Death Row Diaries

On June 2, 1979, Marcelino Ramos executed a young woman in the walk-in refrigerator of the Taco Bell where he worked. The last words she heard were "Say your prayers." Ramos was rotund, slow, and self-loathing. Bill explains how Ramos didn't fare well on death row. Eventually he met his demise in a very strange manner, as he was convinced that a supernatural being was sucking the life out of him.

Tim Russell was sentenced to death for the 1997 killing of two innocent sheriff's deputies. He was an abusive drug addict and general lowlife, yet he had also expressed remorse for his crimes. Bill tells the story of how Russell met his unfortunate demise. Not by lethal injection or the gas chamber, but something much more sinister, and otherworldly.

Richard Ramirez was an unkempt rapist and murderer who nobody liked, besides a few other serial killers. Bill recounts his experiences in dealing with Ramirez, while Matt is pretty disturbed by the whole thing.
