Before any Los Angeles sheriffs deputy was allowed to work a beat, he had to put in at least a year as a guard at the L.A. County Jail. The experience the deputies received at the jail gave them insights into human nature and the criminal mentality which made them better cops.As Carrillo drove home that morning, a hot, fiery dawn was beginning to color the sky. He was tired and looked forward to a few hours of rest before he returned to work. Often he went about the business of catching murderers with very little sleep. A dreaming host who is part of a sleep study project conjures up the Creole legend of Père Malfait ( French: "father [of] mischief/wrongdoing/sin") [15] [16] ( Richard Kiel) willing to kill anyone who threatens its survival. Dep. Gil Carrillo of Los Angeles Sheriffs Homicide was home watching television that evening. It had been a lazy, relaxing Sunday, and Gil had spent the day with his family.

As he drove, he repeatedly replayed in his mind what he’d just done—heard it, saw it, smelled it.

Ramirez’s crimes were the subject of the four-part Netflix documentary Night Stalker: The Hunt For a Serial Killer in 2021. The series features commentary from the two homicide detectives who broke the case, Gil Carillo and Frank Salerno. The latter was known for his work in solving the Hillside Strangler murders in 1977 and 1978. Multiple victims who survived encounters with Ramirez were also interviewed.Sexually excited by the prospect of what he was going to do, he raised the knife and plunged the full length of the blade into Jennie Vincow’s chest. She woke up screaming; he kept stabbing. She tried to fight him off, but that was impossible: he slammed his hand over her mouth, raised her chin, and stabbed, then slashed her throat from ear to ear, cutting so deeply he nearly severed her head. Her body shook violently. She choked and gagged on her blood. The last image her dying eyes registered was of him—standing over her, killing her. He was certain that Satan, archenemy of Christ, of all things good, was traveling with him, and that Satan would protect him so long as he stayed evil in his heart and showed no mercy.
