It’s an exemplary romantic tale: Boy perpetrates offensive wrongdoings, young lady sends consistent letters to kid in prison, kid and young lady get hitched. At any rate, that is the means by which it went for Richard Ramirez, named the “Night Stalker,” and Doreen Lioy. The pair secured the bunch in 1996, while Ramirez was living waiting for capital punishment in California’s San Quentin State Prison in the wake of being indicted for a stunning series of murders, rapes, thefts, carjackings, and more all through Los Angeles and San Francisco in 1985.
Another Netflix docuseries, Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer, follows L.A. criminal investigators Frank Salerno and Gil Carrillo’s examination of Ramirez’s apparently irregular wrongdoing binge, finishing with his fruitful catch in August 1985. In any case, that is the place where the series closes, without meticulously describing Ramirez’s wild preliminary, condemning, and the scarcely 24 years he spent waiting for capital punishment, incorporating his relationship with Lioy. To fill in the spaces, here’s beginning and end you really want to be aware of Lioy and her union with the Night Stalker.
Who is Doreen Lioy?
At the point when she started her relationship with Ramirez, Lioy was an independent youngster magazine manager from Burbank, California. As per the San Francisco Chronicle, she sent Ramirez many letters starting in 1985, not long after he was captured and detained while anticipating preliminary. As indicated by a record from a Los Angeles Times columnist who noticed one of Lioy’s visits to Ramirez in prison, Lioy had at first been struck by the “weakness” she saw in Ramirez in TV reports of his wrongdoings; after their relationship had created, she supposedly visited him at San Quentin four times each week.

When her relationship with the sentenced executioner and attacker became genuine, Lioy’s family everything except abandoned her, with her twin sister telling the San Francisco Examiner in 1996, “It’s awful for me that I’ve been connected with all of this. I was shocked by the information. To be connected by birth is fine. … I would rather not be a piece of this. It’s been a difficult occasion for the family.”
Ramirez proposed in 1988, however the two weren’t hitched until 1996, Lioy told the Examiner around the hour of their wedding at San Quentin, which was gone to by Ramirez’s sibling, sister, and niece, legal counselors, and the writer of a book professing to diagram Ramirez’s blamelessness. At the 15-minute assistance, Lioy allegedly wore a short white dress and gave Ramirez a platinum band-since self-portrayed Satanists don’t don gold, obviously.
The thing has Lioy said about being hitched to a chronic executioner?
Subsequent to professing to adore Ramirez “more than anything on earth” in her 1996 meeting with the Examiner, Lioy-then going by Doreen Ramirez-proceeded to audaciously proclaim her affection for the notorious Night Stalker in their following a long time as a couple. “He’s thoughtful, he’s entertaining, he’s beguiling,” she told CNN in 1997. “I believe he’s actually an incredible individual. He’s my closest companion; he’s my pal.”
Concerning how she had the option to experience passionate feelings for an indicted killer, Lioy’s response was basic: a steady confidence in his blamelessness. “I simply put stock in him totally,” she told CNN.
And keeping in mind that she conceded that being hitched to somebody waiting for capital punishment was a “desolate way of life” that blocked her from accomplishing her fantasy about having her very own group (since death row detainees aren’t permitted intimate visits), Lioy appeared to be happy with having supplanted that fantasy with another one: “being with Richard.”
Where could Doreen Lioy currently be?
In spite of her apparently immovable love for Ramirez, in any case, Lioy’s friendship allegedly dwindled after around 13 years of marriage. In 2009, DNA proof connected Ramirez to the assault and murder of a 9-year-old young lady in San Francisco in mid 1984, a long time before his 1985 frenzy as the Night Stalker started; Lioy is accepted to have disavowed Ramirez in the wake of learning of that wrongdoing.
Lioy never remarked on her relationship with Ramirez after those reports emerged, yet their supposed division was apparently affirmed by a Daily Beast article distributed after Ramirez’s 2013 demise that uncovered that no one had asserted his body a little while after his passing. Also, a representative for San Quentin noticed that Ramirez hadn’t been permitted any private visits in 2010 and, in his last years, wouldn’t permit guests, inferring that he and Lioy had isolated at that point.
For the last ten years, since the hour of her conceivable partition from Ramirez, Lioy has effectively stayed out of the public eye; the main ongoing notice of her is in her dad’s 2019 tribute, where she is recorded as Doreen Ramirez. Other than that, her present whereabouts are obscure, and she offered no expression after Ramirez’s 2013 demise, which was ascribed to intricacies from B-cell lymphoma, among other persistent medical problems.
