Between 1984 and 1985 13 people were victims of murder and assault. Investigators were dealing with a Southern California serial killer. August 24, 1985 a young man saw that there was a suspicious vehicle strolling through his neighborhood, and immediately notified police after writing down the license plate. Turns out that on that same night, The Night Stalker had struck again in that area of the neighborhood. The car was soon tracked down but when found it was abandoned. All investigators had a lead on was a fingerprint they found inside the car. This fingerprint was matched to 25 year old Richard Ramirez. His face was everywhere and local citizens soon recognized and captured him. He was sentenced to death and is still to this day awaiting death row.
