Cynthia Horner, along with the rest of the world, was stunned to hear that Doreen Lioy had developed a relationship with the “Night Stalker.”
The magazine editor for Tiger Beat married Richard Ramirez in 1996 in a visiting room at San Quentin Prison.
A new true-crime docuseries on Peacock, “Richard Ramirez: The Night Stalker Tapes,” delves into the life of the notorious serial killer who died in 2013 at the age of 53 while awaiting execution.
The series features rare footage and interviews that shed light on Ramirez’s heinous crimes and the impact he had on his victims and society.
One of the key points highlighted in the docuseries is Ramirez’s girlfriend, Doreen Lioy, who distanced herself from him after his crimes were made public by the police.
According to the documentary, Lioy does not want to be recognized.
Horner hasn’t been in touch with Lioy in recent years. But she would like the chance to sit down with her once more.
“It’s been quite a long time,” she said. “But I would like to get in touch because I have some questions… and I’d like to find out what kind of answers I get.”
