Richard ramirez's parents are Mexican immigrants and devout Catholics. There are five children in the family: Reuben, Joseph, Robert, Ruth and Richard. Richard is the youngest of five children in the family. Reuben and Joseph were born with defects. When Richard was born, his mother was weak and reacted strongly. Many people advised her to give up, but she insisted on giving birth to Richard.
Richard was lively and lovely when he was a child, and he was very popular with girls at school. But at home, his father's violent abuse left an indelible scar on his mind. At the age of seven or eight, Richard and his younger brother Joseph were once assaulted by a teacher. Epilepsy (epilepsy), which started frequently in the fifth grade, gradually changed his character.
It was his cousin Mike who had the greatest influence on him. Mike is a Vietnam War hero. He often tells little richard the bloody stories of the war and shares his photos of raping and killing women in Vietnam with Richard. At this point, Richard began to go to the evil side. Since he was a teenager, Richard became eccentric and began to sleep alone in the cemetery in the middle of the night. And his worship of Satan has gradually taken shape.
At the age of 17, Mike left El Paso and went to Los Angeles. Live by petty theft. This continued until 1984, and his desire finally broke out. Within ten months, he turned Los Angeles into a hell by himself. The media called him Nightcrawler.

His indiscriminate killing method, regardless of the age, sex, race and modus operandi of the victims, annoyed the police.
