LOS ANGELES TIMES, Aug. 23, 1985 

* Richard Ramirez murders (early)
* Peter and Barbara Pan attack & killing
* The "Night Stalker" valley intruder - killer

This issue has reporting on the "Night Stalker" murder case of Richard Ramirez with a front page, one column heading: "Slaying of S.F. Man Linked to Valley Intuder" First report coverage continues inside with two related photo, one of the murdered Peter Pan. (see images) This was a time where they stilled called the unknown killer (Ramirez) as the "Valley Intruder" before the term "Night Stalker" began. Great to have this report in a Los Angeles newspaper, the city which he terrorized for over a year.
Complete with all major sections (100+ pages), light toning along the central fold, nice condition.

Background: The August 18, 1985, murder of 66-year-old accountant Peter Pan inside his Lake Merced home stands out as one of the most unique, horrifying, and politically explosive crimes in San Francisco history. Committed by serial killer Richard Ramirez, known as the "Night Stalker," the incident was exceptionally rare as it marked Ramirez’s only documented murder outside of Southern California during his reign of terror. It was further distinguished by the extraordinary survival of Pan’s 62-year-old wife, Barbara, who survived being severely beaten and shot in the head, and by the rare presence of Ramirez's signature "Jack the Knife" lipstick scribble alongside a pentagram drawn on the bedroom wall. Most notably, the crime became a focal point of intense legal and media controversy when Mayor Dianne Feinstein publicly disclosed critical forensic evidence during a press conference—specifically revealing details about the killer's distinct Avia shoe footprint and handgun caliber—which inadvertently prompted Ramirez to throw his sneakers and weapon off the Golden Gate Bridge, destroying crucial evidence. Because Ramirez was subsequently sentenced to death for 13 murders in Los Angeles, he was never formally tried for Pan’s murder, leaving this singular Northern California tragedy as a permanently unprosecuted yet pivotal chapter in the Night Stalker investigation.
