It's true that Ramirez left an AC/DC cap at one of the crime scenes. But
once the police learnt his identity, they interviewed several of his old
school-friends and they told them that he had been almost obsessed by heavy
metal music, particularly that with so-called "satanic" lyrics.
>From the Crime Library website (www.crimelibrary.com):
"Another interest grew from, say boyhood friends, the sort of music he
listened to - that which glorified cultist practices. He seemed preoccupied
with Satanism and stories about black magic, demons and dragons. While his
mother sent him to Bible studies, hoping he'd learn the Christian ways of
life, Richard took the lessons to heart - but learned them in reverse. That
is, after class he would go to the library and read up on Satan and the
fallen angels, the characters that his teachers merely skipped over while
exemplifying Jesus Christ and the twelve apostles."
This suggests that his satanic beliefs grew straight from the music he
listened to. Of course he could have developed these beliefs without the
music, but it certainly made the ideas more accessible.
