Between April of 1984 to August of 1985, a brutal and sadistic burglar, sex offender, and serial killer was terrorizing the San Francisco Bay Area and Greater Los Angeles areas of California.

During this time, The Night Stalker committed at least 15 murders during break ins. He prowled at night, which is what earned him the name of The Night Stalker, The Valley Killer, and The Walk In-Killer.
