Most serial killers come from dysfunctional families, and they seem to have little love and more abusive tendencies due to a lack of emotional reactions to the horror that they have caused.

These types of people start out sometimes harming animals. They also tend to have issues in school or can't seem to get anyone to like them. Something in the brain triggers them to go out killing.

Could it be revenge, the thrill of it, or too much anger inside? No one really knows but the serial killer themselves. Serial killers have a weird behavior to them and can't seem to tell the truth.

Most of them suffer from severe memory problems, and the majority has experienced alcohol or drug abuse at some point in their life.

They tend to have a high sex drive and abnormal sexual behavior. Most of them have a selected place on where they prefer to orchestrate their killings at. Preferable choices include the woods, lakes, amusement parks, and so on. Some of them only choose to go after one sex to where others don't care who it is. Most serial killers choose victims from their own race, and rarely go outside of it.

February 29th of 1960 Richard Ramirez was born. His parents Julian and Mercedes Ramirez where two hard working immigrants. Them and there five children settled in El Paso. Richards's father had a job lying down track for the Santa Fe Railroad and his mother worked at the Tony Lama boot factory.

During this time she was pregnant with Richard and in her fifth month she had to quit her job. The fumes from the place had caused her to get nauseated, light-headed, and weak. When he came about he was adored by his family due to him being the youngest.

His older sister took the time and mostly took care of him, being devoted. There parents had high hopes for them and would sacrifice in order to give them a good home. The oldest boy Joseph was in poor health and had serious orthopedic problems.

There two oldest boys Ruben and Robert had learning disabilities and had poor behavior problems in school. It was looking like Richard would escape the problems that his older brothers had. He was his older sister Ruth's personal doll.
