      I know it might seem strange but there is a good reason why they do this. Often times its a member of the public that will see something and come forward with vital information. When you give someone a name like "the night stalker" its something that will grab your attention and make you more aware of whats going on around you. It makes people more interested in the case and if you get more people interested, there is a much greater chance that someone will see something.

The scary chupacabra-looking picture is from about a week after his arrest, a dentist came to the jail and made a cast of his teeth for evidence. They also told him to open his mouth for those pictures because his horrible teeth were a huge identifying feature and they wanted to show the picture to the surviving victims/witnesses.

I remember the real sense of fear in the neighborhood, as someone else said commented, you didn't want to sleep with any doors of windows unlocked. I remember falling asleep next to an open screen door and waking in a panic that it was open.
    My girlfriend was in court at the same time as he was and encountered him, although at a distance, he stared at her, gave her nightmares for weeks afterwards.

      he got seven (7) medals for these murders. Then, when he came home, he murdered his wife for which he spent only 3 or 4 years in a mental institution.
      Once released he continued to brag to Richard about his "heroic" deeds in Vietnam and then they gave him a well-paying job with the Texas Workforce Veterans
      Services in San Antonio until his death of a massive heart-attack at age 50 or so.

    I'm from Boyle Heights. I wasn't born in the 80's but family and friends still talk about that time how it was hot but they would close all windows and doors locked up tight because for months they had no clue who was killing people. How he was in a market and two ladies recognized him from the news and the neighborhood came together to hold him until police arrived.
