Although many people knew about the Midnight Stalker, even young children as their mothers were very cautious of its paranormal identity, they never knew its past and how it got there in the first place. This mystery hasn't been revealed although there has been a lot of theories, for example: The Midnight Stalker was killed on the streets at midnight in their past life, their spirit now seeking lost children and adults to capture their souls.
