Episode 43: Richard Ramirez Part 2: Death Row Romeo

Welcome back to part two of Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker. Today we follow the savage and bloody trail of Richard Ramirez as he goes from a West Texas drifter, to the feared and terrible Valley Intruder and the Walk in Murderer, and is penultimately dubbed the Night Stalker before finally becoming the Death Row Romeo.

Buckle up, it’s a crazy ride, from his horrible crimes in San Francisco, to his infamous capture and arrest on the hard streets of East Los Angeles, to his bizarre and inexplicable status as a sex symbol and American icon. We’ll take a deep look at the women who loved and fought over him during his incarceration, as well as the psychology of hybristophilia, a sexual attraction to violent criminals.

It’s one wild, brutal and bizarre episode you won’t want to miss!!
