If you’re a weird, creepy, scary documentary series lover like me, I highly suggest watching Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer on Netflix. This 4 episode documentary covers the investigation into the Night Stalker, who was a serial killer by the name of Richard Ramirez. Richard Ramirez killed dozens of people throughout California during the 1980s and sent California police officers on a huge manhunt. The docuseries includes detailed interviews from victims, police officers, and others who were heavily involved with the Night Stalker. Although this documentary is very intriguing, I will warn you that some details are quite graphic and disturbing solely because Richard Ramirez’s tactics were extremely bizarre and vile. However, I believe real-life documentaries like this make people, especially women, more aware of their surroundings and to be more careful in society. There are really dangerous people in this world and programs like Night Stalker really show us the harsh reality of it. If you haven’t watched Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer yet, I highly recommend that you do… with your lights on and doors locked.
