Richard Ramirez- Ladykiller or Just Lady Killer?

Anyway:

                The story of the Night Stalker goes like this… Once upon a time in the 80’s Richard Ramirez was convicted of 13 counts of murder, 5 counts of attempted murder, 11 counts of sexual assault and 14 counts of burglary. He was made famous by the gruesome nature of his crimes and the volume of which they were committed. During an attack and failed rape attempt of 83 (not a typo) year-old Malvial Keller, Ramirez drew a pentagram on her thigh and on her bedroom wall with lipstick. This is one example of what became the calling card for "The Walk-in Killer". While incarcerated, it has been said he was even visited by the daughter of Satanic Bible author Anton LaVey (not sure if it was Karla or Zeena, sorry folks)   His first day in court, Ramirez showed up with a pentagram drawn on the palm of his left hand and yelled to the court “hail Satan!”.  Clearly that went well for him.

                But the real story here is the women who showed up to support him; the attention-starved, got-lost-on-the-way-to-the-new-kids-on-the-block-concert kind of crazy, lovesick women who supported him. These women treated him as they would any other pop-culture sensation; they wrote letters, formed fan clubs and held protests to get him out of prison, not unlike Manson family members who fanatically shaved their heads and sang in front of the courthouse in 1969.  It is not uncommon for a young man or woman to become fanatic about someone so publicized, they have access to personal information and can feel a closeness to them because there is so much access. It is especially difficult for a young person to separate their fantasy with reality when the final words of the serial killer they are fantasying about leaving the courthouse are “see you in Disneyland”! For the majority of us, these dreams die when puberty arrives or, in the case of the fans of the Night Stalker, some hussy beats them to it.

          Doreen Lioy wrote over 75 letters to Richard Ramirez before he proposed in 1995. Although I have no proof of this, Doreen had to have received just as many death threats after her wedding day than Selena Gomez after announcing her relationship with Justin Bieber.
