During his teenage years, Ramirez committed an impressive number of misdemeanors and crimes including possession, breaking and entering, theft and auto theft. Once he became an adult, the teenager still committed crimes; however, the crimes became more murderous and sadistic. About 28 victims unfortunately encountered him. Some people among the 28 experienced horrible events, but were able to live thanks to his discretion. However, thirteen to fourteen other people died at his hands. Some of them met a quick death, while others were not so lucky. The method he used to “choose” his victims was like an animal searching for prey. The Night Stalker's choice of victims was very random. Ramirez attacked people of various nationalities and ages (Richard Ramirez: The Night Stalker, nd). The serial killer tracked his victims to their destination (Richard Ramirez: The Night Stalker, nd). Additionally, all victims and locations attacked by Ramírez were chosen at random. He would walk blocks or highways looking for houses or people. The reasons behind these bad actions make him seem like a crazy individual. Ramirez murdered people for the thrill and excitement he gets from the violence, and his belief in Satan also drove him to commit these crimes. The serial killer attacked individuals in order to receive ultimate effect through cold-blooded deaths and domination. Additionally, he believed that Satan was pleased with every violent offense Ramirez executed. Ramirez committed all the atrocious events over the course of a year, which began in 1984 and ended in 1985. On April 10, 1984, the Night Stalker raped and murdered a nine-year-old girl named Mei Leung in... .. middle of paper...... 1985, the Night Stalker traveled to Sun Valley. While he was moving, he stopped right in front of Chainarong and Somkid Khovananth residence. Ramirez discovered Somkid asleep on the couch; even though she woke up as he moved towards her. The killer left the woman on the couch and moved to where her husband was sleeping. The husband died of a gunshot to the head. Ramirez also tied up his eight-year-old son. At one point, he took her to the bedroom and Somkid was raped, sodomized, beaten, and forced to have oral sex (The People v. Richard Ramirez, 2006). She was taken into the house to reveal the location of valuable items. As soon as Somkid knew he was gone, she ran to a neighbor's house. Much like the other crimes, police found Avia's shoe prints on the front porch, on the back porch and inside the house (The People v. Richard Ramirez)., 2006).
