I will never forget how scary it was that hot summer, my dad was a bouncer at night clubs in Hollywood and worked all night and didn't come home in till the early mornings. We had to keep all our windows closed all night and I slept with a baseball bat to protect my mom and sister incase the Night Stalker showed up. My dad said I was the man of the house when he was at work. As a 11 year old I took that seriously. We were so excited to hear he was finally caught
I don't have understand why Rsmiiz thought he had a right to hurt so many people. So when he died I'm sure God and Jesus placed him at ok I'm in in him where he belonged DJ
Yeah ok your full of 💩
Your dad should be there and be the man of the house protecting his family.
@@galaxyride4944dad has to pay bills.
Stop capping
That was my aunt who Ramirez tried to car jack, and my uncle who came out to beat Ramirez with the pipe. I always get a kick out of these videos and clips of the capture and seeing them featured. 🙌🏻. Great, detailed video sir.
I remember how scary that all was, it was sooo hot that summer. I was happy when he was caught
Damn crazy shit. They still around?
Wow that's insane Thank God she survived
Prays go out to your family.
What the heck!! Crazy!!
Amazing how the whole community came together to get him. Even when they didn’t know who he actually was, the fact that someone needed help they just jumped in to help. Great job!
Yes I was shocked when I got home after meeting my friend I dint want tell her what had happen so when I got home i locked my self in my room and never told a soul, ultil just maybe today. Why I say maybe because, some stories are best to be kept secret, they are not suitable for everyone.
That's is east Los, Chicanos are a people who help one another, great people.
I was around ten years old remember this vividly
Cool to see them just handle what needed to be handled. And Ramirez needed to be dealt with 💯.
Our ppl stepping up to whoop that ass lol something you rarely see today. Today Ppl just pull out their phones and start recording.
Michael deserves alot of credit and respect for walking around East L.A. and filming in certain neighborhoods.. Bravo 👏
That’s exactly what I was thinking
@4:37 I love how humble Manuel De La Torre is in this interview! Dude just saved not only his wife, but countless future victims of the Night Stalker. He's a hero but he's not prideful. We need more Manuels in the world :)
RIP to the victims. The first victims were just pulling into their driveway and were randomly and brutally killed. Police were baffled because there was no motive. Soon later police would realize they had a serial murderer on their hands. Once he was labeled the Nightstalker, his crimes got even more brutal and he relished in the name.
Cereal killers mane
His first victim was actually a 9 year old girl but the case wasn't solved until long after he was caught.
He killed before that
Insane how much love Richard gets from AMERICAN HORROR STORY. I once took on the name “bikes the night stalker.” I liked to ride in the night.. I gave that name up after I read about some of the murders
I was around sixteen in '85 when this nutjob was caught. This dude put a lot of fear into people and it made locking your doors absolutely mandatory. The people that brought him down probably saved a number of lives. As always, great video.
Same here and I grew up in LA. People were freaked out... back then.
@@howardb.6205 So you were right there, I lived and still live in the Sacramento area, so we're roughly six hours from L.A., give or take. And knowing this guy was hitting the West Coast, we were right there with you, always wondering.
That's the crappy part about someone like him, Bundy, you name it, you know they're on the loose, and if the law can't catch them, it's pretty much up to you. That's the greatest part of how he was caught, the people took the law into their own hands. To this day, I'm still surprised they didn't kill him, the law would have just passed it off and called it an accident.

His uncle's influence on him after coming back from the Vietnam War had a lot to do with his beliefs and actions. It's crazy.
I thought it was his cousin.
It was his cousin
Thank you Michael for your hard work.
My boyfriend is from East L.A. and at the time of all this, he was in L.A. County Jail where Ramirez was finally taken.
One day it was time for the vans to pick up inmates to take them to the courthouse. And my boyfriend was loaded up on the van with other inmates from East L.A. The van door was all the way open and another van rolled up about 2 parking spaces over and out comes Ramirez shackled and many correctional officers. Ramirez looks at the guys in East L.A. bus and says “Hey Homies!” Like he was some kind of celebrity and all the gangster from East L.A. said who you calling homie? All the guys were upset that he killed women and old lady. And Ramirez got so scared and he shut up. He was running scared at the jail. They gangs let him know he was done. After court he was kept in segregation because the correctional officers knew he wouldn’t survive unless he was P.C. d out.
Once at San Quentin he was on lock down. That’s the only way he survived all those years.
😂😂😂 He was crazy.🥴
@@eva5601understatement
@@eva5601 yes lol
Heard the same he couldn't be out in the yard and stuff caused so many wanted too kill him 😂. He thought he wouldn't be a celebrity to others locked up. But convicts have systers and mothers that where frightened under that time. So they wanted to get even.
Great story homie. I remember Richard.
Great video! I was 8 years old living in West Covina at the time Richard Ramirez was on his spree. I completely understood what was going on because our parents and teachers talked about it pretty openly. It was a turning point in our neighborhoods where people got bars on their windows and replaced their locks to heavy duty locks. Before this, no one really thought about home security. It really was a very scary time.
I'm glad you guys are safe I had no idea he was caught in Boyle heights at all.
I lived in the area during that time as well. It was in junior high that time. It was certainly a scary time.
I was born 1982. My family lived in rosemead California. He did a killing in rosemead. My older siblings remember.
Cool story
Wow! Brings back haunting memories for me. As a 22 yr old living with my mom. He was only 4 blocks away from us. As I learned from a news update on an attack. It was scary to know he was that close. Thank God he was caught. And at the time I too owned a 66 mustang 😳 and parked in her driveway. Wow!! This video brought back a memory that I kinda forgot about. 🥺🎃🖤
Michael you're so good at hosting these videos, it's such high quality content and delivery on your part that I can't believe you don't have a team of writers giving you scripts. I said this once during one of your live streams but you should be hosting Unsolved Mysteries or something like that. Bravo!
Well…thank you for the kind words. Happy Halloween
First time watching this Chanel and have to say wow! Your work is phenomenal! Thank you! 👏🏼
I was in my early 20’s living in So Cal when Ramirez was on his murder spree. A lot of sleepless nights wondering where he would hit next. Very scary times and it was such a relief when he got caught. The fear spreading throughout So Cal was totally indescribable. Great video as always! ❤
It’s scary to think that during that time in LA, there were several other high profile serial killers including Richard. LA must’ve been absolutely terrifying at night during this time.
Thank god there’s no murders anymore
Aun lo es
Yes.. very true they weren’t actually catching the rite guy RR, they also had the Golden State Killer that was berly. Even caught in the late 21 century 2018 Eichard alredy being dead and that serial killer still out there how terrifying is that for California and also the other killer Richard Chase … so who knows remains a mystery
As a true crime lover also, I really appreciate these videos. On site, photo, and location depictions are great perspective points. Better then most documentaries. Your telling of these stories are so realistic.
Thank you for watching foxfam. Happy Halloween
Awesome episode! Richard Ramirez stayed at the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles for a time…that’s a great place to document 😊
My sister was a called to be on the jury for his trial (she ended up being dismissed) and said she has never felt such evil in her life. He gave all the jurors the most creepy death stare.
I find his interviews very fascinating. He was so articulate!
Imagine how creeped out the jury was when one of them was murdered... then it was found out that the jurors bf did it to her.
Me too
Serial Killers ARE FASCINATING
Sure. Sure...
@Firemonkey, I agree he sounded so much more regular than I imagined. I thought he would sound more crazy.
Terrific job in lining up the shots and giving precise locations and their occurrences. Really enjoy every video and going on these journeys with you guys.
Great work Michael... I grew up in L.A. about 15 minutes from where they caught Ramirez. I can still hear my mom's shaky relieved voice like it was yesterday ... "they caught the SOB!"
Some killers are just born evil, and I truly think Ramirez fits that description…you can see genuine evil in his eyes. They peer through your soul. He was diabolical and a true monster.
I agree ,his eyes are very disturbing, totally black.
I’m sitting here watching it again because I am just fascinated by the info, and I think someone else commented in saying that with how much research you do Michael and your way of how you express yourself in these videos shows and you really could have your own crime show!
A very disturbing time. I remember the dis-ease of knowing there was a lunatic loose. I was 32 and living in Sacramento and even there, I felt unsafe when thinking about that dude. TYVM! You do excellent work.
You had a right to be frightened up in Sacramento because around the same time or a bit earlier there was a serial r apist / killer on the loose. He’s the one who got caught via family DNA.
Also, most do not know this. Richard Ramirez was a c hild killer too. His DNA was linked to a murdered 9 year old Chinese girl up north near San Francisco.
It’s a true mystery as to why this was covered up and continues to be covered up.
Tyvm?
TickleYourVaginaMane
What does that even mean?
I was 14 when all this was going on. I love how these neighbors came together and got him. He was a monster.
I remember at the time there was a made for TV movie about it. I remember the scene where he saw his picture at the liquor store. I love that you did a video about this today!
I love seeing the actual locations of these things! I have been a true crime junkie since I was young and it's so interesting to see places I always saw on TV or read about.
My friend in middle school went on a weekend trip to visit family. He said they were watching TV and then they heard all of the commotion. They went outside and saw people attacking some guy. Crazy.
My dad had a run in with Richard Ramirez in the early 80s while looking for work in LA. He said Richard stunk horribly.
This happened the year I was born and it's incredible how everyone came together to help capture him and stop this crime from happening again.
Ya no thanks to any cops whatsoever
I always love to watch your documentaries, you’re so thorough with all of the info, and tell it so nicely. You do an amazing job lining up all of the locations.
These videos are more in-depth and informative than the available books and articles. Awesome work, you guys.
I remember reading about that evil person and was worried for all of the people in California. High praise for the men who confronted him and didn't even realize it was the evil person that scared everyone in the area. A whole community getting together to make sure he didn't get away. Michael, I don't blame you at all for not wanting to be on the 1st floor. Thank you for telling about the heroes who stopped him.
Richard had no soul his eyes always freaked me out. I always thought he was the devil. Great video grimms.
Growing up in So cal I remember this as kid. So scary. But it was great to see the community come together to stop this horrible person.
I was nine, almost ten years old in the summer of 1985 when this happened. I remember people sleeping with baseball bats or knives between their mattress. It was a scary time. There was a murder that happened maybe five miles from where I was living at the time in north Whittier. It was a relief that Richard Ramirez was caught. Years later I got a book about the murders and it was hard to read. Much of what he did rivals horror movies. A really sick individual who deserved the death penalty but died comfortably in a prison hospital.
15:56 that is my grandpa on the LAPD! He was the one who brought Richard Ramirez in. He told me the story of this day and it was cool to see this video played out just like he told me. Thanks for making this video. I always enjoy seeing footage that I haven’t seen of my grandpa.
Your guys time, effort, and research that you put into these shows are absolutely astonishing. From locations of certain events, to actual news bits make these shows so amazing. Showing us things and places that most will never get to see will never go unappreciated. Thank you!
Thanks for the vid. That Netflix documentary scared me too. My former landlady worked in LA during that time and told me how freaked out everyone was. The Zak Bagans Haunted Museum in Vegas has some of his stuff on display.
Great video! You should visit El Paso Texas where he is from. He used to hang out in Concordia cemetery (by his old house) which is super haunted, and has been on ghost adventures. His childhood home no longer exists since the entire neighborhood was destroyed in a flash flood in 2006.
Flipping loved this upload!!! I'm a former Forensic Pathologist and medical examiner and I find studying them fascinating. Thank you!! 🎃
Corresponded with him for ten years . I wrote a book on our correspondence - Letters From The Night Stalker - He was such a polite friendly guy in his letters .
10 years is a lot.
Have you ever talk anything about why he did what he did, or just plain stuff?
Few letters in 10 years? I have that book. He responded to everyone, Pretty much the same way :) jokes and a lot of questions
I appreciate your rationale and not over thinking and filling the genuinemotions of what took place at these places
Excellent work!! I corresponded with Ramirez for a couple years. No hint of remorse.
So informative! Your research into these is amazing!
Ramirez is one of the most interesting serial killers. There’s no modus operandi (mo); race, age, sex, etc…. But also in the manner of which he killed; utilizing so many various ways and weapons. And not only being a serial killer, but also a child rapist. So many facets to this kind of evil. Thank you for sharing this crazy piece of history. Hope you two have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for watching and the insight. Have a good weekend and Happy Halloween.
Definition of Pure Evil is Richard Ramirez.
It's quite simple. He saw those Polaroid photos of raped and killed vietnamese women as a child. He was raised for things like that to be normal. And he was tutored by this very older cousin, who also shot his wife in front of him, to use and make up weapons and fight. It was as normal to him, as is watching tick tock videos all day is normal to an average child now. Being severely abused since very early age, he never saw love, as most people think of it. Everyone was an enemy to him. There were literally no moral boundaries, cause they never existed. And, as he was on coke all the time, it made him incredibly horny and aggressive (getting to the snort again). Coke simply makes a person think they are very special. Like the king of the day or something. Everything becomes surrealistic. There is a saying: give an ignorant man a drug, and he will become more ignorant.
@@khosmoz I don't think it's quite so simple. Certainly his life events and influences, combined with drugs, contributed to this man's warped mind. However, there are others who have experienced terrible abuse and viewed things they never should have as children, yet few become as evil as this guy. Many people actually overcome their tragic pasts and the abuse and pain stops with them and doesn't proceed into the next generation.
@@kristinab1078 How many people can you name, who have witnessed a one-to-one murder in the same room as children? Can you name at least one other person and tell me this person is a rather normally functioning individual?
Thank You for your deep dive into this. You never disappoint and are very much appreciated !!
Look at how Richard is continually smirking throughout the video. You can see the evil in his eyes. The eyes never lie.
very true
@wandac396 Wouldn't you see the evil in his mouth i.e. where the smirk is rather than his eyes?
@@crose7412 eyes are a window to the soul.
@@wandac396 No, they're organs to see with.
@@crose7412 I’m not going to go back and forth with you. Why don’t you go troll somewhere else. Have a great day.
I remember him, I lived in Los Angeles when that happened!
I remember everyone being glued on the TV news, everyday!
Great video! 👍
You really do make 1st class videos. Your research is amazing and matching up the locations is so interesting. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Amazing the way you lined everything up and recreated what happened that day. The visual you created was almost like we were there..best job yet!
Michael & Jessica I absolutely love your dedication to these cases, I’ve seen documentaries about Richard Ramirez, seeing the locations gives me insights into the case that I never knew about before
I dance 🕺 to the opening of your channel.
Hi Micheal, I am a guitarist the way from cape Town South Africa, I am so happy to have come across your channel in 2022, I cannot go a day without watching it, i even re watch all your vids over and over, You are so good at these videos, thank you for bringing my childhood memories back to life again, especially with goonies and Phantasm, heck, all of them 🙂
Than You, as always for your fascinating & in depth presentations. We all appreciate all the research & work you do
Excellent vlog, Michael. Very concise and informative. Thanks for taking us along.-Joe from Joplin MO
Well done. I was a teen living near Burbank during the Night Stalker period. I remember all the news reports, and we even lived near one of the victims. I remember watching the news stories of his capture. Crazy stuff. And still would love to see an episode of filming locations for the original Carrie to include my elementary school, Morningside. 😀
Micheal and Jessica you guys are so brilliant to watch, your content is incredible, I get so into it.
I'm so glad I came across your channel, I literally binge watch your videos whilst working as I work from home, it gets me through my day.
Thank you.
Love to you both from the UK! 🇬🇧
Awesome video, Michael. Thanks for such a fascinating perspective! You really bring history to life.
Great video!!! Yall do your homework and are very articulate in your videos (which is very much appreciated)!!!! God bless you and Jess, take care!!!
Wow, what detail in laying everything out. Outstanding job.
That summer my mom and I moved from the Midwest to Los Angeles. The windows of our first floor Glendale, CA apartment didn’t lock so my mom made me sleep in her room with her. She slept with a night stick and the phone under her pillow.
Absolutely great video, I love the way you show the current and past locations, thanks for your time!
Great video as always! I really admire your way of getting into interesting details and being able to spot the places that were crucial to these crime stories. And you guys definitely made me want to see the Netflix documentary. Take care!
Another great video, thank you Michael!
The Netflix Night Stalker doc definitely affected me too. I'm a huge true crime 'fan' but something about that particular doc really hit differently
Just another sensational video again, your research is outstanding, the perfect mix of modern video and vintage video, it really gives us as viewers the full experience, you’re amazing!!! Happy new year to you and baby ghoul! Hope this year brings you both happiness and peace ❤
Thankyou for all your hard work into every single vid you both do! X
As usual great job!! One of the best channels!!
This guy was beyond scary.
Lol boo
To those out there who make clothing and pins glamourising this child abuser/killer you need to sort out your moral compass.
If that was today everyone would have been with their phone recording and not calling the cops. It took my people "Mexican Americans" to capture him.
Your content is top tier. Its content likes yours that helped me give up on terrestrial TV in the UK.
Can't wait to watch this! I think I've mentioned this before, but if you ever make it to Sacramento Ca, you should consider making a video on Richard Chase and Dorthea Puente.
Wow, I didn't know anything about Manuel De La Torre! This is why I love this channel. You are both so thorough and everything is so well documented! Happy Halloween!
I love the true crime videos the most, mostly because I’d love one day to try and find all these locations for myself. It’s difficult online to find em, so thank you guys!
Wow! Another amazing video! Thank you, Grimm Life Collective! We lived nowhere even close to LA, but that man scared me! I appreciate all the research that goes into your videos and that you are able to add the news reports.
Great video Micheal! Very informative! Keep up the good work!👍
Great video as always! Thanks for the adventure!
I'm very impressed with the quality and attention to detail you showed in your video. I really like the comparison shots from '85 to current, they are second to none. Keep up the good work!
I was in my 20's in 1985 so I remember all the news media reports, etc. Certainly would have been scary that summer if you're living in LA
I've been waiting for this video for months! Made my day guys
Another great video Mr Grimm. How has this channel not got more subs?? Deserves a couple of million at least, great work.
Thank you for the kind words Smokey. Happy Halloween
New and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel! Grew up watching Tales from the Crypt, the X-files, and Beavis & Butthead. Totally appreciate the time you put into the facts and details of each location!❤
I always love your content Grimm.
Impeccable as always guys! Look forward to your videos every week, thx for doing this for us every week 👍
Fantastic research and a nice video of this guy. Gives me goosebumps
I want to let you know
What a great job you do on every single video you produce. Thank you!
The amount of research you was fantastic! Job well done
I remember this story about him! Thank you both!
Thanks Grimmlife, your videos are always fascinating.
Thank you for watching Casey
You guys always seize to amaze me with the history and details that pertain to the locations always !! That’s why your channel is my favorite ☺️
I was a police officer in Louisiana when Ramirez was arrested. Didn't know how he was caught. Great vid.
Nice hair dude! Love your videos, thank you for all the great content you make!!! Greetings from Brazil!
Very interesting video. I've heard the story a million times but I've never seen the locations or the footage of when he was caught. Great research and presentation im definitely subbing
I watched your Onion Murder video last night and was tempted to request either a Richard Ramirez or Edmund Kemper video. I'm not a fan of glorifying serial killers but you guys are really respectful, and it's interesting for someone like me whose never been to America to see where these events occured.
The two of you, do the best true crime stories! thanks Michael, and Jessica!
Grimmlife. Your videos covering these people, places and topics are top notch! You are very thorough in your investigations and very respectful to victims and people in general. When I first saw one of your videos (probably only about a year ago) I subscribed right away because it was so good. Thank you and please keep it up!
Thank you for the hard work you put in to all your video's I enjoy them so much.
You guys need your own tv show! You’re the best!
I love the way youre showing the before and present photos thank u
Family from Boyle heights grew up out there as well good to see you shed light on this story. Always appreciate your videos !
Your videos are super interesting and capture the eerie tragedy of crime. I saw the nightstalker too when it debuted. Also the Dominique Dunne episode had a similar feeling. Love the 80s movie locations you do.
My dad went to high school with the household that had the Mustang. Story was he tried to steal it because the keys were in it.....but the engine wasn't and went on to the next vehicle. Big fans, keep up the good work on the channel. If your ever in Pensacola,FL....stop by and say hi, we have the spot where Bundy was caught and arrested.
Thank you for this one. I can't wait to watch this. Love all your videos.
Thank you for sharing these stories, your research and location sites is incredible. Much love from Australia
