Still trying to get the hang of this FEAT. RICHARD RAMIREZ

This site is a little confusing. Messing with the layout and everything else, but in the meantime, reading some stuff on serial killers because I can't find anything decent to watch. This guy is one of my personal favourites. I think his attitude is pretty hilarious.

Richard Ramirez

Ramirez was unlike any of the serial killers which had previously been studied. He was hard to categorize because many of his crimes were so different in nature; he varied his methods vastly many times. His victim selection was not specific or particular (he was not like a Bundy whose victims all had long dark hair parted down the middle or Gacy who always picked young males). Ramirez’s victims included the elderly, the young, men, and women. He let some live, but he killed many. He shot his victims, he stabbed them. Sometimes he was careless when committing his crimes, like when he left a baseball hat at a victim’s house. Other times he was more careful.

Sometimes he stole from his victims, other times he didn’t. Because of these consistent variations, it took law enforcement quite a bit of time to realize they had a serial killer at large. From a “profiling” point of view, especially at the time, he was hard to figure. He killed many, many victims in a short period of time, which makes him stand out in itself. People tend to look at the number of victims killed, and not at the time frame that it took for the murders to happen. Ramirez killed victims at an alarming rate, even in serial killer standards.
