Richard Ramirez, dubbed the Night Stalker by the local media, would find an unlocked door or window and let himself in. Once inside his victims house, he would do whatever the hell he wanted. He had begun his killing spree exactly 14 months before his arrest. In that time, he had killed 13 people, attempted to kill five more, and assaulted countless others all while giving praise to devil all along the way. On top of his physical crimes, he was guilty of burglary and petty theft.
