Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer

CrimeDocumentaryMystery48 min per episode

Los Angeles is under siege as a killer breaks into homes, murders at random, and leaves police chasing a pattern that barely seems to exist. This documentary series follows the hunt for Richard Ramirez through the work of detectives trying to connect a string of brutal attacks spread across the city and beyond. As fear grows and the body count rises, investigators race to sort through conflicting clues, public panic, and media pressure while the suspect remains unidentified. The series builds the case step by step, showing how a citywide manhunt takes shape and how close the search comes to slipping away.
