Apart from the obvious fact that she married a convicted serial killer and rapist whom she first met after his horrible acts became public news, little was known about Doreen Lioy’s past.
She divorced Ramirez in 2007 after DNA evidence revealed that her husband had raped and murdered nine-year-old Mei Leung in 1984. Ramirez was ultimately responsible for the deaths of at least 14 people. He also raped and tortured dozens more people until being apprehended in 1985. In 1996, he married Lioy.
Recent developments, however, have revealed a different side to the serial killer’s widow.
In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2019, veteran actor John Stamos claimed that he was trained by Lioy before landing his big break at General Hospital in 1982.
