Maxon Carl Kneiding, 68, and his wife Lela were shot to death during a burglary at their Glendale, California, home on July 20, 1985. The killings were part of a series of violent crimes attributed to Richard Ramirez, known as the Night Stalker, whose attacks in mid-1980s Southern California included home invasions, murders, sexual assaults, and burglaries.

The Kneidings’ murders were investigated alongside numerous other scenes as law enforcement worked to identify and apprehend the person responsible for the spree. Richard Ramirez was later captured, prosecuted on multiple counts related to the attacks, convicted, and sentenced to death.

Does anyone have memories of the Glendale neighborhood in 1985 or information about the Kneidings that could add to the record?
