Ramirez. The Night Stalker.
Ahh...thanks. No I haven’t read any books about him. But I lived in Orange County, CA at the time he was on his killing spree. My former gf knew 2 of his victims; her elderly parents played Pinochle with them. It was an interesting time. I would leave for work before dawn and it was very noticeable that everyone was burning their outdoor lights all night long. Gun and ammunition sales soared, as did sales of large dogs. Even my gf, who lived with her sister, asked/demanded that I stay at her house every night until Ramirez was caught. As I said, it was an interesting time and it was very unfortunate that he escaped his sentence of the death penalty.
