[@LinzYoutube]

Hey Scott! Truly, your collab vids and thoroughly done true crime/ historical location vids( viper room, Kurt Cobains homes etc.for example) are why I subscribed! Keep up the good work! I found your channel from your interview with Kurt's Uncle. F@cking epic! Plus you stay up to date, with relevant vids. You're great at this, and you show respect, humility, and respect in your comment section. Thank you for not losing touch with the people who have subscribed, it truly makes us want to love you more.

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Story time - I just turned 18 yrs old & had graduated high school in Monterey, CA (about 2 hrs south of San Francisco) when Ramirez started his killing spree. That entire summer everyone was riveted to their TV screens, watching for updates on the news. I remember one night in particular (August 1985) when it was reported that a vehicle Ramirez was suspected of stealing was found abandoned along the roadside not far from my hometown. I can't recall now if this was right before or after his murders in San Francisco. Everyone in my area was on high alert. Unfortunately for me, this was at the height of when my mom would leave me home alone, often for days or a week at a time. My dad was still active duty in the Army & was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. I was at my boyfriend's house when we heard the news about the abandoned car. Since it was so close to our area, I was nervous about going home & being all by myself for the night. Everything was ok, but the next night I was home alone again & at around 11 pm, I heard some noise on the side of the house. It sounded like someone messing with the fence gate (the latch would stick & you had to really jiggle it to open). I knew that sound well & it made me jump up off the couch & go to the sliding patio door to make sure it was locked. While I was walking through the downstairs, checking on windows, the electricity went out. When I looked outside, I noticed the other houses around me still had power, but my house was the only dark one & that really freaked me out. Seriously, WTF?!?! I grabbed the biggest kitchen knife we owned & ran upstairs, literally leaping up 2 steps at a time. I locked myself in my room & called my boyfriend (he lived a few blocks away) and my neighbor a few houses down to tell him what was happening. He came over in a flash & immediately saw that the gate was indeed open. My boyfriend & his brother arrived shortly after; the three of them checked all around the property, under the house, the garage, & throughout the inside. No intruder but we suspected that maybe someone was possibly trying to break in and got spooked when my neighbor showed up. This person could have easily jumped the fence into my neighbor's property behind me. My boyfriend & his brother ended up staying with me all night. Even though it turned out ok, with all the news about the Nightstalker going on, that was the scariest night I've ever had. I was a nervous wreck until we heard that Ramirez had finally been arrested, back down in L.A. I'm 56 yrs old now & can still remember that night as clearly as if they just happened last week. I'm fanatical about locking doors & windows, thanks to that one terrifying incident 38 yrs ago, which I will never forget.

[@sustainfem]

Wow! Glad you were okay.

[@femme-inist]

Wow that's terrifying i would have lost it...glad you're safe

[@falvarez126]

Oh my goodness!!! I'm glad you're ok. That's so scary.

[@ReverendDoug1]

I was a teenager in high school, living in the southern California area during the time the Night Stalker was doing his killing spree. It was pretty intense. I remember people started buying guns and getting weapons for their houses for protection. It was very hot during that summer, so, so many people would sleep at night with their windows open, and that's how Richard would enter his victims houses. I'm glad he is finally dead, but I still feel sorry for his victims and the lives Richard destroyed. RIP to the victims. Awesome research as usual Scott. Great video!!

[@nickieellison190]

Scott thank you for paying respect to all the victims of this horrible tragedy

[@jeanniesherman3591]

[@Purrlow]

The night stalker is the most intriguing case I like to watch. Thanks for the content.

[@ashandemi]

Me too

[@lindseycarter579]

I got into reading true crime books as a teenager. When I got around to Richard Ramirez, I was in my early 20s living alone. I had to leave the book in my car at night so I wasn't tempted to read it. What scared me the most was the total randomness of who he killed and the viciousness of how he killed.

[@AnitaCain..]

I remember this when it happened. Victims are forgotten in these high profile cases. They deserve respect and remembrance, you give them that Scott. Thanks for covering Scott.

[@kaizer1903]

Great video. I watched many a documentary about the night stalker. RIP to all the victim's of that sick c**t.

[@makeamericakateagain]

I was 11 years old in the Summer of 1985. I concur, that my parents didn’t allow us to sleep with the windows open! I remember waking up numerous times every night, scared. We were all thankful when we was caught!

[@Spicy5327]

I would think his death was slow, painful and lonely just like it should’ve been. I recall reading he died of blood poisoning, he looked like a yellow highlighter, and died alone.. probably took a lot longer than a lethal injection would’ve.

[@stevevorgias6734]

Greatly detailed and well told as usual. You do so much and dont drown it down with anything but the topic at hand. You compact it with so much sympathy and respect.

[@__lovelysteph]

Thank you for covering this so well!! I’m born and raised in East L.A and this story has always fascinated me from hearing it from my mom who lived In the area at the time it happened. I actually went to the middle school you walked past and to this day my parents live down Indiana!

[@MsMartinez7722]

I've lived in L.A. all my life and I remember how scary these crimes were. I was 20 at the time, still living at home, my mother refused to close the windows at night, ugh. How awful this was. He definitely terrorized all of us. What a relief when he was finally caught. Good video, respectfully done Scott ❤

[@sparechainge]

So she wanted the windows open for what…

[@1805movie]

You should visit Carnation, WA where the 2007 Christmas Murders took place. One of the victims worked at the local post office, so her absence was definitely felt when it happened.

[@JasonWilliams4959]

Thank you for the excellent video and coverage!

[@JessBookgirlTV]

Scott, Make a part 2 of this video. One of the victims is buried in I believe in Pennslyvania. Another victim that survived Ramirez is Bill Cairns. He was featured on a former Lifetime TV show Monster In My Family. I felt bad for Bill, because he had his whole life destroyed.

[@evamonroy8110]

Hi Scott, I live in El Paso where Richard Ramirez was born. I know his wife Doreen Lioy whom I met at San Quentin prison in 1992. I moved to El Paso in 2020. I tried to search for the house that Richard Ramirez was raised in but I came to find out that a park has been built on that street. I currently go to the medical center which is across from his high school which is Jefferson high School. My home health nurse's mother went to HighSchool with Richie and he used to ask her out. I would like to know if you would come to El Paso and do some history here. I would love to meet you and be a part of your journey. Sincerely, Eva Monroy

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Wow I will definitely look more into that ! Would love to visit El Paso one day

[@evamonroy8110]

@@SCOTTONTAPE Fantastic, this Mexican American Mortician who's visited numerous California prisons in the 90's would be honored. I've had the privilege of meeting Geronimo Pratt in Tehachapi State prison in around 1994 and had a chance to wave at my old man's friend at the SHU in Corcoran, Charlie Manson. Charlie's follower Susan Atkins, who was the killer of Sharon Tate, happened to be a waitress for my father in a restaurant called The Pancake House in the city of Los Banos, California around 1969. God bless you and stay safe. Sincerely, Eva Monroy

Would she go out with him? He was a handsome dude so if she said no I’m surprised lol

[@myishacherry7242]

​@pineapple365 I wonder the same. Evil man but yes admittedly he was handsome. And it's also very sad just HOW he ended up that way. I never knew the details about his deranged cousin. In NO WAY way excuses Richard, but what the hell the guy was a freaking CHILD who got a very warped sick introduction into sex thanks to seeing his cousin r*pe & m*rder. That man was definitely mentally messed the f*ck up.....

[@loganstroganoff1284]

​@pineapple365 he was handsome but had rank breath due to rotten teeth. Apparently the dude lived on candy and soda and never brushed his teeth. I think they eventually gave him a false set in prison.
