phenomenon that seems to be relegated to a period between the Seventies and early 2000s. A grisly, gripping four-episode look into just how Ramirez was captured, the series highlights the popular corner of true-crime dedicated to serial killers, a much-investigated U.S. The veteran cops appear in the new Netflix documentary Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer, directed by Tiller Russell. “I asked him about it and he said, ‘Well, that’s a once-in-a-career case.’ Then, two weeks later, we’re head-long into this.” “This” being the hunt for a serial killer the media had dubbed the Night Stalker - a home invader, rapist, and murderer who whipped Los Angeles and San Francisco into a terror that lasted from June 1984 to August 1985, when Carrillo and Salerno apprehended Richard Ramirez. “When I met Frank he was going through the trial for the Hillside Strangler,” Carrillo tells Rolling Stone.

The most recent definition from the FBI is "the unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate events." But strict definitions can’t address the grey area-for example, Charles Manson, an undeniably evil and maniacal orchestrator, is not technically considered a serial killer (yikes). How many killings must one amass to be considered a “serial” murder as opposed to just an avid, excited one? Should the definition address the number of locations, or should there be a specified window of time in between events? Should the definition include a psychological motive? What defines a serial killer is up for debate.

Throughout the years, some of the most horrific mass killings have centered around Los Angeles (lucky us).
