Quotes
Ramirez biographer Philip Carlo noted that Richard visited Satanic
High Priest
Anton
LaVey and even stayed with The Black Pope at the
Church of Satan headquarters for over a week and participated in several
sinister ceremonies. Ramirez was dazzled by the huckster LaVey and struck up a
friendship with LaVey’s daughter Zeena......there have been many rumors
in the Satanic community that Ramirez went to see
Anton LaVey, head of the Church of Satan, once again
to inform him of his criminal actions. In this version of events,
Richard spoke to LaVey who promptly told him to get lost. There is really
no way to confirm this as fact and it may just be
gossip. Ramirez, as mentioned, drew heavily from
Church of Satan literature to fuel his relationship with the Devil. This is
not to say that LaVey in any way endorsed the Night Stalker, but it is
within the Night Stalker 49
realm of possibility that Ramirez paid The Black Pope a visit and identified
himself as the Night Stalker.

Threat in the New Millennium by William H. Kennedy.
Various researchers including the Court TV writing staff go out of their way to downplay the role of Satanism in the Ramirez’s crimes, often leaving out the Satanic evidence collected at various crime scenes. They claim his motivation centered more on his strange childhood and the fact that he witnessed his cousin Mike kill his wife. [2006] Satanic Crime. A Threat in the New Millennium by William H.
