Biography
American homicide perpetrator, "the night stalker" who created a rein of terror in Los Angeles and environs from January to August 3, 1985 when he was captured. He beat, stabbed, shot, kidnapped and raped victims from the age of 6 to 84, brutal attacks in the dead of night, attacks upon strangers with no apparent process of selection other than availability. Many of the female victims had been sexually assaulted; five had their throats cut.
He was captured by a group of ordinary citizens who recognized him from police sketches, apprehended him and turned him over to the police. His trial began 1/30/1989; found guilty 9/20/1989 of 13 murders and 30 other felonies. In November, 1989, the penalty phase of his trial concluded with a death sentence.
An admitted devil worshipper, Ramirez has jagged teeth and a handsome, dark look of pure evil. On 10/03/1996, he was married to Doreen Lioy, a 41-year-old woman who said that she fell in love while visiting him on death row, finding him vulnerable and innocent. They were allowed to kiss during the ceremony but will not be allowed conjugal visits. Her relatives did not attend the wedding, aghast at her apparent insanity.
On August 7, 2006 his first round of state appeals was denied by the California Supreme Court, upholding his convictions and death sentence at San Quentin.
He died of liver failure on the morning of 7 June 2013.
