Richard Ramirez - The Killer Who Prayed To Satan | True Lives

By the age of 10, heavy metal fan Richard Ramirez was sleeping in cemeteries. He would go on to spread terror throughout Los Angeles, preying on ordinary citizens as they slept in their homes. The drug-fuelled burglar would rape, murder, and mutilate, taking pleasure in making his victims pray to Satan before him. Men, women, children and the elderly all fell victim as the police raced to catch the killer who defied all known theories about serial murder. So, was Richard Ramirez born to kill? Was he warped by drugs? Or, was 'The Night Stalker' schooled in murder during his poor childhood in the tough Texan border town of El Paso?
