About sleeping in the cemetery, Wiki says it differently, “Ramirez began to seek escape from his father's violent temper by sleeping in a local cemetery”.

Wiki's report about his older cousin, the nam vet, was horrific
I was thinking about this too. Honest question...why does someone like this sit on death row for so long? He had a staggering amount of convictions and evidence against him and basically admitted to doing most of it.
I can't tell if you're joking, but this was a huge story at the time.
Director of this series is a TX guy... Dallas / St. Marks.
Great point! Give him the gas to sedate him then wake up in jail. Brilliant,! Could have saved a few lives.
Easier said than done if you think you're staring at a brutal seriel killer. Probably easier to shit your pants than do something you think might get you killed.
His ass was caught. It was just a matter of time at that point.
Kolchak rocked. The episode where he went into underground Seattle was especially good.
Only 23 years on death row. Just looked it up. Some stupid bitch married him while on death row.
He had B cel lymphoma and hepatitis. Probably several hundred thousands in treatments.
His quality of life improved after being arrested. He became a star.
The Vietnam Vet was a main influence. Ramirez was in the room when the Vet shot his wife in the head. Also, the vet was trained in ninja type stuff and would mentor Ramirez in stealth killing tactics. Would practice on creeping up on animals at night and slaughtering them. Doing this to humans was the next extension.
Do you not remember the Original Night Stalker/East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer?
Retired strength athlete......and true crime afficianado. They talked about the shoes alot - but didnt say which bridge he tossed them off when he found out he had the heat on him. Also, Mr. El Paso married a floozy that was an alternate...on the jury that convicted him. I hope they do Gary Lee Ridgeway next.
I'm curious at what level of fighting skills he had.
Ran from the dude he shot in the head and got his ass handed to him when he got caught. Never committed a crime on a man that didn't include a gun to the head.
Retired strength athlete.... I would assume he had very poor fighting skills due to poor fitness. They alluded to it, but did not go into his physical issues. He was a heavy smoker who basically existed on candy. Oh, being a frequent freebaser of Columbian marching powder is what fueled his rage (all the jewelry he stole from victims was fenced and he bought dope). I bet he was 130 pounds when the locals remodeled his cranium with a crowbar.
Wrong neighborhood to get caught in. The locals weren't having it.
Yeah, at the time in the 80s but its not publicized as much as it should’ve been like Bundy, Gacy, etc...
Want a prime example of the system failing the people? That guy (his uncle) pled insanity, got 4 years in the state hospital, then returned to society to pick up where he left off, including 'mentoring' Ramirez.
Uncle was a psychopath that killed and raped civilians in Vietnam. He showed the pictures and told the stories to Ramirez.

I’m familiar with the Golden State Killer, yes, but he was primarily active when I was pretty young. So, I didn‘t really remember him in real time that much. Read up more on him later in life.
I was a teenager when Ramirez was on his killing spree and every single thing about him terrified me. His appearance, his way of killing, the randomness of it, the Satanic element, utter lack of any remorse, etc. I later read that he even terrified other inmates. No one wanted anything to do with that guy. Pure ****ing evil.
Watching now...
All I can say so far is FVCK Laurel Erickson..... further solidifies my disdain and sheer loathing of the snakes involved in news media.

Not sure why you'd say this. She played ball with the cops.
There’s a fine line Ketch.... the fact that you considered your ability to have a hot story more important than possibly allowing the most dangerous man in the state to vanish and wipe his trail clean from your leaking of invaluable undisclosed evidence?
You’re in the media. I get why your opinion is such on this. And I by no means consider you a snake.... however, just like with ALL professions (after all, they all contain humans) there are snakes in every one, and Laurel Erickson is a snake for even using that as leverage to get an interview....
a. She had a key piece of the story that she was within her right to report.
b. She easily didn't report it and only asked for a profile on one of the investigators as a trade off.
That's like having a dollar and asking for a quarter and a dime in return for it.
She not only played ball, she played ball easily.
None of the people involved spoke poorly of her. It seems like your big issue is with the poison you have in your mind that clouds your ability to actually realize that she did what a lot of reporters would never do, put civic safety over their careers. You hate the media so much that you watched that series and to quote your own words... "All I can say so far is FVCK Laurel Erickson."
Maybe put the "The media is the Boogie Man" mantra away and beat that drum when it's deserved.
This ain't it.
“within her right to report”...... I am within my right to use racial slurs, have sex with other women other than my wife, and drink whiskey at home until I black out every day.... doesn’t mean I should.a. She had a key piece of the story that she was within her right to report.

You’re right, she’s within her right to do what she did. And I’m within my right to question her character and call her a snake for it.
Never said the media is the boogie man.... I said there are snakes within it. There’s a huge difference.
It’s my opinion that there are some reporters out there who would choose not to use those kinds of tactics to get their story. But hey.... opinions are like buttholes right?
I kinda found her to be an attention whore in this series. Even my wife was like, “Fvck this isn’t about you lady.”
Finished it yesterday, and not gonna lie it had me a bit spooked. I had to double check make sure all the doors and windows were locked before going to bed. I’m usually a deep sleeper but little noises were waking me up.
It’ll be alright hehe.
