ramirez_cornu.gifRemember how scary it was when "Night Stalker" Richard Ramirez was committing murders in the mid 1980s in Southern California?

Today, San Francisco police tied Ramirez with DNA to the 1984 killing of a 9-year-old girl in San Francisco.

She was beaten, raped and stabbed.

Not long after, the string of killings began in Los Angeles. He crept into victim's homes and attacked them as they slept, scrawling satanic messages and mutilating victims.

Ramirez is on Death Row, convicted of 13 murders.

The San Francisco Chronicle has the story.
