My Take

Richard Ramirez is one of those figures who forces you to confront just how dark human nature can get. Growing up in El Paso, Texas — born on a leap day in 1960, of all things — he eventually terrorized the greater Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas in a 16-month killing spree from 1984 to 1985 that left at least 15 people dead. What strikes me, looking back, is how his case captivated and horrified the country in equal measure: the random, brazen nature of the attacks, the satanic imagery he leaned into, the courtroom theatrics. He died in prison in 2013, never showing meaningful remorse. I don't glamorize what he did — the victims and their families carry that weight — but as a chapter in American criminal history, the Night Stalker case remains a genuinely chilling study in how evil can operate in plain sight.
