The Original Nightstalker-Unsolved

[Errata]

If anyone knows anything else about this case please respond.

I assume you mean not Richard Ramirez? What I know about the original Night Stalker case is that they have been having some DNA issues, either suggesting that the DNA collected from some of the scenes was contaminated, or there was more than one perpetrator.

Does anyone have any info on any breaks in this case? Apparently his crimes ended in 1986 but the case is ongoing.

This SOB is one of the most prolific serial offenders in history. So much so that he has 3 different and escalating crime series and corresponding nicknames:

The Visalia Ransacker-hot prowl burglaries
The East Area Rapist- 50 (50!!!) brutal home invasion rapes/torture/assaults.
The Original Nightstalker-12 home invasion rapes/murders

The East Area Rapist and Nightstalker crimes have all been positively linked through DNA and the Ransacker crimes by MO/other evidence.

This is truly an bizarre case. apparently on a couple of the crimes he brought a dog with him. Police believe he called some of his victims before and afterward, sometimes posing as a wrong number calling and also threatening a victim in a scary voice.

He was unbeleiveable elusive, brazen and sadistic. several times his victims fought back, tried to escape, chased him and he ended up either killing them or getting away. he had been chased by police but got away every time-once being chased on a bike then ditching it and chased through back yards.
His victims were both male and female-he would often commit crimes where the male companion was present. Bludgening, shooting, tying up and terrorizing his victims were all part of his MO. He is also so elusive that it seems this most prolific of serial rapist/killer is hardly known about and does not even have a profile (for some reason) on True Crime Library website.

The most scary thing is he may still be alive.

If anyone knows anything else about this case please respond.
