The mexican immigrants almost killed Ramirez. Ramirez was lucky the police showed up or he would have been a dead man. They knew who he was and they were not happy. (His picture had been published in the paper right before his arrest, so the people that were beating him knew who he was)
Also interesting about this case is how loose lips Diane Feinstein, then the mayor of San Francisco, almost botched the case up completely.
The Night Stalker wore a size 13 shoe and shoe prints at the crime scenes indicated that the killer was wearing a new style athletic shoe of which only one pair in size 13 had been sold in the LA area. That information had not been made public until big mouth Feinstein told the SanFran press that the unique shoe print found at a SanFran crime scene matched those found at LA crime scenes. Of course, the first thing Ramirez did was to dump the shoes!!
Never liked the woman after that.

* Diedre Palmer, 16 years old, Arcadia. (July 5) Beaten at home with a tire iron. Survived.
Very interesting, thanks for elaborating. Disgusting about DiFi.
They were beating him with a fence post that they pulled out of the ground. An LA Sheriff’s Deputy rolled up, and (sadly) saved his life. LAPD found out; swarmed the area, and in the chaos, took custody. Chief Gates proudly took credit for the apprehension, at the press conference. I am not a Gates detractor (generally), but that move P’d me off (LASD + LAPD are different departments).
