Richard Ramirez letter/envelope DECEASED

This auction is for a rather romantic letter from deceased California serial killer Ricardo Leyva Muñoz Ramírez, better known as Richard Ramirez, the Los Angeles Night Stalker (2/29/1960 – 6/7/2013). Richard Ramirez had several monikers in press, including The Walk-In Killer and Valley Intruder, however it was the Night Stalker that he would come to be known and ultimately remembered as. After years of criminal antisocial behavior, Richard Ramirez started to act on his inappropriate sexual urges with a series of child sexual assaults and molestation. This would also include at least one failed attempt at child abduction. Richard Ramirez's first known rape and murder took place on 4/10/1984, in San Francisco, CA. The victim 9-year-old victim was ritualistically posed and wasn't counted among his convictions being he was linked with DNA in 2009, years after his trials. Richard Ramirez would go on to commit one of the most heinous crimes sprees in United States history. His method of murder varied, including acts of torture and sodomy. His victims ranged in age from 9 to 84-years-old. Richard Ramirez would have likely continued killing if it weren't for his arrest on 8/30/1985, in Los Angeles, CA. Both the crimes and trail were riddled with satanic themes and outbursts. The case was largely celebrated in the press. In two separate trials Richard Ramirez was convicted of 14 murders coupled with numerous crimes of physical violence, sexual assault, and burglaries. He received multiple death sentences. On 6/7/2013, while awaiting execution in San Quentin State Prison, Richard Ramirez died of natural causes. He was survived by his post-conviction wife, Mrs. Doreen Lioy-Ramirez, with whom he was separated with at the time. Richard Ramirez was 53.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: The missive is one page and signed, "Love, Richard." This is one of Ramirez's more romantic letters. He also mentions his cousin being in Vietnam and we all know the influence Miguel Ramirez had on young Richard! This is a rather handsome one page letter. The original mailing envelope is completely filled out in Ramirez's hand with a very clean return address. It's not visibly postmarked, but the stamp is 0.37¢. United States postage was that price from 6/30/2002 to 1/8/2006, so the letter is probably from that time period. The letter and envelope come inside a protective magazine sleeve with an acid free board and have been stored flat. Message me with any questions you might have. Thanks for having a look-see.
