Richard Ramirez committed more than a dozen murders and more than a dozen serious injuries in Los Angeles and San Francisco between April 1984 and August 1985.
Ramirez was known as the Valley Intruder for his habit of breaking into houses, but the media labelled him the Night Stalker.
Whitney Bennett, a young victim of his savage attack, lived to tell about it and forged a relationship with the family of a Los Angeles investigator.
Whitney Bennett, 16, slept off at her family’s house after spending the evening talking with a few pals.
Richard Ramirez, a serial killer, unlocked her bedroom window in the middle of the night while carrying a tire iron.
Ramirez repeatedly used the firearm to strike the sleeping adolescent in the head. Then, in search of a knife, he proceeded to the kitchen.
Ramirez attempted to choke Bennett with a phone wire instead of finding one since he couldn’t find one.
Ramirez, however, thought the fact that sparks were shooting from the cord was proof of divine intervention. Bennett started to cough and breathe, and the man dropped the cord and ran away.
Is Whitney Bennett still alive?
Whitney managed to survive Richard Ramirez’s attack, although it is unknown if she is still alive. She reconnected with the detective who accepted the case at his retirement celebration years later and married his son.
