In his cell was “The Satanic Bible,” which he read every day, and a stack of pornographic magazines about two to three feet high. His conscience was dead, no doubt, as a result of what he read…After he was convicted . . . and free to talk about his case, he told me that he had been ordered to kill these women by Satan, whom he called his father. He would admit this quite readily to the deputy sheriffs in jail (after he was convicted). He had a tattoo of a pentagram on his hand, and on his way of court every day, he would flash the tattoo and make a satanic sign with his hands (the devil’s horns) for the cameras every day. This is known as perfect possession, when the person makes a pact with the devil with his intellect and will.

You might find this interesting. The hotel where this girl was staying and subsequently was found, has a long, sordid history, including being where Ramirez resided during several of his murders.
