LOS ANGELES TIMES, Sept. 8, 1985

• Richard Ramirez murders - killings
• The "Night Stalker" valley intruder
• re. arraignment - best title to be had

This issue has two separate reports on the "Night Stalker" murder case of Richard Ramirez with front page headings: "Recalling Ramirez: Even Friends Didn't Trust Him" and "Search for the Stalker--Unity Born of Fear" Lengthy text continues inside with a few related photos. (see images) 
 Ramirez was captured just 8 days prior. Great to have this report in a Los Angeles newspaper, the city which he terrorized for over a year. 
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete 1st section only with all 36 pages, nice condition.

Background: This September 8, 1985, issue of the Los Angeles Times holds exceptional historical and collectible significance because it captures the immediate, raw aftermath of Richard Ramirez’s capture just eight days prior on August 31, 1985, bringing a dramatic close to the "Night Stalker" terror that held Southern California captive for over a year. Featuring prominent front-page headlines—"Recalling Ramirez: Even Friends Didn't Trust Him" and "Search for the Stalker--Unity Born of Fear"—alongside extensive inner-section coverage, original photographs, and arraignment details across a complete 36-page first section, it serves as an irreplaceable primary source from the primary hometown newspaper covering the crisis. Daily newspapers from this period are inherently rare due to their disposable nature, making a fully intact, well-preserved major metro section covering one of California's most notorious crime sagas a highly sought-after piece for true crime collectors and regional history archivists alike.
