The name Richard Ramirez is etched into the dark history of American True Crime as a monster who terrorized California in the 1980s. But long before the headlines and the "Night Stalker’s" rise to fame, he was just a kid from El Paso. And to a little girl named Rosie, he was simply Tío Richie.

In this episode of Weird Tales from El Paso, we’re moving beyond the paranormal to focus on a story of healing and survival. I sit down with Rosie Juarez to discuss her new memoir, His Niece:“Love Always, Your Tio Richie” and the Silence That Followed.

This is a grounded conversation about a childhood caught between ordinary family moments and extraordinary trauma, the resilience of the human spirit, and the light on the other side of a thirty-year silence.
