In the decades that followed, infamous and violent offenders such as the \"Dating Game Killer,\" the \"Toolbox Killers,\" and \"Night Stalker\" Richard Ramirez hunted for victims in the area, while slayings of detectives, private eyes, bookies, and secret gamblers piled up in the cold case files of the police department.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAward-winning author and journalist James T.
