Born 29th, 1960 in El Paso, Texas. Ramirez had a poor upbringing, shaping him to become the killer we all know today.
His mother was working in a boot factory and his father was a army veteran. He spend most of his time away from his parents.
He naturally had a violent tempure and spend most of his time with a babysitter.
While his older brother used to break into houses and steal with his cousin, Mike.
While Ramirez was home he reached for a radio and it resultet in a dresser falling on his head, leaving him with an concussion.
3 years later, Ramirez played in the playground with other kids and a swing knocked him unconscious.
When Ramirez started fifth grade in school, he started getting seizures in class. He was diagnosed with Epilepsy. It might be because of the head trauma earlier in his childhood.
Experts say that this could be what caused him to have disturbing visions and dreams.
2 years later, these disturbing visions became real. His cousin, Mike, returned back from Vietnam with disturbing stories and pictures.
Mike loved to brag about how he killed and raped over 20 woman. Mike also taught Ramirez on how to kill without being caught. Ramirez idolized his cousin.
Mike's wife, Jessie hated how much time he spend with Ramirez instead of finding a job. They argued alot.
One day when Jessie returned home with groceries, Mike killed her with a revolver infront of their kids and Ramirez.
Mike was later arrested, and that's when Ramirez became obsessed with killers, murder, and death. He fantasized about the violent acts in Mike's pictures.
Ramirez started stealing, and getting high. He started failing at school. And as punishment, he got beatings from his dad.
In one of the most brutal punishments, Ramirez was chained up in a cemetery at night by his father, and he was left there for the whole night.
Ramirez eventually ran away from his parents, and moved in with his older sister, Ruth and her husband.
Her husband had a weird kink, and liked watching strangers in private without them knowing from their window. Ramirez used to join his peeping Tom sessions some times.
When Ramirez turned 15, he got a job at Holiday Inn. A friend gave him master keys which he then used to watch people sleep and to crawl in their rooms to steal their values.
But Ramirez kept wanting more. One night Ramirez hid in a closet, while a guest was in the bathroom. He tried to rape her until her husband came and confronted him.
He was arrested. But his charges were dropped later on.
When Ramirez turned 18, he moved to Los Angeles. He became addicted to cocaine and slept in stolen cars.
One night, a woman ask Ramirez for some PSP drugs. And when she followed him to her apartment, he then brutally raped her.
That same week, Ramirez finally found his philosophy. He started reading books about Satanism, and became a fan of Anton Lavay, the founder of the Church of satan.
He then attended one of Anton LaVeys ceremonies. He later called his mother saying that he was "touched by Satan".
4 years later, in 1988 he was arrested for auto theft.
In 1984, Ramirez was living in two different hotels in San Francisco to avoid detection from the police.
Two children were playing in the basement in one of his hotels he was staying in, Mei Leung (9) and her brother (8).
Ramirez separated them, and lead Mei, the little girl to a secluded room in the basement so nobody could interrupt or hear them.
He raped, and stabbed her to death while nobody could hear her sceams. Just for a second.. imagine being the girl. You are completely vulnerable agianst a 6'2 adult male.
Ramirez targeted the weak and the vulnerable for the most part, so he could ensure to always win physically agianst the victim. Ramirez was a coward and a disgusting individual.
Ramirez kept on moving to new hotels, killing and raping more young woman and elderly for fun.
When Ramirez was finally caught, and his face was public for everybody to see. Girls went absolutely crazy for him despite his past.
He had multiple girlfriends, up to 15 at a time. Girls were fighting for his attention in court. He received lots of nude letters in prison by the girls.
There were some that went as far as begging for him to send his semen through mail so they could have his baby.
The basic argument is, "these girls were sadistic and freaks themselves!". How did Ramirez later on marry a virgin chritian woman in prison?
Even today we can see countless of YouTube comments praising him, calling him a "good person but just misunderstood".
Richard Ramirez's story proves that your appearance is far more important than your behavior. Ramirez raped children and was still lusted by woman.
