He was unbelievably brutal and equally careless – police hunting the satanic Night Stalker soon realised that. But catching the curly-haired Hispanic killer whose heinous crime spree in mid-80s California destroyed so many lives was a different matter.

Read “Horrors Of The Night Stalker” in this issue for the full, incredible story.
