Richard Ramirez got Married in Prison! | Clips

Surprisingly serial killer Richard Ramirez had a massive fanbase who attended his trial and he also got married in prison to Doreen Lioy. Former detective on the Night Stalker case Gil Carrillo discusses the disturbing fanbase of Richard Ramirez, his horrible childhood and more!

Richard, the son of Mercedes and Julian Ramirez, was born in El Paso, Texas on February 28, 1960. Growing up Richard was a troubled kid. A lot of this was due to his older cousin, Miguel (also known as "Mike"), who had just returned from fighting in Vietnam. Ramirez’s cousin would tell him gruesome stories and show pictures of the torture he would inflict upon Vietnamese women. Mike introduced Richard to drugs, which consequently resulted in Ramirez committing petty crimes. He also became interested in Satanism.

The first serous crime that Ramirez was involved in was the murder of his cousin’s wife. Although Mike was the one who murdered his own wife, Ramirez was at the scene of the crime and didn’t do anything to stop it. In 1977, Ramirez was sent to a juvenile detention center for a series of petty crimes. In addition, he was put on probation for marijuana possession in 1982. Soon after these two crimes, Ramirez moved to California and continued to commit crimes such as burglary and possession of cocaine, as well as a car theft charge, which resulted in a jail sentence.

On June 28, 1984, Ramirez’s committed his first murder. The 79-year-old victim was sexually assaulted, stabbed and murdered in her own home. In just one year Ramirez had murdered over a dozen people and tortured of 25 people. After many delays, in 1989, Richard Ramirez, age 29, was sentenced to the conviction of 13 murders, five attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults and 14 burglaries. Ramirez was sentenced to die in California’s gas chamber. After being sentenced he merely stated “Big deal. Death always went with the territory. See you in Disneyland.” After being on death row for more than 23 years, Ramirez died from B-cell lymphoma at age 53 on June 7, 2013.
