During September 1985 a gruesome case of a murderer by the name of Richard Ramirez
was responsible for a spate of killings around Los Angeles threw AC/DC into the dock.
Nicknamed the Night Stalker, Richard Ramirez terrorised the american people with a string of gruesome crimes.
Richard Ramirez haunted the american public for some time before the police finally
caught up with him. When the Police caught Rameriz they claimed that he was wearing
a AC/DC T-shirt & had left a AC/DC hat the scene of one of his crimes.
Friends of Richard Ramirez the night stalker told the press he was a big fan of
the Highway to Hell album and that his favourite song was Night Prowler.
Needless to say AC/DC achieved some unwanted publicity due the court case and many parents
campaigned to have AC/DC banned from playing in certain towns and called for their records to be
banned.
Richard Ramirez is currently on death row in San Quentin prison.
