Richard Ramirez and the Night Stalker case

Pete Dove’s book examines the crimes attributed to Richard Ramirez during the period from 1984 to 1985, including the attacks that led to his nickname, “the Night Stalker.” The account places the case across Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area and raises questions about Ramirez’s background, how he evaded capture, and the reported change in his behavior. Its framing combines a chronology of the case with questions about criminal psychology, while the true-crime subject matter keeps the focus on the crimes and their investigation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For adult readers interested in true-crime accounts of criminal cases.
  • For readers curious about questions of criminal psychology and how a suspect avoided capture.

Book overview

His reign of terror lasted from the summer of 1984 to August of 1985 when he was finally captured. During this time, Richard Ramirez terrorized the people of Los Angeles before making his way to the San Francisco Bay Area, getting the nickname of the "Night Stalker" because of his propensity to invade homes well past midnight. Claiming to be a Satanist, Ramirez brutalized his victims beyond human comprehension. Now featured in such programs as True Crime and Mindhunter, Ramirez's case begs the question, was he a born psychopath or a "made" one? How did he get away with his crimes for so long and what prompted the sudden shift in his behavior?
