Probably the worst thing ever, having someone break into your home, your "safe place", and completely violate you. You'd lose all sense of safety and feelings of security.
remember the police respond ( after the fact) they don't prevent, we must take steps to provide our own security

And to think some woman loved that guy lol 😬
So his cousin Mike was released back into society 4 years after MURDERING HIS WIFE IN FRONT OF RICHARD, and then allowed to still be around this poor child.. I know it was the 70's but how was he not put into a mental hospital after being deemed too mentally unstable to be in jail?!
The injustice of the justice systems!
probably because they were afraid of the demonic activity they saw. It happens.
Right?! Not excusing his awful crimes, but Richard NEVER had a chance to have a normal life. He should have been in treatment his whole life tbh
It doesn't make sense that people can go free because of mental illness. They for sure need to be in jail if they are uncontrollable psychopaths. They are more dangerous if they can't control themselves
@@Kj-ze7pd Not jail, they didn't choose to be mentally ill. They should be in treatment facilities.
That teenage kid not only saved his parents' and his own life, but he was also able to give police the information that they desperately needed! That kid is a frickin badass!!

The Netflix series was more about the cops and how they did not coordinate well to truly find him. This was about him. Thank you!
Indeed it was.
Netflix really sucks at documentaries, it's not the first time, for example the Ted Bundy documentary was trash!
Yes! I wrote the same thing. I like a good backstory of how these monsters came to be, but the Netflix miniseries was captivating. It reminded me of the film Zodiac.
Yes and there’s more than 1 perspective on the case. So, hearing both (Netflix and this video) stories was good . If your interest is in law enforcement and human nature a person could say that’s better. The mistake at the dental office was interesting as 1 example.
The Netflix show went on and on and on and on and on about the shoe footprints.... it eventually led nowhere.... I noticed their documentaries use a lot of redundant fillers......
I realize that everyone has choices in their life but I do really feel like his upbringing is basically a recipe for how to make a serial killer...
Yes. Also mixed with his multiple concussions. He was doomed.
There are born psychopaths and created psychopaths. He was created. I find it fascinating and also completely tragic. We as a society need to put more focus on how NOT to create psychopaths. The things he did to people were absolutely terrifying and depraved, but I can't help but wonder what would have become of him if he were raised in a safe, loving environment.

To be fair, it is a phenomenon because it feels forbidden and the women that get interested in murderers think they are supporting the underdogs who were misunderstood.
he should have been executed right away. its an insult to the victims to keep such a monster alive for so long at tax payers expense!!
I live about 15 miles from Mission Viejo, where the Romero’s lived. While all this was going on the police recommended placing wooden dowels in the window tracks so they couldn’t be forced open. To this day we have those same wooden dowels in our windows, 36 years later.

I think his sister Ruth was the only normal one
F You
I can't imagine the guilt the couple that dropped charges against him knowing they could have potentially stopped or paused his reign of terror saving who knows how many lives.
I don’t think any normal humans can comprehend stuff like this.
I don’t think he would’ve done enough time though,would’ve got out and continued.
I would feel absolutely guilty. Even if my charges wouldn't have kept him in jail long enough to save all of his victims. if I could have prevented at least one death, I would feel less guilty. I feel for that couple. Ramirez was a psychopath.
shutup
Exactly!
my great uncle is a surviving victim. the netflix series was the first documentary that mentioned his story!
How’s he doing?
Sounds like that 13-year-old boy is got a future ahead of him being the best detective they've ever seen
What makes me angry is that he could have been caught earlier if the investigation was dealt with professionally instead of it being a competition to hide info from each other and who will get fame from finding the night stalker 😒💢
yeah the citizens of east LA repremanned him and took shit into their own hands. They were not gonna let him get away with this. And that 13 year old boy taking the number plate. They did the cops job for them.They all deserve medals for that...BiG Balls to take down a serial killer!! 👊🏼💯🎖
Who expects them to be professional? They in it for the paychecks.
They created the Night Stalker because the detective was an oompa loompa he wanted to be famous like his buddy Frank Salerno from the Hillside Strangler case which I now believe was also fabricated I knew Richard for 30 years and I have the beginning of the story because I was his first victim and none of you know what happened
@@Mysteriousgirl13 It's funny how Richard had just come back from Arizona the day he got arrested he didn't even know what was happening those cops killed those people that entire summer and blamed it on him he only killed two believe that or not
@@ruthaakamonica5602 lol wtf‽ are you mad?
I bet the thought never crossed his mind that he’d eventually be beat by a group of Good Samaritans
I believe he interpreted that he'd already been beaten by those meant to nurture him and be a part of his community. In mistrusting a world that failed to protect him, he never engaged in positive social connection and learned that instilling fear and terror was the only rush of feeling his brain knew how to experience.
@@maebandy Yes true, but he had a loving caring sister. It was his own decision to be evil.
@@evoluna3056 He had an equally tormented sister that married a man who snuck out every night and she pretended not to notice to keep the house calm. And yes realizing he was fundamentally incapable of connecting/trusting other humans he embraced the power he felt in evil rather than cower in the light of others. It's not just that people learn to abuse because they have been. IT's that the release of emotions fear, pain, terror, pleasure all become imprinted in the developing mind as a comingled experience. Where one should be learning to pair touch with nurturing, compassion, and care, their primal psyche is seared with hurt in place of love. Women turn this in and self-destruct and allow others to destroy them, men act it out.
@@maebandy you spoke nothing but facts
@@maebandy The demonic realm plays a large part in the choices of the abused. Many people had tormented childhoods that went on to expose evil rather than embody it. The spiritual war is real.
My Dad was living in Los Angelos during the time Richard Ramirez was on a killing spree. One day after a long day from work he found his apartment door wide open. Everything inside was a mess... papers scattered, drawers open as if someone broke in and try to steal something. Luckily, dad didn't had anything valuable and no one was hurt that day. Don't know if Richard had anything to do with but it's something he experienced during that timeline. Everyone, get good door locks. Always lock your doors. I may be paranoid but I always check my door and sleep with a crossbow.
Get a good shotgun or rifle. One shot won’t always stop someone. I do want a crossbow though!
It was Ramirez
@@antihacker-8645 how do you know
Crossbow 😂😂😂
That last sentence hits you like an arrow to the chest
There's a lot of serial killers throughout history but something about Richard Ramirez really creeps me out and honestly scares me.
He looks so creepy
Sent by Satan vibes
It boggles my mind how much 'easier' police have it today to identify perpetrators. Back in the day, they practically needed a handwritten letter by the killer to know who it was. At least when it was random like these types of crimes. I admire the detectives that tracked down and captured these killers in the pre-DNA era.
They did not catch him! Citizens did
Yes the citizens caught him! However not this father!
Look up Colin Pitchfork. UK criminal who was the first to be caught by DNA profiling. Was in the 80s
Yes. I'm pretty sure DNA would have helped in the Jack the Ripper murders. I think about history, including before there were such a thing as police and even laws. The things people could get away with is terrifying. And there has always been evil messed up people in the world.
After police released all information about him
The people of East LA and that 13 year old boy actually deserve a medal for what they did. They had balls and took down that monster!!! Not the police. But all their work is appreciated 👏 🎖💯

@@toddmichaeljohnson7139 Yes but the citizens caught him. not the police. yeah the police did good work but because people were vigilant he was caught. imagine if those people didnt beat him up and make him stay... he could still be running round killing more people.

I remember..i worked in Los Alomitas..spelling yikes..as a preschool teacher..i had to open the school at 6 am..i used to carry a lead pipe..i suppose it made me feel better..we would close our 2 story windows at night as well..i was glad when they caught him..scary times..
He died of complications from B-cell lymphoma while awaiting execution on California's death row. He died peacefully compared to his victims. Just sad....:
Thnx to the system
But HE DIED....
Rest in piss Richard..
Peacefully?? Lmaooo
The stuff he ate daily no wonder he got cancer. Literally lived off sugar.

You’re so lucky to have been a teen in the 80s. I wish I could go back. 2022 is a shithole to be alive in.
@@kjosen5962as u comment this on a vid abt a serial killer in the 80s 💀
The poor little girl it’s awful😞
Yes! I was petrified about kidnapp & rape! ..... I don't knew that information!!!
He was recently connected to that murder. I think as late as 2009. I read a book about him but she was never mentioned as a victim.
I went to a drivers Ed run by retired police officers. Once I was driving and talking to a teacher and we were talking about serial killers. He told me about how he met Richard Ramirez when he was a young cop and lived in California. He was the neighbor of (I believe) Maria Hernandez and Dale, so he came home to be a witness to the scene of the crime. So he met Richard in court, and he was in close contact to him on an elevator. He said there was pure evil and no remorse in Richards eyes.
So basically what he learned very early in life from both his own experiences and those of his cousin is that you can literally do anything you want with little to no consequence. Not hard to fathom why he escalated from petty crime to serial killing.
I like how this focused more on the victims and those working on the case. You rarely get this POV. Hollywood likes to glorify the killers and parody them (American Horror Story). The stress and the tremendous relief was felt when I saw this. I cant imagine their pain but I am happy they were able to be heard.
Idk about glorify😂 if anything u watch the show like I did and look this up to see the actual story behind it. I’m not over here being a fanboy of him or nothing
Tbh this also glamorizes his murders. Spent way too much time talking ab the brutality of the killings over who the victims were. All we know about the victims are their ages and names. That’s not giving credence to them, that’s tying their life to the way they died. Their life shouldn’t be remembered only by who killed them and how he did it.
@@frostfeather6584. Oh please. There is no interest in that. You go create that genre. “ went to work. Maybe had a kid, liked Arby’s and movies. Loved their family. “ It will be really interesting.
His cousin had a big impact on what he would ultimately become and his father's abuse just added fuel to the fire. I'm not defending what Richard did at all, I'm just saying if he had a better upbringing than maybe he doesn't become a serial killer, or maybe he does anyway. RIP to the innocent victims and my sympathys go out to the family's that were affected by the loss of their loved ones. Outstanding video, thank you for sharing it with us.
Your right, but people will choose to do what they want at the end of the day. I don’t have a father, Im not going to act out of anger or sadness and kill all men. I will do better, find peace and love within myself etc. but everyone has their own opinions

That must have been a terrifying time to be alive in LA!
Wow 14:20 the keys saved Maria... I have never heard of such a thing, it is extraordinaire ! And above all, how lucky she was !!! She's blessed ! 🙏
Also, there was an incident where he tried to kill a girl Whitney Bennett, in her bed at night. He bludgeoned her with a tire iron I think it was, then he tried to strangle her using a telephone cord, but it started to spark and he stopped because he thought it was divine intervention telling him to leave her alone. The girl ended up living and later married one of the two cops on the case, Frank Salerno's son. Also, she was the only person he ever expressed remorse about later.
He literally makes me cringe with that greasy hair 🤢 I feel terrible for his victims. He truly is the worst nightmare
I feel the same... he makes me so sick to look at him🤮
Greasy hair and rotten teeth. He must have smelled Bad.
He was fine af😭 what y’all on? yeah he could have took better care of himself but he was still good looking for someone who didn’t... and don’t get me wrong I know what he did was wrong I get that and I would never actually mess w him in any way but he’s still hot at the end of the day💀
Yes!
He wasn't a nightmare!!
The whole thing is horrible. He didn't stand a chance to be a normal(nonhomicidal) person. And all those poor people that were the victims.😔
But there are many abused and mistreated children that don’t become serial killers. Not an excuse
Nah, no excuse for this bag of crap. Don’t ever feel sorry for these criminals.
Millions of people have abusive, traumatic childhoods but don't turn into serial killers. No-one forces you to kill. It must have cost the American taxpayer millions to keep this killer on death row for years after he was convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. What a deal! I will never understand the American "justice system". The only people who benefit are the snake oil lawyers.
It's amazing how many of these guys that fancy themselves powerful apex predators invariably select woman and children as their victims, as opposed to people who are more of a match for them physically. It's like declaring yourself the greatest martial arts expert in the world but insisting you'll only fight 10 year old's to prove your skill.
And then using a weapon as well lol

@@maebandy atheism= lack of moral code. Y’all think you can justify anything if it fits your narrative. Atheism is way more dangerous, just ask hitler, o wait.
@@wonder777warrior6 Yeah, no. Many religious people commit disgusting crimes as well, including murder. In fact, religion is responsible for many of the atrocities committed around the world over the centuries, so please don't pin it on atheism. Also, Richard's family were all hardcore Catholics, especially the father who would do horrific things to his children.
Night Stalker is such a cool name. This dude does not deserve it.
I believe he had the genes to be evil to begin with but those 2 men turned him into a serial killer.
Well i mean, he was abused from the second he gained sentience, everyone close to him was a bad influence on him. He witnessed a family member that idolized commit murder in front of his very eyes at a very young age. Combine all of these and you have more trauma than you could ever hope to fix. I don't believe that Good and Evil are genetic traits. And in Richard's case he himself is a victim in many ways, this doesn't excuse his actions in any way but it really goes to show that abused children adapts to their surroundings, and this is the result of that.
@@TheTwitchybird yea almost all serial killers had a childhood like that. I’d say the real disturbing people are the ones that have a good family and didn’t have those kind of traumas but still kill
@@Rosterized well said 👏
My mom told me she was terrified when Richard became big news and was on the loose. She was a teenager around that time and said once he was caught, a lot of people down here were relieved.

He always preyed on the weak, and used the sneakiest methods. There's this mystique about all the black magic stuff, but if you look at his actions he was a dumb coward.
Yep! Along with that, his interviews and way he talks and carriers himself you can tell he is just a low IQ easily influenced coward. He talks in circles and recites vague sayings as if he saying something deep. His arrest day you can see the fear and despair in his face. After he has been in jail awhile he became more smug when he knew he was safe. He ran from a man that he shot in the head who lived and chased him out. Pure cowardice. His satanism was just surface level bs to make himself feel better and standout.
All of which worked. Don’t deny satanism and dismiss it so easily.
he seems like a smart coward instead, after all his methods actually worked.
@@danleonhardt4360 none of that matters, they were other serial killers like him who werent satanists, detectives just werent that good at catching them yet. And if Richard or anyone else truly believes in satanism than I guess they will meet him in hell. Hope it was worth it.
@@danleonhardt4360Didn't work at all. He got captured by some senior citizens on Hubbard st and started thanking God that the cops came when they did cause they saved his life from the senior citizens that caught him. He found a new religion when he was exposed as a coward running for his life. 😀😀😀😀😀
I grew up in the area. Most of the single story homes in that area are deep. Meaning the family room and rooms are mostly located towards the back of the houses. You will never know someone is coming through the front door. Long hall ways, too many access points and It's difficult to hear anything through the walls in those types of homes because those homes weren't built for security they were built for comfort.
This was much MUCH better than Netflix, it actually gave you information about Richard and not the cops with their freaking egos 🤦🏻♀️ He never had a chance to be anything else with the type of family he had growing up and I’m not excusing him for what he did I’m only stating that he was MADE that way. Nature vs Nurture...
No way its that black and white. Lots of people have gone through the same if not worse than Richard and they didnt become horrible serial killers. No doubt his childhood played a role in his personality but that alone doesnt create a coward murderer, some people are just off to begin with.
Yeah, it was really annoying listening to these detectives half of time talking about their own lifes . Like bitch , I don't care about your stupid life . I can only feel sorry for Richard. I know that it is not an excuse and that some people go through the same shit as children. but still it depends on how mentally strong you are , and how bad were the things you went through.
@@ultimategohan1551 lots of people are born sociopaths/psychopaths but not all of them will become a psychopathic killers. They're more widespread than people imagine. They're not born inherently evil and they know what's right and wrong, however they lack capability for compassion, empathy or love due to their brain structure. They see other people as things that can be manipulated in order to benefit them. It takes specific environment in which child was raised and personality traits to turn them into a psychopathic serial killers hurting and murdering others for fun and excitement.
Just watched the Netflix doc series a few days ago
This is better than the Netflix show. Great content! Keep up the good work.
Great documentary! I loved to learn more about the story
Yo bingeing on The Night Stalker miniseries got me through a really bad breakup. I appreciate that the Netflix special focused on the victims' stories and the cops' hunt for him. They talked about Ramirez for less than an episode and his story was basically summed up by I think one of the cops. He said something like, Any trauma you could think of in someone's childhood that would create a serial killer happened to Ramirez...
The show American horror story had him on the show he was a demonic spirit that would influence others to kill, I can respect they didn't mention what he did just said he killed people for "Satan"

Its not that strange, i live in a big city and theres a smallish cemetery round the corner from me and at night its really a peaceful/relaxing place. Used to drink there with friends.
@@ultimategohan1551 drinking there with friends isn’t even remotely similar to spending the night alone there when you’re a kid.
Yes! Love that this gentleman was the narrator for this one! He's got that great creepy documentary voice.
Nice uploads Explore With Us!! I have been struggling with a bit of stress lately and you just made my day with this upload. True Crime Channels Rule! GO EWU CREW!!
Netflix wasn’t trying to make a documentary about the killer making him more Infamous. They focused on the victims and the investigation. Which I agree with but also I’m still very interested in the childhood of these psychos.
I had not heard this entire story before. Horrible crimes, but good job with presenting this. Thanks😃🇺🇸
Not even 7 am here in Kentucky, and am so excited to be awake this early so I can watch this video!!! Stay safe EWU crew!
I think you got the best story telling voice dood!!
My grandmas brother was married to Richards mother and I had no idea. I’d always read about his case not knowing he was part of my family 🙄 ( not by blood, but through marriage )
broo that's mad he was kinda his stepdad how r they doin rn tho
@@JinaMukherjeeF they both died a long time ago of OD's. They were tweakers addicted to Clonazepam and so many other things but apparently really favored Clonazepam.
@@ChristinasCure did u like ever meet richard or any of his fam members tho?that would be terrifying crossin paths wiht him
@@JinaMukherjeeF no, I wasn't even born yet when everything went down. It was this big family secret nobody wanted to talk about, but I found out after questioning my dad about my grandma's brother's health due to epilepsy running on her side of the family and I had been in the middle of testing for epilepsy, so that's when he said one of her brothers had epilepsy and another was addicted to drugs and died of an OD. He said that her brother was really troubled because he was married to a woman who was just as addicted to drugs as he was and together, they would just tweak. I asked him why the woman was a tweaker too and he said she was really messed up and so was her son. I asked why her son was messed up and he said because he killed a lot of people in the bay area where he and my dad's side of the family even lived. And I have always been extremely interested in murder cases my whole life so the moment I heard about the bay area I had a feeling about who that son was. He said it was a man named Richard Ramirez and they called him the night stalker. My grandma had pictures of Richard with her brother and I'm assuming Richard's mother as well but once he was caught and she realized it was her step-nephew who did it, she burned all the items she had of him because she didn't want anything evil in her house.
@@ChristinasCure broooo that's crazzzyy it is so scary to even imagine family members living in the area where killings happened.Glad u never had to cross paths with him.I mean not much was told about his mom and dad except for the fact they were hardworking people now that u said it,it kinda seems richard's childhood was messed up
there was so much i learned that i didnt know until now. great video.
So there's more about that evil sicko, figures 😒😡
Theres always more
I was in high school in Los Angeles county when this happened. Everyone was scared at the time..afraid to sleep. My father went as far as hiring someone to put metal bars on our windows.
This Is normal in my country but because people are scared of robberies not serial killers. Im from argentina.
Wow .All the books and movies never mentioned these twisted relationships within his family .He was basically trained and groomed to be the menace to society that he would later become .Goes to show evil isn’t always natural .It can be implanted into you by your environment
It can be a contributing factor for sure but plenty of kids go through hell and don't turn into serial killers or abusers. It's a bad cocktail of nature and nurture.
He never stood a chance, nor did anyone who crossed his path. His entire family line including, included his extended family, is a cesspool.
Yea,:he was always going to be warped and damaged, but his horrible life experiences alone don’t a serial killer make. That’s him. He was broken. Evil.
Can you please explore and cover infamous Canada’s Highway of Tears? There is so much weird and controversial stuff surrounding that. I think it’s also a very important and sadly vast collection of cases that begged to be looked at and known. By the way I love your channel! :)
Is this about the murder cases of indian women? I don't know what is so controversial about that. It's all about racism and discrimination. Murderers getting away with it,because their victims were native americans. Simple as that.
He always caught my eye. I knew there was something more to this story
@@nehehhdhdhs4574 yo whats wrong with u
@@nehehhdhdhs4574 yea with Richard if he was still alive!
@@teresaunderwood2632 is the thought that he was with children turn on to you or…?
@@Wolflover-vi9ip wat he say
Is anyone else curious about what happened to Mike’s two children?
Right quick, just disconnecting Richard's child self from who he ultimately became, makes me feel so sad that he became a disgusting and cruel "person" because of the abuse brought to him by other men, who were older and absolutely worthless! There needs to be some way to prevent children from growing into monsters.
I was in my early teens when this was happening. Geographically _most_ of these murders occurred within a fairly closeby radius 10-20 miles. I lived less than 5 minutes from the Zazzaras in Whittier. Back then we slept with our windows open. This stopped it. Scared the cr@p outta me back then.
Why would you leave your windows open having a golden state killer who killed much more people? Ot mass media would not cover his crimes? Just curious.
We always had the windows open and during that time we had to keep them closed witch made it hot in the house. I was a teenager and very angry at him for killing our friends i was not afraid of him I wanted to catch him.
If you want it open for air a bit make sure to put in a metal or wooden bar so it can't be opened further no matter where you live. I live in a small, statistically "safe" town but was raised not to make it easier for psychos or burglars. Bad things can happen anywhere. A perfect example of why you should always use all the inside locks in a hotel and in your own home. So many people fail to do that simple thing but we live in an insane world and we must at least do that. No matter the hotel or where we live. Don't live in fear but do what you can to stay as safe as possible.
Hey.. he has an evil evil look.
I honestly believe somehow or someway he was another mk ultra experiment like charles manson
@@youtubefreakyoutubefreak8071 There are evil people out there, I can tell you. Even here in Germany, people you would not think of being evil.
Hi
the way just reading or hearing the "night stalker" is already giving me goosebumps. this man is so sick.
This was like a perfect time bomb. Sometimes I think I'd something would have been different in his life, he might have done something useful in his life. This is the most terrifying serial killer IMO!!! Thanks for the upload!!!
Sadly, the real question, how could one not be a serial killer with this up bringing.
By turning to self-improvement, seeking a cognitive behavioral therapist, and turning to G-d instead of Satanism and horrible people as one’s role model. Most abuse survivors do not make the choices he made. His choices were inexcusable.
@@ChanaElisheva Turning to God? Lol There are plenty of people who worship God that have committed disgusting crimes like this and still do!
@@ChanaElisheva I think most people end up somewhere in between. They become alcoholics and drug addicts with various mental problems, but don't actually kill people. Most people with such a traumatic childhood (especially in the 70s/80s) don't even know or believe that they can still get help and get treatment. There's still a lot of misinformation about therapy and many people don't believe in it, aren't educated on mental health, so the social awareness of that must've been incredibly low in the times when Ramirez was young. Someone with so many traumas, from a poor family living in a small city over 40 years ago with zero education on psychology would very likely not go to therapy or seek self improvement on their own. To make it clear - I'm absolutely not trying to excuse people who do evil things, just trying to understand and analyze it.
A new EWU Crew upload ✔ Another true crime upload ✔ A follow up/update/missing info to a Netflix docuseries ✔✔✔
honestly its not even surprising what richard did he was exposed to evil stuff and wasn’t treated good as a kid so him going the route he went is sad he should’ve gotten help, condolences to the victims families though
When I was maybe 8 or 9. I once walked in to my parents having sex. It was the longest half hour of my life.
Richard is the classic case of "monsters are born, not made." Everyone closest to him both failed him, were negligent and encouraged him into depravity. All under whoever tried to "help" him, right under their roof. His dad, his war vet cousin, Mike and his wife, Roberto, his brother in law. EVERYONE failed him.
did you miss the point of the story? the whole thing explained how he was made not born….
You guys do great documentaries!
This monster is as evil as it gets. The devastation he caused will last for generations. So many blame his childhood. The things he went through definitely affected what he became but they weren't the reason he committed the crimes he did. There are children who have been through just as much and worse and are kind, giving, generous souls. As for his "groupies", I can't even begin to fathom what their motivations were.
Frontal lobe damage
You try going through what he went through … you’d be pretty messed up too
@@geenarage9543 lol
His childhood quite literally is the reason why he became how he is. Other people turning out fine doesn’t mean his childhood wasn’t the reason for this. When you raised with violence and learn horrific things from a young age, you’ll most likely will turn out evil. I’m quite certain he wouldn’t turn out so evil if he was raised in a loving family
@@midget420it sure was triger but not the main reason. I dont know if he ever got diagnosed but if so, i can guess he was pshichopath. If so, his brain is different phisicly. His modus operandi is different from all others and for that i still cant find any info why is that. He was chaotic in his killings and attacks. Is like he only wanted to kill… nothing more… he ruined so many families.
Well at least I know all my poor decisions in life will never add up to knowingly marrying a serial killer.
Lmao 😂😂🤣
Hi friend ☺
@@stephenduke412 hello
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well... there's no way of knowing that yet lol
We need to stop releasing criminals who plead reason of insalnlty.
Brilliant video. Thanks ewu!
I remember this guy attack a family like 5houses away from ours in los angeles. And at 12 years of age it was scary as hell!
Holy crap that must have been tramatizing
Geez glad yall are safe
Have u ever been to hell before?
@@antihacker-8645 yes,In L.A. in 1992!!!
@@OmarMartinez-iq8fg how and why in 1992
30 years later, I moved into an apartment that was across the street from Dayle's home in Rosemead. I never heard about Richard until I moved a couple years later.
I lived in LA for nine years and I remember my teacher said during Richard’s reign of terror her mother would hang pots and pans outside their windows so they’d hear if someone was coming in them. And was in constant fear everyday.
How to grow a murderer The whole story is tragic.
That's one sick SOB.
Richie wasn't a sick SOB! You SOB
@@rebelchickhan3082 STFU
20:40 That boy was a quick and wise one. Good to him. He managed to get important information.
I hope the two women who married him look back on that with total shame. You have to be a total fruit loop to do that.
