M.O: Most of his victims were chosen at random when he would break into someone house. Usually he would go for houses with no alarm system or no dogs. If in a house with a couple he would kill the man first, usually by shooting, and then assault the women in various horrific ways. He wouldn’t always kill the women though which allowed for some reports of his appearance to police although most of these proved to be inaccurate. His methods of killing varied from shooting, strangulation, stabbing, bludgeoning and in one case he even stamped an old women to death. At many crime scenes he left Satanic symbols on the victim or on walls such as pentagram and at one he left the phrase ‘Jack the knife’ on a bedroom wall. In one attack he told a women not to scream she said ‘I swear upon God I’m not going to scream’ to which Richard responded ‘Don’t swear upon God, swear upon Satan.’

What created the Killer: He grew up with a very abusive father, the abuse often got so bad that Richard would sleep in the graveyard not far from his childhood home to avoid it. His cousin Miguel came back from Vietnam and would often tell stories of the atrocities that he committed against women there, he showed Richard who was around 12 at the time polaroids of decapitated women or of him raping them. It only got worse when Richard witnessed Miguel shoot his own wife in front of Richard and Miguel’s own children. Richard’s brothers were victims of sexual abuse from one of their teachers however its unconfirmed if Richard too was a victim of this. Injuries he sustained to his frontal lobe as a child can also have contributed to personality defects and he abused drugs from 14 up until his arrest at age 25. Read more about his childhood here.

“Serial killers do, on a small scale, what governments do on a large one. They are products of our times and these are bloodthirsty times.”- Richard Ramirez

A/N

This is a rewrite of my original summary on Ramirez as Tumblr deleted it not long ago. I really wish I could put more time into this blog but school has become very overwhelming, I am hoping to continue my Ramirez series though but no promises on when that will finally be published. Now time to back up files just in case anything else gets deleted lmao.

Part III of my Colorado series 📸

(Since people keep messaging me about why a mask was being worn, let me explain this for those of you who are unable to use your brain. The first photo was taken at a vantage-point in a National Park, where over 400 people were also hiking the park’s narrow trails, closely together. The reason you don’t see anyone is because they’re either behind the camera, or below the cliff where there are hundreds of trees blocking the view.)
