Shownotes

In this episode of The Room Went Dark Amalie & Lorraine dive into the chilling true story behind Richard Ramirez, the man known as the Night Stalker. Through the lens of the Netflix documentary, we explore how fear gripped Los Angeles in the mid-1980s as a series of brutal, seemingly random attacks left a city on edge.
