12 at the time. Just straight up point-blank murdered. Yep. Her? And she was dead. Like, shot her in the face.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Like, was mad at her, shot her in the face in front of Richard. Jesus. Mike was found criminally insane and only served four years. And then was just out? And then he was out and continued to stay in touch with Richard throughout his killing spree. What the fuck? Yeah. So now already, we have the abusive father.
Starting point is 00:23:16 We have the chaotic house. The chaotic house. We have two head injuries. Now we have a psychotic cousin who has shown him murderous photographs, raping photographs. He has shown him all this. And straight up murdered someone in front of him. There's a woman who he's supposed to be his wife in front of Richard. Now, what the hell is going to come out of that?
Starting point is 00:23:39 Damn. Because now Richard is seeing not only how to take from women, but also this is just what the world is. This is what it is. Yeah, well, that was his world. You get mad, you shoot her in the face. That's just how it is. Then you only serve four years. And exactly, and I bet that's cemented in his head that like, oh, well, you, you know, you get what you want and nothing's going to come of it.
Starting point is 00:24:01 That's so messed up. There's also a little kid playing outside right now. Yeah. And I keep hearing a little kid voice and it's low-key freaking me out. Yeah, I heard that too. It's too late. Go to bed. It's barely the summer anymore. Yeah, that's really creepy, actually. I'm not fair. I'd rather that coyote that was like, whoop. I like that you just keep saying coyote. I know. People are going to be like, you know it's a coyote, right?
Starting point is 00:24:22 I'm like, yes, I do. Okay. I know. So, after this whole fun period of life, at just 13 years old. the logical thing is for Richard to move in with his sister Ruth and her husband, right? You know, that's fine. Except her husband happened to be a disgusting peeping tom. Oh, what was up with his fam? And decided to take Richard under his wing and show him how to be a disgusting peeping tom.
Starting point is 00:24:51 What the fuck? So essentially, Richard Ramirez went through, like, he got like a master's degree in being straight up. A fucked up monster. Like, he literally from the jump was trained. Like, who does that? That's child abuse.
Starting point is 00:25:08 He was literally trained. So he literally showed him the ropes of being a fucking perverted loser. Ew. Now, her husband was also, her husband was also a drug addict and got Richard into acid for the first time when he was in ninth grade. Was he addicted to acid? Well, he started, he took a lot of hallucinogens.
Starting point is 00:25:26 He started taking like... Richard or the husband? Well, the husband. And Richard started taking a lot of... He took a lot of drugs later. Oh, damn. Which is why his appearance suffered. His appearance fell apart because he was just fucking a maniac.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Well, that does some shit to your brain. Oh, yeah. And this is also when he started... Because he was grown up in a Catholic household. But this is when he started questioning all of that and deciding to rebel against it. And he decided he was going to turn to Satanism. And he turned to, like...
Starting point is 00:25:57 Satanism isn't actually that bad when you really look into it. actual satanists are not what this is. Like, he was like a caricature. These are the people that, like, give it a bad name. Exactly. Like, he made it into what everybody thinks it is. Exactly. Like, what, what satanic panic was all about. Which is shitty for the people that are actual, just, like, regular Satanists. If you actually look at, like, I'm not saying we're Satanists. I mean, we're not saying we're Satanists? No, I'm not any religion. I'm agnostic. I don't know what the hell's going on. But I just wanted to be clear that, like, we're not saying, like, this. is what Satanism is.
Starting point is 00:26:33 And also, ACDC was his favorite band at the time. And bummer for ACDC because the media like demonized them. Like basically, because they found out that he was, that they were his favorite band and that he loved them. And they basically like, they essentially like blamed them. And it's like, dude, just because this fucking tool bag took lyrics way too seriously and took them in a totally different direction. So many people have crazy lyrics. Like, have you ever listened to Eminem? Exactly. And it's like, you can't blame the artist. No.
Starting point is 00:27:07 They're just letting out, they're actually letting it out in a good way. Exactly. The outside is so spooky. It is spooky. Every noise I hear, I'm like, motherfucker. Motherfucker. I know, and I feel bad. People's windows are probably open, and I'm like, so the night's talk. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry about it. My bad. Here's a bedtime story.
Starting point is 00:27:28 So at 16 years old, because, yeah, he's a little. only 16 years old right now. All of this has happened in the first 16 years of his life. And that's the, I actually meant to say, doing any kind of drug before you're like, oh yeah. Because you're what you always used to tell me when I was in high school and do drugs because your frontal lobe isn't formed. And it's your basis for reasoning and right long and logical, yeah, and logical rationale. And if you're starting to fuck with your brain chemistry before that's formed, it could stop forming and then you're really fucked. Well, and when they look into, like, killers and stuff like that, they always, like, check out their frontal lobes.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Yeah. Isn't that... Isn't that... Because a lot of them aren't, like, formed correctly. Isn't that where you can tell if, um, head trauma happened? Like, doesn't it affect something in the frontal lobe? Well, head trauma can affect anywhere. Oh, okay. It depends on the trauma.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Oh. Like, where it is, you know, like, it can basically... But it can make it so that your frontal lobe doesn't correctly develop right. Oh, yeah. Especially if you hit in, like, a certain spot... In the frontal area. Yeah. Science. Science. See, I listened to you for all those years.
Starting point is 00:28:30 did. I'm proud of you. I learned stuff. I learned things. So at 16 years old is when he began to work at the Holiday Inn. Yikes. So he tried to get a job and actually do things. But while he was working there, he stole a key card. I was going to say, why the fuck do you think he was working out the holiday inn?
Starting point is 00:28:47 And he broke into a room, and he attempted to immediately rape a woman who was coming out of his shower. Jesus Christ. Yeah, she immediately attacked her. But her husband had just left the room to go get something and came back. when this was happening. And the husband literally beat him to a fucking pulp. Like, beat him unconscious. Which, good on him.
Starting point is 00:29:09 And that's awesome, but what's not awesome is the fact that he fucking got away with this, because the couple was from out of state and didn't want to come back to deal with the trial, so no charges were filed. The hotel couldn't even do anything? No, well, it's the people who would have to.
Starting point is 00:29:26 But, well, he got fired, I'm sure, but, like, no charges were brought against him. So just another thing of, oh, I can get away with this. Once again, he's emboldened to think he can literally get away with anything. He's seeing evidence of it. He saw Mike literally shoot his wife in the face and kill it right in front of him and get four years. That's just fucking nuts. And now he attempts to rape a woman and he gets zero because they don't, and I don't, I mean, especially at this time, I mean, it's still awful.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Well, especially in the 80s, it was so fucking different. come forward because your like assholes are always going to be like what did you do to indict this you know like that's of people? And back then it was even worse. Oh yeah. I'm sure people just didn't want to deal with it. And to come back into a state you're not even from to have to deal with this shit is like
Starting point is 00:30:13 now at this time there was so there was one person in Richard Ramirez's life who was close to him. And was not a shit bag? No she was well she's not a shit bag of she's But she had a, she had some tough, a tough deck of cards laid out to her. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:35 To tell. Her name was Donna Myers. And she ended up not only being his best friend and roommate later, but she was also instrumental in his capture. Okay. So she's not a ship bag. So she turned out, she's definitely not shit bag. But she's, she's just, she wasn't loving her best life at this time.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Right. So she met him in 1979. and it was when she went down to El Paso with her friends Armando Rodriguez and Tony Rays. And they were two of her friends from the San Francisco area, which is where they were from. Okay. Now, Armando knew Richard. So that's how they all kind of got together when she went to El Paso. And according to Donna, she said when she first met Richard, quote, I thought he was a real nice guy.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Oh. So she couldn't have been more wrong. Now, we seem that way. Another little thing about people who were like slightly close to him was another childhood friend named Ray Garcia said about Richard, quote, we thought he was sick. He had this disease. Everything would stick to his fingers. We called him Ricky the klepto. Oh.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Because he was a huge thief. By this time, like when he was 16, 17, 18, he was fucking a kleptomaniac. He stole everything all the time. and throughout his murders you'll see every single murder he stole shit from their house it was always part of it. Truffees.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Yeah. Now, it was around this time when they came to El Paso and they all met, he actually followed them back to California. And he started living on like Skid Row. Oh. So he slept in parked cars,
Starting point is 00:32:15 he slept in alleys and he would sometimes sleep in like... Can you imagine getting into your fucking car and Richard Ramirez is sleeping in there? I'd be like, you can have it, bye. It's your house. now. It's yours. Congratulations. When he could, like, scrape money together,
Starting point is 00:32:28 he was sleeping like a flop house. You know what I mean? Right. But, uh, so now Donna, who ended up being coming, one of his really good friends, in an interview she said, quote, we'd see him in San Pablo at least once a month. He'd do his laundry and stay the day. He dressed in dark clothes,
Starting point is 00:32:46 always dark clothes. He liked to eat junk food and yogurt, Pepsi and cupcakes and banana splits, and he never brushed his teeth. Ew. He carried a backpack and a small satchel. He had his clothes, vitamins, and tapes in them. He always carried a Walkman tape player and wore a black baseball cap. I like that he thought enough to take vitamins, but not to brush his teeth.
Starting point is 00:33:10 But not brush his teeth. It's like vitamins are going to help you if you have... If your teeth are rotting inside of your body. Seriously. And he became very adept at stealing cars. Oh, shit. Which is important because he... stole cars all the time to bring
Starting point is 00:33:26 to these crime scenes. It helped him because he was never driving the same car. So it was just another way that he had zero pattern, zero anything that they could latch on to try to catch him. Well, he didn't really have a home base either,
Starting point is 00:33:42 so I'm sure that was like a tough... Exactly. Because it's like, when you're living on the street, it's not like that, you know. Just disappear into the night. Yeah. Damn, that's fucked up. I don't know if this is stupid or not, But sometimes I get the cases of the Green River Killer and the Knight'stok are confused. Like, I, like, I tied different details, and I'm like, oh, shit, that was not them.
Starting point is 00:34:05 I could see that. Well, it's the same, the same detective got them. Oh. Frank Salerno. Huh. He's, like, a rock star. Cool. Wait, the Green River Killer or Killers?
Starting point is 00:34:17 Killer. It was only one. Gary Ridgeway. No, that's not what I'm thinking of then. Who's the... The whole side stranglers? Maybe that's what it is. That I get confused.
Starting point is 00:34:28 I mean, they're definitely different, but they worked in California. So, yeah, so he ate like shit. I like that he mixed yogurt in there, too. I know, he was like, gotta get those, you know. Cultures. Those live cultures. Activia. I know, I was trying to think of the word.
Starting point is 00:34:49 He was like Jamie Lee Curtis. Yeah. Is that what you thinking? Yeah, I was trying to think of like... Or like to animals? Am I allowed to say all these things? What is the good gut bacteria? Why can't I think of the name?
Starting point is 00:35:01 Probiotics? Probiotics. That's what I was thinking of. Jesus. Having a moment. So yeah, he was... He just ate like shit. He lived off of junk food.
Starting point is 00:35:09 He lived off of soda. Candy. And then on top of it, it's like, that's one thing. You're already gonna fuck up your body that way. But he didn't... Not brushing your teeth? That's just so fucking gnarly. So his teeth were fucking...
Starting point is 00:35:21 garbage. He got garbage to you. So, halitosis. You tell the people in your house to stop moving around? Because they're really freaking me out. Stop living. Everybody sit down. Just sit down until we are done. Same with the co-yo-so. So what about halitosis? So halitosis was something he became pretty known for. Oh, God. Because his future victims all said he smelled like fucking shit. Do you know that halitosis is the first thing I learned about in hair school? Because you're so close to people. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:54 They literally have a whole chapter dedicated to halitosis. Makes sense. And, like, personal hygiene and body care. Because there, I remember, because honestly, someone with gnarly ass breath will stay with you. Forever. That memory of that person will connect with that nasty, gnarly ass breath. Because I remember, I was on jury duty once. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:36:17 It was a dude. And he was a very nice guy. He was, like, very put together. other very clean and he was like just chatting with me some people like get halitosis he had the worst breath and I remember literally sitting there and being like I'm gonna barf I'm fucking nauseous yeah it is nauseating I used to work with a girl that had wicked bad halitosis I'm like you're a clean cut dude like it's like it's like it's something in your stomach like causes it yeah it can be like bad gut shit right like causing it which is and it's not always people's spot no it's not halitosis in general isn't
Starting point is 00:36:50 No. Holotosis brought on by this shit is... Oh, that was 100% as fault. Just brush your fucking teeth. Yeah, this is like preventable halotosis. And like, maybe eat a vegetable. Just, like, gargle some listerine every once in a while. Throw a mint in there.
Starting point is 00:37:01 I don't know. Halitosis is low-key, my biggest fear. I have mints in every single one of my cars. Constantly. I have them everywhere. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, halotosis. His fucking teeth were garbage.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yummy. And it was sometime in, like, 1984-ish, which is when he started his craziness, that Donna, this Donna lady, said that he started taking cocaine. Oh shit. And he soon started dissolving the cocaine in water and shooting it. Oh. Yeah. She said, quote, he broke off a needle in his arm one day.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Oh, my God. That's what he told me. He ran to the hospital and they had to cut the needle out for him. He got so hooked on cocaine, he just wigged out. What the fuck? So he was like, he was literally taking a little bit of him. lucidogens. He was, I mean, he was smoking of marijuana, but I don't know if that really is not a very by-winds.
Starting point is 00:37:55 I don't think that had anything to do that. But on top of everything. Well, yeah. And then, so he's literally shooting cocaine. He's just always out of it. He's taking hallucinogens. He's doing all this shit. Well, cocaine can lead to like fits of rage. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Cocaine is scary. So this is when he really dove into the devil stuff, like the devil worshiping stuff. Oh, yikes. Donna said, quote, he really got into it. He drew a satanic star on the upper part of his arm. He drew a, she called it a witch's star.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Good. Her quote, that man. He drew a witch's star in a circle on his stomach, so a pentagram. Right. And wanted to get it tattooed on. He used palm readers. He would say Satan is a supreme being like we worship God. He would tell me that Satan watches over him so he doesn't get caught or get hurt.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Oh, shit. Now, oddly enough, his first murder, which happened. in the year 1984 wasn't discovered to be linked to him until 2009. Oh, damn. When they used DNA analysis to link it to him. And it was a nine-year-old girl.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Oh, my God. And he never confessed to this one. Which some people are like, oh, do you think it was like he had some kind of remorse? No, I think he just knew. I think one, he either didn't want to get beat up in prison.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Literally might not have even remembered doing it. Because who knows how many of these he even remembers? Because he was so strung out. And two, he probably just doesn't give a shit. And he did so much shit. It's like... Well, and especially when you're in prison already, don't
Starting point is 00:39:28 they, like, certain prisoners get, like, real pissed off if you have killed kids? But he already had a few that he confessed to, so he was already in deep shit that way. Oh, damn. But, like, at this time, he started kidnapping and raping little girls for a little spell. Yeah, he was a fucking demon. Oh, I hate that. Um, February
Starting point is 00:39:46 20s... Now, this is... We're going to start going into this. And again, I said this... is going to be a two-parter. So we're going to talk about a couple of these cases, and then we will dive back into it next week. For part two, because we don't want to... This is overwhelming, for sure. And it gets real dark, real fast. And I really love that there's still fucking kids playing outside, and it's freaking me up.
Starting point is 00:40:06 And they're, like, making weird... Like, it sounds like the Blair Witch, when, like, remember they're in the tent and all those little kids' hands are on the tent? I wish you didn't bring it there. It sounds like that, though. It does sound like that. I'm like, please stop. So, here we're...
Starting point is 00:40:20 go, trigger warning everybody, because we're starting off with kids. Ugh. So, February 26, 1985 was a six-year-old girl. Oh, my God. He didn't kill her, but she told, so when she was discovered, alive, she told authorities that she was kidnapped from a bus bench while waiting for her older sister. He stuffed her into a zipped laundry bag. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:40:47 molested her, and then dropped her off someone. somewhere else. And then he did it again to another little girl. Like, why? March 11th, a nine-year-old Monterey Park boy was kidnapped from his home in the middle of the night, sexually assaulted, and then left an Elysian park near Silver Lake. Oh my God. These are all him. Now, June 28, 1984, Ma's birthday. Always. Most birthday is in a lot of days. I know. An elderly woman named Jenny, and I don't have her last name here, so I might need to add that later. She was stabbed, he broke into her home, she was stabbed repeatedly while she was sleeping and he raped her. He also cut her throat so deeply that he almost decapitated her.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Oh my God. March 17, 1985, 22-year-old Maria Hernandez, and 34-year-old Dale Okazaki, these are two women. they lived together as roommates Maria was coming home from work and it was at night so she pulls into the garage and she goes to close the garage door and he snuck in under the door
Starting point is 00:41:56 he just immediately points a gun at her a 22 caliber handgun he shoots I know this kids like legitimately playing outside right now and I don't know what to do and I don't know what to do like we can do anything what do I do how do I make this stop
Starting point is 00:42:12 So he shot the gun at her. But, and this is like some superhero shit. No. Oh. Crazier. She happened to have her keys, like, on her finger, looped on her finger and, like, on her palm. Like, she held up her hands.
Starting point is 00:42:29 And it... The bullet hit the key and ricocheted off. Holy shit. Now, she had the presence of fucking mind to drop to the floor and pretend that he hit her and pretend she was dead. And he just walked over her and into the house. But unfortunately, Dale had heard the gunshot, so she hit under a counter. And when she peeked out to see if he had gone, he shot her in the face.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Oh, my God. Maria survived. But unfortunately, her roommate was killed. That is so horrible. Now, he wasn't finished that night. That's same night. He found 30-year-old Sally on you. No.
Starting point is 00:43:13 She was pulled over, she pulled over her car, and he walked up to her car, yanked her out of it, screamed at her calling her a bitch, because that was his emo, which we'll find out later. He constantly would say, like, the same line, like, shut up, bitch, or I'll kill you. Jesus. And actually, what's crazy is he said it so many times, and it was reported so many times from survivors that he used, like, the same line that when they did, like, get him and they had somebody look at him. the lineup. They had everybody in the lineup say, shut up, bitch, or I'll kill you. So that they could say, like, that's who he is. Holy fuck. Which is kind of interesting. That is.
Starting point is 00:43:51 So when you pulled over, he yanked her out, screamed at her, and then shot her several times. She died the next day. Oh, my God. March 20th of the same year, an Eagle Rock girl, little girl, is kidnapped and sexually molested by a man who breaks into her family's home at night. Oh, my God. March 27th. Now this one's rough.
Starting point is 00:44:12 This is when he like, he ratchets things up a little bit. Here, this is when he started like really getting a stride of like fucked upness. March 27th of the same year. He hit the home of 44-year-old Maxine and 64-year-old Vincent Zezara. Now, he broke into their home at 2 a.m. Vincent was asleep on the couch, which always seems like a bad idea in these stories. It's like there's so many stories. of like, the husband was asleep on the couch.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Don't sleep on your couch. Like, sleep in your bed. Well, you just fell asleep. But, like, don't do that. You're just a sitting duck. I feel like it's just like... Sleeping on your couch is for dead people. It's exactly.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Well, this whole story is a lesson that I've already taught you all, which is fresh airs for dead people. Closed your window. Like, close your damn windows because he was just coming into these houses. So, Vincent was asleep on the house. On the house? He was on top of the house. You know, you know?
Starting point is 00:45:11 It's comfy. Sometimes it's nice. You can't sleep on your house. Just try it on the house. He was on the couch. He was on the couch. Couch. So these kids are messing me up.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Yeah, for real. Richard walked right up to him and shot him in the head as he slept. Oh my God. Boom. Dead. Maxine was sleeping upstairs in the bedroom. We're in the gunshots. And she immediately was like,
Starting point is 00:45:34 what the fuck? So she grabbed Vincent's shotgun. Hell yeah. And she was like, I'm going to fuck this. guy up, which this all could have ended in this moment, which is very devastating. Tell me what happened. So she grabs the shotgun, she walks, she fucking has it out, and Richard comes up, and she goes, ch-ch-ch-ch-click.
Starting point is 00:45:55 It was empty? It was empty. Oh, my God. You want to know what's even worse? No. It was empty because Vincent had taken the bullets out a couple days earlier because their grandchildren had visited and he wanted to be a safe, carrying grandfather, and not have bullets in his gun for his children and grandchildren to find.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Why didn't he tell her? So he literally was being a good grandfather and removed the bullets from the gun. And so she, if she had done that, boom. Richard Ramirez would be done. This would be the end of it. I fucking hate that. It's, can you imagine, like, do you know that feeling when your stomach's going to fall out your butt? Oh, my God. Like, when she did the, like, and it just went, quick.
Starting point is 00:46:37 You just know that you're going to die. imagine, I'd be like, what the actual fuck? Unfortunately, Richard had bullets in his gun, and he shot her three times in the chest. Oh, my God. Luckily, I guess, she died pretty instantly. Yeah, no, you wouldn't want to suffer. But then Richard got, like, theatrical. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:46:58 He gouged her eyes out of her head. He literally scooped them right out. He stabbed her left breast, like, very intensely. like they said it was like a T-shaped ripping wound. Oh. He cut her face all up. He cut her pubic region all up, her stomach, and her neck. He then put her eyes in a jewelry box and took them home with him.
Starting point is 00:47:22 What the fuck? Yeah. Well, luckily, because this did help later. It didn't help at the time, but later, I guess this was a good thing. He left his ACDC hat at the scene because he's a fucking dumb ass. Wow. Which he was probably really mad about it, but. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Like, think about it. You leave your favorite band. It's like the scene of Mean Girls for him, I want my pink shirt back. I want my pink shirt back. I want my ACGC head back. He's like yelling it in prison. He's like driving by the house,
Starting point is 00:47:51 yelling out a window. God. So he, now this is, this is kind of synonymous with him. Like, it's a very infamous part of this case. He also left a sneaker print at this scene. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:05 and, which is not always great evidence, but in this case, they must be having, like, a sleepover or something. I thought, like, an angry dad was in there, and I was like, oh-oh. Domestic assault is happening on the podcast. I was like, guys, we might have a case unfolded right now. Well, we'll be back next week. We've got to figure the shit out.
Starting point is 00:48:29 So, yeah. So, the sneaker print was the brand Avia, or Avia? I think it's Avia. Is it Avia? I don't know. It said both ways. It's one of them. I think it's a via, actually.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Okay. I don't know. Either way. I think AIA sounds better. It does. But it might be a VIA. It's a pretty specific brand, obviously. Not floating around everywhere.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Like, probably tattoos. And it ended up being that this specific shoe print was found at every scene. So this is how they were able to connect all the scenes. Part of how they were able to connect all the scenes, it's going to be like, whoa, this is one fucking dude. And they were probably like, what the fuck? Well, for a while, they were like, this has to be multiple people. Because there's just so many.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Because there's so many. Now, May 14th, 1985, it was married couple Bill and Lillian Doy. Now, Lillian was an invalid who was bound to a hospital bed. I believe she had like cerebral pals. Now, they slept in separate bedrooms because of this because she had to be in a hospital bed. Uh-huh. So Richard broke into their house and immediately shot Bill. in the face. Oh my god. Bill didn't immediately die. Holy shit. So Richard beat him unconscious.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Then he found Lillian sleeping in her fucking hospital bed in a separate room. He bound her with thumb cuffs. No, she was already fucking bound. And then he raped her, an invalid. Like, what the fuck is wrong with you even do anything about it? And he knows that she's in a fucking hospital bit. Now, Bill woke up. Holy shit. He's been shot in the face and beat unconscious and he just woke up saw what was happening, obviously couldn't fight back. So he crawled to the phone and dialed 911 to get somebody there for his wife. No way. Then he fell back into unconsciousness.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Richard heard this happening and he split because he knew police were coming. So Lillian survived and Bill ended up passing away. Oh no! But the cops said she only survived because he, like his heroic effort of crawling to the phone and calling the police. I wish he could have lived. I know. It's awful. Now, I can't imagine, oh, that like stresses me out because I wouldn't even want to live. Right. I know. I don't know how you go off. Without your significant other. And all that trauma is like, oh. Now I'm going to, I think we'll end on this next one.
Starting point is 00:50:54 And this next one is possibly the worst one. Great. So, there's way more after this, but this is a really bad one. So hold on to your butts. I like when you say that makes me laugh. May 29th. So this was only a, like, a couple, like a week and a half after this last one. So he's really, like, on a tear. He went to the home of 83-year-old Mabel Mabel. Legit? Those people called her Mabel.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Fuck him. And her friend who lived with her 81-year-old Florence Lange. No, like literally go fuck yourself or Tric Ramirez. He breaks into the house. He sees a hammer on the counter. No. No. He bludgeones Ma Bell, then he bludgeoning Florence.
Starting point is 00:51:42 He then returns to Ma Bell, and he's like, huh, she's still alive, even though he, like, cracked her skull open, and she's an 83-year-old woman. So he's like, hmm, what else can I do? So he grabs a lamp, he rips the cord out, and he pulls the wires out of the cord, and he just starts shocking her with the wires. She was alive this whole time. Nobody knows how long he did these, like tortured them, but he tortured them. him. He then raped them both.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Ew, what the fuck? Grabbed, he wasn't done, he then grabbed a tube of Ma Bell's lipstick and drew a pentagram on her inner thigh. What? What a theatrical piece of shit. After all that, he sat down, he had a can of soda, he ate two bananas,
Starting point is 00:52:28 he peed in their toilet, and didn't flush the toilet. What a dick. It was just fucking rude. He ate their bananas? Now, yeah. He, like, ate the food just sat there, hung out for a little bit. Okay, Joe DeAngelo. This is awful no matter what, but both of the women were alive still. Well, he was just hanging out?
